USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

Before using the appliance for the first time, you should proceed as follows: carefully unpack the appliance and remove all packaging material and any promotional stickers.  keep the packaging (plastic bags, polystyrene, and cardboard) out of the reach of children. After unpacking the appliance, carefully check it for external damage that may have occurred during transport. Place the appliance on a sturdy, flat surface and make sure there is enough space all around for sufficient ventilation. A minimum space of 5 cm is required between the appliance and the surrounding walls. In this way, the appliance is able to release heat properly, cool well, and function in an energy-efficient way.

• You can use the adjustable feet to the left and right to level the appliance.
• Turn the adjustable feet clockwise to lower the appliance.
• Turn the adjustable feet counter-clockwise to raise the appliance.

Do not place the appliance near heat sources such as central heating or a stove. Do take note of the climate class of the appliance. When placed in a room that is too cold, the refrigerator will not function properly.
After placing the appliance, leave it for at least 3 hours before inserting the plug in the socket.
First, clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm soapy water with, for instance, washing-up liquid, all-purpose cleaner or soda. Wipe the inside of the appliance after cleaning with clean water and properly wipe everything dry. Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours.

USE

The control unit of the appliance is located on the inside. Check that the thermostat is off [0]. Check that the voltage corresponds with the voltage stated on the information plate and insert the plug into the socket.
Adjusting the temperature
By means of the thermostat, you are able to switch on the appliance and change the temperature in the refrigerator.
The possible positions of the thermostat:

Set the temperature with the thermostat knob and select a position between 1 and 7. We recommend setting the appliance to position 3-4. The appliance will now cool continuously until the set temperature has been reached. Allow the appliance to reach the set temperature, before filling it with food. Usually, this will take 2 to 3 hours. After that, you can set the thermostat to the required position and fill the appliance with food.
To switch off the appliance, set the thermostat to the [0] position and remove the plug from the socket.
Recommended temperature setting
The ambient temperature affects the operation of the compressor. To prevent the compressor from running continuously (in the summer) or not switching on at all (in the winter), we recommend adjusting the thermostat to the ambient temperature.

Attention:
The ambient temperature, the frequency of opening the door and the position of the appliance have an effect on the temperature in the appliance. Take this into account when setting the thermostat.

• Do not place hot food in the appliance.
• You should never place hazardous, highly flammable or explosive substances such as alcohol, acetone or petrol in the appliance because there will be a hazard of explosion.
• Carefully package meat and fish to prevent unpleasant smells.
• Do not place food against the rear wall of the appliance.
• Leave sufficient space between the different foods, to allow the air to circulate properly.
• Do not leave the door open for longer than necessary.

TIPS

• A high ambient temperature will have a negative effect on energy consumption. Direct sunlight and other heat sources near the appliance also have a negative effect.
• Keep ventilation holes free. Covered and dirty holes cause higher energy consumption. Ensure sufficient space around the larder, so that proper ventilation and airflow around the appliance is possible.
• Do not open the door of the appliance more often than necessary and leave the door open as briefly as possible.
• The distance between the shelves and the rear wall ensures free air circulation. Do not place food against the rear wall.
• Set the thermostat to a lower setting if circumstances allow.
• Allow cooked food that you want to store in the appliance to cool down to room temperature before placing it in the appliance.
• Frost or ice will increase power consumption. Therefore, these should be removed regularly once they are 3 to 5 mm thick.
• A door rubber that does not close properly could increase power consumption.
• If the instructions are not observed, this could lead to higher power consumption.

Observe the following instructions to prevent food from getting contaminated

• When the door remains open for a longer period of time, the temperature in the compartments of the appliance could rise significantly.
• Clean surfaces that could come in contact with food and regularly clean accessible discharge systems.
• Store raw meat and raw fish in suitable packaging in the refrigerator, so they cannot come in contact with other food or leak liquid on other food.
• Freezer compartments with two stars are suitable for storing already frozen food, storing or making ice and making ice cubes.
• Compartments with one, two or three stars are not suitable for freezing fresh food.

• If the refrigerator remains empty for a longer period of time, switch it off, defrost, clean and dry it and leave the door open to prevent the formation of mold in the appliance.

Cleaning the water dispenser (specifically for products with a water dispenser):

• Clean the water tanks if they have not been used for 48 hours; fully flush the water system if no water has been tapped for 5 days.

WARNING – Package food in bags and liquids in bottles or another leak- proof packaging. As a result, the refrigerator requires less cleaning.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Regularly clean the refrigerator to guarantee proper function. Before cleaning the appliance, switch it off by switching off the thermostat [0] and removing the plug from the wall socket.
DEFROSTING
Defrost the appliance when the layer of ice has reached a thickness of 3 to 5 mm. Switch off the thermostat knob [0] and remove the plug from the socket. Remove all food from the refrigerator. Store any frozen products in a cool location, packaged in newspapers and blankets. Place a receptacle under the appliance and wait for the ice to defrost. Defrosting can be accelerated by placing a tray with hot water in the appliance. Remove ice using a plastic ice scraper.
Warning: Never remove ice with sharp objects, defrosting sprays, a hair dryer, a heater, or something similar. This could lead to unsafe situations and cause irreparable damage to the appliance.
lean the interior of the appliance. Use warm soapy water with a neutral cleaning agent to prevent nasty smells. Wipe the inside of the refrigerator after cleaning with clean water and properly wipe everything dry. Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours. The shelves, vegetable drawer, and door compartments can be removed from the refrigerator easily and washed by hand. The components may not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet and into a container from which it evaporates. The drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the refrigerator instead of flowing out.
For areas in the refrigerator that are difficult to clean, such as small openings or corners, it is recommended to wipe them clean regularly with a soft cloth or brush. If necessary, a tool can be used, such as thin sticks (cocktail sticks, for example), to make sure no contamination can occur in these areas. Clean the outside of the refrigerator and the door rubbers with a soft damp cloth.
Clean the rear of the refrigerator at least once per year with a vacuum cleaner so that the condenser and ventilation holes remain clean and the refrigerator is able to function as optimally as possible.
Do not use hard brushes, steel wool, abrasives (such as toothpaste), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline products to clean the refrigerator, as this could damage the surface and interior of the refrigerator. Boiling water and benzene could deform or damage plastic components.
REPLACING THE LED LAMP
This appliance has been provided with a LED lamp. This lamp lasts for a longer period of time. When the LED lamp in the appliance is broken, you are not able to replace it yourself. Contact the Tomado service department.
