Installation
Location
When selecting a position for your unit you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 10°C and 43°C. Avoid locating your unit near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight as it may increase the electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or outdoor installation. Do not drape the unit with any covering.
Levelling the Unit
To do this adjust the two levelling feet at the front of the unit. If the unit is not level, the doors and magnetic seal alignments will not be covered properly.
Free Space Requirements
When installing the unit, ensure that 25 mm of free space is left at both sides, 50 mm at the rear of the unit and 25 mm at the top of the unit. The door can be opened to the right or the left, depending on which best suits the location. Please ensure there is more than twice the width and depth distance space of the unit to fully open the door to a maximum angle.

Installing the Door Handle
Remove the screw hole plugs. Place the door handle in place and screw tightly. Cover the screw holes with the door handle screw covers. Button the buckle between the handle and cover, then snap to close the cover from the inside until a 'pop' sound is heard. This is an easy-to-open door handle. No hard pull is required, instead just twist the handle gently and the door can be pulled open easily.
Installing the Water Tank
- Insert the valve of the water tank into the hole of the water dispenser and push down the water tank to attach securely with the water dispenser.
- To remove the water tank, hold firmly on both sides and bottom of the water tank then push up. Be careful not to press on the valve.

Reversing the Door Swing
Tools required: Philips style screwdriver / Flat bladed screwdriver / Hexagonal spanner
Ensure the unit is unplugged and empty. To take the door off it is necessary to tilt the unit backwards. You should rest the unit on something solid, e.g. a chair just below the top panel. All parts removed must be saved to do the reinstallation of the door. Do not lay the unit flat as this may damage the coolant system. We recommend that 2 people handle the unit during assembly. If you want to have the door swing reversed, we recommend that you contact a qualified technician. You should only try to reverse the door yourself if you believe that you are qualified to do so.

Noises Inside the Unit!
You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them! These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.
Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit
- Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect juices and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.
- Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the compartments. Ensure all parts of the unit are kept cool.
- To prevent transfer of flavours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
- Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain the internal temperature of the unit.
- To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the door. We recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take food out.
- Hang the bottle stopper on any door shelf to hold bottles firmly in place.
- One of the salad bin cover shelves has a humidity control feature (Low / High). To maintain a lower humidity level in the salad bin, slide the feature leftward (towards Low). To maintain a higher humidity level in the salad bin, slide the feature rightward (towards High).
Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit
- Remove all the shelves and drawers.
- Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with warm water using a sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves, drawers and salad bin.
- Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make sure that the door is closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seals or inside the unit.
- The grille of the condenser at the back of the unit and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
Cleaning the Water Tank and Water Dispenser
- Remove the water tank. Wash the tank, tank cover, small cap and valve lightly under water.
- After cleaning, dry them thoroughly before installing back in the fridge.
- Wipe the receiving base of the water dispenser with dry towel regularly to avoid overflowing.

When the unit is not in use for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains supply, empty all food and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
Condensation
Condensation may appear on the outside of the unit. This may be due to a change in room temperature. Wipe off any moisture residue. If the problem continues, please contact a qualified technician for assistance.
Disposal
Old units still have some residual value. An environmentally friendly method of disposal will ensure that valuable raw materials can be recovered and used again.
