and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum gap of
3mm between the switch contacts and of a type suitable
for the required load in compliance with the current
electrical regulations.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage
is the same as that indicated on the appliance’s rating plate.
(See picture on page 5).
The appliance is supplied with a 13amp plug supplied. In the
event of having to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a
13amp ASTA approved BS 1363/A fuse must be used.

Hints &Tips
In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given about how
to use the appliance to reach maximum efficiency.
Environmental information is also supplied.
Normal Operating Sounds
Energy Saving Advice
Do not install the cabinet close to sources of
heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator.
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the
refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing.
Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated
room and make sure that the air openings of the
cabinet are not obstructed.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being
pumped round and you will hear a whirring sound or
pulsating noise from the compressor.
A thermostat controls the compressor and you will hear
a faint 'click' when the thermostat cuts in and out.
Always leave warm food to cool down to room
temperature before placing in the fridge.
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long
periods, or opening the door too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
Food Storage
To obtain the best performance from your appliance:
To obtain the best results from your appliance
neither hot foods nor liquids which may evaporate,
should be placed in the larder compartment.Allow
to cool first before placing in the appliance.
Keep the time between buying chilled food and
placing it in your fridge as short as possible.
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the
door from closing properly.
It is advisable to periodically clean the
refrigeration system at the back of the appliance
with a duster or vacuum cleaner.
Do not push food together too closely, try to allow
air to circulate around each item.
Do not store food uncovered.
Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and
clean, refer to cleaning and maintenance.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance of cleaning work is carried
out DISCONNECT the appliance from the
Should the light fail to work you can change it as below:
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
Changing the Light Bulb
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.
Internal Cleaning
Remove the lamp cover retaining screws, then take the
lamp cover off in the direction of the arrow and the bulb
can be changed. (Type of the bulb: 230 V, 15 W, E 14
thread)
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and
bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and
dry thoroughly.
After changing the bulb replace the lamp cover, and
retaining screws and reconnect the appliance to the
electricity supply.
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly
perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning
products

containing
Clean the drain hole of the water trough at regular intervals
and ensure that the drain hole is clear at all times. If blocked
carefully clear using a piece of flexible curtain wire inserted
into the drain outlet to remove the blockage.
Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure
they are clean and free from debris.
DefrostingYour Appliance
The fridge compartment is defrosted automatically,when
the motor stops. Defrost water from the cooling plate
runs out of the drain and onto a tray on the motor
compressor where it evaporates. Droplets of water on
the cooling plate during defrosting are quite normal and
will freeze on the plate afterwards.
When the appliance is not in
use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all of the
food and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to
prevent unpleasant smells.
External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Do NOT use abrasive products.
There are sharp edges on the underside of the
product so care should be taken when
cleaning.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille)
and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will
affect the performance of the appliance and cause
excessive electricity consumption.
