• Refer to detailed 'Installation Instructions' for reversing door opening direction.
• This appliance is intended for ambient temperatures between +10°C and +38°C (SN-ST).
• Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight as this may reduce efficiency.

Replacing the interior light

The LED lamp is not user-replaceable. If a failure occurs, please call the LAMONA Service Line. The light is for illuminating the fridge section to assist safe food handling.

2 - Using the fridge freezer

Temperature control and adjustment

Interior temperature can be affected by seasonal changes, frequent door openings, hot food, and appliance location. Adjust the temperature using the control dial (0=OFF, 5=coldest setting, normally 2.5).

WARNING: Turning the temperature control to '0' switches the fridge freezer OFF.

Cold zones

Due to natural air circulation, temperatures vary within the fridge:

• Coldest areas are at the bottom, above the crisper and at the back. Food must not touch the back wall to prevent freezing.
• Warmest areas are at the top, front, and in the door sections. Use these for butter, cheese, etc.

An alarm will sound if the fridge door is left open for more than 1 minute. Close the door to stop the alarm.

Noises

Normal operating noises include 'cracks', 'gurgles', and fan 'humming'.

Storing frozen food

• Store pre-packed frozen food according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Leave air circulation channels through stored food.
• In case of power failure, do not open the freezer door. Frozen food should be unaffected for a few hours (check rating plate for conservation time). For longer failures, check food and consume or cook and refreeze.
• DO NOT lift and carry drawers by the drawer front; use side handles.

Loading

• Allow air to circulate; do not pack food too closely.
• Recommended fridge temperature: no higher than +5°C (centre shelf).
• Recommended freezer temperature: -18°C.
• Check temperatures with an accurate thermometer.
• Always cover food and avoid storing open containers.
• Close doors immediately after use.
• If ice builds up on the fridge rear wall, turn the dial to '1' for a short period until ice melts, then return to normal.

Food storage and energy efficiency

• Energy efficiency is best with default drawer/shelf positions and evenly distributed food.
• Store raw meat and fish on the coolest, lowest shelf.
• Store butter and cheese on upper shelves or in door racks.
• Minimize time between buying chilled/frozen food and storing it. Use a cool bag for frozen food.
• Do not leave doors open longer than necessary and ensure they are closed properly.
• Defrost frozen food in the fridge compartment to assist cooling.

Food storage advice and recommendations to avoid waste food and energy

• Do: Clean regularly, store raw meat below cooked food, prepare vegetables, wrap cheese and meat properly, wrap fish and strong-smelling foods, wrap bread, chill drinks, check freezer contents, adhere to 'Best Before'/'Use By' dates, store commercially frozen food as instructed, use high-quality fresh food, freeze food in small portions, wrap all food securely, defrost food in the fridge.
• Don't: Store bananas or melon in the fridge (unless wrapped), store poisonous or dangerous substances, consume excessively old food, store cooked and fresh food together, let food juices drip onto other food, leave doors open, put hot food in the appliance, store liquid-filled bottles or sealed carbonated cans in the freezer, exceed maximum freezing loads, give ice-cream/water ices to children directly from the freezer, refreeze thawed food (eat within 24 hours or cook and refreeze), remove items with wet hands, close the freezer door before closing drawers, thaw frozen food at room temperature (use the fridge).

Freezing fresh food

• Do not freeze very large quantities at once; freeze food quickly to the core for best quality.
• Do not place warm food into the freezer, as it may overcool the fridge section.
• For large quantities, turn the temperature control to a higher setting for a few hours before returning to normal. (Up to 0.5 kg can be frozen without adjusting the control).
• Fresh food can be placed in any part of the freezer.

Making ice cubes

• Fill ice cube trays 3/4 full with water and place in the freezer.
• Use a blunt instrument to remove stuck trays.
• Twist trays or hold under cold running water to remove ice cubes.
• Store ice cubes in a freezer bag for long-term storage.

Defrosting fridge compartment

The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. Defrost water runs to a collection channel and drain tube. Droplets may form and refreeze. Do not use sharp objects to remove frozen droplets. If the drain channel is blocked, use the provided plastic plunger. If there is ice build-up, lower the temperature to '1' for a few hours until it melts.

Defrosting freezer compartment

The freezer compartment does not defrost automatically. Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of 7mm (1/4") forms. The freezer has a collection well for defrost water.

• Switch off the appliance at the mains and unplug.
• Remove all food, wrap in newspaper, and store in a cool place.
• Remove freezer drawers and glass shelf separators (handle glass carefully).
• Place containers of warm water in the freezer to speed up defrosting.
• Sponge out defrost water or place a folded towel in the base to soak it up. Do not let water spill onto the floor.

Fridge shelf removal/adjustment

Shelves can be adjusted for food storage requirements. Remove/adjust only when empty.

• Lift the front edge of the shelf and pull forwards.
• Insert shelf at the desired height.

The raised edge at the back of the shelf must face upwards to prevent food touching the back wall and freezing.

Salad crisper removal

Open the drawer to its maximum, lift upwards, and remove for cleaning.

Door shelf removal/adjustment

Remove/adjust only when empty.

• Gently push the door shelf upwards from underneath.
• Replace at the required height, ensuring it is securely fixed.
• Do not let large/heavy bottles drop into door shelves.

Freezer drawer removal

• Pull the drawer forwards as far as possible.
• Grab the drawer by the handles and lift away.
• Use side handles to carry, not the drawer front.

Freezer glass separator shelf removal

Glass shelves can be removed for storing larger items. Handle glass carefully.

• Remove the freezer drawer(s).
• Lift the front edge of the glass separator shelf and remove.

3 - Cleaning and care

• Switch off the fridge freezer at the mains socket and remove the plug before cleaning or maintenance.
