INSTALLATION Location When selecting a position for your unit you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 16°C and 43°C. Avoid locating your unit near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight as it may increase the electrical consumption.

INSTALLATION 4. Remove the lower screws and lower hinge from the unit bottom. Reverse the lower hinge, move and secure it with the lower screws to the opposite side of the unit bottom. Carefully set the lower door back into place, inserting it onto the lower hinge.
INSTALLATION Cleaning Before Use Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda. Then rinse with warm water using a sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves, drawers and salad bin. Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth. If you require more information refer to the Cleaning section.
Operation Switching On Your Unit • Connect the mains cable to the mains socket. • The internal temperature of your fridge compartment is controlled by the Fridge Thermostat Control while the internal temperature of the freezer compartment is controlled by the Freezer Control (located behind the Salad Bin).
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.
Preparations for Freezing • Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. Freeze food in small quantities as it freezes faster, takes less time to defrost and enables you to control the quantity you need better. • Leave cooked food to cool completely. Chill food before freezing if possible. • Consider how you will want to cook the food before freezing it.
Cleaning Defrosting The freezer compartment of this unit is frost-free. With proper use, there should not be any frost accumulated. However, in case of improper use of the freezer compartment, frost might build up in the freezer compartment after the unit has been used for a period of time. Scrape away the frost using a plastic scraper (not included).
Maintenance Changing the Internal Light The internal light is an LED light. It cannot be changed by the user; please contact your service agent. Care When Handling / Moving the Unit Hold the unit around its sides or base when moving it. Servicing The unit should be serviced by an authorised engineer and only genuine spare parts should be used.
