Packaging which is swollen or has traces of  
refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate  
that the product has not been kept at a suitable  
temperature and that it may have lost its original  
quality.  
Storage Shelf  
The sorage shelf has a foldable section on the left  
hand side which can be raised to enable the storage  
of large bottles.  
Partially thawed food must not be refrozen, it must  
be consumed within 24 hours.  
The Ice-making Compartment  
Never exceed the storage times indicated.  
Do not open the ice-making compartment door too  
often and do not leave open longer than necessary.  
This compartment is suitable for the storage of  
commercially frozen food and for making and storing  
ice cubes.  
Important  
Hints & Tips  
Food Storage  
In the event of a power cut the food in the ice-  
making compartment will not be affected if the  
power cut is short and if the compartment is full. Do  
not open the door. Should the food begin to thaw,  
it must be consumed quickly and must not be  
refrozen.  
To obtain the best results from your appliance  
neither hot foods nor liquids which may evaporate,  
should be placed in the refrigerator.  
Keep the time between buying chilled food and  
placing it in your fridge as short as possible.  
Energy Saving Advice  
Do not push food together too much, try to allow air  
to circulate around each item.  
Do not install the cabinet close to sources of  
heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator.  
Do not store food uncovered.  
Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated  
room and make sure that the air openings of the  
cabinet are not obstructed.  
Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and  
clean, refer to Cleaning and Maintenance.  
Always leave warm food to cool down to room  
temperature before placing in the fridge.  
Frozen food storage  
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long  
periods, or opening the door too frequently as  
warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the  
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.  
Storing ready-frozen foods is quite straightforward.  
The packs can be placed beside each other or on top  
of each other.  
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the  
door from closing properly.  
You are strongly advised to place ready-frozen food in  
the compartment as quickly as possible after  
purchase and we therefore recommend that you buy  
them last. Also ensure that the external packaging is  
intact.  
It is advisable to periodically clean the  
refrigeration system at the back of the appliance  
with a duster or vacuum cleaner.  
Maintenance & Cleaning  
Before any maintenance of cleaning work is  
carried out DISCONNECT the appliance from  
the ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.  
Internal Cleaning  
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water  
and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).  
Rinse and dry thoroughly.

This frost, acts as an insulator and prevents the  
cold from reaching the insulator food. The frost  
should be removed whenever the thickness of the  
frost exceeds 1/4”. To carry out complete  
defrosting proceed as follows.  
NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders,  
highly perfumed cleaning products or wax  
polishes to clean the interior as these will  
damage the surface and leave a strong  
odour.  
Pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the  
thermostat control knob to the '0' position.  
External Cleaning  
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.  
Leave the fridge and ice-making compartment  
doors open, when defrosting is completed, dry the  
appliance thoroughly. Remove any defrost water  
collected in the tray.  
When the appliance is not in use  
Replace the plug in the socket or return the  
thermostat to the initial position and, after letting  
the appliance run for at least an hour, place the  
food in the evaporator compartment.  
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,  
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods  
and clean the appliance, leaving the door open to  
prevent unpleasant smells.  
Defrosting  
While the appliance is in operation the ice-making  
compartment becomes progressively covered with  
frost.
