							Installation
Unpacking
Remove all transit packaging, including the door transit
retainers located under the plinth. (Fig 1) and shelf
retainers (Fig 2).
Positioning
The appliance should be located in a well-ventilated,
dry room. To ensure correct operation the appliance
should:
•Not be exposed to direct sunlight.
•Not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other
sources of heat.
•Only be installed in a location where the ambient
temperature corresponds to the climate classifica-
tion for which the appliance is designed.
The climate classification can be found on the rating
plate, which is located on the bottom, left hand side of
the fridge compartment. The table shows the correct
operating ambient temperature for each climate class.
(Fig 3)
Climate Classification Ambient Operating Temp.
SN +10 to +32°C
N +16 to +32°C
ST +18 to +38°C
T +18 to +43°C
If the temperature rises above or falls below the stated
ambient temperature for the climate class, the opera-
tion of the appliance may be affected.
Ventilation
You should also ensure that air can circulate freely
around the back and the top of the cabinet. 
Never put something on the ventilator grill of the
appliance (see fig. 4)
Levelling
Level the appliance by turning the 2 adjustable feet at
the front of the appliance. The appliance must be level
to prevent vibration and excessive noise and to ensure
the doors shut correctly. (Fig 5)

fied electrician or competent person.
This appliance must be earthed.
The manufacturer declines any liability
should these safety measures not be
observed.
Electrical Requirements
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply
voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance
rating plate.
The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted. In
the event of having to change the fuse in the plug sup-
plied, a 13 amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse must
be used. 
Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason,
the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
Green and Yellow  - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
The wire coloured green and yellow must be connec-
ted to the terminal marked with the letter ‘E’ or by the
earth symbol       or coloured green and yellow.
The wire coloured blue must be connected to the ter-
minal marked ‘N’ or coloured black.
The wire coloured brown must be connected to the ter-
minal marked ‘L’ or coloured red.
Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands
of wire present and the cord clamp must be secure
over the outer sheath. 
Important
If the mains supply cable is damaged, it must be repla-
ced by a cable available from your local Service Force
Centre.

If you wish to change the opening direction of the
doors, proceed as follows:1. Open the freezer door. Remove the plinth (A) at the bottom of the appliance, by pushing downwards
and pulling outwards. (See fig 5)
2. Remove the hinge cover (B) in the plinth and repo- sition on the opposite side of the plinth.
3. Whilst supporting the lower door, use a 8mm nut driver to remove the 3 hinge retaining bolts and
remove the lower hinge.
4. Carefully lower the door off the central hinge.
5. Support the upper door and remove the two secu- ring screws from the centre hinge. Remove the
hinge, taking care that the upper door does not fall,
retain the plastic spacer washer.
6. Carefully remove the upper door.
7. Unscrew the small blanking plugs (3) and refit on the opposite side to cover the vacant hinge holes. 
8. Unscrew the hinge pin (4) in the upper and lower hinge blades and refit on the opposite side.
9. Change the door self-closing system (5), putting the freezer door’s on the fridge door and viceversa.
10. Refit the spacer washers and the upper door onto the upper hinge pin and refit the centre hinge in
position.
11. Relocate the lower door onto the central hinge pin, and refit the lower hinge assembly.
12. Refit the plinth.
After reversing the door ensure the internal light turns
off when the fridge door is closed, and the door gasket
seals correctly to the cabinet. If the gasket is not sea-
ling correctly, apply warm air to the non-sealing area
using a hair dryer set to gentle heat.
This will make the rubber more supple and allow it to
revert to its original shape and seal correctly.
