3. INSTALLATION

Before installing the refrigerator, carefully review the safety information (section 1).

1. Unpack

Remove the packaging materials and dispose of them properly. Check that the appliance is not damaged. Do not connect the appliance if it is damaged. Report any damage immediately to the salesperson via customer service. In that case, keep the packaging.

2. Wait

Wait four hours before connecting the appliance so the oil can flow back to the compressor.

3. Clean

Clean the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap before first use to remove the typical smell of a brand new appliance. Dry everything carefully. Do not use solvents or abrasive powders; these will damage the coating

4. Location

The location where you place your appliance should be well ventilated and the air should not be too warm. Do not place the appliance near a heat source, such as a stove or boiler, and avoid direct sunlight, so as to guarantee the cooling effect and save on energy consumption. Do not place the appliance in a damp place so that it cannot rust and there is no leakage current.

5. Heat dissipation area

During operation, the appliance emits heat to the environment. Therefore there must be at least 10 cm clearance on the top, at least 10 cm on both sides and at least 10 cm at the back of the fridge (see page 40).

6. Installation of the appliance

• This appliance is not intended for use as a built-in refrigerator.
• Use the front adjusting legs to level the appliance. If the appliance is not level, it may affect the performance of the gasket seal or even lead to a failure of your appliance.
• It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply. The plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.
• Place the appliance on a firm and flat surface (floor) so that it is stable, otherwise vibrations and noise may occur. When placing the refrigerator on floor coverings such as carpets, straw mats or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), place a solid sheet or cover under the appliance to prevent colour change due to heat dissipation.
• Before plugging in the power cable, check that the voltage and frequency of the type plate match your power supply network. The appliance must be earthed. The power cable is supplied with a contact for this purpose. If the socket is not earthed, connect the appliance to a separate earth according to current regulations and consult a qualified electrician.

3.1 REVERSE THE DIRECTION IN WHICH THE DOOR OPENS

To remove the door, the appliance must be tilted backwards. We recommend doing this with two people. Rest the appliance on a firm surface so that it does not slip away as you reverse the door.

Keep all removed parts to remount the door later.

Do not lay the appliance down flat. This can damage the cooling system. If the appliance does have to be placed on its back or side for some time during this process, it must be able to stand upright for four hours before connecting it to prevent damage to the internal components.

三Z

4.1 SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

You can set the temperature of the appliance by turning the thermostat button.

• The thermostat can be set to four positions: 'OFF', 'MIN', 'MED' and 'MAX'.
• Turn the knob to 'MIN' and the temperature increases.
• Turn the knob to 'MAX' and the temperature drops.
• The recommended setting is 'MED'.
• Turn the dial to 'OFF' to turn the appliance off.

MAX MED

OFF N/W M/F MED

The internal temperature of the appliance may vary due to the ambient temperature, the amount of products stored and the frequency with which the door is opened.

Note

The thermostat setting 'MAX' is suitable when the ambient temperature is below 16°C, but this can lead to ice formation if the appliance continues to run at such a setting for a long time below the normal ambient temperature, which is a normal phenomenon. In this case we recommend setting the appliance to a higher temperature (position 'MIN', 'MED') provided that the articles in the appliance allow this.

4.2 TIPS FOR DAILY USE

Compartments

• Due to the circulation of cold air in the appliance, the temperature in each part of the appliance is different. Therefore, different types of food should be placed in different places.
• Do not place the food close together as this hinders air circulation. Divide food into several compartments according to the table below:

REFRIGERATOR COM-PARTMENTS	TYPE OF FOOD
Door compartments in the refrigerator compartment	Food with natural preservatives such as jam, juice, drink, spices.Do not store any products with a limited shelf life here.
Crisper drawer	Place fruit, herbs and vegetables separately in the crisper drawer.Do not put bananas, onions, potatoes or garlic in the refrigerator.
Refrigerator shelf - centre	Dairy products, eggs.
Refrigerator shelf - top	Food that does not require preparation such as ready meals, fine meats, leftovers.
Freezer Food for long storage.

Shelves

To remove the shelf, lift it first and then pull it out. To put the shelf back in place, push it into place before lowering. Hold the shelf firmly when removing or replacing it and take care to avoid damage.

Cooling food

• Always refer to the expiry date of the products to know how long they can be stored.
• Pack food in resealable plastic bags, especially if it has a strong taste, and place on the glass shelves above the crisper drawer. Store food only one or at most two days in this way.
• Store raw meat and fish in appropriate food containers in the refrigerator so that it does not leak or come into contact with other foods.
• Do not place hot food or hot plastic parts in the appliance. Make sure it has cooled to room temperature before putting it in the appliance.
• Cooked food that has cooled sufficiently must be covered and can then be placed on any shelf.
• Do not place foods containing a lot of water too close to the back wall of the refrigerator to prevent them from freezing to the inner wall.
• It is best to clean and dry food before storing it in the appliance. It is advisable to store food in sealed packaging in the appliance. This prevents evaporation of water, which keeps fruit and vegetables fresh and also prevents odours.

Freezing food

• The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen food for a long time.
• The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is for this refrigerator: 2 kg.
• The freezing process takes 24 hours. Do not add any other food to freeze during this period.

• Only freeze fresh and thoroughly cleaned foods.

• Prepare the food in small portions so that it is soon completely frozen and can then be thawed in the desired amount.

• Pack the food in aluminium foil or freezer bags and make sure the packets are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, non-frozen food to come into contact with food that has already been frozen, and prevent the temperature of the food that has already been frozen from rising.
• Lean foods are better and more durable than fatty foods; salt shortens the shelf life of food.
• Ice lollies, if eaten directly from the freezer, can cause frostbite.
• It is advisable to indicate the freezing date on each individual package in order to keep track of the shelf life.
• It is advisable to keep the time between buying the food and putting it in the freezer as short as possible.

Storing frozen food

On first use or after a long period of downtime. Run the appliance for at least two hours at the higher positions before putting products in the freezer compartment.

ATTENTION!

• The manufacturer's storage recommendations must be strictly followed. Please refer to the respective instructions.
• Do not keep the door open for too long; this can cause a sharp increase in temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
• Frozen food may not be refrozen after thawing.
• In the case of unexpected thawing, for example if a power failure lasts longer than the value specified in the technical properties under "temperature rise value", the thawed food must be consumed quickly or prepared immediately and then frozen again (after preparation).

4.3 SAVING ENERGY

• The most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the drawers in the lower part of the appliance and with the shelves evenly distributed. The position of the door trays does not affect energy consumption.
• Do not open the door or leave it open more often than necessary.
• Do not set the temperature too high to save energy unless the characteristics of the food require it.
• If the ambient temperature is high, the temperature control is set to a low temperature and the appliance is fully filled, the compressor can be on continuously, causing ice to form on the evaporator. In this case, set the temperature control to a higher temperature to defrost the evaporator and thus save energy.
• Ensure proper ventilation. Do not cover the vents or holes.
• Place frozen food in the fresh food compartment to defrost: the low temperature of the frozen food helps to cool the fresh food and thus saves energy.
• Replace the door gasket in good time to prevent poor door closing.

5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning the appliance, carefully review the safety information (Section 1). For hygienic reasons, the inside of the appliance, including accessories, should be cleaned regularly.

! CAUTION!

• Remove the plug from the socket before cleaning. Never touch the plug with wet hands because of the risk of electric shocks and injury.
• Do not spill water directly onto the appliance to prevent rust, leakage and accidents.
• Do not put your hands in the bottom of the fridge as the sharp metal corners can cause scratches.
• Do not use water jets and steam to clean the appliance.
• To prevent damage, do not use a hard brush, steel brush, detergent, soap powder, alkaline detergent, benzene, petrol, acids, chlorine, abrasive powders, hot water or other corrosive or soluble substances to clean the cabinet surface, door gasket or plastic decorative parts.
• Do not use electrical appliances (such as a hairdryer or heater) to defrost your appliance.

Attention!

The electrical parts of the appliance may only be cleaned with a dry cloth.

Interior and exterior cleaning

• Food residues in the appliance can cause a bad smell. The appliance should therefore be cleaned regularly. The fresh food compartment is preferably cleaned monthly.
• Remove all shelves, fruit and vegetable compartment, bottle racks, cover plate, drawers, etc. and clean with a soft cloth or sponge moistened with warm water or a neutral detergent.
• If you are using cleaning agents, clean with a soft cloth or sponge, and wipe dry.
• Regularly remove the dust from the back panel and side plates of the appliance. Use a dry cloth for this (no water).
• If the appliance has been empty for a long time, turn it off, defrost, clean, dry and leave the door open to avoid mould forming in the appliance.
