    							Defrosting the  freezer section 
     
    The frost in the freezer section sh ould be removed periodically. You 
    can use a plastic scraper to keep down  the amount of frost that builds. 
     
    IMPORTANT:  The freezer section should be  defrosted at least twice a 
    year. The number of times that you n eed to defrost it, will depend on 
    the setting of your thermostat and how much food you freeze and 
    store in the compartment. 
      o The day before you defrost, turn  the thermostat dial to position 
    , this will make sure that  the food contained in the 
    compartment is frozen properly. 
      o Whilst defrosting the appliance,  the food should be removed 
    from the compartment and wrappe d in several layers of paper 
    and stored in a cool place. The foods rise in temperature will 
    shorten its storage life and therefore the food should be used 
    within a relatively short period of time. 
      o DO NOT PLACE FOOD BACK IN THE FREEZER SECTION 
    THAT HAS STARTED TO THAW.  
      o Set the thermostat knob to position  and disconnect the 
    appliance from your mains supply. 
      o Remove the drawers from the freez er section and leave the door 
    to the freezer compartment open.  You can place a bowl of warm 
    water inside the freezer compartment to speed up the defrost 
    process. 
      o You can use a sponge to mop up the defrost water that will run 
    into the bottom of the freezer section. 
      o IMPORTANT:  You should place some old towels on the flooring 
    that is immediately in front of th e appliance. In case any defrost 
    water comes out of the freezer  section and onto the floor. 
      o Once all the ice that has built up has melted, then the inside of 
    the freezer section should be drie d thoroughly. Failure to do this 
    will result in immediate ice build when the appliance is turned 
    back on. 
      o With dry hands, reconnect your  appliance to your mains supply. 
    Set the thermostat knob to posi tion  for a 24 hour period, 
    before returning it to the normal setting of . 
       
      21
     
    						
    							o You should not attempt to freeze  fresh food inside the freezer 
    section until this 24 hour time period has elapsed. 
      o Do not defrost the appliance wi th other electrical devices 
    (e.g. hair dryer). Do not use sharp metal objects to 
    remove the ice on the freezer,  as this could cause damage 
    to the refrigerant system.

    o  Press the hooks on the sides of the light cover and slide the 
    cover off. 
      o Change the present light bulb wi th a new one. The replacement 
    bulb should not have a greater rating than 15 W. 
      o Replace the light cover and after waiting five minutes, reconnect 
    your plug to your mains supply. 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    						
    							Installation 
     IMPORTANT: Before installation and usage read 
    all the instructions an d make sure that the 
    voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on 
    the rating plate are ex actly the same as the 
    voltage and frequency in your home. The rating 
    plate can be found on the front left edge of the    
                inside of the fridge section. 
     
    The manufacturer declines all responsi bility in the event of the installer 
    failing to observe all the accident  prevention regulations in force, 
    which are necessary for normal use and the regular operation of the 
    electric system. 
     
    Electrical connection 
     
    YOUR FRIDGE FREEZER IS  INTENDED FOR FITTED AND 
    PERMANENT INSTALLATION.   
    We recommend that the app liance is connected by a 
    qualified electrician, who is  a member of the N.I.C.E.I.C. 
    and who will comply with the  I.E.E. and local regulations. 
     
     
    o  Your refrigerator comes supplied wi th a 13 amp plug fitted. If in 
    future you need to change the fu se in this plug, then a 13 amp 
    ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse  must be used. 
      o The wiring in the mains lead is coloured as follows: 
      Brown      Live 
    Blue       Neutral 
    Green and yellow   Earth 
     
    o As the colours of the wires in the appliance’s mains lead may not 
    correspond with the coloured ma rkings identifying the terminals 
    in your spur box, please proceed as follows: 
      The brown wire  must be connected to the terminal marked “L” 
    (live), or coloured  red. 
     
    The  blue wire  must be connected to the terminal marked “N” 
    (neutral), or coloured  black. 
     
    The  green and yellow wire  must be connected to the terminal 
    marked “E” (earth), or by th e earth symbol, or coloured green 
    and yellow . 
     
      23
     
    						
    							 24
    o 
    When the connection is completed,  no stray strands or cut wire 
    should be present. The cord cl amp must be secured over the 
    outer sheath. 
     
    Positioning 
      o It is advisable that your appliance is only installed in a location 
    where the ambient temperature of  the room, corresponds with 
    the climate classification that is st ated on the rating plate of your 
    appliance. Your appliance may  not function correctly if the 
    ambient temperature falls outs ide of the following ranges. 
     
    Climate classification
     Appropriate ambient temperature 
    SN  +10 to +32 degrees centigrade 
    N +16 to +32 degrees centigrade 
    ST  +18 to +38 degrees centigrade 
    T +18 to +43 degrees centigrade 
     
    o Positioning the appliance requires  two people in order to avoid 
    injuries or damage to the appliance. 
     
    o  The appliance should never be plac ed upside down or carried in a 
    horizontal position. 
     
    o  Your appliance should not be located in direct sunlight or 
    exposed to continuous heat or  extremes of temperature (e.g. 
    next to a radiator or boiler). If this is not possible, then you 
    should install an insulation pl ate between the appliance and the 
    adjacent heat source. 
      o You should check whether there is  an electrical socket available, 
    which will be accessible after your appliance is installed. 
      o Place the appliance flatly and firmly on a solid base. The 
    appliance is fitted with adjustable feet on the front side, which 
    can be used to level the appliance. 
      o Anything positioned above the a ppliance must be at least 10 cm 
    away to allow sufficient cooling of  the condenser. You must allow 
    a 5 cm gap to the rear and either side of the appliance. 
      o If you are placing another coolin g appliance next door to this 
    product, then there must be a gap of at least 2 cm between the 
    appliances. This will help to prev ent condensation from forming. 
      o Be sure to leave enough space  for the opening of the door, to 
    avoid damage to the appliance or personal injury.  
     
     
     
    						
    							Attaching the handle 
     o Take out the handle and screw co vers from the accessory bag in 
    the salad crisper drawer.  
      o Close the door and remove the screws or hole cover installed on 
    it. Both screws are on one side and the hole cover on the other. 
     
      
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    o  Fasten the handle  (3) with the self-tapping screws  (2) on the side 
    of the door  (4) where it is to be installed. Tighten them to fix the 
    handle firmly into the place.

    Reversing the doors 
     
     
    IMPORTANT: Make sure you  have enough room    
    to lean the appliance back at a 45° angle. Care 
    should be taken not to damage or break the 
    condenser coils on the rear of the fridge freezer.  
     
    THE APPLIANCE MUST BE DISC ONNECTED FROM THE POWER 
    SUPPLY BEFORE COMMENCING THE DOOR REVERSAL PROCESS. 
     
    CERTAIN SECTIONS OF THIS  PROCESS WILL REQUIRE TWO 
    PEOPLE TO COMPLETE IT. 
     
    WE RECOMMEND THAT THE DOOR S OF THE FRIDGE FREEZER 
    ARE REVERSED BEFORE YOU START TO USE THE APPLIANCE.   
       
    Any parts that you remove from the appliance whilst 
    reversing the doors, should  be retained for use later. 
     
     
     
     
    You will require a small sized flat screwdriver and medium 
    sized cross-headed screwdriv er to complete the door 
    reversal process. 
     
     
    The appliance will be supplied with an additional large 
    plastic hinge cover for the top of  the fridge door that must 
    be used during the door reversal process (at stage 20). 
     
     
    						
    							 
    When refitting hinges to the cabinet, you must ensure that 
    the screws are fully tightened. However it is important that 
    the screws are not over tightened. 
     
     
     1) Gently prise off the three plas tic screw covers from the top 
    cover, using a small flat-headed screwdriver. Then remove the 
    screws from the front and back of  the top cover, before taking it 
    off. 
     
    2)  Gently prise off the top hinge hole  cover and then refit it to the 
    opposite side of the top cover.

    							 28
    3)
     Gently prise off the plastic hinge  covers at the top of the fridge 
    door, using a small flat-headed screwdriver. One of the plastic 
    hinge covers is small; this one  will be reused later in the door 
    reversal process. A larger plas tic hinge cover will be supplied 
    with the appliance separately and this should be used instead of 
    the existing one.  
     
    4)  Remove the upper hinge using  a medium sized cross-headed 
    screwdriver. 
     
    5)  Carefully remove the fridge d oor from the middle hinge. The 
    door should be gently placed on  some form of padded surface, 
    so that damage is not caused to it.  
     
    6)  Remove the middle hinge door plug from the left hand side of 
    the fridge door. Remove the midd le hinge door stopper using a 
    medium sized cross-headed screwdri ver and then refit it onto the 
    opposite side of the fridge d oor. The middle hinge door plug 
    should also be refitted to the opposite side of the fridge door.  
     
    7)  Unscrew and remove the middle  hinge using a medium sized 
    cross-headed screw driver.   
     
    8)  Carefully remove the freezer d oor from the bottom hinge. The 
    door should be gently placed on  some form of padded surface, 
    so that damage is not caused to it.  
     
    9)  Remove the lower hinge door plug  from the left hand side of the 
    freezer door. Remove the lower hinge door stopper using a 
    medium sized cross-headed screwdri ver and then refit it onto the 
    opposite side of the freezer d oor. The lower hinge door plug 
    should also be refitted to the opposite side of the freezer door.  
     
    10) Gently lean the appliance backwards at a 45° angle  to allow the 
    lower hinge to be removed.  IMPORTANT: One person should lean 
    back the appliance and support it  whilst the lower hinge is being 
    removed (they should continue to su pport it in stages 11 and 12 as 
    well). 
      •  Care should be taken whilst leaning the appliance back, to 
    make sure that damage is not caused to your flooring. You 
    can rest the fridge freezer on its original packaging to protect 
    your flooring. 
      11) Unscrew and remove the lowe r hinge using a medium sized 
    cross-headed screwdriver. Then refit and tighten the screws that 
    you have just removed into the sa me holes (this step is shown in 
    the line drawing on the next page). 
     
     
    						
    							 
    12) Unscrew the two screws that are fitted to the lower hinge holes on 
    the left hand side of the cabinet.  Then fit the lower hinge to the left 
    hand side of the cabinet using the screws that you have just removed. 
     
    13) Carefully return the fridge freezer  back to its upright position. If 
    necessary adjust the two front feet to  make sure that the appliance is 
    level. 
     
    14) Locate and refit the freezer  door onto the lower hinge. 
    IMPORTANT:  You must ensure that th e hinge locates into the 
    relevant hole in the freezer door. 
     
    15) Remove the three small plugs from  the left hand side of the middle 
    section of the cabinet.  
     
    16) The middle hinge needs to be rotated through 180 degrees from 
    its original position, before being re fitted to the opposite side of the 
    cabinet. 
     
    17) Locate and refit the fridge  door onto the middle hinge. 
    IMPORTANT:  You must ensure that th e hinge locates into the 
    relevant hole in the fridge door. 
      29
     
    						
    							18) The upper hinge needs to be rotated through 180 degrees from its 
    original position, before being refitted to the opposite side of the 
    cabinet.  IMPORTANT:  You must ensure that the hinge locates into the 
    relevant hole in the fridge door. 
     
    19) Refit the top cover and then re tighten the screws at the front and 
    back of the top cover. 
     
    20) Re-fit the small plastic hinge cover that you removed in stage 3 
    and fit the larger plastic hinge cove r that was supplied separately with 
    the appliance, to the top of the fridge door.  
      IMPORTANT: Check that both the upper and lower 
    doors open and shut correct ly, without fouling, after 
    you have completed the door reversal process. 
     
     
     
    After the door has been reversed, you should check 
    the door seal of the fridge  and freezer door. Neither 
    seal should be creased or crushed; otherwise there 
    will be a gap between it an d the inside of the door. 
     
    o  The seal must adhere properly  all the way around the door. 
      o If either seal is not adhering  to the cabinet properly, then you 
    should either:- 
      1. Use a warm damp cloth and ma nipulate the seal until it does 
    adhere to the cabinet properly, all the way around the door. 
             
      or 
      2. Use a hair dryer on its lowest heat setting and lightly heat the areas of the door seal that  are not adhering correctly. The 
    heat will make the seal more p liable and this will allow you to 
    manipulate the seal into the correct position. 
     
    IMPORTANT: DO NOT HEAT THE  DOOR SEAL ON ANYTHING BUT 
    THE LOWEST HEAT SETTING, OR  HEAT THE SEAL FOR A LONG 
    PERIOD OF TIME. OTHERWISE DA MAGE MAY BE CAUSED TO 
    THE DOOR SEAL, WHICH WOULD NOT BE RECTIFIED UNDER 
    THE GUARANTEE FR EE OF CHARGE.
