BEFORE INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE

Before connecting your fridge to the power supply, check that the voltage stated on the rating label of your appliance corresponds to the voltage in your home. A different voltage could damage the appliance.
The plug is the only way to unplug the appliance and should therefore be accessible at all times. To turn off main power to the appliance, turn it off and then detach the plug from the outlet.
The appliance must be grounded. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages that may occur as a result of usage without grounding.

INSTALLATION

Install the appliance in a dry, well-ventilated room. The installation location should neither be exposed to direct sunlight nor near a heat source, e.g. a cooker, radiator, etc.
To ensure adequate ventilation for the appliance, allow a minimum of 10 cm of airspace on each side of the cabinet.

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE

This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperature between 16ºC and 38ºC. If these temperatures are exceeded, i.e. colder or warmer, the appliance will not operate correctly. If the ambient temperatures are exceeded for long periods, the temperature in the fridge will rise above 4ºC and food spoilage may occur.

BEFORE PLACING FOOD IN THE FRIDGE

Remove all packing.
Allow the appliance to run empty for 2-3 hours so the compartments can cool to the appropriate temperature.
Clean the inside of the appliance with warm water and little liquid detergent to remove manufacturing and transportation dust.

MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE

If the appliance is turned off for any reason, wait for 10 minutes before turning it back on. This will allow the refrigeration system pressures to equalize before restarting.

Turn off the appliance and unplug it from the mains socket. Remove all food.
Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it standing upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on.

Your appliance uses isobutane (R600a) as a refrigerant. Although R600a is an environmentally friendly and natural gas, it is explosive. Therefore, you should be careful during shipment and installation to prevent your appliance’s cooler elements from being damaged. In the event of a leak caused by damage to the cooler elements, move your fridge from open flame or heat sources and ventilate the room where the appliance is located for a few minutes.

SRORING FOOD IN THE FRIDGE COMPARTMENT

The fridge compartment helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods.

FRESH FOOD CARE
For best results:

Store foods that are very fresh and of good quality.
Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing taste and will help maintain freshness. It will also prevent odour transfer.
Make sure that strong smelling foods are wrapped or covered and stored away from foods such as butter, milk and cream which can be tainted by strong odours.
Cool hot foods down before placing them in the fridge compartment.

DAIRY FOODS AND EGGS

Most pre-packed dairy foods have a recommended use by/best before/ best by/ date stamped on them. Store them in the fridge compartment and use within the recommended time.
Butter can become tainted by strong smelling foods so it is best stored in a sealed container.
Eggs can be stored in the egg tray of the fridge compartment.

RED MEAT

Place fresh red meat on a plate and loosely cover with waxed paper, plastic wrap or foil.
Store cooked and raw meat on separate plates. This will prevent any juice lost from the raw meat from contaminating the cooked product.

POULTRY

Fresh whole birds should be rinsed inside and out with cold running water, dried and placed on a plate. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or foil.
Poultry pieces should also be stuffed until just before cooking, otherwise food poisoning may result.

FISH AND SEAFOOD

Whole fish and fillets should be used on the day of purchase. Until required, refrigerate on a plate loosely covered with plastic wrap, waxed paper or foil.
If storing overnight or longer, take particular care to select very fresh fish. Whole fish should be rinsed in cold water to remove loose scales and dirt and then patted dry with paper towels. Place whole fish or fillets in a sealed plastic bag.
Keep shellfish chilled at all times. Use within 1-2 days.

PRECOOKED FOODS AND LEFTOVERS

These should be stored in suitable covered containers so that the food will not dry out.
Keep for only 1-2 days.
Reheat leftovers only once and until steaming hot.

VEGETABLE AND FRESH FRUIT

The vegetable container is the optimum storage location for fresh fruit and vegetables.
Take care not to store the following at temperatures of less than 7ºC for long periods: citrus fruit, passion fruit, cucumber, peppers, tomatoes.
Undesirable changes will occur at low temperatures such as softening of the flesh, browning and/or accelerated decaying.
Do not refrigerate avocados (until they are ripe), bananas, mangoes.

DOOR CONVERSION

If you need to hinge your door on the opposite side it is recommended that you call your local authorized service agent to make this conversion or ask a technician.
Before you reverse the door, you should ensure the appliance is unplugged and empty. It is recommended to use a crosshead screwdriver and a spanner (both not supplied).

HANDLE INSTALLATION

TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

For the most energy efficient use of your appliance:

Ensure your fridge freezer has adequate ventilation as recommended in the installation instructions.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.
Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator compartment and use the low temperature of the frozen food to cool refrigerated food.
Keep door openings to minimum.
Open the appliance as briefly as possible.
Ensure that the fridge and freezer doors are always closed properly.

OPERATING NOISES
