the leads, pipes or condenser unit. Should these parts  
become damaged, contact a qualified service engineer.  
Before you start  
Before you plug the appliance into the mains, clean  
the inside of the appliance using warm water and  
bicarbonate of soda, then dry thoroughly.  
Effervescent liquids (fizzy drinks) should never be  
frozen. These liquids expand during freezing and  
this may lead to the bottles/containers shattering or  
exploding.  
Please leave the appliance to stand for at least six hours.  
This will allow the cooling system to settle following  
transportation.  
Foods that are intended to be defrosted or cooked first  
e.g. breads, meats etc., must not be eaten in their frozen  
state.  
Check that no parts of the appliance are damaged,  
especially parts of the cooling system, pipes or leads.  
If damage has occurred, DO NOT install the appliance,  
you should contact a qualified service engineer or

milk etc, separate from stronger smelling food.  
Appliance Layout  
Shelves  
Number of shelves supplied; 4 in the fridge, 3 in the freezer.  
Salad / vegetable drawer (Upper Crisper)  
The upper drawer inside the refrigerator is used for storing fresh  
fruit and vegetables that require careful cooling.  
The shelves will not pull out accidentally when you remove  
foodstuff from the appliance.  
Foods that are likely to perish quickly should be placed  
towards the rear of the appliance – where it is coolest.  
Meat drawer (Lower Crisper)  
The lowest drawer inside the refrigerator can be used to store  
fresh meat in a way, which will avoid cross contamination with  
other fresh foods.  
Bottle holder  
The bottle holder is intended for storing larger bottles (soft  
drinks, water etc.) inside the fridge.  
The lights  
The interior lights come on when the door is opened. The  
performance of the light is not affected by any of the appliances  
other settings. Should the light fail to work, it is most likely that  
the bulb needs replacing (see P16, Changing the Light bulb).  
Like the shelves, the bottle holder will not pull out  
accidentally and can be removed by holding the front edge  
of the holder and tapping the underside upwards, until the  
holder disengages from the 2 locations.

contact your local authority for details on recycling centres in  
your area.  
WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit  
when installing or cleaning.  
WARNING: Do not use any kind of mechanical device  
in any compartments of this appliance unless they  
All old electrical goods must be disposed of correctly. You  
should never dispose of them with household waste. Local  
councils / authorities can advise you as to what services they  
provide for the disposal of old products – please be sure that  
you contact them in order to dispose of all old appliances.  
are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.  
WARNING: Do not use any electrical devices to  
defrost this appliance unless they are a type  
recommended by the manufacturer.  
Once the appliance has been installed and is connected  
to the power supply the appliance will begin to work  
automatically. You can adjust the settings of the appliance to  
suit your requirements.  
Many of the components in this appliance can be recycled.  
Energy Saving Tips  
Energy saving is especially important with cooling products.  
Once the temperature required inside the appliance has been  
reached, you should begin to load it with food. We would  
recommend that you do this all in one go to prevent repeated  
opening and closing of the door. See ‘Setting and Adjusting  
the Temperaturefor more information.  
Check regularly that your appliance is well ventilated.  
Poor air circulation around the appliance can lead to  
inefficient operation.  
Whenever possible adjust the thermostat to reflect  
seasonal changes, and changes in the quantity of food  
stored inside.  
Note: The time required to reach the desired temperature will  
vary, depending on the setting chosen, the amount of food  
and the ambient temperature.  
Freshly cooked foods, which are to be frozen, should be  
cooled to at least room temperature before freezing.  
Layers of ice and frost increase energy consumption  
– make sure that your appliance is free of heavy frost  
and ice.  
Temperature selection  
Higher settings on the thermostat (towards 5) mean lower  
(colder) temperatures within the appliance (see the guide  
below).  
Should the door seal become dirty or damaged,  
please clean or replace it. A poorly working door seal is  
detrimental to the performance of the appliance.  
Under certain conditions (Highest setting and low ambient  
temperature), the temperature inside the refrigerator can  
drop below 0°C.  
The vents at the rear of the appliance should always  
be clear/cleaned of dust and obstruction. Regularly  
checking, and cleaning if need be, should help to keep  
the appliance running effectively.  
It is recommended that when the ambient temperature is  
normal you set the thermostat to a medium setting.  
Use the highest setting only when required or recommended.  
Ensure that the appliance is installed in accordance with the  
instructions given in this handbook – Failure to do so could  
invalidate your warranty, resulting in service charges being  
incurred, should you need an engineer.  
Note: Temperatures within the appliance can be affected by  
frequent opening of the door. Always try to keep the length  
of time the door is open to a minimum.

6. Storing and Freezing  
Storing fresh foods  
Freezing fresh foods  
As with storing fresh foods, suitable packaging, correct  
temperature and food hygiene will enhance the quality of the  
food you are freezing.  
Packaging fresh foods properly, using the correct  
temperature and taking into account food hygiene will  
enhance the quality of fresh foods stored within this  
appliance.  
Make sure that all foods for freezing are of a high quality, and  
suitable for freezing.  
Use plastic bags, aluminium foil or other food wraps to cover  
fresh foods not in packaging to prevent flavour transfer and  
prevent contamination.  
Use suitable packaging (plastic bags etc.) to store food in, and  
make sure that it is air tight or well sealed. Leaking packaging  
will dehydrate the products and lead to loss of beneficial  
vitamins.  
Make sure that foods, which have been cooked and require  
chilling, are at room temperature before placing them into  
the appliance. Make sure that these foods are stored in  
suitable containers.  
Mark packages with the kind of food contained and the date  
of storage.  
Before storing items in multi packs (i.e. yoghurt) remove any  
excess packaging.  
Food needs to be frozen quickly, so it is best to freeze small  
portions whenever possible and ensure that they are as cold  
as possible before storage. The recommended maximum  
weight for each portion is 2.5kg.  
Make sure that foodstuffs are stored systematically (raw  
meats with raw meats, dairy with dairy) to avoid flavour  
transfer and cross contamination. Raw meats should be  
stored towards the bottom of the appliance to prevent the  
possibility of it dripping onto uncooked food. Other foods  
should be stored above raw meat.  
Keep food which is fresh away from food which is already  
frozen, if you need to freeze fresh food every day, make sure  
that it is in small portions to prevent this.  
Do not exceed the maximum load for freezing – which is  
given as 10kg / 24H - see data badge for details.  
Never store anything, which is flammable, volatile or  
explosive inside the appliance.  
Beverages with high alcohol content should be stored  
vertically in tightly sealed bottles.  
Foods should not touch the rear wall of the appliance.  
Delicate foods should be stored in the coolest part of the  
appliance.  
Try not to open the door too often.  
Set the thermostat to make sure that foods remain suitably  
cold, try to avoid freezing within the fridge. Using a  
thermometer will help you to judge how cool the appliance  
is. Place it into a glass of water and leave it inside the  
appliance for several hours to get a reliable reading.  
Some foods contain natural oils and acids (e.g. citric acid)  
which can damage plastics if spilled – make sure these foods  
are suitably contained.  
Unpleasant odours inside the fridge are a sign that something  
has spilled and cleaning is required. Using warm water with  
bicarbonate of soda will clean the interior of the appliance  
and remove most spillages. (See cleaning your appliance).  
Always remember to remove perishable foods from this  
appliance before taking prolonged trips of holidays.

it freezes quickly helping to preserve freshness and maintain  
Always follow manufacturers’ guidelines for the  
length of time you should store food for. Do not  
exceed these guidelines!  
the level of nutrients in foods which can be lost through  
freezing.  
Try to keep the length of time between purchase and  
storage as short as possible to preserve food quality.  
Buy frozen foods, which have been stored at a  
temperature of –18°C or below.  
Avoid buying food which has ice or frost on the  
packaging – This indicates that the products might have  
been partially defrosted and re-frozen at some point  
– Temperature rises affect the quality of food.  
When consuming ice cream or water ices allow them to  
warm a little first to prevent freezer burns on hands or  
tongue.  
Should there be a power cut, or the freezer /  
refrigeration appliance fail for any length of time you  
may need to remove food from the freezer and store in  
a cold, hygienic place (i.e. garage or outhouse area) until  
the power is restored, or the appliance is repaired.  
It is also advisable to use this function before you clean the  
appliance interior to ensure that foods are as frozen as possible.  
To prevent undue temperature rises; you should wrap the  
foods in layers of insulating material, such as newspaper,  
to help to maintain their temperature. It is also important  
that any food affected by this situation should be either  
consumed or cooked and re-frozen (where suitable) soon  
afterwards in order to prevent health risks.  
Layers of newspaper can also be used to help keep foods  
cold while you are defrosting the freezer (see cleaning your  
appliance).

7. Storage Areas  
High humidity will keep foods such as grapes, cucumbers,  
kiwi etc. fresh and crisp – this is achieved by opening fewer  
holes in the moisture control.  
About your Freezer Compartment  
As with the refrigerator, certain areas of the freezer are better  
for storage of certain foods.  
Lower humidity is ideal for storing foods such as strawberries,  
melons, tomatoes and beans. Opening more holes in the  
moisture control will lower the humidity accordingly.  
Ice creams and water ices are best stored towards the rear of  
the appliance where it is coldest.  
Large / heavier portions of food, such as meats joints for  
roasting are best stored in the drawers at the bottom of the  
appliance, while less weighty items should be stored on the  
shelves – this is to prevent damage to the appliance.  
Always make sure that the front edge of the crisper  
compartment is underneath the crisper cover. When  
removing the crisper, remove the compartment first before  
the cover.  
You should always make sure that food stored is suitable  
for freezing, and that you have stored it securely inside the  
appliance.  
To remove the cover of the crisper (for cleaning etc.) remove  
the drawer first. Lift the food shelf in an upward direction at  
the rear (1) and pull it towards you (2). Then turn the shelf into  
position (3). You must have the appliance door open by 90°.  
Defrosting food for cooking  
Should food become partially thawed, or defrosted it should  
be consumed as soon as possible as the quality will be  
affected by defrosting.  
Always make sure that food is thoroughly defrosted  
1
before cooking and no ice crystals remain. This  
is especially important for poultry, as this can be  
extremely harmful to health.  
Always follow the defrosting instructions on packaging  
when defrosting ready meals – manufacturers’  
guidelines are always best, as some frozen foods should  
be cooked from frozen.

8. Using the Icemaker & Water Dispenser  
prolonged break. Discard these cubes.  
Before using the Icemaker/Water  
Dispenser  
To ensure that the ice cube tray is filled to maximum capacity,  
you will need to manually arrange the ice cubes periodically.  
Water supply installation  
Pressure of the cold water supplied to the automatic icemaker is  
between 1.5 - 8.5 bar.  
Some ice cubes may stick together when dropped into the  
storage box – you will need to separate these to ensure  
maximum use of the icebox.  
Installation instructions for the connection kit (to a  
drinking water supply) are found inside the fridge.  
First use of the icemaker / water dispenser  
Do not consume the first seven (approx) glasses  
of water, as there may be dust and / or impurities  
within the water pipes.  
Caution: Only an authorised person should install  
the water pipes and filter.  
The water tube should be of an appropriate length  
- usually 12 metres - and should be free of bends  
after being inserted into place. If the tube is too long  
then pressure will be reduced, therefore reducing the  
capacity of ice making.  
This will ensure that the pipes are cleared. If in doubt, keep  
re-using the dispenser until the water runs clear.  
Noises during ice making  
The ice making process can be noisy. You may hear ice being  
dropped into the storage compartment. This is perfectly  
normal.  
Always use potable / drinking water.  
Keep the water tube clear of heat sources.  
The water tube should be installed and tested by  
authorised personnel.  
Storing ice for extended periods  
Ice, which is stored for a long period of time, may go an  
opaque colour and have a strange odour. We recommend  
that you dispose of this ice, remove and clean the icebox.  
Allow the tray to dry thoroughly and cool down before  
replacing into the appliance to prevent ice from sticking.  
When used for the first time, press and hold the cold-  
water button for one minute to prime the water supply.  
Do not press the cold-water button for any longer as  
this may cause the valve to heat up.  
Precautions  
Preventing ice from being made  
Never expose the water pipe to temperatures below 0°C  
to avoid freezing.  
If you do not require any ice over a prolonged period of time  
(i.e. during winter) you can switch off the valve between the  
water supply and the appliance. It is recommended that you  
clean the icebox, dry it carefully and replace it back into the  
appliance – this will prevent any odours being produced.  
Test the tubing for leaks by flushing the tube through  
with water, until the water runs clear.  
After the appliance has been sited into the location of  
your choice, make sure that the water tube is arranged  
so it does not incur damage through bends and kinks  
and is clear of any heat sources.  
Installing and removing the ice cube storage  
tray  
To remove the icebox, press the top of the drawer and  
simultaneously pull the bottom, releasing the unit.  
A qualified appliance installer must install this  
appliance.  
Once the temperature inside the freezer is at -15°C ice  
production will begin.  
Do not over use the icemaker. If you attempt to use the  
ice cube button too often it will go into a shut down  
mode. This is perfectly normal and requires you to wait  
for one hour before attempting to re-use it.  
Do not use delicate or fragile glassware.  
Do not touch the ice cube outlet with your hands, or  
any implements to avoid injury or damage.  
How the icemaker works  
In every cycle 8 ice cubes are produced.  
Capacity of the icemaker depends on the freezer  
temperature, the ambient temperature of the environment  
around the appliance and how often the freezer door is  
opened.  
Do not store ice cubes, which are produced during the  
first batch of cubes following appliance start up, or after a  
11  
 
If the icebox cannot be easily fitted, remove it and turn the  
corkscrew mechanism 90°. Then reinstall the icebox, ensuring  
that the catch pin on the tray fits into the slot on the shelf.  
Ice cubes  
If the ice maker does not work properly

3.  
Hold the glass to the dispenser.  
Press the button for ice cubes.  
The volume of the icebox equals the quantity of ice cubes,  
which the appliance can make in one day. Occasionally small  
number of ice cubes may remain inside the box. If the ice  
gets stuck, this will result in abnormal operation of the ice  
cube maker. To avoid this problem, remove the icebox and  
rearrange the ice cubes, and remove ice cubes, which cannot  
be separated.  
Slightly push the glass onto the lever switch and the ice  
cubes will be dispensed into the glass.  
Cool water supply  
Always keep the ice cube outlet clean and clear of  
obstructions.  
Operating the Icemaker & water  
dispenser  
There are three options available with this accessory  
– crushed ice, cool water or ice cubes. Always make sure that  
you hold your glass up to the dispenser before making your  
selection to avoid spillages.

Slightly push the glass onto the lever switch and the  
cool water will be supplied.  
Notes  
When crushed ice is supplied;  
Some times you may receive crushed ice when you  
have selected ice cubes as there may be crushed ice  
remaining in the crushing mechanism. This is normal.  
Try again until you receive ice cubes.  
If crushed ice is supplied frequently, you may notice a  
build up of ice around the front of the icebox. This will  
defrost automatically and is not a problem.  
When cool water is supplied;  
Following installation, cool water may not be available  
immediately. This is due to air in the pipes. Press the  
cool water supply button until water is dispensed to  
clear the air. This can take up to two minutes.  
12  
 
The water supply will become cooler and cooler  
gradually.  
In the event of a power cut  
Should there be a prolonged power cut you may need to  
remove food from the freezer compartment and store it in  
a cold place, wrapped in layers of newspaper to preserve  
suitable temperatures.  
Cool water does not contain ice – this should be added  
before the water.  
Safety  
In the event of a power cut, food should remain safely  
cold for 3 hours approx.  
Do not use excessively deep, narrow, fragile or  
delicate glasses.  
Once power is restored – replace the food back into the  
freezer compartment.  
Hold the glass as close as possible to dispenser to avoid  
spilling water, dropping ice or blockages in the ice cube  
dispenser.  
Should food begin to defrost, or the power cut last longer  
than expected, it is advised that you consume any food  
removed from the freezer.  
Five seconds after the final delivery of ice or water,  
the dispenser flap will close with a ‘phuttsound. Hold  
the glass still for a further 2 – 3 seconds (for ice), 1 - 2  
seconds (for water) after you have filled your glass and  
released the lever switch as additional water or ice may  
be produced.  
If the power outage is short term, most foods can be left  
inside the freezer compartment – this is the best way of  
preserving temperature – and surrounded by ice cubes from  
the icebox. This is also an ideal solution for power outages  
you may have been pre warned about.  
Regularly clean the dispenser.  
When experiencing a power cut of any kind, do not add any  
extra foods to the freezer.  
Crushed ice may be dispensed instead of cubed ice if  
crushed ice was the last option selected.  
Never place canned drinks or foods inside the  
dispenser, as this will damage the crushing  
mechanism.  
Do not touch the dispenser, or remove the icemaker  
cover to prevent accidental injury or damage to the  
appliance.  
First supply of water (seven glass approx) and ice cubes  
(20 pieces approx) should not be consumed after initial  
start up or following a lengthy break in use. Dispose of  
these accordingly.  
Do not place ice cubes, which have not been produced  
by the icemaker into the storage drawer to prevent  
damage to the mechanism.  
Insufficient water supply may lead to small ice cubes.  
Excessive water supply may lead to larger cubes, which  
may stick together, cause leaks and block the dispenser.  
You should adjust the tap or contact a service engineer.  
Automatic defrosting  
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator as this appliance  
has automatic defrost.  
Do not use mechanical devices to accelerate the  
defrosting process – unless they are of a type  
recommended by the manufacturer.

9. Maintenance and Cleaning  
Cleaning the inside of your appliance  
Checking the water quality  
Periodically, the water dispenser display will change colour  
from blue to red as a warning to check the water quality.  
Always disconnect the electricity supply before you  
start cleaning.  
Empty the appliance of food and remove the shelves.  
To maintain water quality, the filter will need replacing from  
time to time. We recommend that the water filter is replaced  
every 2 years. However, if the water quality show signs of  
deterioration, either visually or in taste, then the filter should  
be changed sooner.  
The interior can be cleaned using warm water and  
bicarbonate of soda, with a soft cloth. Make sure that  
the interior is then dried carefully with a suitable cloth.  
Do not use harsh abrasives, or aggressive cleaners as  
these can damage the interior of the appliance.  
Shelves and other accessories (plastic and glass parts)  
can be cleaned in the sink using liquid dish washing  
liquid and warm water. Make sure all soap is rinsed off  
and all parts are dry before replacing them inside the  
appliance.  
Always keep the door seals clean.  
Removing the shelves/Salad/vegetable  
crisper cover  
Lift the food shelf in an upward direction at the rear  
(1) and pull it towards you (2). Then turn the shelf into  
position (3). You must have the appliance door open by  
at least 90°.  
To reset the display, press and hold drinks dispenser button  
for 5 seconds. The warning will deactivate and the display  
light will return to blue.  
When not in use  
If you are not using the appliance for an extended length  
of time, it is recommended that you switch of the electrical  
supply, empty any food out, clean the inside of the appliance  
and leave the door ajar. This will save energy, and also prevent  
a build up of stale odours inside.  
To remove the crisper cover, remove the crisper drawer  
first and then follow the above directions.  
Do not wash plastic parts in a dishwasher.  
Clean the exterior of the appliance with a soft cloth and an  
alcohol based cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaners on the  
exterior of the appliance.  
The vents at the rear of the appliance should be cleaned  
periodically using a soft bristled brush or the brush  
attachment of a vacuum cleaner.  
Once cleaning is completed, reconnect the electricity supply  
and replace the food.

10. Troubleshooting  
The appliance fails to work when first connected to the  
electricity supply  
The appliance is making noises  
The appliance is cooled by the compressor, which will  
make a certain amount of noise when the appliance is  
switched on. The amount of noise depends on the age  
of the appliance (older appliances may become noisier),  
the positioning of the appliance (a levelled appliance is  
less noisy) and how the appliance is used.  
Check there are no faults with the socket you are using  
by plugging in an appliance you know to be working.  
Make sure that you have switched the appliance ‘on.  
The voltage may be incorrect.  
During use, you may hear the sound of the refrigerant  
being circulated, and the sound of it flowing when  
the compressor is off. The sound of the compressor  
itself, which is a humming sound and a click when the  
compressor switches off and on.  
The appliance seems to be continually running  
The appliance will make a sound when first started; this  
will gradually fade over a period of time.  
The door has been opened frequently.  
The door isn’t properly closed because the seals need  
cleaning, or are damaged.  
When you are starting the appliance for the first time,  
or have had the appliance switched off for a prolonged  
length of time, the sounds described above may be  
louder.  
The door is damaged – leading to it dropping out of  
correct alignment with the appliance.  
You may hear hissing or gurgling noises from the  
appliance – these are due to the automatic defrosting  
process.  
The appliance has recently been filled with more food  
than usual.  
Ventilation is compromised – the vent requires cleaning  
or clearing from obstruction.  
Piping and the evaporator may also make noises should  
the ambient temperature around the appliance change.  
There is inadequate ventilation around the appliance  
– other appliances or units are too close. The appliance  
has been overloaded with food for chilling or freezing.  
If noises seem to be too loud, or a little unusual it  
is more than likely because the appliance requires  
levelling, or it is touching a unit.  
The ‘Quick Freezefunction has been switched on.  
Flashing indicator bar  
The outer casing of the appliance is warm  
In the unlikely event of a flashing indicator bar occuring,  
please contact your service provider.  
The appliance may become warm on the outside when  
first switched on to prevent condensation forming.  
The lamp does not work  
The appliance is not plugged into the wall socket / a  
fuse has blown.  
The bulb requires replacing.  
The temperature inside the appliance is not right  
The door has not been closed properly.  
The appliance is too close to a heat source, or in direct  
sunlight.  
The vents at the rear are blocked / obstructed.
