GETTING TO KNOW YOUR FRIDGE FREEzER
Location
When selecting a position for your fridge freezer, you should make sure the floor is flat and firm,
and the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 16°C and 32°C.
Avoid locating your fridge freezer near a heat source, eg. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct
sunlight. Never place the fridge freezer in a wall recess or into fitted cabinets or furniture.
Your fridge freezer must be installed so that there is 10mm of free space at the sides, 30mm above and
50mm behind. You should also leave enough room so that the door can be opened 160º. The fridge
freezer door can either open to the right or the left, depending on the location which suits you. See
page 8 if you want to reverse the door swing. Do not drape the fridge freezer with any covering.
Levelling the fridge freezer
The fridge freezer has an adjustable foot at the front and two castors at the
back to assist with moving. Once the fridge freezer is put in its final location,
make sure it is level; use the levelling foot at the front. If the fridge freezer is
not level, the doors and magnetic seal alignments will be affected.
Cleaning before use
Remove all securing tape. Wipe the inside of the fridge freezer with a weak solution of bicarbonate
of soda, then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before
replacing the shelves and baskets. You can clean the fridge freezer externally with wax polish.
If you require more information refer to CLEANING on page 9.
Before plugging in YOU MUST
Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the fridge freezer.
If not, see the section called Electrical Connections on page 11.
Before switching on!
DO NOT SWITCH ON UNTIL FOUR HOURS AFTER MOVING THE FRIDGE FREEZER. The coolant fluid needs
time to settle.
Before using your fridge freezer
Before placing any food in your fridge freezer, turn the fridge freezer on and wait for 24 hours to make
sure it is working properly and to allow the fridge freezer to reach the correct temperature. Always
follow the storage instructions on the food packaging.
Before use
Please read these instructions carefully before using your new Frigidaire fridge freezer.
