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. Replacing the light bulb 22 WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE THE LIGHT BULB. o There is an interior light ne xt to the thermostat dial. 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.

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 .

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. 1) Screw covers 2) Screws 3) Handle 4) The door 25
o Finally, refit the screw covers. 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. 27
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.
