The appliance may not work properly if it is left for a longer period at a temperature above or below the indicated range.

Climate class Ambient temperature
SN +10 °C to +32 °C
N +16 °C to +32 °C
ST +16 °C to +38 °C
T +16 °C to +43 °C

Important! It is necessary to have good ventilation around the fridge to allow for the dissipation of heat, high efficiency an low sufficiently cleared space should be available around the fridge. It is advisable for there to be 50-70mm separating the back of the fridge to the wall at least 100mm of space on its two sides, a height of over 100mm from its top and a clear space in front to allow the doors to open 160°.

OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS

Starting up and temperature regulation

  • insert the plug of the connection lead into the plug socket with protective contact. When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal lighting is switched on. After the fridge has been placed in position, wait for 5 minutes before electricity is supplied. Don’t store anything until the temperature inside the fridge becomes low enough.
  • The temperature selector knob is located on the right of the refrigerator compartment.

Setting 0 means:
Off
Clockwise rotate the Knob to turn on the appliance.
Setting 1 means: Highest temperature, warmest setting.
Setting 7(end-stop) means: Lowest temperature, coldest setting.

Important!
Normally we advise you select setting of 2 or 3 or 4, if you want the temperature higher or colder please turn the knob to warmer or colder setting accordingly. When you turn the  Knob to colder which can lead to the more energy efficiency-Otherwise, it would result in more energy-consuming.
Important! High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting (position 6 to 7) may cause the compressor to run continuously or even non-stop!
Reason: when the ambient temperatures is high, the compressor must run continuously to maintain the low temperature in the appliance.

USING YOUR APPLIANCE

Accessories
Movable shelves/trays

  • Various glass or plastic storage shelves or wire trays are included with your appliance different models have different combinations and different models have different quality.
  • The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.

Positioning the door shelves

  • To permit the storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed at different heights.
  • To make these adjustments proceed as follows gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free, then repositions as required.

Vegetable Drawer

  • The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables.

To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:

  • Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of 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 ice cream and making ice cubes.
  • One-, two- and three-star compartments are not suitable for the freezing of fresh food.
  • If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mold developing within the appliance.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Noises during Operation
The following noises are characteristic of refrigeration appliances:
Clicks Whenever the compressor switches on or off, a click can be heard.
Humming As soon as the compressor is in operation, you can hear it humming.
Bubbling When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear bubbling or splashing noises.
Splashing Even after the compressor has been switched off, this noise can be heard for a short time.

Energy saving tips

  • Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of warmth.
  • Do not open the door too often or leave the door open any longer than necessary.
  • Do not set temperature colder than necessary.
  • Make sure the side plates and back plate of the appliance are with some distance from the wall, follow the instructions relevant to installation.
  • If sketch map shows the right combination of the drawers, crisper and shelves, do not adjust the combination, it would result in more energy-consuming.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performances:

  • Do not store warm foods or evaporating liquids in the appliance.
  • Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavor or odor.
  • Position food so that air can circulate freely around.

Hints for refrigeration

  • Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
  • Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc…: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
  • Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special draw(s) provided.
  • Butter and cheese: these should be placed in aluminum foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
  • Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

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

Electrical Shock Hazard

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.

Notice!

  • 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.
  • Check the water drain hole on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.
  • 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 getting into air inside 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 into an drip tray through a drain pipe at the back of the fridge automatically.

Go out of use for a long time

  • Remove all refrigerated packages.
  • Switch off the appliance by turning the temperature regulator to position “0”.
  • Remove the mains plug or switch off or disconnect the electricity supply.
  • Clean thoroughly (see section: Cleaning and Care).
  • Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odors.

Note: If the appliance contains freezer compartment.
