• Plastic wrap can be a choking hazard for pets, babies, and children, so for safety reasons, throw it away in the recycling bin.
• Check that you have received all the parts indicated in the exploded view.
• Uncoil the cord completely before plugging in and inspecting for damage.

Door handle installation

• The door handle is disassembled due to packaging restrictions. It can be easily installed by following these instructions.
• Unscrew the 4 screws fixed to the door.
• Put the metal crank (2) and fix it using the 4 screws that were removed in the previous step.
• Fix the two screws (3) at the bottom of the crank.

Installing the fridge

• Before installing the refrigerator, read all the safety instructions and follow the instructions below.

• Put the refrigerator on a stable and level floor, so that it makes less noise. Make sure the floor is strong enough to support your weight when completely filled.

• If you were to put the refrigerator on a carpet, place a wooden board between the carpet and the refrigerator. Be aware that placing the refrigerator on a carpet may
  cause the heat emitted by the compressor to discolor the carpet.

• This appliance is designed to be self-standing and not to be recessed or on a stand.

• Do not tilt the refrigerator more than 45° when moving it.

• Avoid areas where the appliance is exposed to sunlight, heat sources (stoves, stoves, radiators, etc.), extremely low ambient temperatures, or high humidity.
  Installing it in the coolest area of the room will save energy.

• ATTENTION: Do not apply force to any part such as the condenser or the door. The metal rails under the refrigerator can have sharp edges, so always unpack it carefully. Do not drag the refrigerator, put it carefully in its place to avoid scratching the floor.

SPACE REQUIREMENTS

• Install the refrigerator so that you have enough space to open the door.
• Make sure that air can circulate freely around the back of the refrigerator so that the compressor and condenser can cool down. Leave at least 10 cm of space at the back and 5 cm at the sides.

LEVELING

• The refrigerator must be level to function properly. If it is not leveled properly, the doors and magnetic seal alignment will not be covered properly.
• To level the refrigerator, adjust one or both of the leveling feet on its base.

Instructions for use

USE

• Completely unwind the cable before plugging in.
• Plug the appliance into the mains.

THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENTS

• Turn the thermostat knob to the desired temperature. You can adjust the temperature by turning the thermostat on the back of the fridge.
• Settings 1 (MIN) – 5 (MAX) regulate the interior temperature of the refrigerator:
• Position 1 (MIN): Lower value (warmest internal temperature)
• Position 5 (MAX): Highest value (coldest internal temperature)
• NOTE: the temperature of the refrigerator will vary depending on the amount of food stored inside and the frequency of opening the door. The internal temperature varies in different parts of the interior of the refrigerator. The rear is the coldest. Please keep cans and bottles away from the back of the refrigerator to prevent freezing and to facilitate the circulation of cold air.

FOOD STORAGE

• The refrigerator is suitable for the short-term storage of fresh food. The internal temperature varies depending on the amount of food stored, the ambient temperature, and how often the door is opened. Adjust the thermostat accordingly.
• For good cooling efficiency and energy savings, do not leave the refrigerator open too long or too often. Do not overload the refrigerator and leave enough space between the foods so that the cold air can flow through. Do not block the vents.
• The shelves can be adjusted to different levels depending on your needs.

*TIPS FOR SAWN ENERGY**

• Place the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, away from heat-producing appliances and out of direct sunlight.
• Wait for hot food and drinks to cool down before putting them in the fridge.
• Do not overload the refrigerator as this causes the compressor to run longer.
• Wrap the food well and clean and dry the containers before putting them in the fridge to avoid frost.
• Do not line any compartment of the refrigerator with aluminum foil, greaseproof paper, or paper napkins. Any lining interferes with circulation, reducing efficiency.
• Store food in such a way that air can flow around it.
• Do not leave the refrigerator door open for longer than necessary.
• Make sure food does not touch the back of the compartments.
• Do not set the thermostat to extremely low temperature.

GOING ON VACATION?

• Short holidays: Leave the refrigerator in operation during holidays of less than a month.
• Long holidays: If you are not going to use the refrigerator for long periods of time, remove all the food and disconnect the plug. Thoroughly clean and dry the interior. To avoid odors and mold growth, leave the door slightly open.

MOVE THE FRIDGE
