especially with wet hands.
Do not splash water onto the appliance. Keep it away from places of high humidity that may have adverse effect on the
electric insulation performance.
Please remove the door, door seal and shelves before disposal of the old appliance and put them away in a safe place to
prevent children from being entrapped.
Before first use
You must allow the fridge to settle for at least twenty four hours prior to switching the power on.
It is recommended that you clean the interior of the appliance prior to first use, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda
and warm water and then thoroughly drying the interior.
The fridge may have an odour to it at first use. This will disappear as the appliance cools.

Use
Fridge
•
•
Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.
Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool to room temperature before being
put into the refrigerator.
•
Nothing should rest against the rear wall of the refrigerator, as this will cause frost and possible condensation
problems which will be difficult to remove.
•
•
Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away before putting into the fridge.
Wrap or cover food before putting into the fridge. This will help prevent the loss of moisture, keep food fresh and
avoid unpleasant odours.
•
Sort foods prior to storing. Any foods to be used soon should be stored at the front of the shelf to prevent
deterioration caused by the door being open for prolonged periods.
•
•
•
Do not overfill the fridge. There should be sufficient space between the foods to allow the cool air to circulate.
Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help to keep the temperature low and save energy.
Only open the door for as long as is necessary. Leaving the door open for long periods will affect the temperature
inside the appliance and waste energy.
•
Ensure all compartments are fully closed after use.

Care and cleaning
Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before any cleaning or maintenance.
The fridge sections should be cleaned using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water. Do not use abrasive
products or detergents. After washing, rinse and dry thoroughly.
Clean the shelves and balconies separately by hand with soap and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.
The water drain hole at the back of the fridge compartment and the evaporating tray should be clened periodically to
prevent the defrosted water from collecting inside the fridge compartment. The drain plug can be used to clean the
drain hole.
Once cleaning is complete, then reconnect the power.
•
•
Keep the door gasket clean. If damaged, the gasket should be replaced.
If the appliance is not used for prolonged periods of time, unplug and clean the appliance. The door should be left
slightly open to prevent the formation of mildew and smell.
Defrosting the fridge
The fridge is self-defrosting. Any water created will run out of the fridge through the channel at the back of the fridge.
It is important to keep the channel clear at all times. The defrosted water is collected in the evaporating tray at the back of
the appliance.
