INSTALLATION
- Remove the exterior and interior packing, wipe the outside thoroughly with a soft dry cloth and the inside with a wet, lukewarm cloth.
- Avoid placing the cabinet in a narrow recess or near any leave source, direct sunlight, or moisture.
- Let air circulate freely around the cabinet. Keep the rear of the refrigerator 10 cm away from the wall.
- Select a place with a strong, level floor. One can level the appliance using adjustable legs. The adjustable legs can be adjusting by screwing them in or out of the appliance.
- 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 from 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.
- The appliance must be grounded. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages that may occur as a result of usage without grounding.
- After installation, leave the freezer for 24 hours before turning it on. This way the refrigerant can settle.
- Allow the appliance to run empty for 8 hours so the compartment can cool to the appropriate temperature.
- The climate class indicates the minimum and maximum ambient temperature for the proper operation of an appliance. You can find the climate class on the type plate on the back of the appliance.
- SN: Subnormal: ambient temperature between 10°C and 32°C
- N: Normal: ambient temperature between 16°C and 32°C
- ST: Subtropical: ambient temperature between 16°C and 38°C
- T: Tropical: ambient temperature between 16°C and 43°C
DOOR CONVERSION

call your local authorised service agent to make this conversion or ask a
technician.
Before you reverse the door, you should ensure the appliance is unplugged and
empty. It is recommended to use a crosshead screwdriver and a spanner (both
not supplied).
- Remove the 2 screws on the back of the top cover.
- Lift the top cover away from the fridge.
- Remove the three screws and then remove the top hinge that holds the door in place. Lift the door and place it on a padded surface to prevent it from being scratched.

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. Position 3 is the recommended position for normal use.
- OFF is off setting
- 1 is warmest setting
- 4 is coldest setting
- In the OFF position the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is switched off), but power supply is not interrupted.
- 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.
- When you use the appliance for the first time or after defrosting, adjust the control knob to the coldest setting for at least 2 hours before introducing food to be stored, and then readjust to the middle setting.
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. Your appliance uses isobutane (R600a) as a refrigerant. Although R600a is an environmentally friendly and natural gas, it is explosive. Therefore you should be careful during shipment and installation to prevent your appliance’s cooler elements from being damaged. In the event of a leak caused by damage to the cooler elements, move your fridge from open flame or heat sources and ventilate the room where the appliance is located for a few minutes.
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 odour 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.
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

DEFROSTING
The refrigerator defrosts fully automatically. While the cooling is running,
beads of condensation or hoarfrost form at the back of the refrigerator. This
is normal. It is not necessary to wipe off the condensation or frost. The rear
panel defrosts automatically. The condensation runs into thecondensation
channel and is conveyed to the cooling from where it evaporates.
Note: Keep the condensation channel and drainage hole clean, so that the
condensation can run out.
