Storing fresh foods  
Freezing fresh foods  
Packaging fresh foods properly, using the correct  
temperature and taking into account food hygiene will  
enhance the quality of fresh foods stored within this  
appliance.  
As with storing fresh foods, suitable packaging, correct  
temperature and food hygiene will enhance the quality of  
the food you are freezing.  
Make sure that all foods for freezing are of a high quality,  
and suitable for freezing.  
Use plastic bags, aluminium foil or other food wraps to cover  
fresh foods not in packaging to prevent flavour transfer and  
prevent contamination.  
Make sure that foods, which have been cooked and require  
chilling, are at room temperature before placing them into  
the appliance. Make sure that these foods are stored in  
suitable containers.  
Before storing items in multi packs (i.e. yoghurt) remove any  
excess packaging.  
Make sure that foodstuffs are stored systematically (raw  
meats with raw meats, dairy with dairy) to avoid flavour  
transfer and cross contamination. Raw meats should be  
stored towards the bottom of the appliance to prevent the  
possibility of it dripping onto uncooked food. Other foods  
should be stored above raw meat.  
Use suitable packaging (plastic bags etc.) to store food in,  
and make sure that it is air tight or well sealed. Leaking  
packaging will dehydrate the products and lead to loss of  
beneficial vitamins.  
Mark packages with the kind of food contained and the date  
of storage.  
Food needs to be frozen quickly, so it is best to freeze small  
portions whenever possible and ensure that they are as cold  
as possible before storage. The recommended maximum  
weight for each portion is 2.5kg.  
Keep food which is fresh away from food which is already  
frozen, if you need to freeze fresh food every day, make  
sure that it is in small portions to prevent this.  
Never store anything, which is flammable,  
Do not exceed the maximum load for freezing – which is  
given as 10kg / 24H - see data badge for details.

To prevent undue temperature rises; you should wrap the  
foods in layers of insulating material, such as newspaper,  
to help to maintain their temperature. It is also important  
that any food affected by this situation should be either  
consumed or cooked and re-frozen (where suitable) soon  
afterwards in order to prevent health risks.  
It is also advisable to use this function before you clean  
the appliance interior to ensure that foods are as frozen as  
possible.  
Layers of newspaper can also be used to help keep foods  
cold while you are defrosting the freezer (see cleaning your  
appliance).  
Storing frozen foods  
Storage areas  
When storing commercially frozen foods, please follow  
these guidelines.  
About your Freezer Compartment  
As with the refrigerator, certain areas of the freezer are  
better for storage of certain foods.  
Always follow manufacturers’ guidelines for  
the length of time you should store food for.  
Do not exceed these guidelines!  
Ice creams and water ices are best stored towards the rear  
of the appliance where it is coldest.  
Try to keep the length of time between purchase and  
storage as short as possible to preserve food quality.  
Large / heavier portions of food, such as meats joints for  
roasting are best stored in the drawers at the bottom of the  
appliance, while less weighty items should be stored on the  
shelves – this is to prevent damage to the appliance.  
Buy frozen foods, which have been stored at a  
temperature of –18°C or below.  
Avoid buying food which has ice or frost on the  
packaging – This indicates that the products might  
have been partially defrosted and re-frozen at some  
point – Temperature rises affect the quality of food.  
You should always make sure that food stored is suitable  
for freezing, and that you have stored it securely inside the  
appliance.  
When consuming ice cream or water ices allow them  
to warm a little first to prevent freezer burns on hands  
or tongue.  
Should there be a power cut, or the freezer /  
refrigeration appliance fail for any length of time you  
may need to remove food from the freezer and store  
in a cold, hygienic place (i.e. garage or out house  
area) until the power is restored, or the appliance is  
repaired.

the drawer first. Lift the food shelf in an upward direction at  
the rear (1) and pull it towards you (2). Then turn the shelf  
into position (3). You must have the appliance door open by  
90°.  
Defrosting food for cooking  
Should food become partially thawed, or defrosted it should  
be consumed as soon as possible as the quality will be  
affected by defrosting.  
Always make sure that food is thoroughly  
defrosted before cooking and no ice crystals  
remain.This is especially important for  
poultry, as this can be extremely harmful to  
health.

Always follow the defrosting instructions  
on packaging when defrosting ready meals  
– manufacturers’ guidelines are always best, as  
some frozen foods should be cooked from frozen.

Lower humidity is ideal for storing foods such as  
strawberries, melons, tomatoes and beans. Opening  
more holes in the moisture control will lower the humidity  
accordingly.  
Always make sure that the front edge of the crisper  
compartment is underneath the crisper cover. When  
removing the crisper, remove the compartment first before  
the cover.

Using the Icemaker & Water Dispenser  
Before using the Icemaker/Water  
Dispenser  
How the icemaker works  
In every cycle 8 ice cubes are produced.  
Capacity of the icemaker depends on the freezer  
temperature, the ambient temperature of the environment  
around the appliance and how often the freezer door is  
opened.  
Water supply installation  
Pressure of the cold water supplied to the automatic  
icemaker is between 1.5 - 8.5Bar.  
Installation instructions for the connection kit (to  
a potable/drinking water supply) are found inside  
the fridge.  
Do not store ice cubes, which are produced during the  
first batch of cubes following appliance start up, or after a  
prolonged break. Discard these cubes.  
Caution: Only an authorised person should  
To ensure that the ice cube tray is filled to maximum  
capacity, you will need to manually arrange the ice cubes  
periodically.  
install the water pipes and filter.  
The water tube should be of an appropriate length  
- usually 12 metres - and should be free of bends  
after being inserted into place. If the tube is too long  
then pressure will be reduced, therefore reducing the  
capacity of ice making.  
Some ice cubes may stick together when dropped into the  
storage box – you will need to separate these to ensure  
maximum use of the icebox.  
First use of the icemaker / water dispenser  
Always use potable / drinking water.  
Do not consume the first seven (approx)  
glasses of water, as there may be dust and /  
Keep the water tube clear of heat sources.  
or impurities within the water pipes.  
The water tube should be installed and tested by  
authorised personnel.  
This will ensure that the pipes are cleared.  
If in doubt, keep re-using the dispenser until the water runs  
clear.  
When used for the first time, press and hold the  
cold-water button for one minute to prime the water  
supply. Do not press the cold-water button for any  
longer as this may cause the valve to heat up.  
Noises during ice making  
The ice making process can be noisy. You may hear ice  
being dropped into the storage compartment. This is  
perfectly normal.  
Precautions  
Never expose the water pipe to temperatures below  
0°C to avoid freezing.  
Storing ice for extended periods  
Test the tubing for leaks by flushing the tube through  
with water, until the water runs clear.  
Ice, which is stored for a long period of time, may go an  
opaque colour and have a strange odour. We recommend  
that you dispose of this ice, remove and clean the icebox.  
Allow the tray to dry thoroughly and cool down before  
replacing into the appliance to prevent ice from sticking.  
After the appliance has been sited into the location  
of your choice, make sure that the water tube is  
arranged so it does not incur damage through bends  
and kinks and is clear of any heat sources.  
Preventing ice from being made  
A qualified appliance installer must install this  
appliance.  
If you do not require any ice over a prolonged period of time  
(i.e. during winter) you can switch off the valve between the  
water supply and the appliance. It is recommended that you  
clean the icebox, dry it carefully and replace it back into the  
appliance – this will prevent any odours being produced.  
Once the temperature inside the freezer is at -15°C  
ice production will begin.  
Do not over use the icemaker. If you attempt to use  
the ice cube button too often it will go into a shut  
down mode. This is perfectly normal and requires you  
to wait for one hour before attempting to re-use it.  
Do not use delicate or fragile glassware.  
Do not touch the ice cube outlet with your hands, or  
any implements to avoid injury or damage.

If the ice maker does not work properly  
The volume of the icebox equals the quantity of ice cubes,  
which the appliance can make in one day. Occasionally  
small number of ice cubes may remain inside the box. If the  
ice gets stuck, this will result in abnormal operation of the  
ice cube maker. To avoid this problem, remove the icebox  
and rearrange the ice cubes, and remove ice cubes, which  
cannot be separated.  
2. Press the button for ice cubes.  
3. Slightly push the glass onto the lever switch and the ice  
cubes will be dispensed into the glass.

Should there be a prolonged power cut you may need to  
remove food from the freezer compartment and store it in  
a cold place, wrapped in layers of newspaper to preserve  
suitable temperatures.  
Following installation, cool water may not be available  
immediately. This is due to air in the pipes. Press the  
cool water supply button until water is dispensed to  
clear the air. This can take up to two minutes.  
In the event of a power cut, food should  
remain safely cold for 3 hours approx.  
The water supply will become cooler and cooler  
gradually.  
Once power is restored – replace the food back into the  
freezer compartment.  
Cool water does not contain ice – this should be added  
before the water.  
Should food begin to defrost, or the power cut last longer  
than expected, it is advised that you consume any food  
removed from the freezer.  
Safety  
Do not use excessively deep, narrow, fragile  
If the power outage is short term, most foods can be left  
inside the freezer compartment – this is the best way of  
preserving temperature – and surrounded by ice cubes from  
the icebox. This is also an ideal solution for power outages  
you may have been pre warned about.  
or delicate glasses.  
Hold the glass as close as possible to dispenser to  
avoid spilling water, dropping ice or blockages in the  
ice cube dispenser.  
When experiencing a power cut of any kind, do not add any  
extra foods to the freezer.  
Five seconds after the final delivery of ice or water,  
the dispenser flap will close with a ‘phutt’ sound.  
Hold the glass still for a further 2 – 3 seconds (for  
ice), 1 - 2 seconds (for water) after you have filled  
your glass and released the lever switch as additional  
water or ice may be produced.

25W  
The appliance is cooled by the compressor, which will  
make a certain amount of noise when the appliance is  
switched on. The amount of noise depends on the age  
of the appliance (older appliances may become noisier),  
the positioning of the appliance (a levelled appliance is  
less noisy) and how the appliance is used.  
During use, you may hear the sound of the refrigerant  
being circulated, and the sound of it flowing when  
the compressor is off. The sound of the compressor  
itself, which is a humming sound and a click when the  
compressor switches off and on.

to the electricity supply.  
When you are starting the appliance for the first time,  
or have had the appliance switched off for a prolonged  
length of time, the sounds described above may be  
louder.  
Check there are no faults with the socket you are using  
by plugging in an appliance you know to be working.  
You may hear hissing or gurgling noises from the  
appliance – these are due to the automatic defrosting  
process.  
Make sure that you have switched the appliance ‘on’.  
The voltage may be incorrect.  
Piping and the evaporator may also make noises should  
the ambient temperature around the appliance change.  
The appliance seems to be continually running.  
If noises seem to be too loud, or a little unusual it  
is more than likely because the appliance requires  
levelling, or it is touching a unit.  
The appliance will make a sound when first started; this  
will gradually fade over a period of time.  
The door has been opened frequently.  
The door isn’t properly closed because the seals need  
cleaning, or are damaged.  
The door is damaged – leading to it dropping out of  
correct alignment with the appliance.
