2.1 DE FROS T ING
When selecting a location for your unit you should make sure the oor is at and rm,
and the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature between 60.8°F (16°C)
and 100.4°F (38°C). Avoid locating your unit near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or
radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight as it may increase electrical consumption. Extreme
cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly. This unit is
not designed for use in a garage or outdoor installation. DO NOT drape the unit with
any covering.
When installing the unit, ensure that 16 in. (40 cm) of free space is left at both sides,
6 in. (15 cm) at the rear and 8 in. (20 cm) at the top of the unit. This will allow cold air to
circulate around the refrigerator and improve the eciency of the cooling process. The
door can be opened to the right or the left, depending on what better suits the location.
Please ensure there is adequate space for the door to fully open.

4. OPERATION
4.1 ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE
When using the refrigerator-freezer for the rst time or after defrosting, turn the tempera-
ture control to “MAX” setting for at least two hours before introducing the food to be
stored. All frozen food products you purchase should be placed in the freezer compart-
ment as soon as possible to avoid the frozen food from defrosting.
In winter or low temperature conditions, please switch the temperature controller to higher
settings, like: MAX.
Always follow storage recommendation printed on the packaging of frozen food by the
manufacturer.
Be careful that the drawer mustn’t mangle the refrigeration pipeline.
4.2 NOISE INSIDE THE UNIT
You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly
normal, but you should be aware of them.
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It
has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault
and will not aect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as
it pumps the refrigerant around the system.
4.3 TIPS FOR KEEPING FOOD IN THE UNIT
• Cooked meats/shes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/shes to
avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/shes in a container which is large enough to
collect juices and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.
• Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of
the unit are kept cool.
• To prevent transfer of favors and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and
vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
• Always let pre-cooked food cool down to room temperature before you put it in the unit.
This will help to maintain the internal temperature of the unit.
• To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the
door. We recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take
food out.

cycle of the compressor.
Water is channeled via the drain hole to the collection tray
above the compressor where it will evaporate.
Please ensure the drain hole is checked and cleaned on a
regular basis so water can exit the storage compartment.
5.2 CLEANING THE INTERIOR & EXTERIOR OF THE UNIT
• Remove all the shelves and the fresh food storage bin. To remove the salad bin, rst
remove the lower door shelf.
• Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with
warm water using a “wrung-out” sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing
the shelves and fresh food storage bin.
