After transport, unpacking and installation and before the first use, let the appliance rest for 2 hours in vertical position. Clean the appliance and its components (7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE). Connect the power plug with a wall outlet. Set the temperature to a high level using the SET button (TEMPERATURE CONTROL (REFRIGERATOR)). Let the refrigerator run for 24 hours before inserting fresh or frozen foods. 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 appliance. Ensure all parts of the appliance are kept cool. To prevent transfer of flavours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and vegetables do not need to be wrapped. Preserving an excessive amount of food during operation may adversely affect the cooling capability of the refrigerator.

Temperature control (refrigerator) Note: The temperature inside the appliance is the result of several factors, such as the ambient temperature, the quantity of food stored, the frequency of opening of the door, etc. Adjust the setting accordingly using the SET button. Turn the SET button to the desired position. Position 2 is for the coldest temperature, position 8 is the least cold. To stop the refrigerator completely, disconnect it from the all outlet. Fast cool: Press the SET button several times until “SUPER“ is shown in the display. The appliance will now operate for 150 minutes in a rapid cooling mode. Press the SET button again if you want to change to a different cooling setting.

The temperature control inside the freezer compartment offers 3 settings:

Setting NORMAL Default position. COLD Ambient temperature above 35 °C. This setting is most useful during the summer. COLDER Ambient temperature below 10 °C. This setting is most useful during the winter. Appropriate setting for normal & daily use. Accessories Various glass or plastic storage shelves are included with your appliance – different models have different combinations. Always slide one of the full size glass storage shelves into the lowest set of guides, above the fruit and vegetable containers.

Refrigerating compartment The refrigerating compartment is suitable for storage of a variety of fruits, vegetables, beverages and other food consumed in the short term. Cooking foods shall not be put in the refrigerating compartment until cooled to room temperature. Foods are recommended to be sealed up before putting into the refrigerator. The glass shelves can be adjusted up or down for a proper storage space and easy use. Freezing compartment The low temperature freezing compartment may keep food fresh for a longer time and it is mainly used to store frozen foods and making ice. The freezing compartment is suitable for storage of meat, fish and other foods not to be consumed in short term. Chunks of meat are preferably to be divided into small pieces for easy access. Please be noted food shall be consumed with the shelf time. Note: Storage of too much food during operating after the initial connection to power may adversely affect the freezing effect of the refrigerator. Foods stored shall not block the air outlet; or otherwise the freezing effect will also be adversely affected. Noise inside the appliance You may notice that your appliance makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal. These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your appliance. Changing the luminary The luminary shall be replaced by professionals only.

tips for energy saving

V.1.0 The refrigerator enclosure may emit heat during operation, especially in summer. This is caused by the condenser, and it is a normal phenomenon. Condensation phenomenon will be detected on the exterior surface and door seals of the freezer when the ambient humidity is large. This is normal. Wipe off condensation with a dry towel. 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 climatic conditions, 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 increases energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3 to 5 mm thick. Keep the rear of the appliance free from dust. 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. Wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance. Do not line the appliance’s storage bin with aluminium foil, wax paper, or paper towelling. 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. Close the door as soon as possible. V.1.0

To avoid contamination of 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 48 h: flush the water system connected to a water supply if water has not been drawn for 5 days. 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 mould developing within the appliance. Do not place hot foods and/or liquids directly in the appliance. Always allow them to cool down before placing them in the appliance. Do not place food against the rear wall of the appliance. Store cleaned fruits and vegetables in the crisper drawers (3), butter and cheeses in airtight containers and milk bottles in the door compartments (4). When placing foods in containers or bags, write the date on the packaging to remind you when the food was stored. Avoid opening the doors too often and for too long to reduce the loss of cold air and prevent humidity build-up in the appliance compartments. Do not refreeze frozen foods after thawing. Follow the food manufacturer’s storage recommendations for frozen foods. Do not place items such as bottled or sealed containers of fluid (e. g. bottled beers and beverages) in the freezer, as they may burst and spoil other food items. Prepare food in small batches to allow it to freeze and thaw more quickly. It also allows you to thaw and cook a suitable quantity of food.
