plugged into an outlet that is properly grounded. If the outlet is a 2-prong wall outlet, it must be
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The serial rating plate indicates the voltage
and frequency the appliance is designed for.
• Before connecting your appliance, ensure that the information on the data plate (voltage and
connected load) matches that of the main electricity supply. If in doubt, consult a qualitifed elec-
trician.
• Insert the plug into a socket with an ecient ground connection. If the socket has no ground
contact or the plug does not match, we recommend you consult a qualified electrician for assis-
tance.
• The appliance must be connected with a properly installed fused socket. The power supply (AC)
and voltage at the operating point must match with the details on the name plate of the appli-
ance (the name plate is located on the inside of the appliance).
• We do not accept responsibility for any damages that occur due to ungrounded usage.
• Installation work and adjustments on the appliance must be carried out by qualified personnel
only. Work performed by persons with inadequate technical knowledge may adversely eect the
performance of the appliance, causing damage to the equipment, and void the warranty.

DOOR OPEN ALARM FUNCTION
If fridge door is open for more than 2 minutes, a double “beep” will sound and the interior lights
will blink.
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS WARNINGS
Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient temperature ranges stated in the standards,
according to the climate class stated in the information label. It is not recommended that your
fridge is operated in environments which are outside of the stated temperature ranges. This will
reduce the cooling eciency of the appliance.
Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings, the
quantity of food kept inside the appliance and the ambient temperature in the location of your
appliance.
• When the appliance is first switched on, allow it to run for 24 hours in order to reach operating
temperature. During this time, do not open the door and do not keep a large quantity of food
inside.
• A 5 minute delay function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your appliance
when connecting or disconnecting to the main power supply, or when an electrical interruption
occurs. Your appliance will begin to operate normally after 5 minutes.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is designed to work in dicult climate conditions and is equipped with ‘Freezer
Shield’ technology which ensures that the frozen food in the freezer will not defrost even if the
ambient temperature falls as low as -15 °C. So you may then install your appliance in an unheated
room without having to worry about frozen food in the freezer being spoilt. When the ambient
temperature returns to normal, you may continue using the appliance as usual.

The ice maker freezes and stores ice cubes. To use:
• Pull the lever towards you and remove the ice maker tray.
• Fill with water to the marked level.
• Hold the left end of the lever and set the ice-tray on the icebox.
• When ice cubes have formed, twist the lever to drop the ice cubes into
the icebox.
Do not fill the icebox with water in order to make ice. It will break.
NOTE: Too many ice cubes in the storage compartment can inhibit the
turning action of the ice tray. If you need to keep a quantity of ice
cubes on hand, empty the storage bin into an air-tight container to
keep ice cubes fresh.
FREEZER BOXES
The freezer boxes allow food to be accessed more easily.
REMOVING THE FREEZER BOXES
• Pull the box out as far as possible
• Pull the front of the box up and out
NOTE: Always keep hold of the handle of the box while removing it. After

ward you. (Fig.2)
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
For normal operating conditions, set the temperature of the cooler compartment to +4 or +6˚C
(39˚ or 43˚F).
• To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store liquids in sealed
containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating
liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting.
• Cooked dishes must remain covered when they are kept in the fridge. Do not place warm foods
in fridge. Place them when they are cool, otherwise the temperature/humidity inside the fridge
will increase, reducing the fridge’s eciency.
• Make sure no items are in direct contact with the rear wall of the appliance as frost will develop
and packaging will stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator door frequently.
• We recommend that meat and clean fish are loosely wrapped and stored on the glass shelf just
above the vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides the best storage conditions.
• Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the crisper containers.
• Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables (greens,
broccoli, carrot, etc.) being aected by ethylene releasing fruits (banana, peach, apricot, fig etc.).
• Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.
• Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an uninterrupted
refrigeration cycle before refrigerator storage.
• Water leaking from meat may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. You should pack-
age meat products and clean any leakages on the shelves.
• Do not put food in front of the air flow passage.
• Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date.
• To keep the refrigerator compartment at the optimum temperature, do not allow food to come
into contact with the temperature sensor located in the refrigerator compartment.
• To ensure a safe food storage temperature, maintain an operating temperature inside the fridge
cabinet of 2˚C/36˚F to 4˚C/39˚F. Fridge temperatures warmer than 4˚C/39˚F can promote un-
safe bacterial growth in food.
• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator immediately, wait for the temperature to pass outside. Hot
foods increase the degree of your refrigerator and cause food poisoning and unnecessary spoil-
ing of the food.
• The crispers/vegetable compartments are best for storing fruits/vegetables, while meat/fish, etc
should be stored within the fridge/chiller compartment.
• To prevent cross contamination, meat products and produce should not be stored together.
• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in closed containers or covered to prevent moisture
and odors.
• To ensure optimal performance, make sure there are no obstructions preventing the doors from
closing properly and forming a tight seal.

Cheese and dairy products
Until the expiry date recom-
mended by the producer
On glass or door shelves
Eggs 1 month On designated egg shelf
Cooked food/leftovers 2 days
Store in plastic foil, air-tight bags
or containers on glass shelves
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
For normal operating conditions, set the temperature of the freezer compartment to -18˚C/0˚F or
-20˚C/-4˚F.
• The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.
• Food in liquid form should be frozen in sealed plastic containers, while solid food should be fro-
zen in plastic pouches or bags. Wrap and seal fresh food properly; packaging should be air-tight
and shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil, polythene bags, and plastic containers
are ideal.
• Do not store fresh food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• Before freezing fresh food, divide it into portions that can be consumed in one sitting.
• Consume thawed frozen food within a short period of time after defrosting
• Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions on food packaging when storing frozen food. If
no information is provided food, should not be stored for more than 3 months from the date of
purchase.
HUMIDITY CONTROL SLIDER
If the crisper is full, the Humidity Control slider located
at the top edge of the crisper drawer should be opened.
This allows the air in the crisper and the humidity rate
to be controlled, increasing the length of food storage
within. The Humidity Control slider should be opened if
any condensation is seen on the glass shelf.

FOOD STORAGE
CLEANING AND DEFROSTING
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it has been stored under appropriate conditions
and that the packaging is not damaged.
• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers and placed in the freezer as soon as
possible.
• Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of humidity and abnormal swelling. It
may have been stored at an unsuitable temperature and the contents have deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermostat setting, how
often the door is opened, the type of food, and the length of time required to transport the prod-
uct from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and
never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
• If the freezer door has been left open for a long time or not closed properly, frost will form and
can prevent ecient air circulation. To resolve this, unplug the freezer and wait for it to defrost.
Clean the freezer once it has fully defrosted.
• The freezer volume stated on the label is the volume without baskets, covers, and so on.
• Do not refreeze thawed food. It may pose a danger to your health and cause problems such as
food poisoning.
NOTE: If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, you will find that it
will not open easily. This is normal; once the air pressure has equalized, the door will open
easily.
INTERNAL/EXTERNAL CLEANING
Wash the inside of the appliance with luke warm water and a mild soap. Never use abrasive or cor-
rosive cleaning agents, steel wool, scouring sponges, chemical cleaning agents, or highly perfumed
cleaning products to clean the interior or exterior as these will damage the surface and leave
behind a strong odor. A sponge, towel, or soft brush is recommended. Wash with a mixture of two
tablespoons (30ml) of baking soda to 1 quart (1.14L) warm water. After cleaning, wipe all surfaces
with a soft cloth and clean water to rinse, and allow the fridge/freezer to dry.
• Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and/or other electrical components.
• Clean the accessories separately by hand with soap and water. Do not put accessories in a dish
washer.
• Clean the condenser with a brush at least twice a year. This will help to sustain performance and
save on energy costs. The power supply must be disconnected during cleaning.
DEFROSTING
• Your appliance performs automatic defrosting. The water that results
from this defrosting process flows through the water collection spout
and into the water tray behind the appliance where it evaporates.
• Make sure you have disconnected the plug of your appliance before
cleaning the water tray. Wipe out the tray with a soapy sponge regularly
to prevent odours from forming.

TROUBLESHOOTING (continued)
PROBLEM SOLUTION
The appliance is
making noise
These are normal noises
A “cracking” sound can occur:
• During automatic defrosting
• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of insulating
materials).
A short “cracking” sound occurs:
• When the thermostat switches the compressor on/o.
A motor noise occurs:
• When the compressor is operating normally.
• The compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is first
activated.
A bubbling noise and splashing sound occurs:
• Due to the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
The sound of owing water occurs:
• Due to water flowing to the evaporation container. This noise is normal during
defrosting.
The sound of blowing air occurs:
• During normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.
• If the edges of the appliance are warm where they contact the door joints
(especially during warm seasons) the surfaces in contact with the door joint
maybecome warmer during the operation of the compressor; this is normal.
There is a build-
up of humidity
inside the
appliance
Check if:
• All food is packed properly. Containers must be dry before being placed in
the appliance.
• The appliance door is opened frequently. Humidity in the room enters the ap-
pliance when the doors are opened. Humidity increases more quickly when
the doors are opened frequently, especially if the humidity in the room is
high.
The door does
not open or
close properly
Check if:
• There is food or packaging preventing the door from closing
• The door joints are broken or torn
• Your appliance is on a level surface.
The edges of
the appliance
are warm where
they contact the
door joint
Especially during summer (warm seasons), the surfaces in contact with the door
joint may become warmer during the operation of the compressor, this is normal.
20
RECOMMENDATIONS
• If the appliance is switched o or unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before plugging the appli-
ance in or restarting it in order to prevent damage to the compressor.
• If you will not use your appliance for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays) unplug it. Clean the
appliance according to the directions on page 15 and leave the door open to prevent humidity
and smell.
• If a problem persists after you have followed all the above instructions, please consult the nearest
authorised service centre.
• The appliance you have purchased is designed for domestic use only. It is not suitable for com-
mercial or common use. If the consumer uses the appliance in a way that does not comply with
this, we emphasise that the manufacturer and the dealer will not be responsible for any repair
and failure within the guarantee period.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat
source (such as a radiator or oven) otherwise an insulating plate should be used.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool before placing them inside the appliance.
3. Place thawing food in the refrigerator compartment if available. The low temperature of the
frozen food will help cool the refrigerator compartment while the food is thawing. This will save
energy. Frozen food left to thaw outside of the appliance will result in a waste of energy.
4. Drinks or other liquids should be covered when inside the appliance. If left uncovered, the hu-
midity inside the appliance will increase, therefore the appliance uses more energy. Keeping
drinks and other liquids covered helps preserve their smell and taste.
5. Avoid keeping the doors open for long periods and opening the doors too frequently as warm
air will enter the appliance and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
6. Keep the covers of the dierent temperature compartments (such as the crisper and chiller if
available) closed.
7. The door gasket must be clean and pliable. In case of wear, replace the gasket.
