Before Fitting:

Before connecting to the electricity supply

leave the appliance to stand for 2 hours to

allow the cooling system to settle.

Please read through this section before

starting any work.

At the base of the kitchen unit intended for

installing the appliance,there should be at

least 200cm2free space,for adequate air

circulation.

Do not cover the air outlet grille at the top of

the appliance.

Your Integrated Fridge Freezer is designed to

fit into a tall housing as shown (fig 1). It is

vitally important that the appliance is vented

correctly.

Choosing a location:

Your Integrated Fridge Freezer should be

fitted into a kitchen unit space where it is easy

to use.

The power socket should be in a readily

accessible position adjacent to the unit.

Never place the appliance near a heat

emitting device (eg.cooker,radiator,water

heater or similar) and do not expose it to

direct sunlight.In such a position your Fridge

Freezer will have to work harder and will cost

more to run and may be damaged by the

heat. The appliance may be exposed to lower

or higher temperatures but only for short

periods of time and the temperature should

never be lower than 5˚C.

The rear wall of the appliance gets warm

during operation and water evaporates from

the drain pan on the compressor.You must

therefore provide adequate air circulation at

the rear of the appliance.

Getting your Appliance ready for use.

Before connecting to the mains electricity

supply leave the appliance to stand for 2

hours to allow the cooling system to settle.

Clean the appliance,and be thorough,

especially in the interior.(see‘Caring for

your Appliance.

Before you start using your appliance check

that:

- The appliance is level.

- It is thoroughly dry inside.

- There is adequate air circulation.

- Accessories are correctly placed in their

positions.

Running in the Compressor:

Your appliance is operated by a compressor

which switches on and off in order to

maintain the internal temperature.

The compressor requires a running in period

of up to 2 months.During this time it has to

work a little harder and may result in more

noise than usual.

Noise levels are also determined as to the

location of the appliance,what is stored and

where the items are placed,

Whether the compressor is running

or not,it is normal to hear sounds

created by the liquid and gases sealed

within the system.
