Cleaning Before Use
Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda. Then rinse with warm
water using a ‘wrung-out’ sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves
and salad bin. Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth.
If you require more information refer to the Cleaning section.
Before Using Your Unit
Before placing any food in your unit, turn it on and wait for 24 hours, to make sure it is
working properly and to allow it time to fall to the correct temperature. Your unit should not
be overlled.
• Before Plugging in YOU MUST
Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with
the unit.
• Before Turning On!
Do not turn on until two hours after moving the unit. The coolant uid needs
time to settle.

Operation
Switching On Your Unit
1. Connect the mains cable to the mains
socket. The internal temperature of your
unit is controlled by a thermostat. There
are ve settings, of which position 5 is
the coldest and position turns the unit
o.
2. Adjust the thermostat control dial
to the desired position, bear in mind
that the higher the number, the lower
the temperature. Position 3 is the
recommended setting when operating at
normal room temperature (between 16°C
and 38°C).
3. The unit may not operate at the correct
temperature if it is in a particularly hot or
a particularly cold room, or if you open
the doors often.
4. To ensure that the unit is cool enough to
suciently chill your food, wait 24 hours
before lling it with food.
5. If you are concerned that your unit
is not being kept cold enough and
wish to check the temperature, you
will need a special fridge/freezer
thermometer. These are available from
most supermarkets and hardware shops.
Place the thermometer in either the
fridge or freezer compartment and leave
overnight. The correct temperature for
the fridge compartment should be an
average of 5°C.
Adjusting the Temperature
The internal temperature of the unit is controlled by a thermostat. Positions 1-3 for short term
storage, position 4-5 for long term storage.
Noises Inside the Unit!
You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal,
but you should be aware of them!
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 aect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the
refrigerant around the system.

Tips for storing food in the fridge and reducing food waste
• Cooked meats/shes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/shes to avoid
bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/shes in a container which is large enough to collect juices
and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf at the bottom of the fridge
compartment.
• Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the compartments. Ensure all
parts of the unit are kept cool.
• To prevent transfer of avours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and
vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
• Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain
the internal temperature of the unit.
• To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the
doors. We recommend that you only open the doors when you need to put food in or take
food out.
• 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.
• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room
temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment.
• 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 sh 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.
• Store loose fruit and vegetables in the crisper.
• Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables (green
leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being aected by ethylenereleaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot,
g 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.
• To avoid cross-contamination do not store meat products with fruit and vegetables. Water
leaking from meat may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. You should package
meat products and clean any leakages on the shelves.
• Do not put food in front of the air ow passage.
Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.
