Before first use You must allow the fridge to settle for at least twenty four 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 and then thoroughly drying the interior. The fridge may have an odour to it at first use. This will disappear as the appliance cools. Please note: The appliance will work continuously until it comes down to the correct temperature.
Use Fridge • 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 difficult to remove. • Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away before putting into the fridge.
• Store food in small packages (ideally less than 2.5kg). 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 unless it has been completely cooked. Only defrost as much food as is required to prevent wastage.
Storage The fridge section is for short term food storage. Although the temperature can be maintained between 2~8˚C, extended periods of food storage is not recommended. As the cold air circulates within the fridge, the temperature can vary between the different sections. As such, foods should be stored in different sections according to type. Section 6 is the coldest part of the fridge. 1. Butter 2. Food in jars and bottles 3. Drinks , e.g. milk 4. Cooked food 5. Yogurts and cheese 6.Fresh meat and fish 7.
The salad crisper is designed with a humidity control to ensure fruit and vegetables last longer. This can be adjusted by the slider at the front right of the salad crisper. Fully opening the slider control to high humidity restricts the amount of dry air entering the crisper from the fridge compartment, extending the life of items such as lettuce and cucumber. Open (fully left) = Low. Closed (fully right) = High.

Care and cleaning Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before any cleaning or maintenance. Both fridge and freezer are frost free and as such this appliance is designed not to require defrosting. The fridge and freezer sections should be cleaned using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water. Do not use abrasive products or detergents. After washing, rinse and dry thoroughly. Clean the shelves and balconies separately by hand with soap and water.
Defrosting the fridge The fridge is cooled by convection using cold air forced through channels at the rear of the fridge. No defrosting is required. Defrosting the freezer The freezer is frost free and as such is designed not to require defrosting. To switch off the compressor for a short period of time and so to force a defrost cycle, push and hold the Audio Alert Release / Force Defrost button for approximately five seconds. After 20 seconds, the defrosting process will begin.

Installation And Ventilation This appliance must never be installed close to heat sources, e.g. heating elements, cookers or in damp places. Introduction: The information provided in this document shows the cabinet ventilation requirements and the installation steps to fit the product into the housing unit: 560-570 550 min 200cm² 540 43 996 10 1788 66 625 1780 min. 30 min.
Ventilation The main consideration when installing any refrigeration unit into a fitted kitchen is ventilation. The heat removed from the cooling compartment needs to be dissipated into the atmosphere. Incorrect ventilation can lead to premature compressor failure, excessive power consumption and total system failure.
The open channel at the rear is clearly shown. For the correct operation of the appliance it is important that the top of the housing unit is not blocked off. A channel depth of 40-50mm is normal with most units. A hole is shown in the base shelf of the unit; this allows air to be drawn over the compressor & heat exchange. Some installers fit a decorative plinth vent. In most cases this is not required, but is a welcome aesthetic addition.
Fitting the product into the cabinet 1. R emove the gasket protection pieces: The gasket protectors prevent excessive seal compression during transport and are required during the installation process. Remove the gasket protector from each door (fig 5) and proceed with the installation. Cover caps are provided to fill the hole; take care when inserting these. 2.
top edge of the product (b). The trim piece should be fitted loosely at this stage to allow access to the top fixing brackets. 4. Fitting the magnetic seal strips: Two magnetic seals are supplied to fill the gap between the cabinet and the edge of the products. These simply fit against the left and right edges. To make it easier, it is useful to apply a little sticky tape to the top and bottom of each strip to prevent curling. Note that the seal may need to be cut to length. 5.
8. F itting the bottom cabinet fixing bracket: A sliding bracket is provided to secure the non-hinge side of the product to the cabinet. This is fitted to the bottom of the product using two machine screws, as shown below. A guide piece is also provided to ensure the unit is aligned when installed. Fit the bracket and guide, as shown but do not tighten the securing screws to allow the bracket to slide left and right. 9.
pieces from the hinges. 10. Securing the product to the housing: Secure the product to the housing at the hinge side by using two screws in each hinge. The fixing holes in each hinge as shown in figure 10. 11. Securing the bottom fixing bracket: With the lower guide piece in place slide the lower bracket against the housing unit and tighten the two screws to lock the bracket in position (use a good quality screwdriver of the correct size for this).
Fitting the cabinet fascia doors First, fit the upper fascia by following the steps below. After fitting the upper fascia in the correct position, use the lower edge of the upper fascia as a guide for positioning the lower fascia (A distance between the two fascias when installed is normally between 2 and 4mm) and fit the lower fascia.

If the range of adjustment detailed below is not enough then the refrigerator is not located correctly in the cabinet and / or the upper fascia fixing plates are incorrectly positioned. fig. 18 Depth adjustment Cupboard door fig. 19 Horizontal adjustment (Y): 1. Loosen the upper fixing plate nuts (B). 2.
Fitting the trims and cover pieces 1. Open the door and lift out the decorative covers (marked ‘a’) in figure 20 2. Remove the position guides (d), turn them round so that the lip at the top faces outwards and insert them into the slots shown in the image (e); these will be used to line up the fascia panels before securing them in position. 3. Line up the fascia panel against the housing unit to determine where they need to be when installed and position the guides to the top of the fascia panel.
to the fascia panel using the provided wood screws, ensuring that the screws will not penetrate through the fascia where there are any rebates, etc. and then remove the guides. Any small errors, as in the image above, can be adjusted for after the fascia has been mounted. 5. Hang the fascia panel on the support pins and check that the fascia is positioned correctly. Adjustments can be made in all directions at this stage using the adjustment points shown in figure 444.
