WARNING: Risk of ﬁre/ﬂammable materials

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE

PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH WEEE DIRECTIVE 2012/19/EU.

At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed

of as urban waste. It must be taken to a special local authority

dierentiated waste collection centre or to a dealer providing this

service.

Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible

negative consequences for the environment and health deriving from

inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be

recovered to obtain signiﬁcant savings in energy and resources. As a

reminder of the need to dispose of household appliances separately,

the product is marked with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin .

Before ﬁrst use of the fridge/freezer

You must allow the fridge to settle for at least ﬁve hours prior to

switching the power on.

It is recommended that you clean the interior of the appliance prior to

ﬁrst use, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water then

thoroughly dry the interior.

The fridge may have an odour to it at ﬁrst use. This will disappear

as the appliance cools.

This appliance has been designed with ease of use in mind but

please read the following instructions carefully to ensure you

familiarise yourself with the appliance and its operation. This will help

you to get the best results and also help to prevent you from being

charged for unnecessary service calls.

Important

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)

with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of

experience and knowledge, unless they have been given

supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person

responsible for their safety.

•Children must not play with the appliance.

•Cleaning and user maintenance must not be made by children

without supervision.

•If the appliance is switched o, you should allow ﬁve minutes

before switching it on again to prevent unnecessary damage to

the compressor.

•WARNING - Keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.

•WARNING - Do not use mechanical devices or other means to

accelerate the defrosting process.

•WARNING - Do not use electrical appliances inside the food

storage compartments of the appliance.

•WARNING - Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

•WARNING - Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol

cans, with a ﬂammable propellant, within this appliance.

•Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with

the appliance.

•This appliance is not intended for use at altitudes exceeding 2000

metres.

•This appliance is a household refrigerator and is intended to be

used in domestic environments and similar applications such as

sta kitchen areas, farm houses and bed and breakfast type envi-

ronments. It should not be used in commercial environments.

•If your appliance uses R600a as a refrigerant (this information will

will be provided on the rating plate) you must take care during

transportation and installation to prevent the cooling system ele-

ments from being damaged. R600a is an environmentally friendly

and natural gas, but is explosive. In the event of a leak due to

damage to the cooling system, move your fridge away from open

ﬂames or heat sources and ventilate the room in which the appli-

ance is located for 5 minutes.

Fridge use

•Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.

•Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should

be allowed to cool to room temperature before being put

into the refrigerator.

•Nothing should rest against the rear wall of the

refrigerator, as this will cause frost and possible

condensation problems which will be dicult to remove.

•Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped

away before putting into the fridge.

•Wrap or cover food before putting into the fridge. This will

help prevent the loss of moisture, keep food fresh and

avoid unpleasant odours.

• Sort foods prior to storing. Any foods to be used soon

should be stored at the front of the shelf to prevent

deterioration caused by the door being open for

prolonged periods.

•Do not overﬁll the fridge. There should be sucient

space between the foods to allow the cool air to circulate.

•Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help

to keep the temperature low and save energy.

•Never store raw meats above cooked meats or other

produce. This will help to prevent juices from raw meat

contaminating other foodstus. We recommend storing raw

meat packages or containers on kitchen roll and changing

the roll regularly. This will help to stop raw meat juices

running around the appliance.

Freezer use

•The freezer compartments are designed to store only

frozen food.

•Never put hot or warm foods in the freezer, allow them to

cool fully before putting them into the freezer.

• Follow the instructions on the food packaging for storage

of frozen food. If no information is provided, foods should

not be stored for more than three months after the

purchase date.

•Store food in small packages (ideally less than 2kg). This

reduces the freezing time and improves the quality of the

food after thawing.

•Wrap food before putting into the freezer. To stop the

wrapping sticking together, ensure it is dry.

• Label the food before freezing with information including

type of food and dates of storage and expiry.

•Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen. Only

defrost as much food as is required to prevent wastage.

• Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the

freezer compartments as they could explode.

•The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen

within a 24 hour period is 8 kg.

•Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum

amount.

•To freeze fresh food more quickly, switch the thermostat

to setting 5 a few hours prior to placing the food in the

freezer. After the food is frozen, lower the setting.

• Where possible, do not overload your fridge and freezer

compartments. This allows for air circulation around the

contents and keeping airways etc. as unobstructed as

possible will ensure optimum performance.

Important notes on ﬁrst use and usage

•When you ﬁrst switch on the appliance, you should ideally run

it without any contents for the ﬁrst 24 hours and not open the

appliance doors. If you need to use it straight away, try not to put a

large quantity of food inside.

•The appliance will work continuously until it comes down to the

correct temperature.

•This appliance features a ﬁve minute delay function which, after

power has been cut and restored or the appliance turned o and

on again, allows ﬁve minutes to pass before switching the cooling

system on again. This is to prevent unnecessary damage to the

compressor.

•The climate class for this appliance is N. This means ambient

temperatures should not fall below 16°C or exceed 32°C.

becomes colder the higher the number on the control.

When the thermostat is set to •the cooling system is switched o.

We recommend initially setting

the temperature control in mid

range for the ﬁrst 24 hours then

adjusting the temperature up

or down from this point as your

personal preference. If your

fridge is often relatively empty,

set the thermostat to a low

number to help prevent straining

the system.
