							DEFROSTING
●It is necessary to regularly defrost your refrigerator in order to ensur\
e efficient operation.
The frost on the surface of the evaporator should not exceed a quarter o\
f an inch(6mm) before 
defrosting.
●T o defrost, turn the control to 0.
●Before you start the defrosting operation, remove food from the evaporat\
or and place the drip tray in its
proper position.
●When defrosting is completed, remove the drip tray , empty water, dry and put it back to its normal position.Turn the control dial to a desired position.

OPERA TION
STORING FOOD
●Store fresh food in the refrigerator . How food is frozen and thawed is an important factor in maintaining
its freshness and flavor .
●Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as ban\
anas, pineapples, and melons.
●Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrige\
rator could spoil other food, and lead
to higher electric bills!
●When storing, cover food with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a \
lid. This prevents moisture from
evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.
●Do not open the door frequently . Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator , causing
temperatures to rise.
●Do not store bottles on the evaporator - they may break when frozen.
●Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and\
 nutrition.
●Always clean food prior to refrigeration. V egetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed
food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD ST ORAGE 
CAUTION:Never use any sharp or metallic instruments to remove ice, frost or ice \
tray
from the evaporator .
 
						

							It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to
prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be
wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and 
stain plastic surfaces if allowed to settle.
Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse
abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on
any surface.
Before you clean, however , remember that damp
objects will stick or adhere to extremely cold
surfaces. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or
damp hands.
EXTERIOR -  Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap
or detergent to clean the durable finish of your
refrigerator . Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and
then dry . INTERIOR - 
Regular cleaning of the interior and
interior parts is recommended. Disconnect the
power supply , and remove food and shelves, trays
etc. W ash all compartment and shelves, trays etc.
with a baking soda solution. Rinse and dry .

CLEANING
WARNINGAlways remove power cord from the wall
outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of
electrical parts. Wipe up excess moisture with
a sponge or cloth to prevent water or liquid
from getting into any electrical part and
causing a electric shock. Do not use
flammable or toxic cleaning liquids.
GENERAL INFORMA TION
VACA TION TIME
During average length vacations, you will probably
find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation.
When you plan to be away for an extended period,
remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean
the interior thoroughly , and leave the door OPEN to
prevent odor formation.
POWER F AILURE
Most power failures are corrected in an hour or two
and will not af fect your refrigerator temperatures.
However , you should minimize the number of door
openings while the power is of f. During power
failures of longer duration, place a block of dry ice
on top of your frozen packages.
IF YOU MOVE
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items
inside the refrigerator .
T o avoid damaging the leveling screw(s), turn them
all the way into the base.
ANTI-CONDENSA TION PIPE
The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may
sometimes get warm, especially just after
installation.
Dont be alarmed. 
This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which
pumps hot refrigerant to prevent sweating on the
outer cabinet wall.
 
						

							1. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
2. Remove refrigerator shelves.
3. Remove the lamp by turning it counterclockwise.
4.  Assemble in reverse order of disassembl y. 
    Replacement bulb must be the same 
    specification as original.
8
LAMP REPLACEMENT(Option)
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
If possible, connect the refrigerator to its own individual ele ctrical outlet to prevent it and other appliances
or household lights from causing an overload that could cause a  power outage.
POWER CORD REPLACEMENT
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord available from the manufacturer or its
service  agent.
ABOUT GROUNDING (EARTHING)
In the event of an electric short circuit, grounding (earthing)  reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric current.
In order to prevent possible electric shock, this appliance mus t be grounded.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in an electric sh ock. Consult a qualified electrician or service
person if the grounding instructions are not completely underst ood, or if you have doubts on whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
IMPOR TANT W ARNINGS
This appliance must be grounded (earthed).
DONT W AIT!  DO IT NOW!

3. Unscrew and remove the Adjustable Foot (A).
4. Remove the Lower Hinge (D) by unscrewing the 2xBolts (B).
5. Remove the Leg (H) by unscrewing the bolt fixing it (C).
6. Gently pull the door downwards to remove it.
7.  Before refitting the door , swap the Hinge Cap (F) by prising it from its current location and r\
epositioning it
on the other side of the door . Care should be taken not to damage the adjacent surfaces when removing\
the Hinge Cap.

).
10. Replace the Adjustable Foot (A), setting it at approximately 20mm.\
11. Carefully stand the appliance up, (you will need assistance to do th\
is), and position it in its permanent
location.
12.  Check that the door opens and closes easily . Ensure that the door seal does not bind on the hinge side
creating gaps which would allow air into the interior . Adjust the hinges if necessary.
This appliance should be stood on a firm, level floor with suf ficient space for free airflow around it. (At least
10mm all round and, subject to location, 20mm beneath the worksurface).\
 A void positions close to walls or
corners. There must be suf ficient room for free ventilation particularly at the back. The unit sho\
uld be
located away from direct heat sources, such as cookers, radiators and di\
rect sunlight. If the unit is
positioned where the temperature is too low , condensation will form on the outside of the cabinet. Normal
room temperature is recommended.
A void locations which may be af fected by draughts or dampness as this will impair the ef ficiency of the
product
