4.1 Switching on your unit

OFF setting: Unit off MIN setting: Lower cooling temperature MED setting: Normal temperature (suitable for most situations) On high ambient temperature days, for example in summer, it may be necessary to set the thermostat to the coldest setting (MAX position). This may cause the compressor to run continuously to maintain a low temperature in the refrigerator. The first time you start the refrigerator, set the thermostat to MED. The thermostat knob controls the temperature: when it is in the OFF position, the refrigerator will not be running. Allow the refrigerator to cool down completely before putting food in it. It is best to wait 24 hours.

4.2 Food preservation tips

Cooked meat and fish should always be stored on a shelf away from raw meat and fish to avoid possible transfer of bacteria. Store raw meat and fish in a container large enough to catch any juices that may be released and cover it properly. Place the container on the bottom shelf. Leave space around the food and allow air to circulate inside the unit. Check that all parts of the unit are well ventilated. To prevent flavour transfer or food from drying out, store or cover food separately. Always allow cooked food to cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator. This will help to maintain the internal temperature of the unit. To prevent cold air from escaping from inside the unit, try to limit the number of times the door is opened. We recommend that the door is only opened when food needs to be taken in or out.14 V.2

5.1 Cleaning the interior and exterior of the unit

1. Remove all the shelves and the salad bin. To remove the salad bin first

remove the lower door shelf.

2. Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda

and then rinse with warm water using a “wrung-out” sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and salad bin.

3. Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe with a standard

furniture polish. Make sure that the door is closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside the unit.

4. The grille of the condenser at the back of the unit and the adjacent

components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.

5.1 Cleaning the interior and exterior of the unit

Dust behind the refrigerator and the floor should be cleaned regularly to improve the cooling effect and save energy. Check the door rubber regularly to make sure that there is no debris or dirt left on the door. Wipe it with a damp cloth of soap and water or diluted detergent. The inside of the refrigerator should be cleaned often to avoid odours. Disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply before cleaning the interior, and remove all food, beverages, shelves and drawers, etc.... Use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe the inside of the refrigerator with a solution of warm water and two tablespoons of baking soda. Then rinse and wipe it with a cloth. After cleaning, open the door and allow it to air dry before plugging it back in. For areas that are more difficult to clean (such as narrow slots, corners or nooks and crannies), it is advisable to clean them often with a soft cloth or brush and, if necessary, using other tools (such as a toothpick) to ensure that contaminants and bacteria do not build up. Do not use soap, detergent, powders or sprays as these may cause odours inside the refrigerator or contaminate food. Clean the bottle rack frame, shelves and drawers with a soft cloth dampened with soap and water or diluted detergent. Wipe dry with a soft cloth or allow to air dry. Clean the outside surface of the refrigerator with a soft cloth dampened with soap and water or detergent, then wipe dry with a cloth. Do not use hard brushes, aluminium scouring pads, metal brushes, abrasives (such as toothpaste), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline solutions, or anything else that may damage the exterior or interior surface of the refrigerator. Boiling water or organic solvents such as benzene may deform or damage plastic parts. Do not rinse directly with water or other liquids during cleaning to avoid short circuits or affecting the electrical insulation by immersion.15 V.2

6.1 Replacement of the interior bulb

Bulb replacements should only be carried out by professionals.

6.2 Transport of the unit

Hold the unit by the sides or base to move it. Under no circumstances should it be lifted while being held by the edges of the top surface.

6.3 Repair and servicing

The unit should only be repaired by an authorised technician, using only genuine spare parts. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the unit yourself, as repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause serious injury or breakdown. Always contact a qualified professional.

6.4 Long periods of non-use

When the unit is not to be used for a long time, disconnect it from the mains, empty all its contents and clean it, leaving the door ajar to avoid odours.

The surface of the refrigerator may emit heat during operation, especially in summer. This is caused by radiation from the condenser and is a normal phenomenon. Condensation: This may be detected on the outside surface and door seals of the freezer when the ambient humidity is very high, this is normal and can be removed with a dry cloth. Buzzing: May be generated by the compressor during operation, especially during start-up and shut-down.

1) Refrigeration appliances may not operate consistently (contents may

thaw or the temperature may rise in the freezer compartment) when they are located for a long period of time below the minimum temperature of the operating temperature range for which the appliance is designed.

2) Carbonated beverages should not be stored in the freezer or low

temperature compartment, and some products such as slushies should not be consumed very cold.16 V.2

3) The storage time in the refrigerator or freezer recommended by

manufacturers for any type of food should not be exceeded, especially for commercially frozen food.

4) Take precautions to prevent the temperature of frozen food from rising

while the refrigerator is defrosting, such as wrapping the food in several layers of newspaper. If the temperature of these foods rises during defrosting, maintenance or cleaning, it may reduce their shelf life.

You can try to solve these problems yourself. If they are not solved, please contact the official service centre. Non operation Wrap foods with strong odours tightly. Check for spoiled food. Clean the inside of the refrigerator. Smell Check whether the appliance is connected to the mains and whether the plug makes proper contact. Check if the voltage is too low. Check if there is a power failure or if a circuit has failed. This is normal in summer, when the ambient temperature is higher. It is not recommended that the refrigerator is too full. Let the food cool down before putting it in. Doors are opened too often. Compressor is running for a long time The light does not turn on Doors do not close properly Loud noise Check if the refrigerator is connected to the power supply, and if the refrigerator bulb is damaged. If so, have it replaced by a professional. Check that the floor is level and that the refrigerator is stable. Check that the accessories are correctly positioned. Door may be blocked by food. The refrigerator is tilted.17 V.2 DISPOSAL: Do not dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste. It is necessary to collect this waste separately for special treatment. Based on the European directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), household appliances cannot be disposed of in the usual municipal bins; they have to be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of their constituent components and materials and to reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol is marked on all products to remind the consumer of the obligation to separate them for separate collection. The consumer should contact the local authority or the retailer for information regarding the correct disposal of their appliance. Retired units may have residual value and should be disposed of in such a way that the raw materials can be reused. The refrigerant and insulation materials in this unit require special recycling procedures. Check that the tubing at the rear of the unit is not damaged before disposal, and disable any latches or locks and remove the door as a precaution.18 V.2 Table 1 Climate classes
