BEFORE USE

• This refrigerator includes a packaging designed to protect it during transport. Take the refrigerator out of the box. You can keep the original box and other elements in a safe place, this will help you prevent product damage when transporting it in the future. In case the original packaging is disposed of, make sure all packaging materials are recycled accordingly.

• Make sure all parts and components are included and in good conditions. If there is any piece missing or not in good condition, immediately contact the official Cecotec Technical Support Service.
  Levelling

• Make sure you level your refrigerator with the front levelling feet. If it is not levelled, the refrigerator performance will be affected, or it can even cause a malfunction.

• After installing the refrigerator, wait 4 hours before using it to allow the refrigerant to stabilise.

INSTALLATION

The location you choose for the refrigerator must be properly ventilated and away from heat sources. Do not place the refrigerator near heat sources, like a cooker, and avoid direct sunlight to ensure the cooling effect and save on energy consumption. It is not recommended to place the refrigerator in a wet place, as it may rust and cause electrical leakage.
During operation, the refrigerator releases heat into the environment. Therefore, you should leave at least 300 mm of free space at the top, more than 100 mm on both sides, and more than 50 mm at the rear of the refrigerator.

Please note
Figure 2 only illustrates the space required for the refrigerator.
Stable surface
Place the refrigerator on a solid, flat surface to keep it stable, otherwise vibrations and noises will occur.
Ensure a ventilation free of obstacles around the refrigerator.
Preparing for use
Waiting time
Once the refrigerator is installed and clean, do not turn it on immediately, wait at least 4 hours before connecting it to the power supply.
Cleaning
Check the position of the shelves and drawers in the interior of the refrigerator and clean the interior with a soft cloth.
Switch-on
Connect the plug into a power socket to switch on the refrigerator. After one hour, open the freezer compartment door: if the temperature inside the freezer compartment has dropped, the cooling system is running normally.
Food storage

• Once the refrigerator is running, insert the food.
• When the temperature is high, food may take longer to cool down completely (try to open the refrigerator doors as infrequently as possible).
  If the refrigerator is installed in a wet place, you must check the earthed cord and the leakage breaker are working normally. If vibration noises occur due to contact of the refrigerator

with the wall or if the wall turns black due to air convection around the compressor, keep the refrigerator further away from the wall.
The installation of the refrigerator may cause noise interference or image problems in mobile phones, landline phones, radio receivers, or televisions near the refrigerator, so in this case, keep the refrigerator as far away from these objects as possible.

INSTRUCTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE

Use precautions

• The refrigerator may not operate consistently (there may be some defrosting of the contents, or the temperature may become too hot in the freezer compartment if placed in locations with a temperature out of the temperature range for which they are designed for a long period of time).
• The internal temperature may be affected by factors such as the location of the refrigerator, room temperature, and door opening frequency, etc., and you should take these factors into account if you decide to use any temperature-ontrol devices.
• Effervescent or carbonated drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartment or drawer of the refrigerator.

Food location

• Due to the circulation of cold air in the refrigerator, the temperature in each zone is different, so food must be placed in different zones.
• The refrigerator compartment is suitable to store food that does not need to be frozen, cooked food, beer, eggs, some seasonings that need to be kept cold, milk, fruit juice, etc. The crisper drawer is the best place to store fruit and vegetables.
• The freezer compartment is suitable to store ice cream, frozen foods, and foods that need to be kept for a long time.

Using the refrigerator compartment

• Shelves: to remove the shelves, first lift them up and then pull them out; to put them back, put them into their position before lowering them. Keep the rear edge of the shelf facing upwards to prevent food from coming into contact with the wall. When removing and fitting shelves, hold them firmly and handle them carefully to avoid damage.
• Refrigerator-compartment drawer: pull out the fruit and vegetable crisper drawer to access the food. After using or cleaning the bottom shelf of the refrigerator (the drawer cover), put it back in place so that the internal temperature of the drawer is not affected.

Drawer humidity control

• The humidity regulator of the drawer is designed to keep moisture steady and the vegetable freshness.
• If you slide the humidity regulator to the right, more gaps will be exposed, and the drawer will have a lower humidity level.
• If you slide the humidity regulator to the left, less gaps will be exposed, and the drawer will have a higher humidity level.

Care for food storage

• Clean and dry food completely before storing it in the refrigerator. Before introducing food
  in the refrigerator, it is advisable to seal it to prevent water evaporation and thus keep fruit and vegetables fresh on the one hand, and to prevent odours on the other.

• Leave enough space between the food; if they are too close together, they will block the flow of cold air, which will affect the cooling effect. Do not store too much or too heavy food to prevent the shelves from bending. When storing food, leave a distance from the interior wall; do not place water-rich food too close to the inner wall of the refrigerator to prevent it from freezing on the interior wall.

• Food storage by category: place daily food items at the front of the shelf so that you can reduce the door opening time and avoid food spoilage due to expiry.

• Energy saving tips: let hot food cool down to room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator. Place frozen food in the refrigerator compartment to defrost it.

Storing fruits and vegetables
Please note that some types of fresh vegetables and fruits are sensitive to cold and therefore not suitable for storage in the refrigerator crisper drawer.
Using the freezer compartment
The temperature of the freezer compartment is kept at -18ºC, so it is advisable to store food that you wish to keep for a long period of time in the freezer compartment, always respecting the storage time indicated on the food packaging.
The freezer-compartment drawers are suitable to store food which needs to be frozen. Large fish and meat should be cut into small pieces and placed in freezer bags before placing them in the freezer-compartment drawers.

• Let hot food cool down to room temperature before putting it in the freezer compartment.
• Do not place a glass container with liquid or sealed canned liquid in the freezer compartment to prevent them from exploding due to volume expansion after freezing the liquid.
• Divide food into small portions.
• Food should be packed or covered with suitable materials that are firm, tasteless, impermeable to air and water, non-toxic, and non-polluting to avoid cross-contamination and Odour transfer.

Using the ice cube tray
Place the ice cube tray in the upper part of the freezer compartment so that it freezes as quickly as possible.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

If the refrigerator is not to be used for a long period of time:

• Turn off the refrigerator and unplug it from the power supply.
• Remove all the food.
•  Clean and dry the interior completely. To prevent mould or unpleasant odors, leave the door slightly open: lock it open or remove it if necessary.
• Store the device in a ventilated and dry place, away from heat sources; place the appliance carefully and do not place heavy objects on it.
• The unit must be kept out of the reach of children to prevent them from playing with it.

Before cleaning, disconnect the power plug; do not connect or disconnect the power plug with your hands wet, as there is a risk of electric shock and injury. Do not spill water directly on the refrigerator to avoid rust, electrical leakage and accidents. Do not reach into the bottom of the refrigerator, as you may get scratched by the sharp metal corners.
Cleaning the interior and exterior

• Food residues in the refrigerator can cause undesired odours, so you should clean the refrigerator regularly. The refrigerator compartment should be cleaned once a month.
• Remove all shelves, the crisper box, etc., and clean them with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with warm water or neutral detergent.
• Clean the dust that accumulates on the rear panel and side panels of the refrigerator regularly.
• After using neutral detergent, make sure you rinse it with clean water, and then dry it with a cloth.
  Do not use bristle brushes, steel wire brushes, detergent, soap powder, alkaline detergent, benzine, petrol, acid, hot water, or other corrosive elements to clean the refrigerator surface, door gasket, plastic decorative parts, etc. to avoid damage.
  Carefully dry the door gasket and clean the slot with a wooden stick wrapped with cotton. After cleaning, fix the four corners of the door gasket and then gradually push it into the slot in the door.

Power failure or cooling system fault
– If you receive an early power failure warning:

1. Activate the fast freeze function, so that food is completely frozen. Set the temperature back to the original setting when the power supply returns to normal.

Note:
It is advisable to run the refrigerator uninterruptedly once you start using it.
Defrost
This refrigerator includes an automatic defrost function, so there is no need to defrost it manually.
Replacing the light bulb
The refrigerator has a LED light with low consumption and a long shelf life. In case of malfunction, contact the official Technical Support Service of Cecotec. The light bulb can only be replaced by the manufacturer.
