PREPARING THE REFRIGERATOR /FREEZER
To prepare your appliance for use and check that it is running correctly, take the following steps.
Install all shelves and compartments removed during transport in the correct positions.
You are advised to clean the appliance and accessories before switching the appliance on for the
first time to remove any dust that accumulated during packing and shipping.
Please clean the water tank with an edible detergent, especially if there is an odor.
Switch on the appliance for approximately 2 hours before loading it with frozen food for the first
time. Do not load with frozen food until the temperature of freezer shows at least -18°C
.
If you want to store frozen food as rapidly as possible, set the temperature control to the coldest
temperature (-25°C) and let the appliance operate for one hour.
The appliance is preset for normal operation. We recommend temperatures of +3°C in the
refrigerator and -19°C in the freezer.
The interior light of the appliance will light up when the door is open.
Your appliance is operated by a compressor which switches “on and off” to maintain the internal
temperature. When the compressor is new, it requires running in for a period of up to five months.
During this period, it may be slightly noisy. This is quite normal and does not represent a fault.
Store food once the temperature in the refrigerator is sufficiently low. It takes a few hours after
starting the refrigerator to reach the proper temperature.
If the appliance does not operate correctly, check the electricity supply. If the problem persists,
contact your dealer.

STORING FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER
When storing food in the appliance,
follow the recommendations below.
• Allow warm food and beverages to cool down
before storing them in the appliance.
A. Refrigerator
• Ensure that food is well-wrapped or covered
before it is stored. This will prevent food from
dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing
flavour and will help maintain freshness.
Fruit, vegetables and salads need not be
wrapped, provided that they are stored in the
refrigerator vegetable compartments.
You are advised not to wrap the food with paper
and store it in the refrigerator and freezer.
It could be the cause of odor generation.
• Never let any oil or grease come into contact
with the plastic fittings or door seals, as these
materials easily become porous.
• Never store any explosive substances inside
the appliance. High-proof alcohol should only
be stored upright in tightly sealed containers.
• Please keep the space between shelf and the
rear wall of the enclosed space of the cabinet
10mm apart for air circulation.
Transparent, unbreakable shelf
• Place food in storage containers and lay the items out
at suitable intervals.
• The storage shelf is made from an unbreakable, transparent
material, so that you can use it safely.
Fresh salad drawer
• Fruit and Vegetables can be stored in this compartment.
• It is possible to remove the drawer if you need more space
to store fruit and vegetables.
Multi-purpose guard and egg tray
• The refrigerator is warmest at the front, at the top and in
the door.
• Store small packaged foods, like milk, yogurt and
beverages here.
Egg tray
• Put eggs into the egg tray as shown in the figure and
store the tray in a convenient place in one of the
multi-purpose guards.
Bottle guard
• Store small bottles and (1 litre) cartons of beer, milk and
juice in the upper area and large bottles and (1.5 litre)
cartons in the lower area.

• Store packed frozen foods, like ice cream
and bacon.
Middle/lower freezer drawer
• Store fresh meat and fish or dried foods
divided into suitably sized portions.
Upper freezer drawer
Middle/lower freezer drawer
Wrapping food
Note
Pack the food in suitably sized portions for your household.
Vegetable and fruit portions should be no heavier than 1 kg, while meat portions can be up
to 2.5 kg.
Smaller portions freeze through more quickly and the quality is thereby maintained better when
defrosting and preparing the food.
It is important to seal food in airtight bags or containers before freezing to prevent it from losing
its taste or dehydrating.
Wrap the food, press out any air and seal it airtight.
Suitable wrapping materials:
Plastic bags, cling-film, aluminium foil and freezer containers. These items are available from
any dealer.
Unsuitable wrapping materials:
Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, bin bags or used carrier bags.
These can cause odors to be generated.
Suitable sealing materials:
Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, freezer tape or similar.
Plastic film and bags may be heat-sealed using a special sealing iron or press.
Before placing a package in the freezer, it should be clearly labelled with the contents and
date of freezing.

There are unusual noises
• Check that the appliance is installed on a stable, level floor.
• Is the back of the appliance too near to the wall?
• Have any foreign objects fallen behind or under the appliance?
• Is the noise coming from the compressor in the appliance?
• A ticking sound may be heard inside the appliance; this is normal. This sound occurs when the various
accessories contract or expand.
The front corners and sides of the appliance are warm and condensation starts to form
• Heat-proof pipes are installed in the front corners of the appliance to prevent condensation from forming.
When the surrounding temperature rises, this may not always be effective. However, this is not abnormal.
• In very humid weather, condensation may form on the outer surface of the appliance when moisture in
the air comes into contact with the cool surface of the appliance.
You can hear a liquid bubbling in the appliance
• Please note that noises caused by the refrigerant circuit cannot be avoided.
There is a bad smell inside the appliance
• Do not wrap food with paper.
• Store foods covered and clean the cold inlet.
There is a layer of frost on the surface of stored food.
• Space the food out as much as possible to improve ventilation.
• Is the door fully closed?
Condensation forms on the inside wall of the appliance and around vegetables
• Food with a high water content is stored uncovered with a high humidity level or the door has been left
open for a long time.
• Store the food with a cover or in sealed containers.
16
USAGE PRECAUTIONS
Store food with a high water content at the
front of a refrigerator shelf.
Store hot food in the appliance only after it
has cooled.
• If you store cold food, you save on electricity and
improve refrigeration.
Tips
Power Saving Tips
• Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with adequate ventilation.
Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and never put it near a direct source of heat (radiator, for
example).
• Never block any vents or grilles on the appliance.
• Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance.
• Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw.
You can then use the low temperatures of the frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator.
• Defrost the freezer when ice builds up. A thick coat of ice will impair the transfer of cold to the frozen
products, thereby increasing power consumption.
• Do not keep the door of the appliance open for too long when putting food in or taking food out.
The shorter time the door is opened, the less ice will form in the freezer.
• When freezing food or storing it in the freezer, place the food directly on the freezer elements in the top
container.
