Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are free and debris and to
prevent cold air from escaping.
Defrosting
After a period of time frost will build up in the chill box. Regular defrosting will therefore be
necessary to maintain the efficiency of the Refrigerator. This should be carried out if the frost
build up begins to interfere with the food storage. Choose a time when the stock of frozen
food is low and proceed as follows:
Take out the frozen food, turn the Refrigerator off at the mains supply and leave the
door open. Ideally the frozen food should be put into another freezer or refrigerator. To
speed up the defrosting process bowls of hot water can be placed inside the
Refrigerator to raise the air temperature.
1) When all traces of ice have been removed and defrosting is completed, clean away
any water and wipe dry.
2) Clean your Refrigerator as described below, plug in and switch the Refrigerator
back on, allowing it time to fall to the correct temperature before replacing food.
Cleaning the Inside of the Refrigerator
You should clean the Refrigerator internally with warm water using a soft cloth. Wipe the
Refrigerator dry before replacing the food. Plug in and switch on the mains supply.
Cleaning the outside of the Refrigerator
Use standard cleaning fluids to clean the Refrigerator exterior. The grille of the condenser at
the back of the Refrigerator and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft
brush attachment.
Noises inside the Refrigerator
If you have not owned a Refrigerator before, you may notice that it makes some rather
unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them!
GURGLING, WHOOSHING
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It
has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault
and will not affect the performance of your Refrigerator.
HUMMING, PURRING OR PULSATING
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.

Installation
When selecting a position for your Refrigerator, you should make sure the floor is flat and
firm, and the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 12°C and
32°C.
Avoid locating your Refrigerator near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also
avoid direct sunlight.
If you are placing your Refrigerator in an out-building such as a garage or annex ensure that
the Refrigerator is placed above the damp course, otherwise condensation will occur on the
Refrigerator cabinet.
Never place the Refrigerator in a wall recess or into fitted cabinets or furniture. When your
Refrigerator is working, the grille at the back may become hot and the sides warm. It must
therefore be installed so that there is at least 5-7 cm of free space at the sides and 1-2cm of
free space above the Refrigerator. There is a built in air flow grille at the back of the
Refrigerator lid to ensure the correct distance from the rear wall.
Levelling the Refrigerator
Once the Refrigerator is sited in its final location, make sure it is level. To do this use the two
levelling feet at the front of the Refrigerator. If the Refrigerator is not level, the doors and
magnetic seal alignments will be affected.
