Tips for Energy Savings

• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is hot and humid. Once you open the door, close it as soon as possible. This is especially important if you have an upright model.
• Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance).
• Set the thermostat from higher to lower settings as soon as possible (depends on how loaded the appliance is, ambient temperatures, etc.)
• Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh foods, make sure that they are cooled to ambient temperature. (excluding soups).
• Ice and frost layers increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the frost layer is 1/8- 1/4 inch thick.
• If the gasket is damaged or the door seal is poor, energy consumption is substantially higher. To restore efficiency, replace the gasket.
• Always consider instructions stated in sections Positioning and Energy Saving Tips, otherwise the energy consumption is substantially higher.

Maintenance and Cleaning

The appliance should be cleaned regularly to maintain its efficiency and prolong its lifespan. To clean the appliance, switch it off and unplug it from the power supply. Clean the interior and exterior surfaces with a non- flammable cleaner. Do not use sharp objects to aid in defrosting as this can puncture the refrigerant tubing.

Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice depositing on the inner back wall is defrosted automatically. Ice build-up on the inner back wall during the compressor operation; will (when the compressor has cycled off) defrost automatically Defrost water collects inside the drain through passing through the drain outlet in the inner back wall into a drain pan situated above the compressor, from where it evaporates.

Cleaning the Appliance
Disconnect the power bar before cleaning the appliance. Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning agents as you can damage the surface. Clean the exterior with water and detergent. Remove the detachable accessories in the interior of the appliance and dean with water and liquid detergent. Plastic parts cannot be washed in dishwashers. Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water, adding one or two spoonfuls of vinegar. After cleaning, connect the appliance to power supply and reload it.

Switch Off the Appliance When Not In Use
If you do not intend to use the appliance for long periods of time, (vacations) set the thermostat knob to the STOP (0) position, disconnect the power supply, take out the foods and defrost and clean the appliance. Leave the door slightly open.

Changing the Direction of the Door Opening swing

If you need to change the direction of the door opening, refer to the user manual for instructions on how to do so safely. Your refrigerator has a factory-installed left-hand door swing.

Troubleshooting Guide

If you experience any issues with the appliance, refer to the troubleshooting guide provided in the user manual for solutions. Sometimes you may come across minor problems that in most cases do not require a service call and can be easily eliminated. The problem may have resulted from improper handling and/or installation of the appliance. Please refer to the below troubleshooting guide to assist you in identifying the possible cause and solution to your problem. Should the problem still persist after completing these checkpoints. Contact the closest authorized service agent in your area for assistance.

The Appliance Fails to Operate After Connecting to Electrical Power Supply

• Check the power cord is properly connected.
• Check the power supply in the electrical outlet. (blown fuse / circuit breaker)
• Make sure the appliance is switched on. (thermostat knob in operating position)

Continuous Operation of the Cooling System

• The door is frequently opened or left open for too long.
• The door is not properly closed (the door may sag, the gasket may be damaged).
• Perhaps you may have overloaded the appliance with fresh foods.
• The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor (assure adequate air circulation).

Ice Formation on the Inner Rear
Wall As long as the defrost water runs to the channel and through the outlet to the drain pan on the compressor, automatic defrosting of the appliance is assured. In case the ice formation on the inner back wall is increased (1/8 – 1/4 inches), ice should be manually defrosted. Set the thermostat knob to STOP (0) position and leave the door open. Never use electric devices for defrosting and do not scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp objects.

After defrosting is complete, turn the knob to desired position and close the refrigerator door.The cause of increased ice formation may be one of the following: the door does not seal well (clean the gasket if it is dirty, or replace it if it is damaged);

• the door is frequently opened or left open too long;
• the food stored in the refrigerator was warm;
• the food or dish is touching the inner back wall. Water is Leaking From the Refrigerator If the discharge water outlet is clogged, or the defrost water drips over the channel,

water will leak from the refrigerator.

• Clean the clogged outlet, for example with a plastic straw.
• Manually defrost the increased ice layer. See “Ice Formation on the Inner rear Wall”

Noise
Cooling in a refrigerator-freezing appliance is made possible by cooling the system using a compressor, which will produce certain noise levels. How noisy the appliance is depends on where it is placed.

• During the operation of the compressor the noise of the liquid is heard and when the compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal condition and it has no influence on the lifetime of the appliance.
• After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor and the refrigerant flow may be louder, which does not mean that something is wrong with the appliance and it has no influence on the lifetime of the appliance. Gradually the noise is reduced.
• Sometimes unusual and louder noise is heard, which is rather unusual for the appliance. This noise is often a consequence of inadequate installation.
  • The appliance must be level and installed on a firm solid base/floor.
  • It should not touch the wall or kitchen units standing next to it.
  • Check the accessories on the interior of the appliance, they should be placed correctly in their positions; also check, bottles, tins, and other vessels are not touching each other causing rattling and/or vibrations.
