Get to know your appliance Prior to startup Warning Below information about accessories are supplied only for reference. Below accessories may not be exactly same as the accessories of your appliance. Before you start operating your appliance, the following points should be re-checked for safety:

• Is there sufficient space for good air circulation?
• Is the interior clean? (Also see the section “Cleaning and care”)
• Set the thermostat knob half way between 1 and 5 or Min. and Max.
• Now connect the appliance to the mains. Fig. 1

• The compressor is turned on; the interior light comes on when the door is opened. Do not place foodstuff into the refrigerator until the temperature has reached the desired level.

Cooling Setting the operating temperature Food storage (Fig. 2) The fridge compartment is for the short-term storage of fresh food and drinks. The operating temperature is regulated by the temperature control. Warm (Or) Min. Store milk products in the intended compartment in the refrigerator. Cold

Max. Bottles can be stored in the bottle holder or in the bottle shelf of the door. 1 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest setting) 5 = Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting) Raw meat is best kept in a polyethylene bag in the compartment at the very bottom of the refrigerator. (Or) Min. = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest setting) Max. = Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting) Allow hot food and beverages to cool to room temperature prior to placing them in the refrigerator. Attention Store concentrated alcohol in a container only standing upright and tightly closed. The average temperature inside the fridge should be around +5°C. Please choose the setting according to the desired temperature. You can stop operation of your appliance by turning the thermostat knob to “0” position. Attention Do not store explosive substances or containers with flammable propellant gases (canned cream, spray cans etc.) in the appliance. There is a danger of explosion. Please note that there will be different temperatures in the cooling area. The coldest region is immediately above the vegetable compartment. The interior temperature also depends on ambient temperature, the frequency with which the door is opened and the amount of food kept inside. Frequently opening the door causes the interior temperature to rise. For this reason, it is recommended to close the door again as soon as possible after use.

Cleaning and care Defrosting of the appliance The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The thawing water flows through the drain channel into a collection container at the back of the appliance (Fig. 4). During defrosting, water droplets form at the back wall of the fridge due to the evaporation. If not all of the drops run down, they may freeze again after defrosting competes. Remove them with a soft cloth dampened with warm water. Do not use hard or sharp objects. Interior and Exterior Surfaces Attention Always unplug the power cable or switch off the circuit breaker before cleaning. Clean the exterior using lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Never use detergents, abrasive or acidic agents. Check the flow of the thawed water from time to time. It may become blocked occasionally. Clean it with a q-tip or similar (see the section "Cleaning and care"). Wipe the inside compartment dry. Be careful to prevent water from getting into contact with the electrical connections of the temperature control or the interior light. Replacing the interior light bulb (Fig. 3) If the appliance is not going to be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cable remove all food. Clean the appliance and keep the door open. To preserve the appearance of your appliance, you can polish the exterior and the door accessories with a silicone wax. Should the light fail to work, proceed as follows.

1- Switch off the circuit breaker or unplug

the power cable. You may find it useful to remove shelves for easy access.

2- Use a flat tipped screwdriver to remove the

light diffuser cover.

3- First check that the bulb hasn’t worked loose

by ensuring it is screwed securely in the holder. Plug in the appliance and switch it on. If the bulb works, replace the light cover by inserting the rear lug and pushing up to locate the front two lugs.

4- If the light still fails to work, switch off the

circuit breaker or unplug the power cable. Replace the bulb with a new 15 watt (max) screw cap (SES) bulb.

5- Carefully dispose of the burnt-out light bulb

immediately. Replacement light bulb can easily be obtained from a good local electrical or DIY store. Inspect the door gasket at regular intervals. Clean with water only, and wipe totally dry.

Practical tips and notes Cleaning of the accessories Door shelves: Remove all food from the door shelves. Lift the cover of the shelf upwards and pull it off sideward. Remove the door shelf by pushing it upwards from the bottom. Cooling

• Clean fresh food and vegetables before storing in the crisper bin.
• Always pack or wrap food, or put it in a suitable container, before storing it in the appliance.
• Wrap food which is not suitable for storage at cold temperatures in polyethylene bags (pineapple, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes etc.).
• Food with strong odour or apt to acquire odour should be wrapped in airtight or smellproof packaging material.
• Keep fresh food separate from cooked food, to avoid bacteria contamination.
• Never keep fresh meat in the fridge for more than 2 or 3 days.
• Remove any left-over canned food from the can and store it in a suitable container.
• Refer to the shelf life indicated on the food packaging.

• Do not use hard or sharp objects to remove the ice build-up.
• Do not load hot food into your appliance. Crisper or Drawers: To clean a drawer, pull it out as far as possible, tilt it upwards and then pull it out completely.

Examples of Use White wine, beer and mineral water chill before use do not store in a fridge store in polyethylene bags only use airtight containers or polyethylene bags; for best results, take out from the fridge an hour before consumption. store only for a short period of time, use airtight packaging/wrapping do not store together with delicate food such as cooked food or milk Bananas Fish or offal Cheese Melons Raw meat and poultry Normal operating noises Also to avoid disturbing vibrations and noises make sure that; Various functional noises are completely normal due to the operation of the cooling system of your appliance;

• Your refrigerator is standing level on all four feet.
• Cans, bottles or dishes inside the refrigerator are not touching and hitting each other.

• Gurgling, hissing, boiling or bubbling noises are caused by the refrigerant, circulating inside the cooling system. These noises can still be heard for a short period of time after the compressor shuts off.

• All shelves and bins are mounted correctly inside the refrigerator cabinets and doors.

• Sudden, sharp cracking or popping noises are caused by the expansion and contraction of the inside walls or some components inside the cabinets.
• Buzzing, whirring, pulsating or high-pitched humming noises are caused by the compressor. These noises are slightly louder at the start-up of the compressor and reduce when the appliance reaches the operating temperatures.

1- The appliance will not work, even though

it is switched on. Proceed in numerical order (Fig. 5).

• Check if the power cable is properly connected!
• Check if the mains supply is in order, or if a circuit breaker has been tripped!
