POWER FAILURE
If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the power failure
lasts for less than 12 hours.
Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The fridge-freezer is controlled with a temperature control knob located inside it, towards the upper
right-hand corner.
Adjust the control knob as desired to suit your individual preference.
OFF is off setting
Min is warmest setting
Med is normal setting
Max is coldest setting
The running time and temperature are affected by where the fridge-freezer is located, how often the
door is opened and the temperature of the room the fridge-freezer is located in.
When you use the appliance for the first time or after defrosting, adjust the control knob to the coldest
setting for at least 2 hours before introducing food to be stored, and then readjust to the middle setting.
MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE
If the appliance is turned off for any reason, wait 10 minutes before turning it back on. This will allow the
refrigeration system pressures to equalise before restarting.

Turn off the appliance and unplug it from the mains socket. Remove all food. Also remove all mobile
parts (shelves, accessories, etc.) or fix them into the appliance to avoid any shock.

Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it standing
upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on.
Your appliance uses isobutane (R600a) as a refrigerant. Although R600a is an environmentally friendly
and natural gas, it is explosive. Therefore you should be careful during shipment and installation to
prevent your appliance’s cooler elements from being damaged. In the event of a leak caused by damage
to the cooler elements, move your appliance from open flame or heat sources and ventilate the room
where the appliance is located for a few minutes.
STORING FOOD IN THE FRIDGE COMPARTMENT
The fridge compartment helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods.
Fresh food care
For best results:

Store foods that are very fresh and of good quality.

Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from dehydrating,
deteriorating in colour or losing taste and will help maintain freshness. It will also prevent odour
