BEFOREINSTALLINGTHEAPPLIANCE
Before connecting your fridge freezer to the power supply, check that the voltage stated on the rating label of your appliance corresponds to the voltage in your home. Adifferentvoltagecoulddamagetheappliance.
The plug is the only way to unplug the appliance and should therefore be accessible at all times. To turn off main power to the appliance, turn it off and thenetachtheplugfromtheoutlet.
The appliance must be grounded. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages that may occur as a result of usage without grounding.
INSTALLATION
Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room. The installation location should neither be exposed to direct sunlight nor near a heat source, e.g. a cooker, radiator, etc.
To ensure adequate ventilation for the appliance, allow a minimum of 10cm of airspace on each side of the cabinet.
For unevensurfaces,frontfeetcanbealigned.
AMBIENT EMPERATURE
Thisap plance is designed to operate in ambient temperature between 16^ and 43^ 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 compartment will rise above- 18^ and food spoil may occur.
BEFOREPLA CINGFOODINTHEAPPLIANCE
- Removeallpackaging.
- Allow the appliance to be empty for 2-3 hours so the components can cool to the appropriate temperature.
- Clean the inside of the appliance with warm water and a little liquid detergent to remove manufacturing and transportation dust.
POWERFA ILURE
If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the power failure lasts for less than 18 hours. Do notrefreezefrozenfoodsthathavethawedcompletely.Thefoodmaybedangeroustoeat.
TEMPERATURECONTROL
There is a temperature control knob located inside the fridge compartment. Adjust the control knob as desired to suit your individual preference.
Oisoffsetting-stopcooling
1iscoldsetting
7iscoldestsetting

- Theru nning time and temperature are affected by where the fridge freezer is located, how often the door is opened and the temperature of the room thefridgefreezerislocatedin.
- When you use the appliance for the first time or after defrosting, adjust the control knob to the coldest setting for at least 2 hours before introducing foodtobestored, and then readjusttothemiddlesetting.
MOVINGYO URAPPLIANCE
If the appliance is turned off for any reason, wait for 10 minutes before turning it back on. This will allow the refrigeration system pressures to equalise before starting.
- Turn off the appliance and unplug it from the mains socket. Remove all food. Also remove all mobile parts (shelves, accessories, etc.) or fix them into the appliancetoavoidanyshock.
- Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it standing upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on.
Your appliance uses isobutane (R600a) as a refrigerant. Although R600a is an environmentally friendly and natural gas, it is explosive. Therefore you should be careful during shipment and installation to prevent your appliance's cooler elements from being damaged. In the event of a leak caused by damage to the cooler elements, move your appliance from open flame or heat sources and ventilate the room where the appliance is located for a few minutes.

DEFROSTING
Refrigeratorcompartmentdefrostsfullyautomatically
While the refrigerating unit is running, beads of condensation or hoarfrost from at the back of the refrigerator compartment. This is normal. It is not necessary to wipe off the condensation or frost. The rear panel defrosts automatically. The condensation runs into the condensation channel and disconveyed to therefrigerating unit where it evaporates. Note:Keep the condensation channel and drainage hole clean, so that the condensation can run out.

Defrostingthefreezercompartment
The freezer compartment does not defrost automatically, otherwise the frozen food would start thawing. A layer of frost in the freezer compartment impairs refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power consumption. Remove the layer of hoar frost regularly.

THE COLDEST PART OF THE REFRIGERATOR

The symbol indicates the location of the coldest part of your refrigerator. This area is in between the vegetable compartment at the bottom and the symbol at the top, or the shelf at the same height. In order to maintain the temperature in this area, make sure not to change the position of this shelf.
In pulsed air refrigerators (equipped with a fan) or No Frost models, the coldest area symbol is not shown because the temperature is uniform throughout the interior.
INSTALLING THE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
To help you adjust your refrigerator correctly, it is equipped with a temperature indicator that you can use to control the average temperature in the coldest area.
WARNING: This indicator is only intended for use in your refrigerator. Do not use it in another refrigerator (as the coldest area will not be the same) or for any other purpose.
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR: THE COLDEST PART OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR

CHECKING THE TEMPERATURE IN THE COLDEST AREA
- Using the temperature indicator, you should regularly check that the temperature is correct in the coldest part of your refrigerator. The temperature inside your refrigerator depends on a number of factors, such as the outside room temperature, how full your refrigerator is, and how often you open the door. Take these factors into consideration when adjusting your appliance.
When the indicator shows "OK", it means your thermostat is set properly and the temperature inside your refrigerator is correct.
If the indicator is white it means the temperature is too high, so you should increase the thermostat and wait for 12 hours before checking the indicator.
again.
After loading the refrigerator or opening the door, the indicator may turn white for a few seconds.
