INSTALLATION
- Remove the exterior and interior packing, wipe the outside thoroughly with a soft dry cloth and the inside with a wet, lukewarm cloth. Dry the appliance off well.
- Let air circulate freely around the cabinet.
- This cooling unit is not intended for use as a built-in appliance.
- Select a place with a strong, level floor.
- Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating. Heat sources nearby will cause higher electricity consumption.
- Avoid very moist places. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form very quickly on the evaporator and your refrigerator.
- Before connecting your refrigerator to the power supply, check that the voltage stated on the rating label of your appliance corresponds to the voltage in your home. A different voltage could damage the appliance.
- After installation, leave the freezer for 24 hours before turning it on. This way the refrigerant can settle.

- ST: Subtropical: ambient temperature between 16°C and 38°C
- T: Tropical: ambient temperature between 16°C and 43°C
USE
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The fridge is controlled with a temperature control knob located inside the
appliance.
Adjust the control knob as desired to suit your individual preference. The higher the number, the colder the temperature. Position 4 is the recommended position for normal use.

- The running time and temperature are affected by where the fridge is located, how often the door is opened and the temperature of the room the fridge is located in.
STORAGE GUIDE
For the best storage, set up your refrigerating appliance as follows:
| Refrigerator compartment | Type of food |
|---|---|
| Door rack | · Food with natural preservatives such as jams, juices, |
drinks, spices, etc.
· Do not store food with a limited shelf life here
Crisper drawer| · Fruits, herbs, and vegetables
· Do not refrigerate bananas, onions, potatoes, or garlic
Middle shelf| Dairy and eggs
Top shelf| Food that does not need to be cooked, such as ready-made meals,
leftovers, spreads, etc.
MOVING THE SHELVES AND DOOR RACK
- Empty the fridge before moving the shelves or the door racks.
- To move a shelf, raise it and pull it towards you.
- To move a door rack, grip it firmly with 2 hands. Raise the door rack and pull it towards you.
LIGHTING
The lighting in the fridge is a LED light. These are more ecological and manufactured for long life. For this reason, these may not be replaced. If there is a problem with the lighting, contact a qualified service center in your area.
MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE
If the appliance is turned off for any reason, wait for 10 minutes before
turning it back on. This will allow the refrigeration system pressures to
equalise before restarting.
- Turn off the appliance and unplug it from the mains socket. Remove all food. Also remove all mobile parts (shelves, accessories, etc.) or fix them into the fridge to avoid any shock.
- Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it standing upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on.
STORING FOOD IN THE FRIDGE
The fridge helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods. Fresh
food care for best results:
- Store foods that are very fresh and of good quality.
- Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing taste and will help maintain freshness. It will also prevent odor transfer.
- Make sure that strong-smelling foods are wrapped or covered and stored away from foods such as butter, milk and cream which can be tainted by strong odours.
- Cool hot foods down before placing them in the fridge.
VACATION TIME
For short vacation periods, leave the control knobs at their usual settings.
During longer absences:
- Remove all foods.
- Disconnect from the electrical outlet.
- Clean the refrigerator thoroughly, including defrost pan.
- Leave door open to avoid possible formations of condensate, mold or odors.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two and will not affect
your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of
door openings while the power is off. During power failures of longer
duration, take steps to protect your food by putting dry ice on top of
packages.
