5. When the door is open the
fridge interior light will come on.
6. You will hear a noise as the
compressor starts up. The liquid and
gases sealed within the refrigeration
system may also give rise to noise,
whether the compressor is running
or not which is quite normal.“Due
to operation of the fan inside the
frost free freezer compartment,
overall noise level is slightly higher
in comparison to non-frost free
appliances. This is quite normal and is
not a fault.”
7. Set the setting knob half way
between min and max.
8. Front edges of the cabinet may
feel warm. This is normal. These areas
are designed to be warm to avoid
condensation.
9. “Do not load the appliance
immediately it is switched on. Wait
until the correct storage temperature
has been reached. We recommend
that you check the temperature
with an accurate thermometer
(see; Temperature Control and
Adjustment)”
10. Since hot and humid air will not
directly penetrate into your product
when the doors are not opened,
your product will optimize itself in
conditions sufficient to protect your
food. Functions and components such
as compressor, fan, heater, defrost,
lighting, display and so on will operate
according to the needs to consume
minimum energy under these
circumstances.

Temperature Control And
Adjustment
The operating temperature is
regulated by the temperature control.
Warm Cold
1 2 3 4 5
(Or) Min. Max.
1=Lowest cooling setting
(Warmest setting).
5=Highest cooling setting
(Coldest setting).
The average temperature inside the
fridge should be around +5°C.
Please choose the setting according
to the desired temperature.
Please note that there will be
different temperatures in the cooling
area.
The coldest region is immediately
above the vegetable compartment.
The interior temperature also
depends on ambient temperature,
the frequency with which the door is
opened and the amount of foods kept
inside.
Frequently opening the door causes
the interior temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended
to close the door again as soon as
possible after use.
Thermostat setting button
The interior temperature of your
refrigerator changes for the following
reasons;
Seasonal temperatures,
Frequent opening of the door and
leaving the door open for long
periods,
Food put into the refrigerator
without cooling down to the room
temperature,
The location of the refrigerator in
the room (e.g. exposing to sunlight).
You may adjust the varying interior
temperature due to such reasons
by using the thermostat. Numbers
around the thermostat button
indicates the cooling degrees.
If the ambient temperature is higher
than 25°C, turn the thermostat
button to maximum position.
If the ambient temperature is lower
than 25°C, turn the thermostat
button to minimum position.

Storing Frozen Food
Prepacked commercially frozen
food should be stored in accordance
with the frozen food manufacturer’s
instructions for a frozen food
storage compartment.
To ensure that the high quality
achieved by the frozen food
manufacturer and the food retailer is
maintained, the following should be
remembered:
1. Put packets in the freezer as
quickly as possible after purchase.
2. Ensure that contents are labelled
and dated.
3. Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best
Before” dates on the packaging. If
there is a power failure do not open
the door. Frozen food should not be
affected if the failure lasts for less
than 21 hrs. If the failure is longer,
then the food should be checked and
either eaten immediately or cooked
and then re-frozen.
Freezing Fresh Food
Please observe the following
instructions to obtain the best results.
Do not freeze too large a quantity at
any one time. The quality of the food
is best preserved when it is frozen
right through to the core as quickly as
possible.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity
of your appliance in 24 h which is 5 kg
Placing warm food into the freezer
compartment causes the refrigeration
compressor to operate continuously
until the food is frozen solid. This can
temporarily lead to excessive cooling
of the refrigeration compartment.
When freezing fresh food turn the
control toward MAX. Small quantities
of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be
frozen without having to rotate the
temperature control.
Install in room -15C to +32C .
You may place fresh food to be frozen
in any part of the freezer.
Take special care not to mix already
frozen food and fresh food.
Making Ice Cubes
Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with
water and place it in the Ice Bank.
Loosen frozen trays with the handle
of a spoon, never use sharp edged
objects such as knives, forks. Store
ice-cubes in the Ice Bank.
Note: If freshly made ice cubes are
not consumed for several weeks
and stored in Ice Bank, they will
slowly reduce in size and eventually
disappear completely.
Defrosting
A) Fridge Compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts
automatically. The defrosting water
runs to the drain tube via a collection
container at the back of the appliance
(1). (see diagram) During defrosting
water droplets may form at the back
of the fridge compartment where
concealed evaporator is located.
Some droplets may remain on the
liner and refreeze when defrosting is
completed. Do not allow items in the
fridge to touch the back wall as the
water droplets will make them wet.
Do not use pointed or sharp edged
objects such as knives, forks to remove
the droplets which have frozen.
EN
16
If at any time the defrost water does
not drain from the collection channel,
check to ensure that no food particles
have blocked the drain tube. The drain
tube can be cleared by pushing the
special plastic plunger provided down
the drain tube (2). If the frost layer
reaches about 1/4”(7 mm), reduce
the setting (i.e. from 4 to 1) to restart
automatic defrosting.
12
B) Freezer Compartment
The freezer compartment defrosts
automatically.
Warnings!
The fan inside the freezer
compartment circulates cold air.
Never insert any object through the
guard. Do not allow children to play
with the freezer fan.
Never store products that contain
inflammable propellant gas (eg
dispensers, spray cans etc.) or
explosive substances.
Don’t cover the shelves with any
protective materials, which may
obstruct air circulation.
Do not allow children to play with
the appliance or tamper with the
controls.
Maximum frozen food storage
volume is achieved without using
the drawers and the upper shelf
cover provided in the freezer
compartment. Energy consumption
of your appliance is declared while
the freezer compartment is fully
loaded on shelves without the use
of the drawers and upper shelf
cover. Use the given wire shelf at the
bottom of the freezer compartment
for a better energy consumption
performance.
It is recommended that you place
foodstuffs on top shelf of freezer for
initial freezing.

6 Maintenance and cleaning
We recommend that you switch off
the appliance at the socket outlet
and pull out the mains plug before
cleaning.
Never use any sharp abrasive
instrument, soap, household
cleaner, detergent and wax polish
for cleaning.
Use luke warm water to clean the
cabinet of the appliance and wipe it
dry.
Use a damp cloth wrung out in
a solution of one teaspoon of
bicarbonate of soda to one pint of
water to clean the interior and wipe
it dry.
Make sure that no water enters the
lamp housing.
If the appliance is not going to be
used for a long period of time switch
it off, remove all food, clean it and
leave the door ajar.
Any dust that gathers on the
condenser, which is located at the
back of the appliance, should be
removed once a year with a vacuum
cleaner.
Check door seals regularly to ensure
they are clean and free from food
particles.
Removal of door tray
To remove door racks, remove all the
contents and then simply push the
door rack upwards from the base.
To remove a freezer drawer, pull
it as far as possible, and then tilt
it upwards, and then pull it out
completely.
To remove the freezer flap door, first
open the door 3” and then gently
pull it off. Make sure that the flap is
in place before closing the freezer
door.
Make sure that the special plastic
container (drain tray) at the back of
the appliance which collects defrost
water is clean at all times. If you
want to remove the tray to clean it
follow the instructions below :
Switch off at the socket outlet and
pull out the mains plug.
Push the lug down with the tip of
a screw driver & pull out with a jerk
movement
Clean the drain tray and wipe it dry.
Reassemble reversing the sequence
and operations.
Avoid spillage of food particularly
small items like rice, peas, beans
through the fan guard as they
may cause the cooling system to
block and therefore operate less
efficiently.
ANever use cleaning agents or
water that contain chlorine to clean
the outer surfaces and chromium
coated parts of the product. Chlorine
causes corrosion on such metal
surfaces.
