BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Unpacking

• Remove the shipping box.
• Check that the appliance has not been damaged during transport. Do not plug in a damaged appliance under any circumstances! If the appliance is damaged, please contact your retailer.
• Remove all tape and packaging material on the inside and outside of the appliance.

Before first use

• Clean the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little white wine vinegar added to it. Do not use soap or detergent as the odour may linger. After cleaning, completely dry the appliance.
• You can use white spirit to remove any remaining adhesive from the outside of the appliance.
• To clean the appliance, always turn it off and unplug it, or remove the fuses or flip the circuit breaker to the opposition.

SETUP

Installation location

The appliance’s energy consumption and efficient operation are aPected by the ambient temperature. For this reason, it is important to follow the following recommendations

• Place your refrigerator-freezer on a stable, level surface. Your appliance will be heavy when loaded with food: it must, therefore, be placed on a strong, solid floor.
• The appliance must be installed in a dry, well-ventilated room at room temperature (16°C minimum and 38°C maximum). Make sure you leave a space of at least 10 cm around the appliance.
• Never place an appliance that emits heat (microwaves, toasters, etc.) on the refrigerator.
• The appliance must not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• This appliance must not be exposed to moisture or rain.
• The appliance must not be installed next to a radiator, a stove or any other heat source.
• The appliance must be installed in such a way that the power point is accessible.
• Make sure after installing it that it is not resting on its power cord.
• Leave the appliance in its final location for two hours before plugging it in. This will allow the refrigerant circuit to stabilise.
• WARNING: To avoid any risk, due to instability, the appliance must be secured in accordance with these instructions.

Climate classes

Install the appliance only in a location where the room temperature matches the
climate class for which it was designed (see table below) .
The climate class is on the rating plate located on the outside of the appliance.

The table below shows the correct room temperature for each climate class:

Your refrigerator is “N/ST” classified.If the room temperature is below or above the indicated room temperature, the performance of your refrigerator may be affected, and your food may spoil.

Sufficient ventilation

• Make sure that air can always circulate freely around the appliance.
  

• If your appliance is to be installed next to another refrigerator or freezer, make sure the appliances are not touching each other. This is to prevent condensation from forming on the outside.

Levelling

For vibration-free operation, the appliance needs to be in a level position. To do this, adjust the height adjustable feet at the front to properly level and balance the appliance.

USE

Getting started

• Before plugging the appliance in to the electrical outlet for the first time, please let the appliance rest for two hours, to allow the refrigerant gas to stabilize in the compressor. Not respecting this waiting period may damage the compressor.
• Plug the appliance into an earthed socket.

Setting the temperature

The thermostat is located at the top right of the refrigerator compartment.

Press the “Adjust” button one or more times to adjust the temperature.

• Do not open the doors of the appliance for the first 30 minutes. We recommend leaving the refrigerator running empty (without any food inside) for about 1 to 2 hours (depending on the room temperature).
• The temperature inside the appliance is a function of several factors, such as the
  room temperature, the quantity of food stored, how often the doors are opened, etc.

NOTE: When the thermostat is set to“5“, you may hear the compressor running more often.

Press the “Mode” button one or more times to select “Smart” or “Super” mode.

THE “SMART” MODE
In “Smart” mode, the refrigerator automatically regulates the temperature of the two compartments, based on the internal temperature and the ambient temperature. When the mode indicator light is on, it means that the mode is on.
To deactivate this mode, press the “Mode” button until the indicator light for this mode goes out.

THE “SUPER FREEZING” MODE
In “SUPER” (super freezing) mode, the freezer compartment operates at its lowest temperature for 54 hours. At the end of this period, the temperature that was set before activating this mode is automatically restored.
To activate this mode, press the “Mode” button until the indicator light for this mode comes on.
To deactivate this mode, press the “Mode” button until the indicator light for this mode goes out.

The coldest zone

The symbol opposite indicates the location of the coldest zone of your refrigerator, where the temperature is less than or equal to 4°C. It is located above the fruit and vegetable drawer (see diagram on page 26). Given that the shelves are removable, always keep the shelf, located at the edge of the cold zone, in the position indicated by the sticker. This is to preserve the temperature in this area.

Temperature indicator
For proper food storage in your refrigerator and in particular in the coldest zone, make sure that “OK” temperature indicator appears. If “OK” does not appear, the average temperature of the zone is too high. Set the thermostat to a higher position.

Set the thermostat
Correct temperature

Whenever you adjust the thermostat, wait for the temperature inside the appliance to stabilise before adjusting it again, if necessary. Only change the position of the thermostat gradually and wait at least 12 hours before checking again and possibly changing it.

Note: After loading the appliance with fresh food or after opening the door repeatedly (or leaving it open for a prolonged period), it is normal if the word “OK” does not appear in the temperature indicator; wait at least 12 hours before readjusting the thermostat.

If the evaporator in the refrigerator compartment (back wall of the appliance) becomes abnormally frost-covered (appliance overloaded, high room temperature, high thermostat setting, frequent door openings), gradually turn the thermostat knob back to a lower position until the compressor stops running periodically again.

Storing food in the refrigerator
In a refrigerator, the temperature is not uniform (with the exception of ventilated or stirred cold appliances), which is why there are appropriate areas for each type of food.

Your food will keep better if you place it in the temperature zone that is best suited to the food type in question. Refer to the diagram below forstoring food

1. Dairy products, cheese
2. Meat, cooked meat, fish (coldest area)
3. Fruits and vegetables
4. Butter, eggs (top shell and condiments
5. Bottles and other drinks
6. Frozen food

Storing food in the refrigerator compartment

• Only put fresh food that has been washed and wrapped or put in appropriate containers in the refrigerator. Washed meat and fish should be wrapped in plastic or clingfilm and preferably consumed within two days.
• Fruits and vegetables can be stored directly in the vegetable drawer. It is not necessary to package them separately.
• Never cover the shelves with paper or plastic sheets as this will disrupt the airflow.

Recommendationsfor saving energy

We recommend that you follow the following tips to save energy:

• To prevent the refrigerator temperature from rising, do not open the door more often than necessary and never leave it open for long periods.
• Make sure that the appliance is located away from any heat source (direct sunlight, electric heating, baking trays, etc.).
• Never set the temperature lower than necessary.
• Do not store hot food or liquids that evaporate in the appliance. Hot food and drinks should be allowed to cool to room temperature before placing them in the appliance.
• Do not open the door if there is a power outage.
• Place the appliance in a well-ventilated room without humidity. Please refer to the chapter on installing the appliance.
• Follow the recommendations in the diagram on page 26 showing the correct positioning of the shelves and other compartments of the appliance. This is the ideal position to save energy.
• Make sure that the refrigerator and freezer doors are always closed properly.

Tips for freezing food

• Allow cooked food to cool completely. Refrigerate food in the refrigerator before freezing if possible.
• Think about how you want to cook food before you freeze it.
• Do not freeze food in metal containers if you plan to microwave it right out of the freezer.
• Use freezer bags, polyethylene bags, plastic food storage boxes and aluminium foil for acidic foods (such as citrus fruits). Do not use thin transparent film or glass. Do not use used food containers (unless they have been properly cleaned beforehand).
• Remember to exclude as much air as possible from the container. You can buy a Frozen food must be transported in appropriate packaging to preserve its quality and put in the freezer as soon as possible. When shopping, always buy frozen products last, just before you check out. You can get isothermal bags in the freezer department. These keep frozen foods cold for longer.
• If the frozen food packaging is damp or smells bad, the food inside may not have been stored properly. Throw it out!
• The length of time frozen food will keep depends on the ambient temperature, how many times the freezer door is opened and shut, the temperature setting, the type of food and the time between buying the food and putting it in the freezer. Always follow the instructions on the packaging and never exceed the use by date. special vacuum pump that sucks excess air out of the packaging.
• Leave a small amount of air when freezing liquids to allow for expansion.
• You can use freezer space more efficiently if you freeze liquids (or solids with liquids, such as stew) in rectangular or square blocks.

Storing frozen food in the freezer compartment

• Your refrigerator bears the 4-Star logo ,signifying that it is capable of storing frozen food, freezing fresh food and making ice cubes.
• We recommend waiting for 2 hours after the appliance is switched on before putting fresh food in the freezer compartment. There is no need to wait if the appliance is already running.
• Never put hot food in the freezer as this could cause food that is already in the freezer to go off. Allow it to cool first.
• When you freeze food such as meat, mince, fish, etc., itis a good idea to divide it into separate portions that can be consumed in one go.
• Do not let fresh foods that need to be frozen come into contact with foods that are akeadyfrozen.
• Never refreeze food that has been defrosted. This is a serious health risk which can cause food poisoning.
• When you buy frozen food, make sure it has been frozen properly and that the packaging is not torn.
• You must follow the storage instructions on the packaging when putting away frozen food. If there are no instructions, the food should be consumed as soon as possible.
• Frozen food must be transported in appropriate packaging to preserve its quality and put in the freezer as soon as possible. When shopping, always buy frozen products last, just before you check out. You can get isothermal bags in the freezer department. These keep frozen foods cold for longer.
• If the frozen food packaging is damp or smells bad, the food inside may not have been stored properly. Throw it out!
• The length of time frozen food will keep depends on the ambient temperature, how many times the freezer door is opened and shut, the temperature setting, the type of food and the time between buying the food and putting it in the freezer. Always follow the instructions on the packaging and never exceed the use by date.

Making ice cubes

To make ice cubes, fill an ice cube tray three-quarters full of cold water, and place it in the freezer for more than 2 hours.
To remove the ice cubes, slightly bend the tray or place it under running water for a few seconds.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Defrosting

REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
Your refrigerator’s defrosting system is automatic. The back of the appliance gets covered with frost when the compressor is running and defrosts when the compressor is off. When the frost melts, the water evaporates on its own.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

• The freezer compartment must always be defrosted when the frost layer has reached a thickness of about 4 mm. In all cases, this compartment must be defrosted at least once a year.
• To defrost, use a squeegee or any plastic utensil, but never use metal instruments, de-icing products or electric appliances such as hair dryers, steam cleaners, etc.
• Unplug the appliance before defrosting.

To defrost the appliance:

1. Choose a time when your appliance is not full.
2. Pack frozen foods in a freezer bag and keep them in a cool place.
3. Leave the door open and sponge asthe ice melts.
4. To speed up the defrosting process, you can place a container with hot water in the compartment and close the door.
5. When defrosting is complete, clean your appliance.

Cleaning

Unplug the appliance before cleaning.

We recommend that you regularly clean and disinfect your appliance.

1. Remove frozen food and fresh food from the refrigerator. Wrap frozen food in several layers of newspaper, cover them and store them in a cool place.

2. Defrost the freezer compartment before cleaning.

3. Clean the inside of the appliance and accessories with with lukewarm water with a little white wine vinegar added to it.

4. After cleaning, rinse with clean water and dry the parts thoroughly.

5. Check the discharge outlet on the back wall of the refrigerator (see photo below) to make sure it is not obstructed and clean it out by inserting a cotton swab into the hole if necessary.

6. Once everything is dry, the appliance can be turned back on.

• Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in the electrical components, causing a risk of electric shock! Hot steam can damage plastic parts.
• The door seals must be kept clean at all times. Clean them with hot water and thoroughly dry them.
• Do not clean glass shelves with hot water when they are cold. The glass could break due to sudden changes in temperature and cause personal injury or property damage.
• Never use abrasive or caustic products, or sponges with scouring pads to clean the inside or outside of your appliance.
• In order to avoid any impact on its electrical insulation properties, do not pour water into the appliance to clean it.
• Make sure that no water gets into the light housing or other electrical parts.

IMPORTANT: When the plastic parts of the refrigerator remain stained with oil for a long time (animal or vegetable), they deteriorate easily and can crack. Clean and wash the dirty parts with hot water immediately.
