The fans have the purpose to provide the circulation of the air in the compartment. They are connected in parallel with the motor-compressor. When the motor-compressor is off, the fans will also be off.

Suggested arrangement of food in the appliance

Guidelines for obtaining optimum storage and hygiene:

1. The fridge compartment is for the short-term storage of fresh food and drinks.
2. The freezer compartment is rated and suitable for the freezing and storage of pre-frozen food.

The recommendation for storage as stated on the food packaging should be observed at all times. 3. Dairy products should be stored in the special compartment provided in the door liner. 4. Cooked dishes should be stored in airtight containers. 5. Fresh wrapped produce can be kept on the shelf. Fresh fruit and vegetables should be cleaned and stored in the crispers. 6. Bottles can be kept in the door section. 7. To store raw meat, wrap in polythene bags and place on the lowest shelf. Do not allow to come into contact with cooked food, to avoid contamination. For safety, only store raw meat for two to three days. 8. For maximum efficiency, the removable shelves should not be covered with paper or other materials to allow free circulation of cool air. 9. Do not keep vegetable oil on door shelves. Keep the food packed, wrapped or covered. Allow hot food and beverages to cool before refrigerating. Leftover canned food should not be stored in the can.

1. Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and products such as flavoured water ices should not be consumed too cold.
2. Some fruit and vegetables suffer damage if kept at temperatures near 0°C . Therefore wrap pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and similar produce in polythene bags.
3. High-proof alcohol must be stored upright in tightly closed containers. Never store products that contain an inflammable propellant gas (e.g. cream dispensers, spray cans, etc.) or explosive substances. These are an explosion hazard.
4. To take out the baskets from the freezer compartment please proceed as in item 11.
5. In order to transform the chill compartment (used for easy perishable products - Item 1-point 5) into a vegetable box it is necessary to assemble in the rear side of the bottom glass shelf the ornament (Item 12) delivered as accessory according to the picture Item 13 (point a-c). If the ornament will not be assembled the compartment (Item 1-point 5) will have biofresh functionality.

Temperature control and adjustment

Operating temperatures are controlled by the setting knob (Item 5) located on the ceiling of the fridge compartment. Settings may be made from min, 1 ... 6, max, with max being the coldest position.

When the appliance is switched on for the first time, the setting knob should be adjusted so that after 24 hours, the average fridge temperature is no higher than +5°C (+41°F). We recommend you set the knob halfway between the min and max settings and monitor to obtain the desired temperature. For example, towards max you will obtain a colder fridge temperature and vice versa. Some sections of the fridge may be cooler or warmer (such as the salad crisper and the top part of the cabinet), which is quite normal.

The normal storage temperature of the freezer should be -18°C (0°F). Lower temperatures may be obtained by adjusting the setting knob towards the max position.

We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept at the desired temperature.

Remember you must take your reading very quickly since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.

Please remember each time the door is opened cold air escapes and the internal temperature rises. Therefore never leave the door open and ensure it is closed immediately after food is put in or removed.

Before operating

Final Check

Before you start using the appliance check that:

1. The feet have been adjusted for perfect levelling.
2. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear.
3. The interior is clean as recommended under "Cleaning and care."
4. The plug has been inserted into the wall socket and the electricity is switched on. When the door is open the interior light will come on.

And note that:

1. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also make some noise, whether the compressor is running or not. This is quite normal.
2. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is quite normal due to the manufacturing process used; it is not a defect.
3. We recommend setting the knob midway and monitor the temperature to ensure the appliance maintains desired storage temperatures (See section Temperature Control and Adjustment).
4. Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend checking the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature Control and Adjustment).

Storing frozen food

Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage of commercially frozen foods and also can be used to freeze and store fresh food.

If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 19 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.

Making ice cubes

Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the freezer. Loosen frozen trays with a spoon handle or a similar implement; never use sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks.

Freezing fresh food

Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results.

Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.

Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h.

Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration machine to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.

When freezing fresh food, to reach the best freezing capacity, put the setting knob to maximum position 24h before placing it. After freezing the knob can be set to the initial position. Small quantities of food up to 1/2 kg . (1 lb) can be frozen without adjusting the temperature control knob.

Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.

Defrosting

A) Fridge compartment

The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The defrost water runs to the drain tube via a collection container at the back of the appliance. Check that the tube is permanently placed with its end in the collecting tray on the compressor to prevent the water spilling on the electric installation or on the floor (Item 6).

B) Freezer compartment

The NO FROST type defrost is completely automatic. No intervention from your side is required. The water is collected on the compressor tray. Due to the heat of the compressor, the water is evaporated.

Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects, such as knives or forks, to remove the frost.

Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters, or other such electrical appliances for defrosting.

Sponge out the defrost water collected in the bottom of the freezer compartment. After defrosting, dry the interior thoroughly (Item 7 & 8). Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply.

Warnings!

The fans inside the freezer and fresh food compartments circulate cold air. Never insert any object through the guard. Do not allow children to play with the fresh food and freezer fan.

Never store products that contain inflammable propellant gas (e.g., dispensers, spray cans, etc.) or explosive substances.

Don't cover the shelves with any protective materials that may obstruct air circulation.

Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with the controls.

Do not obstruct the fan guards to ensure that you obtain the best possible performance from your appliance. (Item 9 and Item 10)

Warning!

Your appliance is fitted with a circulating fan which is essential for the performance of the refrigerator. Please ensure the fans are not blocked (stopped) or impaired by food or packaging. Blocking (stopping) or impairing the fan can result in an increase of the internal freezer temperature (Thawing).

Replacing the interior light bulb

To change the Bulb/LED used for illumination of your refrigerator, call your Authorised Service. The lamp(s) used in this appliance is not suitable for household room illumination. The intended purpose of this lamp is to assist the user to place foodstuffs in the refrigerator/freezer in a safe and comfortable way.

3. Fresh products in the refrigerator may be stored on the shelves. Fresh fruits and vegetables should be stored in the compartments designated for them.
4. Plates can be stored in the refrigerator. 7. For storing raw meat, wrap it in suitable packaging and place it on the bottom shelf. Do not allow contact between meat and prepared food products to avoid contamination. For safety, store raw meat for no more than two to three days.

8. To ensure maximum efficiency and proper cold air circulation, do not cover the shelves with paper or other material. 9. Do not store vegetable oil on the refrigerator shelves. Store it sealed, closed, or covered. Butter and cheese should be kept in the refrigerator before use. Canned goods that cannot be stored in cans should be transferred to other containers. 10. Carbonated drinks should not be frozen, and products such as carbonated juices cannot be consumed if they are too cold. 11. Some fruits and vegetables are damaged if stored at temperatures close to 0°C. Therefore, it is necessary to wrap bananas, pineapples, cucumbers, tomatoes, and similar products in suitable packaging. 12. Strong alcoholic drinks should be stored in an upright position, in a tightly closed container. Never store in the refrigerator containers that contain easily flammable gases (for example, aerosols in spray cans, aerosol cans, etc.), as they may explode. They are explosive and dangerous. 13. To freeze fresh meat, wrap it in foil or plastic wrap, then place it in a suitable container. 14. To store food in the refrigerator, it must be placed in suitable containers or wrapped in foil or plastic wrap. If you want to store food, you need to place it in suitable containers (see point 12), and if you want to freeze it, place it in the freezer (see point 13 (a-c)).

If the compartment is not assembled, the compartment (point 1.6) will work as a "biofresh" compartment.

Also pay attention to the following:

5. You may hear that the compressor does not work. Refrigerant gases, hermetically sealed in the cooling system, may also create some noise, regardless of whether the compressor is working. This is completely normal. 6. Slight unevenness of the surface of the shelves, which is a result of manufacturing, is completely normal; this is not a defect.

1. We recommend setting the temperature control knob to the middle position and monitoring the temperature to ensure the required storage temperatures (see section "Temperature Control and Regulation").
2. Do not overload the refrigerator immediately after switching it on. Wait until the required storage temperature is reached. We recommend checking the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see section "Temperature Control and Regulation").

Storage of frozen products

The freezer compartment is intended for long-term storage of products that are frozen, as well as for freezing and storing fresh products.

If the power goes out, do not open the door. Power outages of 19 hours or less will not affect frozen products. If the power outage is prolonged, check the products and either use them immediately or refreeze them.

Freezing fresh products

For best results, follow the instructions below. Do not freeze too many products at once. The quality of products is best preserved if they freeze quickly. Do not exceed the maximum freezing capacity of the freezer.

Placing warm products in the freezer causes the refrigeration unit to run continuously until they are completely frozen. This may lead to temporary overcooling of the refrigerator compartment. To freeze products at maximum capacity, set the thermostat knob to the maximum position "24h" before placing products in the compartment. After freezing, the knob can be returned to its original position. Products in small quantities (up to 0.5 kg) can be frozen without adjusting the thermostat knob.

Pay special attention to the fact that you cannot mix already frozen and fresh products.

Do not use sharp objects to remove ice, such as knives or scrapers.

Never use heaters, electric heaters, or electric fans during defrosting.

Keep the drain tray dry, as water may accumulate on the lower part of the freezer compartment. After defrosting, carefully wipe the interior dry (item 7.8). Insert the plug into the socket and turn on the appliance.

Warning!

The fans in the freezer compartment and in the compartment for storing fresh products ensure proper cold air circulation. Never insert foreign objects into the fan grille. Do not allow children to play with the fans in the freezer compartment or in the compartment for storing fresh products.

Never store containers in the refrigerator that contain flammable gases (e.g., aerosols, spray cans) or explosive substances.

Do not use any cleaning agents that could damage the cold air circulation.

Do not allow children to play with the appliance or touch the control elements.

Do not block the fan grille to ensure proper air circulation and efficient operation of the refrigerator. (Items 9 and 10)

Warning!

The appliance must be ventilated properly. Make sure the ventilation openings are not blocked or covered by products or packaging. Blocking or covering the ventilation openings can lead to an increase in temperature of the freezer compartment (up to defrosting).

Replacing the interior lighting lamp

To replace the refrigerator lighting lamp, contact an authorized service center.

The lamp(s) in this appliance is/are not intended for room lighting. The intended use of this lamp is to illuminate the placement of products in the refrigerator/freezer in a safe and convenient way.
