Pure technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly without any text, numbers, or symbolsNote: Due to unceasing modification of our products your refrigerator may be slightly different from this Instruction Manual, but its functions and using methods remain the same.
Control panel
For optimum food preservation, a medium setting (3) is generally the most suitable.
NOTE: High temperature setting will accelerate food waste.
The thermostat control situated in the control panel regulates the temperature of the freezer compartment.
- IPosition "1" -Cold.
- IPosition "3" -Colder.normally, setting at this position.
- IPosition "5" -Coldest.
The temperature will be affected by:
- IRoom temperature
● How often the door is opened
● How much food is stored - Position of the appliance In determining the correct temperature
control setting, all these factors have to be considered and some experimentation may be necessary. Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play with the product.
Important!
Normally, we advise you select a setting of 3 (medium setting); if you want the temperature higher or lower, please turn the knob to a warmer or colder setting accordingly.
When you turn the knob to a colder setting, this can lead to the more energy efficiency.
Otherwise, it would result the consumption of energy.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on the temperature regulator (position max) can cause the compressor to run continuously or even non-stop!
Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must run continuously to maintain the low temperature in the appliance.
The Freezer Compartment
The *** symbol means that your freezer will store frozen food at -18°C(-0.4F) or colder allowing for long term frozen food storage and freezing of fresh food. The freezer temperature is controlled automatically by the thermostat situated in the control panel. Due to the different installations, methods of usage and weather conditions, adjustments to the temperature settings may be required.
These are best assessed against a temperature reading on a thermometer buried in the frozen food. The reading must be taken quickly as the thermometer temperature will rise rapidly after removal.
Freezing fresh food
Place the fresh food on the top freezer evaporator part. Food may need rearranging to achieve this. During the freezing process the temperature of fresh food should be reduced quickly so that ice crystals are kept as small as possible to prevent damaging the structure of food. If freezing takes place slowly large ice crystals form and these will affect the quality of food once it has defrosted.
Frozen Food Storage
The appliance has the following net storage volume: 30 litres. This is a standard measurement and the actual capacity depends upon the density and sizes of the food.
Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions for a 4 star frozen food compartment and should be put in the freezer as soon as possible after purchase. Your freezer provides for long term storage which generally means up to 3 months but the length of the time can vary and it is important to follow the recommended times shown on packets of commercially frozen food. Do not place sealed containers or carbonated liquids such as fizzy drinks into the freezer as it creates pressure on the container which may cause it to explode resulting to damage to the freezer. Ice cubes and ice lollies should not be consumed immediately after removal from the freezer as it may result in low temperature skin abrasions. Manufacturers storage times should be adhered to.
First use and installation
Cleaning before use
● Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand new product, then dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
Installation Positioning
Warning! Before installing, read the instructions carefully for your safety e correct operation of the appliance.
- Position the appliance away from sources of heat such as stoves, radiators, direct sunlight, etc.
● Maximum performance and safety are guaranteed by maintaining the correct indoor temperature for the class of unit concerned, as specified on the rating plate. - This appliance performs well from N to ST. The appliance may not work properly if it is left for a longer period at a temperature above or below the indicated range.
Important! It is necessary to have good ventilation around the freezer to allow for the dissipation of heat, high efficiency, and low power consumption. For this reason, sufficiently cleared space should be available around the freezer. It is advisable for there to be 50-70mm separating the back of the freezer to the wall at least 100mm of space on its two sides, a height of over 100mm from its top and a clear space in front to allow the doors to open 160°.
| Climate class | Ambient temperature |
| SN | +10°C to +32°C |
| N | +16°C to +32°C |
| ST | +16°C to +38°C |
| T | +16°C to +43°C |
● Appliances must not be exposed to rain. Sufficient air must be allowed to circulate in the lower rear section of the appliance, as poor air circulation can affect performance. Built-in appliances should be positioned away from heat sources such as heaters and direct sunlight.
Leveling
● The appliance should be level in order to eliminate vibration. To make the appliance level, it should be upright and both adjusters should be in stable contact with the floor. You can also adjust the level by unscrewing the appropriate level adjustment in the front (use your fingers or a suitable spanner).

Helpful hints and tips
Noises during operation
Clicks- Whenever the compressor switches on or off, a click can be heard.
Humming- As soon as the compressor is in operation, you can hear it humming.
Bubbling- When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear bubbling or splashing noises.
Splashing- Even after the compressor has been switched off, this noise can be heard for a short time.
Energy saving tips
- Do not install the appliance near stoves, radiators or other sources of warmth.
- keep the time the appliance is open to a minimum.
- Do not set the temperature colder than necessary.
● Make sure the side plates and back plate of the appliance are at some distance from the wall, and follow the instructions relevant to installation. - If the diagram shows the correct combination for the drawers, crisper and shelves, do not adjust the combination as it would produce effect on energy consumption.
Hints for freezing
- When first starting-up or after a period out of use. Before putting the food in the compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.
● Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity required.
- Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polyethylene (plastic) and make sure that packages are airtight.
- Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food that is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter.
● Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause skin to become freezer burnt.
- It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in order to keep track of the storage time.
Note: To get the best energy efficiency of this product, please place all shelves, drawers on their original position.

- Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption; clean the condenser at the back of the appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.(Only for the outside-condenser product)
- Check the water drain hole on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.
- Clear a blocked drain hole with the aid of something like soft green peg, an be careful not to create any damage to the cabinet by sharp objects.
● After everything is dry, the appliance back into service.
Defrosting
Defrosting in frozen food storage compartment
● Defrosting in the freezer chamber is operated manually. Before defrosting, take the food out.
● Take the ice tray and drawers out or put them into the fresh food compartment temporarily.
- Leave the door of the refrigerator open until ice and frost dissolve thoroughly and accumulate at the bottom of the freezer chamber. Wipe out the water with soft cloth.
- In order to speed up the process of defrosting, you may put a bowl of warm water (about 50°C) into the freezer chamber and scrape away the ice and frost with a defrosting spatula. After doing so, be sure to set the knob of the temperature regulator to the original position.
- It is not advisable to heat the freezer chamber directly with hot water or hair dryer while defrosting to avoid deformation of the inner case.
- It is also not advisable to scrape off ice and frost or separate foods from the containers which have been congealed together with the food with sharp tools or wooden bars, so as not to damage the inner casing or the surface of the evaporator.
