This Owner’s Guide provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use the fridge-freezer only as instructed in this Use & Care Manual. Before starting the fridge-freezer follow these important first steps.

LOCATION

Choose a place that is near an earthed 13A socket. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

If possible, place the fridge-freezer out of direct sunlight and away from the cooker, dishwasher or other heat sources.

The fridge-freezer must be installed on a floor that is level and strong enough to support a fully loaded fridge-freezer.

Consider water supply availability for models equipped with an automatic ice maker.
