3. before the 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.

4 usage

The control unit of the appliance is located on the inside. Check that the thermostat is off in position 0. 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 change the temperature in the refrigerator. The possible positions of the thermostat:
Switch off appliance – position 0
Maximum temperature – position 1 (least cold) Optimum temperature – positions 2-5 Minimum temperature – position 7 (coldest)

Set the temperature with the thermostat and select a position between 1 and 7. We recommend setting the appliance to position 4. 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.
Only use highest position 6 for making ice cubes, or at the beginning when placing new frozen products in the freezer section.

Internal temperature of the refrigerator

Adjusting the temperature to the changing seasons is not recommended. The increase in ambient temperature is detected by the sensor and the compressor will automatically work longer to maintain the required internal temperature.

Minor changes in temperature

Minor changes in temperature are normal and can be caused by storing a large number of fresh products in the freezer, or by leaving the door open for a longer period of time. The food is not affected, and the temperature quickly returns to the normal value.
Set the thermostat to position 0 to switch off 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.

5. 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.
The space between the shelves and the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment must be unobstructed to allow the cool air to circulate. Therefore don’t place any food items against the back.
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 energyconsumption is substantially higher.

To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions

– Opening the door for long periods can cause a significatn 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 icecream and making ice cubes.
– One-, two- and three-start compartments are not suitable for the freezing of fresh food.
