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.
   Before installing the appliance, carefully review the safety information (chapter 1).
   • 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. DOOR REVERSAL INSTRUCTIONS

• 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.

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. !

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning the appliance, carefully review the safety information (Section 1).
CAUTION!

• Always remove the plug from the earthed socket before cleaning the appliance.
• Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children without supervision.
• Never touch the plug with wet or moist hands because of the risk of electric shocks and injury.
• Do not put your hands unprotected in the bottom of the appliance as the sharp metal corners can cause scratches.
• Do not use the appliance if any of its components are damaged or faulty. Replace a damaged or faulty appliance immediately. Remove the plug from the earthed socket and contact customer service.

ATTENTION!

• Clean surfaces that may come into contact with food and accessible drainage systems regularly.
• Never open the appliance. The appliance may only be opened for maintenance by an authorised service technician.
• Do not spill water directly onto the appliance to prevent rust, leakage and accidents.
• Do not use water jets and steam to clean the appliance.
• To prevent damage, do not use a hard brush, steel brush, detergent, soap powder, alkaline detergent, benzene, petrol, acids, chlorine, abrasive powders, hot water or other corrosive or soluble substances to clean the cabinet surface, door gasket or plastic decorative parts etc.

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.
