BEFORE THE FIRST USE

• Remove the exterior and interior packing, wipe the outside thoroughly with a soft dry cloth and the inside with a wet, lukewarm cloth.
• Avoid placing the cabinet in a narrow recess or near any leave source, direct sunlight, or moisture.
• Let air circulate freely around the cabinet. Keep the rear of the refrigerator 13 cm away from the wall.
• Select a place with a strong, level floor. One can level the appliance using adjustable legs. The adjustable legs can be adjusting by screwing them in or out of the appliance.
• Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating. Heat sources nearby will cause higher electricity consumption.
• Avoid very moist places. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form very quickly on the evaporator, and your refrigerator.
• Before connecting your refrigerator to the power supply, check that the voltage stated on the rating label of your appliance corresponds to the voltage in your home. A different voltage could damage the appliance.
• The appliance must be grounded. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages that may occur as a result of usage without grounding.
• For uneven surfaces, front feet can be aligned.
• After installation, leave the freezer for 24 hours before turning it on. This way the refrigerant can settle.
• Allow the appliance to run empty for 12 hours so the compartment can cool to the appropriate temperature.
• The appliance may only be used indoors.
• The freezer makes noise when the compressor pumps the coolant. This is normal.
• The climate class indicates the minimum and maximum ambient temperature for the proper operation of an appliance. You can find the climate class on the type plate on the back of the appliance.
  • SN: Subnormal: ambient temperature between 10°C and 32°C
  • N: Normal: ambient temperature between 16°C and 32°C
  • ST: Subtropical: ambient temperature between 16°C and 38°C
  • T: Tropical: ambient temperature between 16°C and 43°C

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

• The internal temperature can be controlled by the thermostat, which can be set to 8 different positions. 1 is the warmest setting and 7 is the coldest. To turn off the appliance, set the temperature control to ‘0’. Position 3 ~ 4 is the recommended position for normal use.
• Operating time and temperature are affected by where the refrigerator is used, the number of times the door is opened and the temperature of the room it is in.

USE

STORING FOOD IN THE FRIDGE
The fridge helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods. Fresh food care for best results:

• Store foods that are very fresh and of good quality.
• Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing taste and will help maintain freshness. It will also prevent odour transfer.
• Make sure that strong smelling foods are wrapped or covered and stored away from foods such as butter, milk and cream which can be tainted by strong odours.
• Cool hot foods down before placing them in the fridge.

FREEZING AND STORING FOOD IN THE FREEZER
Use the freezer

• To store deep-frozen food.
• To make ice cubes.
• To freeze food.

Note: ensure that the freezer door has been closed properly. Avoid opening the freezer drawers unnecessarily.
Purchasing frozen food

• Packaging must not be damaged.
• Use by the ‘use by/best before/best by/’ date.
• If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer.

Freezing fresh food
Freeze fresh and undamaged food only. To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour and colour, vegetables should be blanched before freezing.
Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching.
Note: keep food to be frozen away from food which is already frozen.

• The following foods are suitable for freezing: cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese and butter, ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts.
• The following foods are not suitable for freezing: types of vegetables, which are usually consumed raw, such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, and mayonnaise.

Packing frozen food
To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place food in airtight packaging.

1. Place food in packaging.
2. Remove air.
3. Seal the wrapping.
4. Label packaging with contents and dates of freezing.

Suitable packaging: plastic film, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminium foil, freezer containers.
Recommended storage times of frozen food in the freezer
These times vary depending on the type of food. The food that you freeze can be preserved from 1 to 12 months (minimum at -18°C).

Butter, vegetables (blanched), eggs whole and yolks, cooked crayfish, minced meat (raw), pork (raw)| 6 months
Fruit (dry or in syrup), egg whites, beef (raw), whole chicken, lamb (raw), fruit cakes| 12 months

Never forget:

• When you freeze fresh foods whit a ‘use by/best before/best by/’ date, you must freeze them before the expiry of this date.
• Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen food that has thawed completely must not be refrozen.
• Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly.

STORAGE GUIDE
For the best storage, set up your refrigerating appliance as follows:

spices, etc.
· Do not store food with a limited shelf life here
Crisper drawer| · Fruits, herbs, and vegetables
· Do not refrigerate bananas, onions, potatoes, or garlic
Middle shelf| · Dairy and eggs
Top shelf| · Food that does not need to be cooked, such as readymade meals, leftovers, spreads, etc.
Freezer compartment| Type of food
---|---
Top drawer| Ice cream, frozen fruit, frozen baked goods
Middle drawer| Frozen vegetables and fries
Bottom drawer| Raw meat, poultry, fish

MOVING THE SHELVES AND DOOR RACK

• Empty the fridge before moving the shelves or the door racks.
• To move a shelf, raise it and pull it towards you.
• To move a door rack, grip it firmly with 2 hands. Raise the door rack and pull it towards you.

LIGHTING
The lighting in the fridge is a LED light. LED lights are more ecological and manufactured for a long life. For this reason, these may not be replaced. If there is a problem with the lighting, contact a qualified service centre in your area.

MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE

If the appliance is turned off for any reason, wait for 10 minutes before turning it back on. This will allow the refrigeration system pressures to equalise before restarting.

• Turn off the appliance and unplug it from the mains socket. Remove all food. Also remove all mobile parts (shelves, accessories, etc.) or fix them into the fridge to avoid any shock.
• Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it standing upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on.

Your appliance uses isobutane (R600a) as a refrigerant. Although R600a is an environmentally friendly and natural gas, it is explosive. Therefore you should be careful during shipment and installation to prevent your appliance’s cooler elements from being damaged. In the event of a leak caused by damage to the cooler elements, move your fridge from open flames or heat sources and ventilate the room where the appliance is located for a few minutes.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.

1. Set the temperature control knob to the “0” position and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
2. Take out the food and store in a cool location.
3. Clean the appliance with a soft cloth, warm water and detergent.
4. Wipe the door seal with clear water only and then wipe dry thoroughly.
5. After cleaning reconnect and adjust the temperature control knob as desired.
6. Put the food back into the appliance.

DEFROSTING THE FRIDGE
The refrigerator defrosts fully automatically. While the cooling is running, beads of condensation or hoarfrost form at the back of the refrigerator. This is normal. It is not necessary to wipe off the condensation or frost. The rear panel defrosts automatically. The condensation runs into the condensation channel and is conveyed to the cooling from where it evaporates.
Note: Keep the condensation channel and drainage hole clean, so that the condensation can run out.

DEFROSTING THE FREEZER
A layer of frost in the freezer will impair refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power consumption. Remove the layer of frost regularly. Do not scrape off frost or ice with a knife or pointed object. Doing this may damage the refrigerant tubes.

1. Remove the frozen food and place temporarily in a cool location.
2. Disconnect the appliance from the mains socket.
3. To accelerate the defrosting process, place a pan of hot water on a stand in the freezer.
4. Wipe up condensation with a cloth or sponge.
5. Wipe dry the freezer compartment.
6. Plug in the appliance and put the frozen food back in the freezer.

VACATION TIME

For short vacation periods, leave the control knobs at their usual settings. During longer absences:

1. Remove all foods.
2. Disconnect from electrical outlet.
3. Clean the refrigerator thoroughly, including defrost pan.
4. Leave door open to avoid possible formations of condensate, mould or odours.

POWER FAILURE

• Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.
• During power failures of longer duration, take steps to protect your food by putting dry ice on top of packages.
• Frozen food should not be affected if the power failure lasts for less than 15 hours.
• Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat.
