Refrigerant gas information  
Caring for the Environment  
IMPortant: This appliance is provided with refrigerant  
gas, ISOBUTHANE (R600a). When moving the appliance  
take care to ensure that it is not excessively struck or  
shaken. Failure to do so could damage the appliance.  
Disposing of your packaging  
Your new refrigerator was protected by suitable packaging  
while on its way to you. All of the materials used are  
environmentally friendly for disposal and can be recycled.  
Please make a contribution to protecting the environment by

ArtNo.000-019  
Do not bin logo  
Behaviour of the gas  
recycling centre.  
This refrigerant gas is highly flammable so do not allow the  
gas to come into contact with hot surfaces or naked flames.  
Gas R600a is heavier than air: if released it forms a high  
concentration at floor level where ventilation is poor.  
Old appliances still have some residual value. An  
environmentally friendly method of disposal will ensure that  
valuable raw materials can be recovered and used again.  
When an appliance has reached the end of its working life  
unplug it from the mains. Cut off the mains cable and dispose  
of it together with the plug.

About the Freezer Compartment  
The freezer compartment consists of three drawers (fig.2-3).  
fig.2-3  
As with the refrigerator, certain areas of the freezer are better  
for storage of certain foods.  
Ice creams and water ices are best stored towards the rear of  
the appliance where it is coldest.  
Large/heavier portions of food, such as meats joints for  
roasting are best stored in the drawers at the bottom of the  
appliance, while less weighty items should be stored on the  
shelves: this is to prevent damage to the appliance.  
You should always make sure that food stored is suitable  
for freezing and that you have stored it securely inside the  
appliance.  
Defrosting food for cooking  
Should food become partially thawed, or defrosted it should  
be consumed as soon as possible as the quality will be  
affected by defrosting.  
always make sure that food is thoroughly defrosted  
nn  
before cooking and no ice crystals remain. this  
is especially important for poultry, as this can be  
extremely harmful to health.  
Always follow the defrosting instructions on packaging when  
defrosting ready meals: manufacturersguidelines are always  
best, as some frozen foods should be cooked from frozen.

follow the ‘Freezing using the Super Frost Setting’ section a few  
hours before intending freezing.  
For smaller quantities of fresh food, follow the ‘Freezing using  
the Super Frost Setting’ section an hour before intending  
freezing.  
Fresh food should be packed into airtight containers or  
packaging. This will help to make sure that the food does not  
dry out or lose its flavour. It will also make sure that flavour  
does not transfer from other foods.

3. Food Storage Tips  
Tips on Storing Fresh Food  
Melon, pineapples and bananas can go directly into the  
freezer after preparing, for storage over a longer period.  
Make sure that foods, which have been cooked and  
require chilling, are at room temperature before placing  
them into the appliance. Make sure that these foods are  
stored in suitable containers.  
Packaging fresh foods properly, using the correct  
temperature and taking into account food hygiene will  
enhance the quality of fresh foods stored within this  
appliance.  
Foods stored in the refrigerator should be cleaned and  
dried before storing.  
Use plastic bags, aluminium foil or other food wraps to  
cover fresh foods not in packaging to prevent flavour  
transfer and prevent contamination.  
Before foods are put into the refrigerator, it is  
recommended that the foods should be pressurised,  
so that the water cannot vaporise, and the fruits and  
vegetables keep fresh and food smells will not mix.  
Before storing items in multi-packs (i.e. yoghurt) remove  
any excess packaging.  
Stored foods can be marked in bags.  
Foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the  
shelf.  
neVer store anything that is flammable, volatile or  
explosive inside the appliance.  
nn  
Make sure that foodstuffs are stored systematically (raw  
meats with raw meats, dairy with dairy) to avoid flavour  
transfer and cross contamination. Raw meats should be  
stored towards the bottom of the appliance to prevent  
the possibility of it dripping onto uncooked food. Other  
foods should be stored above raw meat.  
Delicate foods should be stored in the coolest part of  
the appliance.  
Try not to open the door too often.  
Set the thermostat to make sure that foods remain  
suitably cold; try to avoid freezing within the fridge.  
Using a thermometer will help you to judge how cool  
the appliance is. Place it into a glass of water and leave  
it inside the appliance for several hours to get a reliable  
reading.  
When storing food in the fresh food section always  
make sure there is adequate space for airflow  
circulation. This helps to maintain the shelf life of the  
food.  
Some foods contain natural oils and acids (e.g. citric  
acid) which can damage plastics if spilled: make sure  
these foods are suitably contained.  
When storing food in the refrigerator make sure that  
foods are not too close to the rear wall to avoid the risk  
of freezing.  
Unpleasant odours inside the fridge are a sign that  
something has spilled and cleaning is required. Using  
warm water with bicarbonate of soda will clean the  
interior of the appliance and remove most spillages (see  
‘Cleaning and Maintenance’).  
It is suggested for radishes and other root vegetables to  
trim the leaves. This keeps the nutrition in the root and  
not absorbed by the leaves.  
Put frozen foods into the fresh food area to let them  
defrost. The low temperature of the refrigerator reduces  
the formation of bacteria and extends food life.  
Always remember to remove perishable foods from this  
appliance before taking prolonged trips or holidays.  
Some foods like onions, garlic, bananas and root  
vegetables are better stored at room temperature than  
in the fridge.

Tips on Freezing Food  
As with storing fresh foods, suitable packaging, correct  
temperature and food hygiene will enhance the quality  
of the food you are freezing.  
When storing commercially frozen foods, please follow  
these guidelines:  
Always follow manufacturersguidelines for the  
length of time you should store food for. DO NOT  
exceed these guidelines!  
Avoid putting hot foods into the freezer. First let them  
cool until they reach room temperature.  
Make sure that all foods for freezing are of a high  
quality, and suitable for freezing.  
Try to keep the length of time between purchase  
and storage as short as possible to preserve food  
quality.  
Use packaging material that is odourless and airproof  
(such as plastic bags) to store food in so different foods  
can be mixed without affecting the quality. Make sure  
that it is airtight. Leaking packaging will dehydrate the  
products and lead to loss of beneficial vitamins.  
Buy frozen foods, which have been stored at a  
temperature of –18°C or below.  
Avoid buying food which has ice or frost on the  
packaging. This indicates that the products might  
have been partially defrosted and refrozen at  
some point: temperature rises affect the quality of  
food.  
Keep the surface of the packaging dry: this keeps the  
packs from freezing together.  
Mark packages with the kind of food contained and the  
date of storage.  
Should there be a power cut, or the freezer /  
refrigeration appliance fail for any length of time  
you may need to remove food from the freezer  
and store in a cold, hygienic place (i.e. garage or  
out house area) until the power is restored, or the  
appliance is repaired.  
Food needs to be frozen quickly, so it is best to freeze  
small portions whenever possible and make sure  
that they are as cold as possible before storage. The  
recommended maximum weight for each portion is  
2.5kg.  
To prevent undue temperature rises; you should  
wrap the foods in layers of insulating material,  
such as newspaper, to help to maintain their  
temperature. It is also important that any food  
affected by this situation should be either  
Keep food which is fresh away from food which is  
already frozen, if you need to freeze fresh food every  
day, make sure that it is in small portions to prevent this.  
DO NOT exceed the maximum load for freezing: which  
is given as 11kg / 24 hours (see data badge for details).  
consumed or cooked and refrozen (where suitable)  
soon afterwards in order to prevent health risks.  
Write the expiry date and food names on the outside of  
the packaging so you can be assured of the food type  
and when it is safe to eat.  
Layers of newspaper can also be used to help keep  
foods cold while you are defrosting the freezer  
(see cleaning your appliance).  
Take food from the freezer to defrost when needed.  
Defrosted food cannot be refrozen unless it is cooked.  
DO NOT put too much fresh food into the freezer  
at once. This could go beyond the freezer’s cooling  
capacity (see ‘Technical Data’).

5. Cleaning and Maintenance  
Cleaning  
fig.5-1  
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply  
before cleaning.  
ON  
ALARM  
nn  
To maintain a high performance level, occasionally clean the  
condenser coils at the back of the appliance.  
Defrost the appliance regularly. A build up of thick ice  
decreases the efficiency of the appliance. You should defrost  
whenever the frost reaches 5mm thickness.  
To keep internal odours to a minimum it is best to periodically  
clean the compartment.  
Clean the interior using warm water and bicarbonate of soda  
with a soft cloth. Make sure that the interior is then dried  
carefully with a suitable cloth.  
Drain hole  
Defrost channel  
Do not use harsh abrasives, or aggressive cleaners  
nn  
as these can damage the interior of the appliance.  
Shelves and other accessories can be cleaned in the sink  
using liquid dishwashing liquid and warm water. Make sure all  
soap is rinsed off and all parts are dry before replacing them  
inside the appliance. Do not clean them in a dishwasher.  
Always keep the door seals clean. Clean the door gasket with  
warm water or a neutral detergent that leaves no residue. A  
tight-sealing door gasket is critical to the efficiency of your  
appliance.  
Do not spray or rinse the freezer with water or  
nn  
fig.5-2  
other liquids. this could harm the electrical parts.  
Use a dry cloth when cleaning near the electrical  
nn  
parts.  
Do not clean the appliance with a stiff or wire  
nn  
brush.  
Do not use an organic solvent such as detergent,  
nn  
petrol, lacquer, thinners, acetone or acid.  
to prevent your skin sticking to cold steel parts,  
nn  
make sure your hands are not wet when touching  
the parts.  
Do not use Hot water to clean the glass shelves, as  
nn  
they may break or crack.  
The Defrost Drain Hole  
Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator  
compartment during operation. The defrost water is  
collected by the evaporating tray (fig.5-1) and evaporates  
automatically.  
The drain hole (fig.5-2) should be cleaned periodically with  
the drain hole cleaner. This will prevent water from collecting  
in the bottom of the refrigerator, instead of flowing down the  
defrost drainage channel and drain hole.  
IMPortant: Please note that the drain hole cleaner should  
not be left in position permanently. Otherwise this may  
prevent the defrost water from entering the drain hole.

You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain  
hole to clean the defrost drainage channel.  
fig.5-3  
You should be careful to make sure that food packages do  
not touch the rear wall of the appliance, as this can interrupt  
the automatic defrosting process and deflect water into the  
base of your refrigerator.  
Use a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water to  
clean the evaporating tray.  
IMPortant: It is normal to get some ice droplets forming  
on the back wall of the appliance. The formation of ice  
droplets does not indicate an appliance fault.  
Defrosting  
The frost in the freezer compartment should be removed  
periodically. Use a plastic scraper to keep down the amount  
of frost that builds up.  
IMPortant: The freezer should be defrosted at least twice  
a year. The number of times that you need to defrost it will  
depend on the setting of your thermostat and how much  
food you freeze and store in the freezer.  
fig.5-4  
The day before you defrost, switch on the Super Frost setting.  
This will make sure that the food contained in the freezer is  
frozen properly.  
Side view  
While defrosting the appliance, remove the food from the  
freezer, wrap it in several layers of paper and store it in a cool  
place. The temperature rise in foods will shorten its storage  
life, so the food should be used within a relatively short time.  
Fit the tube with the  
cut out as shown  
Do not place food back in the freezer once it has  
nn  
started to thaw.  
Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply.  
Drainage tube  
Leave the door to the freezer open. You can place a bowl  
of warm water inside the freezer to speed up the defrost  
process.  
The freezer section is fitted with a defrost drainage tube:  
Pull out the bottom drawer and place it on the floor in front  
of the freezer (fig.5-3).  
The defrost drainage tube is located in the base of the freezer.  
Remove it and insert it in the hole at the front of the freezer,  
making sure that the square cut-out is in and faces down  
(fig.5-4).  
Check to that the defrost water coming out of the defrost  
drainage tube; it will flow into the bottom drawer that you  
have placed in front of the freezer.  
Make sure that the bottom drawer does not overflow: the  
defrost water may need emptying periodically.  
Once all the ice has melted, thoroughly dry the inside of the  
freezer.  
IMPortant: If the inside of the freezer is not dry, then  
there will be an immediate build-up of ice when the  
appliance is switched back on.

Bulb housing  
Light bulb  
Do not attempt to freeze fresh food inside the  
nn  
freezer until after the 24 hours.  
Do not use sharp metal objects to remove the ice  
nn  
on the freezer, as this could cause damage to the  
refrigerant system.  
Do not use mechanical devices (such as hair dryers)  
nn  
to accelerate the defrosting process.  
Replacing the Light Bulb  
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply  
nn  
before replacing the light bulb.  
There is an interior light in the top of the refrigerator section.  
Remove the bulb housing cover, by gently pulling the clip  
away from its slot (fig.5-4). Then slide the cover off, removing  
the lugs on the cover from the bulb housing.  
Bulb cover  
Change the present light bulb with a new one. The  
replacement bulb should not have a greater rating than 15W.  
Replace the light cover and after waiting five minutes,  
reconnect to the mains supply.  
When Not in Use  
If you are not using the appliance for an extended length  
of time, it is recommended that you switch off the electrical  
supply, empty any food out, clean the inside of the appliance  
and leave the door ajar.  
This will save energy, and also prevent a build up of stale  
odours inside.

Check that there is power to your mains supply (e.g.  
that there has not been a power cut or that the fuse  
has not blown).  
Please note that if an engineer is asked to attend while  
the product is under guarantee and finds that the  
problem is not the result of an appliance fault, then you  
may be liable for the cost of the call out charge.  
Check that the thermostat inside the appliance has  
not been turned to the OFF position.  
the appliance must be accessible for the engineer  
to perform any necessary repair. If your appliance is  
installed in such a way that an engineer is concerned that  
damage will be caused to the appliance or your kitchen,  
then he will not complete a repair.  
Check that your mains supply voltage, corresponds  
to the voltage stated on the rating plate of your  
appliance.  
My fridge-freezer appears to be performing poorly  
this includes situations where appliances have been tiled  
in, sealed in with sealant or any installation other than  
the one specified has been completed.  
Check that the appliance is not overloaded and that  
food has not been packed too tightly into it.  
Please refer to the conditions of guarantee that appear on  
the warranty card that you receive with the appliance.  
The thermostat setting is too low: you should turn  
the thermostat up higher.  
Make sure that the door is closing properly and that  
the door has not been opened for a long period in  
error.  
Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation for your  
appliance.  
My fridge-freezer is noisy  
The refrigerant gas that circulates the pipework of  
the appliance may make a slight noise, even if the  
compressor is not running.  
If the noise worsens or the appliance gets louder  
than normal check that it is levelled off correctly, that  
nothing is touching the rear of the freezer and that  
nothing placed inside the appliance is rattling.  
Ice has formed on the inner back wall of my fridge  
Check that food has not been pushed too far back  
inside the appliance, so that it is in contact with the  
inner back wall.  
IMPortant: It is normal to get some ice droplets  
forming on the back wall of the appliance. The  
formation of ice droplets does not indicate an  
appliance fault.  
There is water in the base of the fridge or leaking out of  
the fridge
