PRIOR TO FIRST USE

• 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, 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 10 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 level 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 in position OFF. Check that the voltage corresponds with what is stated on the information plate and insert the plug in the socket.
• Adjusting the temperature
• By means of the thermostat you are able to turn the appliance on and change the temperature in the refrigerator.
• The possible positions of the thermostat:
  • Position OFF – no cooling, power on
  • Position COOL – highest temperature, least cold
  • Position NORMAL – optimum temperature
  • Position COOLER – lowest temperature, coldest
• Set the temperature with the thermostat and select a position between COOL and COOLER. We recommend setting the appliance to position NORMAL. The appliance will now cool continuously until the set temperature has been reached. Allow the appliance to reach the required temperature with no 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 the appliance off, set the thermostat to position OFF and unplug the appliance.
• 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 items in contact with the cold wall at the back 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

• High ambient temperatures have a negative effect on energy use. Keep the appliance in a position away from direct sunlight or other sources of heat.
• Keep ventilation openings free. Clogged openings lead to higher use of energy.
• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, mind to close it as soon as possible.
• Turn the thermostat to a lower setting when the circumstances allow it.
• Before storing fresh cooked food, make sure the food has cooled at least to room temperature.
• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3 to 5 mm thick.
• If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is poor, the energy consumption is substantially higher. To restore efficiency, replace the gasket.
• Always consider the instructions, otherwise the energy consumption is substantially higher.

To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions

• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
• Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.
• Two-star frozen-food compartments are suitable for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making ice-cream and making ice cubes.
• One-, two- and three-start compartments are not suitable for the freezing of fresh food.

dairy products, cakes, drinks and other foods are not suitable for freezing.

• Water dispenser cleaning (special for water dispenser products):
• Clean water tanks if they have not been used for 48 h; flush the water system connected to a water supply if water has not been drawn for 5 days.
• WARNING -Food needs to be packed in bags before putting into the refrigerator, and liquids need to be packed in bottles or capped containers to avoid the problem that the product design structure is not easy to clean.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Regularly clean the refrigerator to ensure proper operation. Before cleaning, switch off the appliance by setting the thermostat to position OFF and unplugging the appliance.
• Remove the food. Clean the interior of the appliance. Simply remove the shelf to clean them by hand. Use warm water and a neutral detergent, such as baking soda, to prevent any bad smells occurring.
• Use two tablespoons and a quart liter of warm water. After cleaning, rinse the interior with clean water and leave the door open to let it air dry for 1 to 2 hours before the power is turned on. Be careful not to affect the electrical insulation properties when rinsing with water.
• For areas that are difficult to clean in the refrigerator, such as narrow gaps or corners, it is recommended to wipe them regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc. When necessary use some auxiliary tools, such as thin sticks (tooth picks), to ensure no contamination can accumulate in these areas.
• Clean the outside of the refrigerator and the door gasket with mild soap and water. Use a soft moist cloth.
• We recommend that you dust the back of the appliance and on the floor with a cloth or vacuum cleaner once a year in order to maintain a good output and low energy consumption.
• Do not use hard brushes, cleaning steel wire balls, wire brushes, abrasives, such as toothpastes, organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, oils, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items to clean the refrigerator considering that this may damage the fridge surface and interior. Boiling water and benzene may deform or damage plastic parts.

Breakdown| Cause| Solution
---|---|---
Unusual or loud noises| The appliance is not level and stable.| Level the appliance with the adjustable feet.
The appliance is standing against something.| Place the appliance in such a way that it is not standing against anything.

During normal use of the cooling appliance, different types of noises can occur that do not have any effect on the correct operation of the appliance.
Noises that can be easily remedied:

• Noise due to the fact that the appliance is not level – position the appliance using the front adjustable feet. If necessary, place soft material under the rear wheels, particular in case of a tiled floor.
• Friction against other furniture – move the appliance.
• Grinding of drawers or shelves – remove the shelf or drawer and then place it back.
• Noise of colliding bottles – place the bottles apart.

Noises that can be heard during normal use of the appliance are caused by the operation of the thermostat, compressor (activation), cooling system (shrinkage and expansion of the material under the influence of temperature differences and flow of cooling liquid).
