Installation.  
Choosing a location:  
WARNING:THE APPLIANCE SHOULD  
ONLY BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED  
ELECTRICIAN IN COMPLIANCE WITH THESE  
INSTRUCTIONS, CURRENT STANDARDS  
AND REGULATIONS.  
Your Integrated Fridge Freezer should be  
fitted into a kitchen unit space where it is easy  
to use.  
The power socket should be in a readily  
accessible position adjacent to the unit.  
Never place the appliance near a heat  
emitting device (eg. cooker, radiator, water  
heater or similar) and do not expose it to  
direct sunlight. In such a position your Fridge  
Freezer will have to work harder and will cost  
more to run and may be damaged by the  
heat. The appliance may be exposed to lower  
or higher temperatures but only for short  
periods of time and the temperature should  
never be lower than 5˚C.  
Before Fitting:  
Before connecting to the electricity supply  
leave the appliance to stand for 2 hours to  
allow the cooling system to settle.  
Please read through this section before  
starting any work.  
At the base of the kitchen unit intended for  
installing the appliance, there should be at  
least 200cm2 free space, for adequate air  
circulation.  
The rear wall of the appliance gets warm  
during operation and water evaporates from  
the drain pan on the compressor.You must  
therefore provide adequate air circulation at  
the rear of the appliance.  
Do not cover the air outlet grille at the top of  
the appliance.  
Your Integrated Fridge Freezer is designed to  
fit into a tall housing as shown (fig 1). It is  
vitally important that the appliance is vented  
correctly.

Getting your Appliance ready for use.  
Before connecting to the mains electricity  
supply leave the appliance to stand for 2  
hours to allow the cooling system to settle.  
Running in the Compressor:  
Your appliance is operated by a compressor  
which switches on and off in order to  
maintain the internal temperature.  
The compressor requires a running in period  
of up to 2 months. During this time it has to  
work a little harder and may result in more  
noise than usual.  
Clean the appliance, and be thorough,  
especially in the interior. (see Caring for  
your Appliance.  
Final Check:  
Before you start using your appliance check  
that:  
Noise levels are also determined as to the  
location of the appliance, what is stored and  
where the items are placed,  
-
-
-
-
The appliance is level.  
It is thoroughly dry inside.  
There is adequate air circulation.  
Accessories are correctly placed in their  
positions.  
Whether the compressor is running  
or not, it is normal to hear sounds  
created by the liquid and gases sealed  
within the system.  
10  
 
The Controls.  
The temperature in both the fridge and the  
freezer is regulated by one thermostat which  
is located inside the top right of the fridge  
compartment.  
INTEGRATED LOW AMBIENT/FAST FREEZE  
SWITCH -  
The appliance has an integrated switch built  
into the control box housing, close to the  
Turn the control knob clockwise from the OFF thermostat knob.  
(O) position to the required setting 1 - 7.  
This switch should be turned on (switch  
illuminated), when the ambient  
TEMPERATURE SELECTION -  
temperature is lower than 20˚C, to ensure  
normal operation of the appliance.  
When the integrated switch is activated the  
compressor will operate for longer periods,  
the refrigerator and freezer temperatures will  
therefore be colder than normal.  
Higher settings on the knob (towards 7)  
mean lower temperatures (colder) in all  
compartments of the appliance.Temperature  
in the interior of the appliance may even drop  
below 0˚C  
When the ambient temperature is normal, we  
recommend medium setting.  
NOTE: Also refer to the freezing procedure.  
Changes of the ambient temperature affect  
temperature in the interior of the appliance  
(choose the correct setting of the thermostat  
knob).  
In the OFF (O) position the appliance does  
not operate (the cooling system is switched  
off), however the interior light will still operate  
when the door is opened.

Storing Food.  
FREEZING FRESH FOODS -  
STORING FROZEN FOODS -  
G Carefully select food you intend to freeze: it Store commercially frozen foods according to  
should be of high quality and thoroughly  
cleaned before freezing it.  
the manufacturers recommended storage  
instructions as indicated on the packaging.  
When shopping select frozen foods last and  
be careful in choosing adequately packed  
foods.Wrap frozen food when you buy it and  
put it in the freezer as soon as possible. Dont  
but packages of food with a frost layer, this  
indicates that the package has been at least  
partially thawed before.  
G Use correct packaging suitable for the  
freezer.  
- The packaging should be air tight and  
should not leak since this could cause  
substantial vitamin loss and dehydration  
of foods.  
- Foils and bags should be soft enough to  
wrap tightly around foods.  
G Mark packages with the following data:  
- The kind and quantity of foods.  
- The date of loading.  
DEFROSTING FROZEN FOOD -  
Partially thawed or defrosted food should be  
used as soon as possible.  
G Prepare fresh foods for freezing in small  
quantities to ensure that the food freezes  
quicker and its quality does not deteriorate  
during thawing and preparation.  
G Dry packs of food to be frozen so that they  
do not freeze together.  
G The quantity of fresh foods that can be  
loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is  
indicated on the rating plate (freezing  
capacity). If the loaded amount is too large,  
the quality of freezing is reduced, which  
affects the quality of frozen foods.  
GGDont put liquid filled bottles or sealed  
cans containing fizzy drinks into the freezer  
as they may burst.  
Cold air preserves the food but it does not  
destroy micro-organisms which rapidly  
activate after defrosting and make foods  
perishable.

Caring for your Appliance.  
DEFROSTING:  
MANUAL DEFROSTING OF THE FREEZER-  
When the frost and ice layer in the freezer is  
3 - 5mm thick you should defrost the freezer.  
G A few hours before defrosting, set the  
thermostat to position 7, so that packages  
are well frozen.  
AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING OF THE  
REFRIGERATOR-  
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator,  
because ice deposited on the interior back  
wall is defrosted automatically.  
Ice is deposited on the interior back wall  
during the compressor operation, later on  
when the compressor is not operating, the  
ice defrosts and water droplets collect and  
drain through the outlet in the interior back  
wall into the drain pan situated above the  
compressor, from where it evaporates.  
Reset the thermostat to OFF (O) position  
and disconnect the power supply.  
Empty the freezer, wrap frozen food in a  
blanket and put in a cool place.  
G Insert the supplied pipe into the  
groove (the defrost water outlet) in the  
bottom of the appliance  
G Place a vessel underneath to collect the  
defrost water. Defrosting is accelerated if  
the door is left open.  
MANUAL DEFROSTING OF THE REFRIGERATOR-  
As long as the defrost water runs to the chan-  
nel and through the outlet to the drain pan  
on the compressor, automatic defrosting of  
the appliance is assured.  
In the case of ice formation on the interior  
rear wall increasing (3-5mm), ice should be  
manually defrosted.  
Set the thermostat knob to OFF (O) position  
and leave the refrigerator door open.  
Never use electric devices for defrosting and  
do not scrape the ice with sharp objects.  
After defrosting is completed, turn the  
thermostat knob to the desired position and  
close the refrigerator door.  
G Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may  
cause damage to the plastic parts and may  
be hazardous to health.  
The cause of increased ice formation may be  
one of the following:  
REPLACING THE LIGHT BULB-  
Should the light fail to work, switch off at the  
power point and pull out the plug. Remove  
the shelves to make access easier. Access to  
the bulb is from the rear of the cover  
(arrow 1) and remove the cover in the  
direction of (arrow 2).  
Unscrew the old bulb. Screw the new bulb  
securely into the holder. Replace the plug in  
the power point and switch on. If the light  
fails to work, do not worry, it will not affect the  
working of your Larder Fridge. Obtain a  
replacement (max 15 watt 220-240V  
alternating current, E14 lampholder) from  
your nearest Spares Centre and replace the  
old bulb.  
-
The door does not seal well. (Clean the  
gasket if it is contaminated or replace it if it  
is damaged).  
-

-
The door was frequently opened or was  
left open for a long period.  
The food stored in the refrigerator was  
warm.  
Food or packaging is touching the interior  
rear wall.

Troubleshooting.  
When checking an appliance you can come across some problems which are a result of  
improper handling of the appliance and can be easily eliminated.  
Run through this checklist before calling your nearest Service office.  
The appliance wont work.  
Check the plug is firmly positioned in the wall  
socket and the power supply is switched on.  
Check the power supply with another  
appliance.  
Check the fuse.  
There has been a power failure.  
DO NOT OPEN THE FREEZER DOOR.  
If power does not return within 16 hours, food  
should be removed from the freezer and either  
cooked and eaten within 24 hours or cooked  
and refrozen.  
The appliance is making alot of noise.  
Continuous Operation of the Compressor  
Check the appliance is stabilised.  
Ensure the appliance is not touching the wall  
or kitchen units.  
Has the door been opened frequently or for  
left open for a long period of time?  
The door is not closed properly/does not seal  
properly (clean the gasket if it is contaminated  
or replace it if it is damaged).  
Have you observed the maximum storage  
quantities?  
Check there is adequate air circulation.  
Water is leaking from the refrigerator.  
Check that the defrost water outlet is not  
blocked. (If blocked a plastic straw can be used  
to clear).  
Check that stored food or packaging is not in  
contact with the cooling plate on the interior  
rear wall of the refrigerator. (NB. It is normal  
for droplets to run down the cooling plate).  
Is there ice formation on the interior rear wall?  
(see Manual defrosting of the Refrigerator’ )  
Refrigerator interior light does not work.  
The freezer door is difficult to open.  
SWITCH OFF AT THE SOCKET AND PULL OUT  
THE MAIN PLUG, check the bulb is screwed in  
correctly.  
If it still doesnt work, replace the bulb (see  
‘Changing the Light Bulb).  
If you have just closed the freezer door, it  
may be particularly difficult to open again  
immediately.This is partly due to the  
difference in temperature between the room  
and the internal compartment.Wait 5 minutes  
for the external and internal pressure to  
equalise and try again.  
Refrigerator and freezer compartments are  
colder than normal.  
This is normal when the integrated low ambient  
switch is selected (illuminated).  
The compressor runs for prolonged periods.
