3. INSTALLATION

3.1 INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE

Before installing the appliance, carefully review the safety information (chapter 1).

1. Unpack

Remove the packaging materials and dispose of them properly. Check that the appliance is not damaged. Do not connect the appliance if it is damaged. Report any damage immediately to the salesperson via customer service. In that case, keep the packaging.

2. Location

• The location where you place your appliance should be well ventilated.
• Always move the appliance with two people. Use two hands when moving, lifting or turning the appliance.
• Do not place the appliance near a heat source, such as a stove or boiler, and avoid direct sunlight, so as to guarantee the cooling effect and save on energy consumption.
• Do not place the appliance in a damp place so that it cannot rust and there is no leakage current.
• Do not use the appliance outdoors. This appliance is only intended for use indoors.

3. Installation of the appliance

• This appliance is not intended for use as a built-in appliance.
• Use only the original accessories provided for the installation.
• To reverse the direction in which the door opens, go to section 3.2.
• During operation, the appliance emits heat to the environment. Therefore there must be at least 5 cm clearance on the top, at least 10 cm on both sides and at least 5 cm on the back of the appliance (see also section 2.1).
• Use the front adjusting legs to level the appliance. If the appliance is not level, it is possible that the door may not close properly, reducing the cooling performance of the appliance. If the appliance is not level, this can also lead to malfunctions.
• Make sure that the power cable is not stuck or damaged during installation or positioning the appliance.
• It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply. The plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.
• Always place the appliance on a moisture-resistant and dry surface.
• Place the appliance on a firm and flat surface (floor) so that it is stable, otherwise vibrations and noise may occur. When placing the appliance on floor coverings such as carpets, straw mats or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), place a solid sheet or cover under the appliance to prevent colour change due to heat dissipation.

4. Clean

Before putting the appliance into use, clean the interior and all associated accessories with lukewarm water and neutral soap. Dry everything carefully. Do not use solvents or abrasive powders; these may damage the coating.

5. Wait

On first installation (or after turning the door) wait at least four hours before plugging in the appliance. This allows the oil to flow back into the compressor.

6. Switch on

Before plugging in the power cable, check that the voltage and frequency of the type plate match your power supply network. Only connect the appliance to an earthed power socket. After one hour, open the door of the appliance. If the temperature in the appliance is noticeably lower, this indicates that the cooling system is operating normally.

7. Mounting accessories

– Adjustable shelves
The walls of the appliance are equipped with a series of guide profiles so that the shelves can be inserted if desired.
– Installing the door compartments

To store food of different sizes, the door compartments can be set to different heights. Proceed as follows: gradually pull the compartment in the direction of the arrows until it comes loose and put it in the desired position.

8. Storing food

See Section 4 “Use”.

3.2 REVERSE THE DIRECTION IN WHICH THE DOOR OPENS

To remove the door, the appliance must be tilted backwards. We recommend doing this with two people. Rest the appliance on a firm surface so that it does not slip away as you reverse the door.
Keep all removed parts to remount the door later.

Do not lay the appliance down flat. This can damage the cooling system. If the appliance does have to be placed on its back or side for some time during this process, it must be able to stand upright for four hours before connecting it to prevent damage to the internal components.

Necessary tools:

1. Unplug and empty the appliance.
2. Open the door and unscrew the top hinge from the right-hand side of the worktop. Remove the door of the appliance. Remove the screws on the left-hand side of the worktop.

These are used later to secure the top hinge.

3. Remove the screws according to the drawing and remove the top hinge.
4. Carefully remove the door by moving it towards you and lifting it off the lower hinge. Place the door on a safe location.

5. In order to remove the hinge at the bottom, you must lift the larder backwards (max. 45°).Remove the adjustable foot to the left, by fully unscrewing it.Remove the screws while supporting the lower hinge.

Remove the lower hinge.

6. Before placing the lower hinge on the other side, the pin of the hinge must be removed and the direction of the hinge must be turned around (from 1 to 2).

7. Place the lower hinge on the other side with the screws. Also place the adjustable foot on the correct location. Place the door against the appliance and make sure the bottom side is properly placed on the lower hinge.

8. Attach the upper hinge on the other side with the screws. Place the top on the appliance and fasten it with the screws at the rear. Check that the door is properly aligned, both horizontally and vertically, before the lower hinge is fully tightened.

9. Level the appliance with the adjustable feet. Allow the appliance to rest for 2 to 3 hours before inserting the plug in the socket.

4. USE

Carefully review the safety information (Section 1) before you start using the appliance.

4.1 SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

You can set the temperature of the appliance by turning the thermostat button.

• The thermostat can be set between 1 and 7.
• 1 is the warmest setting.
• 7 is the coldest setting.
• The recommended setting is 4.
• Turn the dial to 0 to turn the appliance off.

The internal temperature of the appliance may vary due to the ambient temperature, the amount of products stored and the frequency with which the door is opened.
Under normal operating conditions we recommend setting the temperature to 4. In summer, when the ambient temperature is high, we recommend setting the temperature to 3-4.
In winter, when the ambient temperature is low, we recommend setting the appliance to 5-6.

4.2 TIPS FOR DAILY USE

Cooling food

• Always refer to the expiry date of the products to know how long they can be stored.
• Pack food in resealable plastic bags, especially if it has a strong taste, and place on the glass shelves above the crisper drawer. Store food only one or at most two days in this way.
• Store raw meat and fish in appropriate food containers in the refrigerator so that it does not leak or come into contact with other foods.
• Do not place hot food or hot plastic parts in the appliance. Make sure it has cooled to room temperature before putting it in the appliance.
• Cooked food that has cooled sufficiently must be covered and can then be placed on any shelf.
• Do not place foods containing a lot of water too close to the back wall of the refrigerator to prevent them from freezing to the inner wall.
• It is best to clean and dry food before storing it in the appliance. It is advisable to store food in sealed packaging in the appliance. This prevents evaporation of water, which keeps fruit and vegetables fresh and also prevents odours.

4.3 SAVING ENERGY

• The most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the drawers in the lower part of the appliance and with the shelves evenly distributed. The position of the door trays does not affect energy consumption.
• Do not open the door or leave it open more often than necessary.
• Do not set the temperature too high to save energy unless the characteristics of the food require it.
• If the ambient temperature is high, the temperature control is set to a low temperature and the appliance is fully filled, the compressor can be on continuously, causing ice to form on the evaporator. In this case, set the temperature control to a higher temperature to enable automatic defrosting to save energy.
• Ensure proper ventilation. Do not cover the vents or holes.
• Replace the door gasket in good time to prevent poor door closing.

ATTENTION!

• The manufacturer’s storage recommendations must be strictly followed. Please refer to the respective instructions.
• Do not keep the door open for too long; this can cause a sharp increase in temperature in the compartments of the appliance.

NOTE

Once in use, it is best to use the appliance continuously. Under normal circumstances it is best not to interrupt its use in order not to affect the lifetime of the appliance.

INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR CLEANING

• Food residues in the appliance can cause a bad smell. The appliance should therefore be cleaned regularly.
• Remove all drawers, shelves, door compartments etc. and clean with a soft cloth or sponge moistened with warm water or a neutral detergent.
• If you are using cleaning agents, clean with a soft cloth or sponge, and wipe dry.
