INSTALLATION

3.1 INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
Before installing the appliance, carefully review the safety information (chapter 1).
1. Unpack
Remove the packaging materials and dispose of them properly. Check that the appliance is not damaged. Do not connect the appliance if it is damaged. Report any damage immediately to the salesperson via customer service. In that case, keep the packaging.

2. Location

  • The location where you place your appliance should be well ventilated.
  • Always move the appliance with two people. Use two hands when moving, lifting or turning the appliance.
  • Do not place the appliance near a heat source, such as a stove or boiler, and avoid direct sunlight, so as to guarantee the cooling effect and save on energy consumption.
  • Do not place the appliance in a damp place so that it cannot rust and there is no leakage current.
  • Do not use the appliance outdoors. This appliance is only intended for use indoors.

3. Installation of the appliance

  • This appliance is not intended for use as a built-in appliance.
  • Use only the original accessories provided for the installation.
  • To reverse the direction in which the door opens, go to section 3.2.
  • During operation, the appliance emits heat to the environment. Therefore there must be at least 10 cm clearance on the top, at least 10 cm on both sides and at least 10 cm on the back of the appliance (see also section 2.1).
  • Use the front adjusting legs to level the appliance. If the appliance is not level, it is possible that the door may not close properly, reducing the cooling performance of the appliance. If the appliance is not level, this can also lead to malfunctions.
  • Make sure that the power cable is not stuck or damaged during installation or positioning the appliance.
  • It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply. The plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.
  • Always place the appliance on a moisture-resistant and dry surface.
  • Place the appliance on a firm and flat surface (floor) so that it is stable, otherwise vibrations and noise may occur. When placing the appliance on floor coverings such as carpets, straw mats or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), place a solid sheet or cover under the appliance to prevent colour change due to heat dissipation.

4. Clean
Before putting the appliance into use, clean the interior and all associated accessories with lukewarm water and neutral soap. Dry everything carefully. Do not use solvents or abrasive powders; these may damage the coating.
5. Wait
On first installation (or after turning the door) wait at least four hours before plugging in the appliance. This allows the oil to flow back into the compressor.
6. Switch on
Before plugging in the power cable, check that the voltage and frequency of the type plate match your power supply network. Only connect the appliance to an earthed power socket. After one hour, open the door of the appliance. If the temperature in the appliance is noticeably lower, this indicates that the cooling system is operating normally.

7. Mounting accessories: door compartments and shelves
To store food of different sizes, the door compartments can be set to different heights. Proceed as follows: gradually pull the compartment in the direction of the arrows until it comes loose and put it in the desired position.
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of guide profiles so that the shelves can be inserted if desired. To remove the shelf, lift it first and then pull it out. To put the shelf back in place, push it into place before lowering.

For the two-piece shelf, first push back the first part and then pull out the second part.
Raise the rear edge of the shelf to prevent food coming into contact with the wall lining. Hold the shelf firmly when removing or replacing it and take care to avoid damage.

8. Storing food
See Section 4 “Use”.

3.2 DOOR REVERSAL INSTRUCTIONS
Open the door and loosen the locking nut with an adjustable wrench. To raise the door, turn the adjusting nut clockwise. To lower the refrigerator door, turn the adjusting nut anticlockwise. When both doors are aligned straight, tighten the locking nut (anticlockwise).

4.3 DAILY USE
Cooling food

  • Always refer to the expiry date of the products to know how long they can be stored.
  • Pack food in resealable plastic bags, especially if it has a strong taste, and place on the glass shelves above the crisper drawer. Store food only one or at most two days in this way.
  • Store raw meat and fish in appropriate food containers in the refrigerator so that it does not leak or come into contact with other foods.
  • Do not place hot food or hot plastic parts in the appliance. Make sure it has cooled to room temperature before putting it in the appliance.
  • Cooked food that has cooled sufficiently must be covered and can then be placed on any shelf.
  • Do not place foods containing a lot of water too close to the back wall of the refrigerator to prevent them from freezing to the inner wall.
  • It is best to clean and dry food before storing it in the appliance. It is advisable to store food in sealed packaging in the appliance. This prevents evaporation of water, which keeps fruit and vegetables fresh and also prevents odours.

Cooling food

  • The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen food for a long time.
  • The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is for this refrigerator: 12 kg.
  • The freezing process takes 24 hours. Do not add any other food to freeze during this period.
  • Only freeze fresh and thoroughly cleaned foods.
  • Prepare the food in small portions so that it is soon completely frozen and can then be thawed in the desired amount.
  • Pack the food in aluminium foil or freezer bags and make sure the packets are airtight.
  • Do not allow fresh, non-frozen food to come into contact with food that has already been frozen, and prevent the temperature of the food that has already been frozen from rising.
  • Lean foods are better and more durable than fatty foods; salt shortens the shelf life of food.
  • Ice lollies, if eaten directly from the freezer, can cause frostbite.
  • It is advisable to indicate the freezing date on each individual package in order to keep track of the shelf life.
  • It is advisable to keep the time between buying the food and putting it in the freezer as short as possible.

Storing frozen food

  • On first use or after a long period of downtime. Run the appliance for at least two hours at the higher positions before putting products in the freezer compartment. The most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the drawers in the lower part of the appliance and with the shelves evenly distributed. The position of the door trays does not affect energy consumption.

ATTENTION!

  • The manufacturer’s storage recommendations must be strictly followed. Please refer to the respective instructions.
  • Do not keep the door open for too long; this can cause a sharp increase in temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
  • Frozen food may not be refrozen after thawing.
  • In the case of unexpected thawing, for example if a power failure lasts longer than the value specified in the technical properties under “rise time”, the thawed food must be consumed quickly or prepared immediately and then frozen again (after  preparation).

Saving energy

  • Do not open the door or leave it open more often than necessary.
  • Do not set the temperature too high to save energy unless the characteristics of the food require it.
  • If the ambient temperature is high, the temperature control is set to a low temperature and the appliance is fully filled, the compressor can be on continuously, causing ice to form on the evaporator. In this case, set the temperature control to a higher temperature to defrost the evaporator and thus save energy.
  • Ensure proper ventilation.
  • Do not cover the vents or holes.
  • Place frozen food in the fresh food compartment to defrost: the low temperature of the frozen food helps to cool the fresh food and thus saves energy.
  • Replace the door gasket in good time to prevent poor door closing.

4.4 WATER AND ICE DISPENSER
