Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit

◆ Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food. Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect juices and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf. Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of the unit are kept cool. ◆ To prevent transfer of favors and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and vegetables do not need to be wrapped. ◆ Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain the internal temperature of the unit. ◆ To avoid contamination of the food, please respect the following instructions:

• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
• Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
• Clean water tanks if they have not been used for 48h; flush the water system connected to a water supply if water has not been drawn for 5 days.
• To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the door. We recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take food out.

- In case that your device has freezing compartment with 4 stars, this refrigerating appliance is suitable for freezing foodstuffs

In case that your device has freezing compartment with 1, 2 or 3 stars, this refrigerating appliance is NOT suitable for freezing foodstuffs.

• 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 freezing fresh food.
• If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch it off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mold from developing inside the appliance.

First Start

Cleaning Before Use

Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda. Then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out sponge or cloth. Wash the shelves and salad bin in warm soapy water and dry completely before replacing them in the unit.

Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth.

If you require more information, refer to the Cleaning section.

Before Plugging In

You must check that you have a socket compatible with the plug supplied with the unit.

Before Turning On!

Do not turn on until one hour after moving the unit.

The refrigerator should run for 2 to 3 hours before loading fresh or frozen foods; in summer, it should run for more than 4 hours in advance, considering that the ambient temperature is high.

Operation

Switching On Your Unit

The temperature selector knob is located inside the refrigerator compartment.

When the thermostat knob is turned to the end position, below the "Min" position (1), the refrigerator will stop cooling.

Setting "MIN" (1-2): Less cool temperature.

Setting "MED" (3-4): Normal operation (adequate for most situations).

Setting "MAX" (5-6): Coolest temperature.

During high ambient temperatures, e.g., on hot summer days, it may be necessary to set the thermostat to the coolest setting (position "MAX" (5-6), turn knob clockwise). This may cause the compressor to run continuously in order to maintain a low temperature in the cabinet. For the first time you install your refrigerator, set the thermostat knob at "MED" (3-4) (middle position).

Give your freezer time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before adding food. The thermostat knob controls the temperature.

When the thermostat control knob is set to the OFF position, the refrigerator will not be running.

WARNING: In the lowest thermostat position, although the fridge is not cooling, it does not mean that the device is disconnected from the power supply. For cleaning and maintenance, to disconnect the power supply, pull the power plug out of the socket!

Noise Inside the Unit!

You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them!

These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC-free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.

Change the Light Bulb

The LED lamp must be replaced by authorized service. Please contact authorized service or manufacturer.

Maintenance of Refrigerator

Cleaning

Please unplug the refrigerator for defrosting and cleaning.

Dust behind the refrigerator and on the ground should be cleaned promptly to improve cooling efficiency and save energy.

The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid odors. Soft towels or sponges dipped in water and non-corrosive neutral detergents are recommended for cleaning. The freezer should be finally cleaned with clean water and a dry cloth. Open the door to let it dry naturally before turning the power back on.

◆ Remove all shelves and the salad bin. To remove the salad bin, first remove the lower door shelf. ◆ Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda, then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and salad bin. ◆ Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make sure the door is closed to avoid polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside the unit. ◆ The grille of the condenser at the back of the unit and adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.

Cleaning Tips

Condensation may appear on the outside of the unit. This may be due to a change in room temperature. Wipe off any moisture residue. If the problem continues, contact a qualified technician for assistance.

Do not use hard brushes, steel wool, wire brushes, abrasives such as toothpaste, organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, or acidic or alkaline items to clean the refrigerator, as this may damage the fridge surface and interior.

Do not rinse with water to avoid affecting the electrical insulation properties. Use a dry cloth when cleaning lighting lamps, the temperature control knob, and electrical components.

Defrosting

Defrost the freezer compartment whenever the layer of frost on the surface of the evaporator reaches 3 to 4 mm.

1. Set the thermostat to the "OFF" position and disconnect the refrigerator from the main power supply.
2. Remove drawers with frozen food and store the frozen food in a cold place.
3. Place the drip tray under the evaporator to collect melted water. To speed up melting, you can put a bowl of hot water inside the compartment.

Condensation: condensation phenomenon will be detected on the exterior surface and door seals of the freezer when the ambient humidity is large, this is a normal phenomenon, and the condensation can be wiped away with a dry towel. Airflow sound: Refrigerants circulating in the refrigerant lines will produce eruption of sound and grunts which is normal does not affect the cooling effect. ◆ Buzz: Buzz will be generated by running compressor specially when starting up or shutting down. ◆ Clatter: The solenoid valve or electric switch valve will clatter which is a normal phenomenon and does not affect the operation. The refrigerating chamber will periodically frost and defrost (water drops will be generated on the backside of the refrigerating chamber when defrosting) which are normal.

Tips for Energy Savings

Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, close it as soon as possible.

Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance).

In normal temperature conditions, please arrange the thermostat at the middle setting.

Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh food, make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature.

Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.

If it is the outer condenser, the rear wall should be always clean free of dust or any impurities.

- The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.

◆ Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance.

◆ Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer.

◆ Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.

- Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.

◆ Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.

◆ Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches.

◆ Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
