To guarantee adequate ventilation follow installation instructions.
Insufficient ventilation at the back of the product increases energy consumption and decreases cooling efficiency.
Frequent door opening might cause an increase in Energy Consumption.
The internal temperature of the appliance and the Energy Consumption may be affected also by the ambient temperature, as well as location of the appliance. Temperature setting should take into consideration these factors. Reduce door opening to a minimum.
When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator. The low temperature of the frozen products cools the food in the refrigerator.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance. Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has no impact on the efficient usage of energy. Food should be placed on the shelves in such way to ensure proper air circulation (food should not touch each other and distance between food and rear wall should be kept).
You can increase storage capacity of frozen food by removing baskets and, if present, Stop Frost shelf.
Do not worry about noises coming from the compressor which are normal operation noises.
The Gulf Conformity Marking on the product indicates the conformity with all the requirements of the Gulf Technical Regulation for Low Voltage Electrical Equipment and Appliances BD-142004-01.

HOW TO OPERATE THE APPLIANCE

Thermostat setting

• The thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the fridge. By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be obtained.
• The “ • “ position shows thermostat is closed and no cooling will take place.
• For short-term storage of food in the fridge, you can set the knob between minimum and medium positions (1-3).
• For long-term storage of food in the fridge, you can set knob to the medium position (3-4).Note that: The ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened, affects the temperature in the fridge. If required, change the temperature setting.

Note that : The ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened, affects the temperature in the fridge. If required, change the temperature setting.

• When you first switch on the appliance, you should ideally try to run it without any food in for 24 hours and not open the door. If you need to use it straight away, try not to store a large quantity of food inside it.
• If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting in order not to damage the compressor.
• LARDERS (without star rating): Larders (coolers) do not have a freezer compartment but can cool down to 4 – 6°C.

Warnings about temperature adjustments

• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C in terms of its efficiency.
• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings and the quantity of food kept inside the fridge.
• Your fridge should be operated up to 24 hours according to the ambient temperature without interruption after being plugged in to be completely cooled. Do not open doors of your fridge frequently and do not place much food inside it in this period.
• A 5 minute delaying function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your fridge, when you take the plug off and then plug it on again to operate it or when an energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge will start to operate normally after 5 minutes.
• Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. We do not recommend operating your fridge out of stated temperatures value limits in terms of cooling effectiveness.
• This appliance is designed for use at an ambient temperature within the 16°C – 32°C range.

FOOD STORAGE IN THE APPLIANCE

• The fridge is used for storing fresh food for few days.
• Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator. Leave some space around food to allow the circulation of air.
• Do not place hot food or evaporating liquid in the refrigerator.
• Always make sure food is wrapped or stored in closed containers.
• To reduce humidity and avoid formation of frost, never place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator.
• We recommend that you loosely wrap meat and store it on the glass shelf just above the vegetable bin, where the air is cooler.
• Store fruit and vegetable items loose in the crisper containers.
• To prevent the cold air escaping, try not to open the door too often, and not leave the door open for a long time.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.
• Do not clean the appliance by pouring water.
• Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical components.
• The refrigerator should be cleaned periodically using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
• Clean the accessories separately with soap and water Do not clean them in the dishwasher.
• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When you have finished cleaning, reconnect the plugto the mains supply with dry hands.
• Clean the condenser with a broom at least twice a year. This will help you to save on energy costs and increase productivity.

THE POWER SUPPLY MUST BE DISCONNECTED.

Defrosting

• Defrosting occurs automatically in the fridge during operation; the water is collected by the evaporation tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporation tray and the water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting at the bottom of the fridge instead of flowing out.
• You can also clean the drain hole by pouring ½ glass of water down it.

Replacing the light bulb
When replacing the bulb of the fridge;

• Unplug the unit from the power supply,
• Press the hooks on the sides of the light cover top and remove the light cover
• Change the present light bulb with a new one of not more than 15 W.
• Replace the light cover and after waiting 5 minutes plug the unit.

Replacing LED Lighting
If your fridge has LED lighting contact the help desk as this should be changed by authorized personnel only.

TRANSPORTATION AND CHANGING OF IN-STALLATION POSITION

Transportation and changing of Installation position

• The original packages and foamed polystyrene (PS) can be retained if required.
• During transportation, the appliance should be secured with a wide string or a strong rope. The instructions written on the corrugated box must be followed while transporting.
• Before transporting or changing the installation position, all the moving objects (ie,shelves,crisper…) should be taken out or fixed with bands in order to prevent them from getting damaged.

Carry your fridge in the upright position.

BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE

If your fridge is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore check the following.
The appliance does not operate, Check if:

• There is a power failure.
• The mains plug is not plugged in properly, or is loose.
• The thermostat setting is on position ““.
• The socket is defective. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know is working into the same socket.

The appliance performs poorly, Check if:

• You have overloaded the appliance.
• The door is not closed properly.
• There are not enough ventilation ducts in the kitchen unit as mentioned in the installation manual.

If there is noise:
The cooling gas which circulates in the fridge circuit may make a slight noise (bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry, this is quite normal. If you hear different sounds, check if:

• The appliance is installed firmly as described in the installation manual.
• Objects on the appliance are vibrating.

If there is water in the lower part of the fridge, Check if:

• The drain hole for water is not clogged (use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole).

Recommendations

• When there is no power, to prevent any damage to the compressor, you should unplug the refrigerator. You should delay pluging in 5 – 10 minutes after power is restored.
• If you unplug the refrigerator for any reason you should wait at least 5 min to replug. This will avoid damage to the refrigerator’s components.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden at the rear of the appliance. Therefore, water droplets or icing may form on the rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the compressor at specified intervals. This is normal, there is no need to perform a defrosting operation unless the icing is excessive.
• If you do not intend to use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays), turn the thermostat to the «•» position. After defrosting, clean your fridge and leave the door open to prevent humidity and smells.
• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult to the nearest Authorised Service Centre.
• The appliance you have purchased is designed for domestic use and can only be used at home and for the stated purposes. It is not suitable for commercial or common use. If the consumer uses the appliance in a way that does not comply with this, we emphasise that the manufacturer and the dealer will not be responsible for any repair and failure within the guarantee period.

Tips for saving energy

• Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room , but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat source (radiator, cooker … etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
• Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
• Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise humidity increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.
• Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
• Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller … etc ) closed
• Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
