ENERGY SAVING For better energy saving we suggest: Installing the appliance away from heat sources and not exposed to direct sunlight and in a well-ventilated room. Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator to avoid increasing the internal temperature and therefore causing continuous functionalizing of the compressor. Do not excessively stuff foods so as to ensure proper air circulation. Defrost the appliance in case there is ice to facilitate the transfer of cold. In case of absence of electrical energy, it is advisable to keep the refrigerator door closed. Open or keep the doors of the appliance open as little as possible. Avoid adjusting the setting to temperatures too cold. Remove dust present on the rear of the appliance. Refrigerating appliances might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of contents or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end of the range of temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed. The fact that effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezer compartments or cabinets or in low-temperature compartments or cabinets, and that some products such as water ices should not be consumed too cold; The need to not exceed the storage time(s) recommended by the food manufacturers for any kind of food and particularly for commercially quick-frozen food in food-freezer and frozen-food storage compartments or cabinets; The precautions necessary to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while defrosting the refrigerating appliance, such as wrapping the frozen food in several layers of newspaper. The fact that a rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting, maintenance or cleaning could shorten the storage life. The necessity that, for doors or lids fitted with locks and keys, the keys be kept out of the reach of children and not in the vicinity of the refrigerating appliance, in order to prevent children from being locked inside. 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. 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 appliance13 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The packing as supplied must be intact during transportation. If during the course of transport the product has been transported horizontally, it must only be laid on its left hand side (when facing the door front) and it must not be operated for at least 4 hours to allow the system to settle after the appliance is brought back to upright position.

1. Failure to comply with the above instructions could result in damage occurring to the

appliance. The manufacturer will not be held responsible if these instructions are disregarded.

2. The appliance must be protected against rain, moisture and other atmospheric influences.

1. If possible avoid placing the appliance near cookers, radiators or in direct sunlight as this will

cause the compressor to run for long periods. If installed next to a source of heat or refrigerator, maintain the following minimum side clearances: From Cookers 4" (100 mm) From Radiators 12" (300 mm) From Fridges 4" (100 mm)

2. Make sure that sufficient room, with an average temperature of between 16°C and 32°C, is

provided around the appliance to ensure free air circulation. Ideally, a space of no less than 9cm on the back and 2cm on the sides.

3. The appliance should be located on a smooth surface.

4. It is forbidden to use the refrigerator outdoors.

5. Protection from moisture. Do not locate the freezer in moist space to avoid the metal parts

rusty. And do not spray water to the freezer, otherwise it will weaken the insulation and causes current leakage.

6. Refer to "Cleaning and Care" section to prepare your appliance for use.

7. If the freezer is installed in unheated areas, garages etc., in cold weather condensation may

form on the outer surfaces. This is quite normal and is not a fault. Remove the condensation by wiping with a dry cloth.

8. Never place Refrigerator in a wall recessed or into fitted cabinets or fumiture when it is

working, the grille at the back may become hot and the sides warm. Do not drape the Refrigerator with any covering.

Before you starting to use the freezer, please check that:

1. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear.

2. Clean the interior as recommended under "TAKE CARE" section (electric parts of the

refrigerator can only be wiped by dry cloth).

3. Do not switch on until 4 hours after moving the fridge/freezer. The coolant fluid needs

time to settle. If the appliance is switched off at any time, wait 30 minutes before switching back on to allow the coolant fluid to settle.

4. Before connecting the Refrigerator to the mains supply position. The thermostat control15

dias is located inside the Fridge compartment.

5. Turn the thermostat knob to the “3” position and turn on the electricity. The compressor

and the light inside the refrigerator will begin to work.

6. Before storing foods in your refrigerator, turn the refrigerator on and wait for 24 hours,

to make sure it is working properly and to allow the Fridge/Freezer to fail to the correct temperature.

7. Open the door 30 minutes later, if the temperature in the refrigerator decreased

obviously, it shows that the refrigerator system works well. When the refrigerator operates for a period of time, the temperature controller will automatically set the temperature within limits it opens. OPERATION Switching on your unit The temperature selector Knob is located on the right hand side wall of the refrigerator interior. Setting “Off”: unit is off. Setting “MIN”: less cool temperature. Setting “MED”: normal operation (adequate for most situations) Setting “MAX”: coolest Temperature During high ambient temperature: it may be necessary to set the thermostat to the coolest setting (position “MAX”). This may cause the compressor running 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”. Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is the best to wait 24 hours before adding food. The thermostat knob controls the temperature. When the thermostat control knob is set to “OFF”, the refrigerator will not be running. The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled by the thermostat in the fridge compartment.

1. Under the normal opera ng condi on (in spring and autumn), it is recommended to set at

2. In winter when the ambient temperature is low, it is recommended to set at Model MAX.

Operation instructions

1. The appliance might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of contents or

temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end of the range of temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed

2. The information about the climate range of the appliance is provided on the rated plate.

3. The fact that the internal temperatures could be affected by such factors as the location of

the refrigerating appliance, ambient temperature and the frequency of door opening, and, if appropriate, a warning that the setting of any temperature control device might have to be varied to allow for these factors

4. The fact that effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezer compartments or

cabinets or in low-temperature compartments or cabinets, and that some products such as water ices should not be consumed too cold

5. The need to not exceed the storage time(s) recommended by the food manufacturers for any

kind of food16 Tips for keeping food perfect in the Fridge Take extra care with meat and fish: cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats on a plate which is large enough to collect juices and cover it with cling film or foil. Leave space around food: this allows cold air to circulate around the Fridge, ensuring all parts of the Fridge are kept cool. Wrap up food!: to prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, food should be separately packed or covered. Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped. Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly: allow pre-cooked food to cool down before placing in the Fridge. This will help to stop the internal temperature of the Fridge from rising. Shut the door!: to prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the 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. If you're not at home for a long time Turn off the refrigerator first and then unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Remove all the food. Clean the refrigerator. Leave the lid open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors. Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible to child’s play. Short vacations: Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of less than three weeks. Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary or have the door removed. TAKE CARE Defrosting NOTE THIS UNIT DOES NOT HAVE AN AUTO DEFROST SYSTEM. Please use a plastic ice shovel when clearing the frosting of the evaporator. Do not use metal sharp objects. Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 5 mm has formed. Alternatively you may switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. Extract the water conduit and put in a water container. As a temporary measure, this frost should be scraped away using a plastic scraper. NEVER use a metal or sharp instrument. This should be carried out if the frost build-up cannot be scraped away, or if it begins to interfere with the food storage. Chose a time when the stock of frozen food is low and proceed as follow:

1. Take out the frozen food, turn the Refrigerator off at the mains supply and leave the doors

open. Ideally the frozen food should be put into another Fridge/Freezer or refrigerator. If this is not possible wrap the food, firstly in several sheets of newspaper or large towels and then in a thick rug or blanket and keep it in a cool place.

2. Scrape away as much frost build-up as possible using the plastic scraper. To accelerate the

thawing process place bowls of hot water inside the Fridge/Freezer cabinet. As the solid frost17 loosens, prize it away with the plastic scraper and remove.

3. When defrosting is completed, clean your Fridge/Freezer as described.

Cleaning and Care After defrosting you should clean the Fridge/Freezer internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets in warm soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before replacing in the Fridge/Freezer. Condensation will form on the back wall of the Fridge; however it will normally run down the back wall and into the drain hole behind the salad bin.

The drain hole will have a “cleaning spike” inserted into it. This ensures that small pieces off food can not enter the drain. After you have cleaned the inside of your Fridge and removed any food residues from around the whole, use the “cleaning spike” to make sure that there are no blockages. Use standard furniture polish to clean the Fridge/Freezer exterior. Make sure that the doors are closed to prevent polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside. The grille of the condenser at the back of the Fridge/Freezer and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment. Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the Fridge/Freezer.18
