SUPERSTRUCTURE

Place the unit in a dry and adequately ventilated room. Ensure a safe stand on a dry and non-slip surface.
Place the back of the unit at least 10 cm from the wall to ensure sufficient air circulation at all times. There should be at least 30 cm space above the device; 2 cm to each side.

Make sure that the mains plug is always freely accessible and can be easily disconnected from the mains.
Set up the shelves of the refrigerator so that the distances correspond to the height of your goods.

Nach Lieferung bzw. einem Transport des Gerätes, schließen Sie dieses erst an, nachdem das Gerät für mindestens 24 Stunden stillgestanden hat. Dies ist unbedingt notwendig, damit sich das Kühlmittel im Kompressor sammeln kann.

After delivery or transport of the device, connect it only after the device has been stationary for at least 24 hours. This is absolutely necessary so that the coolant can collect in the compressor.

CONNECTION

Connect the device only to a grounded safety socket and a 230 volt connection. _
_Before connecting the device, make sure that the voltage and frequency of the power supply correspond to the information on the type plate! Other voltages can lead to overheating of the device!
If you have connected the device, wait about one hour so that the interior can cool down sufficiently before loading it with goods.
After a power failure or if the device has been disconnected from the power supply, wait at least 5 minutes before reconnecting the device and putting it into operation!
If the unit is restarted immediately after it has been switched off, the fuse may trip and the current flow may be interrupted. In addition, the compressor may be overloaded and damaged.

OPERATION

__ To save energy and prevent cold air from escaping, only keep the door open as long as necessary.
This unit has a recirculation fan which ensures that the cold air circulates inside.
The distances between the shelves and the door serve for air circulation. Therefore, when storing your goods, make sure that the air can circulate freely and that no goods protrude or the fan is covered by goods. Distribute the goods homogeneously over the shelves.

CLEANING

__ Clean the housing and the interior with a soft, dry cloth. If heavy soiling has to be removed, use a cloth moistened with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent. Make sure that no water gets into the unit. Wipe thoroughly with a dry cloth to dry the surfaces.

Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaning agents! Do not use alcoholic or alkaline cleaning agents, thinners, or petrol. This could damage the plastic parts or painted surfaces! Never use hot water to clean the unit!

__DEFROST/ CONDENSATION WATER DRIP TRAY

The units have an automatic defrost function. The condensation water is collected in a collecting tray. The water in the drip pan evaporates automatically. If the air humidity is high, a certain amount of water may collect in the drip pan. Empty them once a day.

TIPS AND INFORMATION

In the event of a power failure open the refrigerator door only if absolutely necessary. Do not add any new, uncooled goods during this time.

If the refrigerator will not be used for a long time, remove all goods

from the refrigerator and disconnect it from the power supply by disconnecting the power plug.
Clean the interior and then dry it thoroughly to prevent the formation of odours and mould. Afterwards, keep the door open to ensure that there is no moisture in the interior.

If the refrigerator needs to be transported , disconnect it from the power supply by unplugging the power cord. During transport, make sure that the feet of the refrigerator do not damage the power cable and that they do not touch anything during transport.

If the refrigerator is stored temporarily

, get a small piece of wood or something similar, which you attach between refrigerator door and interior to prevent that the door can close completely!
