Scrapping old appliances

This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

WEEE contains both polluting substances (which can cause negative consequences for the environment) and basic components (which can be re-used). It is important to have WEEE subjected to specific treatments, in order to remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and recover and recycle all materials.

Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that WEEE does not become an environmental issue; it is essential to follow some basic rules:

• WEEE should not be treated as household waste;
• WEEE should be handed over to the relevant collection points managed by the municipality or by registered companies. In many countries, for large WEEE, home collection could be present.

In many countries, when you buy a new appliance, the old one may be returned to the retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of equivalent type and has the same functions as the supplied equipment.

Conformity

By placing the C mark on this product, we are confirming compliance to all relevant European safety, health and environmental requirements which are applicable in legislation for this product.

Guarantee

Minimum guarantee is: 2 years for EU Countries, 3 years for Turkey, 1 year for UK, 1 year for Russia, 3 years for Sweden, 2 years for Serbia, 5 years for Norway, 1 year for Morocco, 6 months for Algeria, Tunisia no legal warranty required.

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 functioning 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.

Before first use

You must allow the fridge to settle for at least four hours prior to switching the

power on.

It is recommended that you clean the interior of the appliance prior to first use, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water and then thoroughly drying the interior. The fridge may have an odor to it at first use. This will disappear as the appliance cools.

Please note:

The appliance will start at 5°C for the fridge and -18°C for the freezer and work continuously until it comes down to the correct temperature. If the appliance is switched off, you should allow five minutes before switching it on again to prevent unnecessary damage to the compressor. Never store inflammable or explosive items and strong corrosive acids or alkalis in the appliance. This fridge cools your food by making the inside back of the cavity cold. It is normal for frost to build up on this surface; it then dissipates and drains through a small drain at the bottom, where it evaporates harmlessly. The presence of frosting at the back is not a malfunction of the fridge.

Fridge use

• Never put liquids in the refrigerator uncovered.
• Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool to room temperature before being put into the refrigerator.
• Nothing should rest against the rear wall of the refrigerator, as this will cause frost and possible condensation problems which will be difficult to remove.
• Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away before putting into the fridge.
• Wrap or cover food before putting into the fridge. This will help prevent the loss of moisture, keep food fresh and avoid unpleasant odors.
• Sort foods prior to storing. Any foods to be used soon should be stored at the front of the shelf to prevent deterioration caused by the door being open for prolonged periods.
• Do not overfill the fridge. There should be sufficient space between the foods to allow the cool air to circulate.
• Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment will help to keep the temperature low and save energy.
• Never store raw meats on shelves above cooked meats or other produce. This will help to prevent juices from raw meat contaminating other foodstuffs.

Freezer use

The freezer compartments are designed to store only frozen food. - Never put hot or warm foods in the freezer; allow them to cool fully before putting them into the freezer. - Follow the instructions on the food packaging for storage of frozen food. If no information is provided, foods should not be stored for more than three months after the purchase date. - Store food in small packages (ideally less than 1 kg). This reduces the freezing time and improves the quality of the food after thawing. - Wrap food before putting into the freezer. To stop the wrapping sticking together, ensure it is dry. Label the food before freezing with information including type of food and dates of storage and expiry. - Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen. Only defrost as much food as is required to prevent wastage. - Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartments as they could explode. The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen within a 24 hour period is 2.0 kg. - Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum amount.

Overview

** The pictures above are only for reference. The actual configuration will depend on the physical product or statement by the distributor.

Storage

The fridge section is for short term food storage. Although low temperatures can be maintained, extended periods of food storage is not recommended.

As the cold air circulates within the fridge, the temperature can vary between the different sections. As such, foods should be stored in different sections according to type.

1. Butter, cheeses etc.
2. Food in jars and bottles 3. Drinks, e.g. milk
3. Cooked food
4. Yogurts, preserves etc.
5. Fruit and vegetables

The fridge shelves can be moved according to the storage requirements within the fridge section. To move the shelf, lift up the rear section and then pull it outwards.

To replace, slide the shelf back into the slot, and then lower the rear section.

TIPS FOR FOOD STORAGE

Position different food in different compartments according to the table below:

Refrigerator compartment Type	Type of food
Door or balconies of fridge compartment	·Foods with natural preservatives, such as jams, juices, drinks, condiments ·Do not store perishable foods
Crisper drawers (salad drawer)	·Fruits, herbs and vegetables should be placed separately in the crisper bin ·Do not store bananas, onions, potatoes, garlic in the refrigerator
Fridge shelf – middle	·Dairy products, eggs
Fridge shelf – top	·Foods that do not need cocking, such as ready-to-eat foods, deli meats, leftovers
Freezer drawer(s)/tray	·Foods for long-term storage ·Bottom drawer for raw meat, poultry, fish ·Middle drawer for frozen vegetables, chips ·Top tray for ice cream, frozen fruit, frozen baked goods

It's suggested to set the temperature at 4°C in the fridge compartment, and, whether possible, at -18°C in the freezer compartment. For most food categories, the longest storage time in the fridge compartment is achieved with colder temperatures. Since some particular products (as fresh fruits and vegetables) may be damaged with colder temperatures, it is suggested to keep them in the crisp drawers, whenever present. If not present, maintain an average setting of the thermostat. For frozen food, refer to the storage time written on the food packaging. This storage time is achieved whenever the setting respects the reference temperatures of the compartment (one-star -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars -18°C).

Tips for storing food in the fridge

Keep your fridge temperature below 5°C. Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the appliance. Foods stored in the refrigerator should be washed and dried before storing. Food to be stored should be properly sealed to avoid odour or taste alterations. It is advisable to keep food covered with materials that are tasteless, impermeable to air and water, non-toxic and free of pollution, to avoid contamination or odour transfer. It is recommended not to obstruct the air outlets of the refrigerator compartment. Do not store excessive quantities of food. Leave spaces between foods to allow cold air flowing around them, for a better and more homogenous cooling. Leave a gap between foods and the inner walls, allowing air flowing. In special way don't

store foods against the rear wall, as food could freeze.

The ageing process of some fruit and vegetables (such as melons, papaya, banana, pineapple etc) can be accelerated in the refrigerator; therefore, it is not advisable to store them in the refrigerator. However, the ripening of strongly green fruits can be promoted for a certain period. Onions, garlic, ginger and other root vegetables should also be stored at room temperature.

Tips for freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.

Place the fresh food to be frozen in the freezer compartment. The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate. The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.

Tips for storing food in the freezer

Keep the freezer temperature at -18°C. Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the freezer compartment. Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and will be easier to defrost and cook. The recommended weight for each portion is less than 2.5 kg. It is better to pack the food before putting it into the freezer. Defrosted food cannot be re-frozen unless it is first cooked. Do not load excessive quantities of fresh food in the freezer compartment. Food can be stored in the freezer at a temperature of at least -18°C for 2 to 12 months, depending on its properties (e.g. meat: 3-12 months, vegetables 6-12 months). Do not exceed the food storage time recommended by the manufacturers.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning.

General

The appliance should be cleaned every four weeks for good maintenance and to prevent bad stored food odours.

Energy saving tips

For more economical energy use, we recommend:

Install the appliance away from heat sources, direct sunlight, or in a room with good ventilation. Avoid storing warm food in the refrigerator to prevent temperature fluctuations that lead to prolonged compressor operation. Do not overload with food to ensure good air circulation. Defrost the appliance when ice forms to reduce cold air transfer. In case of a power outage, it is advisable to keep the refrigerator door closed. - Open the doors as little as possible and for the shortest time. Avoid setting the temperature too low. - Clean the back of the appliance from dust.

First use

Leave the refrigerator to rest for at least four hours before connecting it to the power supply.

It is recommended before first use to clean the interior of the appliance with a solution of baking soda and warm water, then dry the interior well.

During first use, the refrigerator may emit an odor. This will disappear after the appliance has been running for a while.

Please note:

Set the thermostat to -18°C for the freezer to reach the correct temperature.

If the appliance is switched off, wait at least five minutes before switching it on again to prevent unnecessary damage to the compressor. Never store flammable or explosive items, or corrosive acids or bases in the appliance.

The refrigerator cools food by evaporating refrigerant in the back wall of the sealed compartment. It is normal for frost to form on this surface; it will melt and drain away through a small hole, which is harmless.

Check the appliance for damage before installation.

1. Place the cap on the screw from the left side of the appliance.
2. Remove the cap from the screw from the left side.

1. Close the door and mount the hinges, then install the screws.

Checking the correct adjustment of the door:

It is normal for the adjustment to compress, especially when the door is closed. When the door is closed, use a screwdriver to widen the adjustment and fill the gap between the door and the cabinet. Be careful not to tighten the screwdriver too much into the cabinet, as this may damage the adjustment. A distance of about 10 cm should be sufficient. When you are done, leave the adjustment and the door to cool before you check them. After you finish, the adjustment should remain in place.

It is recommended to set the temperature to 4° C in the refrigerator compartment and, when possible, to -18° C in the freezer. For most food categories, the recommended storage time in the refrigerator compartment is achieved at the coldest temperatures. However, some specific products (for example, fresh fish and vegetables) may be damaged by too low temperatures, so it is recommended to store them in the crisper drawer for fresh produce, if available. If the refrigerator does not have a crisper drawer, set the thermostat to a medium setting. For frozen food, follow the storage time indicated on the packaging. This storage time is achieved when the setting corresponds to the reference temperature of the compartment (one star -6° C, two stars -12° C, three stars -18° C)

Tips for storing food in the refrigerator

Keep the temperature of the refrigerator at 5°C. The food must be cooled to the required temperature before being stored in the refrigerator. The food stored in the refrigerator must be clean and dry. Food that is to be stored must be properly covered to prevent changes in aroma or taste. It is recommended that food be covered with neutral materials that do not allow air and water to pass through, are non-toxic and do not cause contamination, to avoid contamination or transfer of odors. The recommended air outlet in the refrigerator compartment should not be blocked. Do not store excessive amounts of food. Leave spaces between food items so that cold air can circulate around them, which ensures better and more uniform cooling.

Leave distances between the food items and the inner walls so that air can circulate. In particular, do not store food that is close to the expiration date, as it may freeze. The ripening of some fruits and vegetables (e.g., pears, bananas, pineapples, etc.) may be accelerated in the refrigerator; therefore, it is not recommended to store them in the refrigerator. The ripening of many green vegetables can be stimulated for a certain period. Onions, garlic, ginger, and other root vegetables should be stored at room temperature.

Advice on freezing fresh food

The freezer is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time. Place the fresh food you want to freeze in the freezer. The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the data plate. The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period, do not add other food for freezing.

Advice on storing food in the freezer

Keep the temperature of the freezer at -18°C. The food must be cooled to the required temperature before being stored in the freezer. Food placed in small portions freezes faster and is easier to thaw and cook. The recommended weight for each portion is under 2.5 kg, and it is best for the food to be packaged before placing it in the freezer. Thawed food cannot be refrozen unless it has been cooked. Do not exceed the maximum quantities of fresh food in the freezer. Food can be stored in the freezer at a temperature of -18°C or lower for a period of 2 to 12 months, depending on the characteristics (e.g., meat: 3 to 12 months, vegetables: 6 to 12 months). Do not exceed the storage time for food, as recommended by the manufacturers.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning.

General information

The appliance must be cleaned every four weeks for good performance and to prevent the transfer of odors from stored food.

Clean the interior and exterior of the appliance with lukewarm water and a little neutral detergent. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Clean the accessories only with lukewarm water and neutral detergent. Make sure the detergent is well rinsed and all parts are dry before putting them back in the appliance. Do not wash any of the appliance parts in a dishwasher. Wait at least 5 minutes before switching the appliance back on, as frequent starting may damage the compressor.

Replacing the light bulbs

The interior light is produced by LEDs. To replace the lamp, contact the customer service department.

Troubleshooting

Door open alarm

When the appliance door has been left open for more than 1 minute, the door open alarm will sound. The alarm can be silenced by closing the door or pressing the "SET" button (this will not affect the temperature setting, it will only silence the alarm).

Use for long periods of time

If the appliance is used for an extended period of time:

1. 1. Remove all food and close the appliance door. 2. Clean as described in the section "Cleaning and Maintenance - General Information".
2. Leave the appliance door / freezer door open to prevent the development of mold inside.

Power failure

In case of a power failure, food should remain cold for a certain number of hours according to the data table. Follow the recommendations during the power failure, especially in summer:

Open the door / freezer door as rarely as possible. Do not put other food in the appliance during the power failure. If you have received a warning about a power failure and its duration is longer than the hours indicated in the data table, place the food in the upper part of the refrigerator compartment. The storage time and quality of the food will be reduced. Any food that has thawed must be consumed or refrozen immediately (if appropriate) to avoid potential health risks.

The appliance is intended for installation in household or similar premises.

The product is intended and manufactured solely for household use.

Using the freezer

The freezer compartment is intended for storing only frozen products. Never place hot or warm products in the freezer; let them cool completely before placing them in the freezer. - Follow the instructions on the packaging for storing frozen products. For best quality, products should be stored no longer than three months after the date of purchase. Store them in small packages (ideally less than 1 kg). This reduces freezing time and improves quality after thawing. - Before placing products in the freezer, wrap them well. To prevent odor transfer, make sure they are dry. - Label the food before freezing, indicating the type of product, storage date, and expiration date. - Thawed food must not be refrozen. Thaw only as much as needed to avoid waste. - Do not store bottled or canned drinks in the freezer, as they may burst.

The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen within 24 hours is 2.0 kg. Do not exceed this maximum quantity.

Overview

** The illustration is provided for reference only. The actual configuration may vary depending on the model or the distributor's specifications.

Storage

The refrigerator compartment is intended for short-term storage of food. Despite its ability to maintain low temperatures, it is not recommended to store food in it for extended periods.

Since cold air circulates inside the refrigerator, the temperature in different sections may vary. Therefore, food items should be stored in different sections according to their type.

1. Butter, cheese
2. In jars and containers
3. Eggs, milk, ready meals
4. Vegetables, canned goods, fruits

The refrigerator shelves can be moved according to the storage requirements in the refrigerator compartment. To reposition a shelf, remove the front part, then slide the shelf out of the appliance.

Insert the plug back into the socket and lower the shelf.

For maximum energy efficiency, the appliance should be installed with the drawers, product drawers, and shelves removed; see image.

Control panel

Temperature setting for the refrigerator. After disconnecting from the power source, the refrigerator will be set to a value of 3, which is the default setting.

"Power" button (on/off): located on the left, performs the on/off function with a long press of 3 seconds.

"Adjust" button (adjustment): located on the right, performs the temperature adjustment function for the refrigerator.

Temperature adjustment:

The internal temperature of the refrigerator is adjusted by pressing the "Adjust" button. With each press, the setting changes from 1 to 5, representing different temperatures from the lowest to the highest.

(if external handle is present)

1. Unscrew the handle screws from the left side

1. Install the screw caps on the left side
2. Remove the screw caps from the right side

1. Set the handle to the right side.

Alarm signal is activated.

When the door of the appliance is left open for more than 1 minute, an alarm signal for the open door sounds. The alarm signal can be turned off by closing the door or pressing the SET button (this does not affect the temperature setting, it simply turns off the alarm signal).

Non-use of the appliance for a long period of time

If the appliance is not used for a long period of time:

1. Remove the products and disconnect the power cord.
2. Clean the appliance as described in the section "Care and Cleaning - General Information".
3. Keep the door and the freezer drawer/door open to prevent the formation of unpleasant odors inside the appliance.

Power failure

In the event of a power failure, the products will remain cold for the time specified on the rating plate. Follow the instructions below during a prolonged power outage, especially in summer:

Open the door/drawer as rarely as possible. Do not add additional products to the appliance during a power outage. If you receive an advance warning of a power outage and the duration of such an outage exceeds the number of hours specified on the rating plate, make ice and store it on the top shelf of the freezer compartment. The storage time will be shortened, and the quality will decrease. Any thawed products should be cooked or refrozen (where appropriate) to avoid health risks.
