Disposal of old electrical appliances
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical
appliances must not be disposed of in normal unsorted municipal waste. Old appliances
must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of
the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the
environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you
of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately
collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for
information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
This product carries a 12 year month. If you experience any problems with your Igenix product

Troubleshooting
1. The Refrigerator is not working
Check it is plugged in and switched on. Check that the fuse in the plug has not
blown. Plug in another appliance, such as a lamp, to see if the socket is working.
2. Condensation appears on the outside of the Refrigerator
This may be due to a change in the room temperature. Wipe off any residue of
moisture.
3. The door is not closing correctly
If the door seal is not functioning correctly the door adjustment will need to be
checked. Please refer to the ‘Levelling the Refrigerator’ section on page 2.
Repairs and maintenance of the appliance should only be performed by an authorised,
qualified technician.
WARNING! It is hazardous for anyone other than authorised personnel to carry out
servicing or repairs which involve the removal of covers. To avoid the risk of an electric
shock do not attempt repairs yourself.
In the unlikely event that you experience any technical problems with your Igenix
Refrigerator please call our Customer Services Department on 01473 271 272.

• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are free and debris and to
prevent cold air from escaping.
Defrosting
After a period of time frost will build up in the chill box. Regular defrosting will therefore be
necessary to maintain the efficiency of the Refrigerator. This should be carried out if the frost
build up begins to interfere with the food storage. Choose a time when the stock of frozen
food is low and proceed as follows:
Take out the frozen food, turn the Refrigerator off at the mains supply and leave the
door open. Ideally the frozen food should be put into another freezer or refrigerator. To
speed up the defrosting process bowls of hot water can be placed inside the
Refrigerator to raise the air temperature.
1) When all traces of ice have been removed and defrosting is completed, clean away
any water and wipe dry.
2) Clean your Refrigerator as described below, plug in and switch the Refrigerator
back on, allowing it time to fall to the correct temperature before replacing food.
Cleaning the Inside of the Refrigerator
You should clean the Refrigerator internally with warm water using a soft cloth. Wipe the
Refrigerator dry before replacing the food. Plug in and switch on the mains supply.
Cleaning the outside of the Refrigerator
Use standard cleaning fluids to clean the Refrigerator exterior. The grille of the condenser at
the back of the Refrigerator and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft
brush attachment.
Noises inside the Refrigerator
If you have not owned a Refrigerator before, you may notice that it makes some rather
unusual noises. 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 Refrigerator.
HUMMING, PURRING OR PULSATING
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.

Installation
When selecting a position for your Refrigerator, 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 Refrigerator near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also
avoid direct sunlight.
If you are placing your Refrigerator in an out-building such as a garage or annex ensure that
the Refrigerator is placed above the damp course, otherwise condensation will occur on the
Refrigerator cabinet.
Never place the Refrigerator in a wall recess or into fitted cabinets or furniture. When your
Refrigerator is working, the grille at the back may become hot and the sides warm. It must
therefore be installed so that there is at least 5-7 cm of free space at the sides and 1-2cm of
free space above the Refrigerator. There is a built in air flow grille at the back of the
Refrigerator lid to ensure the correct distance from the rear wall.
Levelling the Refrigerator
Once the Refrigerator is sited in its final location, make sure it is level. To do this use the two
levelling feet at the front of the Refrigerator. If the Refrigerator is not level, the doors and
magnetic seal alignments will be affected.

Door Fitting
The Refrigerator door can be fitted to open either to the right or to the left, depending on its
location. The refrigerator is delivered to you with the door opening from the left hand side. To
change the opening direction please follow these instructions.
• Turn off the power.
• Remove the top hinge cover (Fig 1).
• Remove the three screws (Fig 2 & 9) that hold the top hinge (right side) to the
frame. Take away the top door hinge (Fig 3).
• Lift the door (Fig 4) and place it carefully onto a padded surface to prevent
scratching.
• Remove the top hinge screw cap (Fig 5), hinge plug (Fig 6), levelling front legs (Fig
7 & 8), bolt (Fig 9) and bottom hinge (Fig 10).
• Change the placement of the corresponding parts.
• Fix the top hinge screw cap (Fig 5), hinge plug (Fig 6), levelling front leg (Fig 7) to
the corresponding position on the right hand side.
• Fix the levelling front leg (Fig 8), bolt (Fig 9) and bottom hinge (Fig 10) to the
corresponding position on the left hand side.
• Set the door (Fig 4) in its place making sure it sits on the bottom hinge.
• While holding the door in the closed position, secure the top hinge (Fig 3) on the
top left hand side with the three screws. Do not tighten the three screws until the
top of the door is levelled.
• Install the top hinge cap (Fig 1) on the top hinge.

Cleaning Before Use
Wipe the inside of the Refrigerator with warm water using a soft cloth. Wipe completely dry
before replacing any shelves or baskets.
Before Using Your Refrigerator
Check that you have your power outlet is compatible with the plug supplied with the
Refrigerator.
Always allow 2 hours before turning on the refrigerator to allow the coolant fluid time to settle
after the refrigerator is in place.
Before placing any food in your Refrigerator, turn the Refrigerator on and wait for 24 hours,
to make sure it is working properly and to allow the Refrigerator to fall to the correct
temperature.
Using Your Refrigerator
Switching on your Refrigerator:
1) Before connecting the Refrigerator to the mains supply make sure that the
Temperature Control located inside the Refrigerator is set between 3 and 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 Refrigerator to fall
to the correct temperature.
Adjusting the Temperature
The internal temperature of your Refrigerator is controlled by the Temperature Control.
There are 6 settings. Position 6 makes the Refrigerator coldest. Position 1 makes it the
warmest. To adjust the temperature, turn the Temperature Control to the preferred setting.
The temperature of the Refrigerator is best maintained around 0°C to +5°C. Avoid setting
the thermostat too high otherwise this may reduce the temperature to a point where certain
fresh foods may begin to freeze.
Energy Saving Tips
• Install the appliance in a fresh and well ventilated room. Ensure that the appliance is not in
direct sunlight and do not place near to heat sources.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently in
order to save energy.
• Use the fridge on the highest temperature setting that is safe to do so.
• Do not fill the appliance with too much food: cold air must be able to circulate freely for
food to be preserved properly.
• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The internal temperature will increase
and force the compressor to work harder and will consume more energy.
