• This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperature between 16°C and 38°C. If these temperatures are exceeded, i.e. colder or warmer, the appliance will not operate correctly. If the ambient temperatures are exceeded for long periods, the temperature in the freezer section will rise above - food spoilage may occur.

• Remove all packaging materials from the appliance. Wash the inside of the cabinet with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 liter of water). Dry the appliance thoroughly.

• When you use the freezer for the rst time or after defrosting, set the thermostat control to the maximum position for at least 2 hours before introducing food to be stored, and then readjust to the normal position.

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

SETTING THE THERMOSTAT KNOB

The refrigerator is controlled with a thermostat knob located inside the fridge, towards the upper right-hand corner. Turn the knob from the STOP (0) position towards the higher numbers for colder temperatures. The knob can be adjusted from setting 1 to 7. Installation

• Position the appliance and allow it to stand for two to three hours before it is turned on for the rst time to allow the system to settle. Do not position next to any heat source e.g. cooker, boiler or in direct sunlight etc.

• Allow at least 10cm of space at the top and 10 cm of space on both sides of the appliance and between the back of the appliance and the wall for adequate air circulation. The appliance is not designed for recessed installation (“building in”).

• Install on a good rm level surface, and any unevenness of the oor should be corrected prior to installation, slight unevenness can be overcome by adjusting the front feet. NOTE: If the appliance is positioned on a carpet, soft oor covering you should readjust the front feet once the appliance has had time to settle.

GB GB 18°C andTEMPERATURE INDICATE In order to help you get the correct adjustment of your device, it is equipped with a temperature gauge placed in the coldest area. For the proper storage of food in your refrigerator and in particular in the coldest area, make sure that “OK” appears in the temperature indicator. The symbol on the left side indicates the location of the coldest area of your refrigerator. It denes the height of this area. If “OK” is not displayed, the average temperature in this area will be very high. You ought to adjust the thermostat to a colder setting. For every modication of your thermostat, you are supposed to wait for the stabilization of the temperature inside the unit before proceeding, if necessary, to a new setting. Do change the position of the thermostat gradually and wait at least 12 hours before re-checking. NOTE: after charging the device for fresh food or after repeated or prolonged door openings, it is normal that the inscription “OK” does not appear in the temperature indicator. Wait at least 12 hours before readjusting the thermostat.

SHOPPING FOR FROZEN FOOD

The appliance is rated as a 4 star freezer and can freeze fresh food and store pre-frozen food. When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will be able to store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the 4 star rating. Higher settings on the knob (higher numbers) mean lower temperatures (colder) in all compartments of the appliance. Changes of the ambient temperature aect temperature in the interior of the appliance so choose a correct setting of the temperature control knob, depending on your ambient conditions. In the STOP (0) position the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is switched o), but power supply is not interrupted. Set the thermostat knob to a middle position to achieve -18°C in the freezer compartment. Please Note: If the appliance is switched o you must wait at least 5 minutes before restarting the appliance or re-inserting the plug into the wall outlet. This is to allow the protection device in the compressor to reset. If the compressor fails to start correctly remove the plug and wait for 5 minutes before you try again then the compressor should restart normally. The storage temperature may be aected by: – The room temperature – How often the door is opened – How much food is stored – Position of the appliance When you set the correct temperature, all these factors mentioned above shall be taken into account.

All frozen food you purchase should be placed in the freezer as soon as possible to avoid them from defrosting and spoiling. All storage recommendations printed on the packaging of frozen food by the manufacturer should always be followed. When using the freezer for the rst time or after defrosting, set the thermostat knob to the maximum position for at least 2 hours before introducing food to be stored, and then readjust it to the normal position. The technical data mentioned in the ‘Technical information’ are obtained in the case that the freezing drawers are removed.

1. Fill the ice tray with ¾ full of clean water.

2. Place the tray in the top freezing drawer.

To remove the ice cubes from the tray, put the tray under running water for a while and then twist the tray slightly to loosen the ice cubes.

Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most hygienic conditions as freezing alone does not improve the food. Never put hot or even warm foodstus into the freezer. Prior to freezing the food, food should always be covered tightly with foil, plastic lm, placed in plastic bags or stored in airtight containers. This will prevent food from dehydrating and to prevent any strong odors of some foods transferring to milder ones. To freeze raw meat, wrap in plastic bags or in airtight containers and place on the lowest shelf to avoid cross contamination. Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked foods. For safety, only store raw meat for two or three days. Fruit and vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the crisper. Milk and other liquids should be sealed with lids and placed in the bottle shelf in the door. NOTE: The ambient temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened aect the temperature in the refrigerator. If required, change the thermostat temperature settings.

GB GB4. When using the water dispenser, some water may drip and accumulate at the bottom of the water dispenser. Please wipe it with a cloth when necessary. Water switch Water Dispenser NOTE: Don’t take away the cup until no waterdrop. Energy-saving tips Install the fridge or freezer in a cool place out of direct sunlight and away from cookers, heaters, dishwashers or any hot air emitting items. Do not set the fridge and freezer temperatures lower than necessary. Set the internal temperature within the correct range e.g. adjust the thermostat at middle position for 4°C in the fridge compartment and -18°C in the freezer respectively. Let pre-cooked foods cool down before placing them in the fridge or freezer. This will prevent the internal temperature of the fridge from rising. Tips for Water dispenser The refrigerator includes a water dispenser which makes it easier to ll your cup of water and have access to cold water almost immediately. The water dispenser includes one tank of 2.0 litres of water which has to be lled out. To use water dispenser follow the instructions below: Filter cover Water tank Water tank cover open close

1. Open the refrigerator door to ensure the water dispenser xed

2. Open the ller cover of the water tank, slowly ll the water tank

to prevent any spills until the tank is lled. Then close the ller cover of the water tank. See image C.

and come back 30 minutes later, then ll your cup on water dispenser. See image D.

GB GBReverse door Follow the following stages to reverse the door from its initial position. DEPOSIT DOORS

1. Take away all hole covers and remove all the top-cover’s screws.

Lift the top-cover away from the Fridge.

3. Uncover the right hinge cover then unscrew the screws,

remove the upper hinge. Deposit the door of the refrigerating compartment. Keep your fridge full, but not over crowded, this helps reduce “cold” air loss. Meanwhile, avoid overloading the fridge or freezer. Try to leave about 20% free space for air circulation. To prevent cold air escaping, limit the frequency of opening door. When retuning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your fridge before opening the door. Only open the door to put food in or take it out. Make sure the door seal is clean and in good condition. It should hold a piece of paper tightly in place when shut. Defrost regularly or when ice is more than 5mm thick. Thick ice covering the inner sides signicantly increases energy use. The combination of the drawers, baskets and shelves shown in the device description is optimal for ecient energy savings. Changing the combination proposition could alter the eciency.

ASSEMBLY OF THE DOORS

1. Remove door stopper from the freezer door and put it to the

opposite side. Align the hole of the door to the gun of the hinge while taking care of the alignment of the door compared to the refrigerator.

GB GBMaintenance FRIDGE DEFROSTING The fridge defrosting process is carried out automatically every time the compressor stops. The defrost water is automatically routed to the drain port and into a tray placed on the top of the compressor to the rear of the appliance from which it evaporates. Make sure the drain port on the fridge at the rear of the appliance is kept clear. FREEZER DEFROSTING Frost will accumulate inside the freezer depending upon the length of time during which the door is left open or the amount of moisture introduced. It is essential to ensure that no frost or ice is allowed to form at places where it will aect the close tting of the door seal. This might allow air to penetrate the cabinet, thus encouraging continuous running of the compressor.

4. Insert the gun of the upper hinge in the upper hole of the door

5. Screw the top cover back to the top of fridge then install all hole

GB GBReconnect the appliance to the mains supply and leave for 2 to 3 hours on setting number 7 before introducing the food back into the freezer and setting the thermostat to your normal setting.

NOISE FROM YOUR APPLIANCE

You may notice some rather unusual noises. The noises are caused by circulation of refrigerant in the cooling system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not aect the performance of your fridge.

PROLONGED OFF PERIODS

If the appliance is not in use for a long period of time, proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect from the mains supply.

2. Clean and dry the inside (see ‘Cleaning and maintenance’).

3. Leave the door open to prevent any unpleasant smells from

building up while the appliance is not in use.

Do clean and defrost your appliance regularly. Do check contents of the compartments every so often. Do store commercially prepared food in accordance with the instructions given on the packets. Do choose high quality fresh food and be sure it is thoroughly clean before freezing it. Do wrap all food in food quality polythene bags or air tight containers and make sure any air is excluded. Thin frost formation is quite soft and can be removed with a brush or plastic scraper. Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process. Remove all dislodged frost from the cabinet oor. For the removal of thin frost it is not necessary to switch o the appliance. For the removal of heavy ice deposits disconnect the appliance from the mains supply and empty the contents into cardboard boxes and wrap in thick blankets or layers of paper to keep them cold. Defrosting will be most eective if carried out when the freezer is empty, and it should be carried out as quickly as possible. An increase in temperature of frozen food packages during defrosting will shorten the storage life. Provided that the contents are well wrapped and placed in a cool area, they should keep for several hours. Examine the contents when replacing them in the freezer and if some of the packages have thawed out. After defrosting is nished clean the inside with a solution of warm water with a little bicarbonate of soda and then dry thoroughly. Wash all removable parts in the same way and reassemble.

1. Unplug the appliance.

2. Remove all substances.

3. Clean the inside and outside walls with a clean sponge or soft

cloth using warm water or 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to

1.2 liters of water.

4. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

If the appliance is not to be used for a long period of time then it is recommended to remove all the food stu, clean the inside of the appliance and leave the door open to allow the air to circulate thus avoiding unpleasant odors. Do Not store poisonous or any dangerous substances in your freezer. It is designed for the freezing of edible foodstus only. Do Not consume food which has been frozen for an excessive length of time. Do Not leave the door open for long periods, as this will make the appliance more costly to run and cause excessive ice formation. Do Not use sharp objects such as knives to remove the ice from the appliance. Only use a plastic scraper. Do Not put hot food into the appliance. Let it cool down to room temperature. Do Not put liquid-lled bottles or sealed cans containing carbonated liquids into the freezer as they may burst. Do Not give children ice-cream and water ices direct from the freezer as the low temperature may cause ‘freezer burns’ on the lips. Do Not try to keep frozen food which has thawed; it should be eaten within 24 hours or cooked and re-frozen.

3. Push upward to remove the light shield.

4. Unscrew the bulb and screw a new 10W (E14 base) bulb.
