Installation
Location
When selecting a position for your fridge freezer, you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and
the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 12°C and 32°C.
Avoid locating your fridge freezer near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also, avoid direct
sunlight in sun lounges or conservatories. If you are placing your fridge freezer in an outbuilding, such
as a garage, ensure that the fridge freezer is placed above the damp course, otherwise condensation
will occur on the fridge freezer cabinet.
Never place the fridge freezer in a wall recess or into fitted cabinets or furniture. When your fridge
freezer is working, the grille at the back may become hot and the sides warm. To aid the air flow
around the fridge freezer keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction. It must also be installed so that there is at least 7cm (2 ¾”) of free
space at the back, sides and above the fridge freezer.
The fridge freezer door can be fitted to open to either the right or the left, depending on its location.
(see instructions on page 5)
Levelling the Fridge Freezer
Once the fridge freezer is sited in its final location, make sure it is level. To do this use the 2 levelling
feet at the front of the fridge freezer. (If the fridge freezer is not level, the doors and magnetic seal
alignments will be affected.)
Cleaning Before Use
Wipe the inside of the fridge freezer with warm water using a soft cloth. Wipe completely dry before
replacing the shelves and baskets.
Before Using Your Fridge Freezer
Check that your power outlet is compatible with the plug supplied with the fridge freezer. If not, see
the section called ELECTRICAL CONNECTION at the back of this booklet.
IMPORTANT: Do not switch the appliance on for 3 hours after installation, in order to allow the
coolant fluid time to settle.
Before placing any food in your fridge freezer, turn the fridge freezer on and wait for 24 hours, to
make sure it is working properly and to allow the fridge freezer to fall to the correct temperature.

Using Your Fridge Freezer
Switching on your fridge freezer:
1.
Before connecting the fridge freezer to the mains supply make sure that the Temperature
Control located inside the fridge freezer is set between 3and 4, which is the correct setting for
use in a room of average temperature.
2.
Wait 24 hours before placing food in the cabinet to allow for the fridge freezer to fall to the
correct temperature.
Adjusting the Temperature
The internal temperature of your fridge freezer is controlled by the Temperature Control. There are 7
settings. Position 7 makes the fridge freezer coldest. Position 1 makes it the warmest. To adjust the
temperature, turn the Temperature Control to the preferred setting.
The temperature of the fridge freezer is best maintained around 0C to +5C. Avoid setting the
thermostat too high otherwise this may reduce the temperature to a point where certain fresh foods
may begin to freeze.
Noises Inside the Fridge Freezer
You may notice that your refrigerator makes unusual noises during operation. Most of these are
perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them.
GURGLING, WHOOSHING
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
affect the performance of your fridge freezer.
HUMMING, PURRING OR PULSATING
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.
