Important
Never store inflammable or explosive items and strong corrosive
acids or alkalis in the appliance.
This is a household appliance, which is produced in accordance
with the national standard. It is intended for food storage only, not for
storage of blood, medicine and biological products.
To prevent risk of fire, keep the appliance away from petrol or any
other inflammables.
To prevent risk of electromagnetic interference or other accidents,
do not place a microwave oven on top of the refrigerator or use any
electric appliance inside the refrigerator.
Do not allow children to play with or near the appliance.
The internal surfaces of the fridge compartment may be very cold
when the appliance is running. Avoid touching, if possible, the
surfaces especially when hands are wet.
Do not splash water onto the appliance. Keep it away from places of
high humidity that may have adverse effect on the electric insulation
performance.
This appliance is designed to be used in ambient temperatures
between 10 and 32˚C. Use outside of this range may cause the
appliance to fail.

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.
When first switching the appliance on it is advisable to set the fridge
to setting 3 on the thermostat dial and leaving the fridge to settle for
24 hours before adusting the temperature to the preferred setting.
Please note:
The appliance will work continuously until it comes down to the
correct temperature.
If the appliance is switched off, you should allow five minutes
before switching it on again to prevent unnecessary damage to the
compressor.
Never store inflammable or explosive items and strong corrosive
acids or alkalis in the appliance.
This fridge cools your food by making the inside back of the cavity
cold. It is normal for frost to build up on this surface; it then dissipates
and drains through a small drain at the bottom, where it evaporates
harmlessly. The presence of frosting at the back is not a malfunction
of the fridge.

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.
• 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 sufficient 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.

Storage and use
The fridge is for short term food storage. Although the temperature
can be maintained between 0-10˚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.
1. Butter and eggs
2. Food in jars and bottles
3. Drinks, e.g. milk
4. Cooked food
5. Yoghurts and cheese
6. Fresh meat and fish
7. Fruit and vegetables
The fridge shelves can be moved according to the storage
requirements within the fridge section. To move the shelf, lift up the
front section and then pull it outwards. To replace, slide the shelf
back into the slot, and lower the front section.
When storing root vegetables with leaves, such as carrots or turnips,
their leaves should be removed. This prevents the leaves from
absorbing nutrients from within the vegetables.

Controls
Thermostat dial
The controls for this fridge are simple and consist of a single
thermostat dial. To change the temperature, simply turn the dial left
and right to cycle through the available settings. A centrally located
embossed arrowhead indicates the setting. In the above figure, the
setting is ‘0’. The settings available range from 0 to 6 with 0 being the
‘Off’ setting and ‘6’ being the coldest.
After changing the temperature setting, the time taken to achieve
the new temperature will depend on how big the change is from the
previous setting.
Switching On and Off
When the fridge is connected to a power supply it will automatically
switch on unless the thermostat dial is set to ‘0’. To switch the
appliance on, turn the dial to a setting between 1 and 6. To switch
the appliance off, turn the dial to setting ‘0’. If you are turning the
appliance off for a long time, then switch off the mains power supply
also.

Care and cleaning
Always disconnect the appliance
from the power supply before any
cleaning or maintenance.
The fridge 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 a mild solution
of washing up liquid and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.
The water drain hole at the back of the fridge compartment and
the evaporating tray should be cleaned periodically to prevent the
defrosted water from collecting inside the fridge compartment. The
cleaning rod can be used to clean the drain hole.
If the appliance is not to be used for prolonged periods of time,
unplug and clean the appliance. The door should be left slightly ajar
to prevent the formation of mildew and unpleasant odours.

Defrosting the fridge
The fridge is self-defrosting. Any water created will run out of the
fridge through the channel at the back of the fridge.
It is important to keep the channel clear at all times using the cleaning
tool supplied.
The defrosted water is collected in the evaporating tray at the back
of the appliance and dissipated by evaporation.
If you notice a heavy build up of ice, refer to the troubleshooting
section on ice on page 12.
