Installation and connection

Choosing the site

• Always place the refrigerator in a dry place with satisfactory ventilation. Never expose it to direct sunlight or install it outdoors. Depending on its climate class (stated on the nameplate inside the refrigerator compartment), the appliance can be used in different temperature conditions:
  Class| Ambient temperature
  ---|---
  SN (Subnormal)| from +10°C to +32°C
  N (Normal)| from + 16° C to + 32° C
  ST (Subtropical)| from + 16° C to + 38° C
  T (Tropical)| from + 16° C to + 43° C

• Never place the refrigerator close to heat sources. If this is unavoidable, a suitable insulating panel must be used to allow the appliance to function properly. Otherwise, place the appliance at least 3 cm from electric or gas cookers and at least 30 cm from
  combustion or radiation heating systems.

• To allow proper cooling of the condenser, the refrigerator must not be placed too close to the wall. If the refrigerator is installed underneath a wall cupboard, the distance between the two must be at least 5 cm.

• Take care not to scratch or damage the floor when installing the appliance on parquet or linoleum. If necessary, when positioning slide the refrigerator over pieces of wood or a mat to the point decided for connection to the electrical mains.

Positioning and levelling the appliance
Place the refrigerator on a stable and level floor. In case the floor is not perfectly level, use the two adjustable feet on the front part of the fridge. To ensure major stability, easier movement and a correct positioning of the product, two additional wheels are present at the rear. In any case we recommend moving the fridge very carefully in order to avoid floor damage (especially in case of wooden floor).
Electrical connection
Before switching the refrigerator on for the first time, leave it vertical for at least two hours. Then connect the appliance’s power supply lead to a mains socket with earth contact, installed in accordance with electrical safety regulations. The rated voltage and frequency are stated on the nameplate. The appliance must be connected to the electrical mains and earthed in compliance with the relevant regulations and requirements. The appliance is able to withstand short fluctuations in voltage of no more than 15% less or 10% more than the rated voltage stated on the nameplate. If the power supply lead has to be replaced, this operation must only be carried out by a qualified technician. The socket must be accessible after the appliance has been placed.

Product Description

1. Freezer Compartment
3. Glass shelf
5. Crisper (Vegetable box)| 2. Thermostat Knob
4. Half-width shelf
6. Rack shelves
---|---

There is a freezer compartment in the upper section of the unit that can be closed by a door.
The main storage area is under the freezer compartment.

Before using for the first time
– Remove any exterior and interior packaging materials completely, including the adhesive strips.
– Before it is connected to the mains, the unit must be thoroughly checked for transport damage, including its power cord.
– Clean the unit as described in the section Maintenance and Cleaning.
– To ensure proper functioning, wait for around 2 hours before connecting the unit and switching it on once it has been positioned.
– When the unit is first switched on, a slight smell may be noticed. However, this will disappear once the cooling process has begun.

Arranging foods inside the refrigerator compartment

• Arrange the foods on the various shelves, taking care that they have an airtight wrapping or cover. This precaution will:
  – conserve foods’ fragrance, moisture and freshness;
  – prevent the cross-contamination of foods with different aromas and tastes;
  – prevent the humidity level inside the refrigerator becoming too high because of the normal breathing of food (especially fresh fruit and vegetables). In some operating conditions (rise in ambient temperature and humidity, more frequent opening of the door) this might cause condensation to form on the shelves.

• Use only containers approved for food storage. Always allow hot foods and drinks to cool to room temperature before placing them inside the refrigerator.

• Never store explosive substances in the appliance and only store high-alcohol drinks firmly sealed and vertical.

Setting the operating temperature

Your unit has only one control for regulating the temperature in the compartment. The temperature control is located on the upper right-hand side of the compartment. The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “5”.
The range of the temperature control is from position “0” to “5”. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “3” should be appropriate for home or office use.

To turn the appliance off, turn the temperature control to ”0”.
NOTES: Turning the temperature control to “0” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the power to the unit. If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will not start.
If the refrigerator is not used for a long period of time, proceed as follows:
– Disconnect the refrigerator from the main supply by removing the plug from the wall socket.
– Clean and dry the inside as instructed under the heading of “Maintenance and Cleaning”.
– Leave the door open to prevent any unpleasant smells from building up while the refrigerator is not in use.

Important: Changes in weather conditions (temperature and humidity) and the frequency with which the doors of the two separate compartments are opened may affect the refrigerator’s operating temperatures.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Defrosting

1. When the refrigerator working for a period of time, the inner surface of the refrigerator will be covered with a layer of white frost. It may raise the electricity consumption and lessen the effect of refrigeration. Then you should remove the frost at once.
2. When defrosting, turn the knob to “0” position cut off the power, open the door and move frozen/cooling foods to a shady and cooling place, defrost with a plastic scraper, or let the temperature rise naturally till frost melts. Then wipe away remaining ice and water, and switch on electricity again.
   Notes: Never use sharp metal tools or it will damage the refrigerator.

Warning: the amount of ice which forms on the back wall may vary with changes in weather conditions (temperature and humidity), the frequency with which the door is opened, the appliance’s operating temperatures and the amount of fresh foods stored inside (especially fruit and vegetables).

Cleaning the refrigerator
Clean the device regularly. To do this, please take into account the following guidelines.

• Do not clean the appliance while it is plugged into an outlet.
• Do not use abrasive products to clean the device, it may damage it.
• Use a mild detergent to clean the refrigerator compartments and shelves. Be sure to completely dry all surfaces after cleaning.
• Empty the appliance and clean the inside with a damp cloth.
• The accumulation of dust on the back of the device can prevent it from working optimally and increase its energy consumption. Once a year, carefully remove the dust from the back of the device with a soft brush.

Replacing the refrigerator light bulb
Before changing the bulb, make sure that the light has not stopped working simply because the part inside the lamp socket has become loose. In all cases, whether you wish to check that the socket is connected correctly or change the bulb, for safety reasons the plug must be removed from the power socket.

1. First, unplug the power cord; remove the control panel.
2. Remove the old bulb by unscrewing it by hand in a counter clockwise direction.
