Unpacking and Placement: Carefully unbox the appliance. Choose a suitable indoor, heated location. Ensure there's adequate ventilation around the unit as per the manual's guidelines. Avoid placing it near direct heat sources (like ovens or radiators) or in direct sunlight.
Leveling: Use a spirit level to ensure the fridge freezer is perfectly level. Adjust the front feet as needed to prevent vibrations and ensure optimal door sealing.
Power Connection: Allow the appliance to stand upright for at least 4 hours after delivery before plugging it into a grounded power outlet. This allows refrigerants to settle.

Selecting a professional door reversal service ensures proper alignment and sealing, maintaining appliance efficiency and warranty.
Indoor Use Only: This fridge freezer is specifically designed for domestic use in an indoor, heated environment. It is not suitable for installation in unheated areas such as garages, sheds, conservatories, or other outbuildings, as both food preservation and appliance function could be compromised.
Electrical Requirements: Ensure your electrical supply matches the specifications on the appliance's rating plate.
Cleaning: Regularly clean the interior with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For the freezer, the No Frost feature eliminates manual defrosting.
Door Seals: Periodically inspect and clean the door seals to ensure they are free from food debris and remain flexible. Clean seals maintain efficiency and prevent air leakage.
Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation openings at the back or sides of the appliance are not obstructed. Good airflow is crucial for efficient operation and energy saving.
