Operation

Starting up and temperature regulation
Insert the plug of the connection lead into the plug socket with protective earth contact. The temperature selector knob is located on the side of the freezer compartment.

Setting “0 ” means
Turning the temperature control to “0” position stops the cooling cycle, but does not shut off the power to the refrigerator. Turning clockwise in direction Refrigerating unit on, the latter then operating automatically. If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will not start.

Setting “8”(end-stop) means:
Lowest temperature, coldest setting.

Important!
For optimum food preservation, we advise you select setting of 3 or 4, if you want the temperature lower or higher, please turn the knob to colder or warmer setting accordingly.
When you turn the knob to lower temperature, it can consume more energy while to the higher, it can be more energy-saving and therefore increase the energy efficiency.

Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a colder setting (position 6 to 8) on the temperature regulator can cause the compressor to run continuously or even non-stop! Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the 20.3-3/44 compressor must run continuously to maintain the, low temperature in the % 8 appliance.

Note: High temperature setting will accelerate food waste.

Remove and install the door shelf

Helpful hints and tips

Energy saving tips
We recommend that you follow the tips below to save energy.

• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods in order to conserve energy.
• Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (Direct sunlight, electric oven or cooker etc)
• Don’t set the temperature colder than necessary.
• Don’t store warm food or evaporating liquid in the appliance.
• Place the appliance in a well ventilated, humidity free, room. Please refer to Installing your new appliance chapter.
• If the diagram shows the correct combination for the drawers, crisper and shelves, do not adjust the combination as this is designed to be the most energy efficient configuration.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator or freezer, the internal temperature will increase resulting in the compressor having to work harder and will consume more energy.
• Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavor.
• Place food properly so that air can circulate freely around it.

Hints for refrigeration

• Meat (All Types) Wrap in polythene food: wrap and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Always follow food storage times and use by dates suggested by manufacturers.
• Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.: They should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: They should be stored in the crisper box
• Butter and cheese: Should be placed aluminum foil or polyethylene(plastic) bags while removing as much air as possible.
• Milk bottles: Should have a lid and be stored in the door shelf.

Hints for freezing

• When first starting-up or after a period out of use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings before putting food in the compartment.
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight,
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid temperature rise of the latter. ‘Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, will probably cause frost burns to the skin.
• It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in order to keep track of the storage time.

Hints for the storage of frozen food

• Ensure that frozen food has been stored correctly by the food retailer.
• Once defrosted, food will deteriorate rapidly and should not be re-frozen. Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.

Switching off your appliance
If the appliance needs to be switched off for an extended period, the following steps should be taken prevent mould on the appliance.

1. Remove all food.
2. Remove the power plug from the mains socket.
3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged open slightly to allow air to circulate.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning and Care
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly.
The fridge should be cleaned and maintained at least every two months.

Warning! Danger of electrical shock!

• The appliance should not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
  Important!

• Remove the food from the appliance
  before cleaning. Store them in a cool place, well covered.

• Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical components,

• Hot vapors can lead to the damage of plastic parts.

• Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or the juice from orange peel, butyric acid, cleanser that contain acetic acid.
  Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts.

• Do not use any abrasive cleansers.

• Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used.

• After cleaning wipe with fresh water and clean dish cloth.

• Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption, clean the condenser at the back of the appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.

• Clear a blocked drain hole with the aid of something like soft green peg, be careful not to make any damage to the cabinet by sharp things.

• After everything is dry place appliance back into service.

Defrosting
Why defrosting

• Water contained in food or air getting into inside while the fridge be opening doors may form a frost layer inside. It will weaken the refrigeration when the frost is thick. While it is more than 10mm thick, you should defrost.

Defrosting in fresh food storage compartment

• It is automatically controlled by switching the temperature regulator on or off so that there is no need of operation of defrosting. Water from defrosting will be drained to the defrosting tray automatically. Then you need to put away the water of the defrosting tray and clean the refrigerator inside after defrosting.
• Warning! You need to raise the defrosting tray before you remove it.
• Warning! Switching off the appliance before defrosting, turn the temperature regulator to position “0”.
• Important! The fridge should be defrosted at least every one month. During the using process, if the door was opened frequently or using the appliance in the extreme humidity, we advise the user to defrost every two weeks.

Reversing the door

The side at which the door opens can be changed from the right side (as supplied) to the left side, if the installation site requires.

Tools you will need:

1. 8mm socket driver.

2. Cross-shaped screwdriver.

3. Putty knife or thin-blade screwdriver.
   

Before you start lay the refrigerator on it’s back in order to gain access to the base, you should rest it on soft foam packaging or similar material to avoid damaging the cooling pipes at the rear of the refrigerator.

1. Remove the upper hinge core, transfer it to left side and tighten securely, then put it in a safe place.

2. Remove both adjustable feet . the bottom hinge bracket and the rubber supporting pad by unscrewing the bolts, then fit them on by the following pictures.

3. Replace the lid by fitting the upper hinge core into the upper door’s hole, securing it with the 2 screws. Replace the screw covers.

Warning! When changing the side at which the door opens, the appliance must not be connected to the mains. Remove plug from the mains beforehand.
