INSTALLATION

WARNING! The appliance is heavy. Always handle with at least two persons.

Before first use

Remove all packaging materials.
Clean the appliance with water and a mild detergent and dry it with soft cloth.
➢ Check if power supply, socket and fusing are appropriate to the rating plate.
➢ Check if the power socket is earthed and no multi-plug or extension is present.
➢ Check if the power plug is accessible after the appliance has been positioned.
➢ Refrigerator and freezer temperature are automatically set at 4^ C and -18°C respectively. These are the recommended settings. If desired, you can change these temperature manually. See Adjust the temperature.

Environmental conditions

This appliance should be installed in a room that is dry and well ventilated.
Do not install the appliance near other heat-emitting appliances (ovens, refrigerators) without isolation or exposed to direct sunlight.
If this appliance is situated in a cold environment (such as a shed, outhouse or garage), the performance will be affected and this may damage the food.

Install this product in a position where the ambient temperature is not lower or higher than the operating temperature: in this case the appliance does not work properly.

• Extended temperate (SN): 'this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C'.
• Temperate (N): 'this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C'.
• Subtropical (ST): 'this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 38 °C'.
• Tropical (T): 'this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 43 °C'.

Levelling the appliance (only for appliances that are equipped with levelling feet)

The appliance should be placed on a flat and solid surface
40. Tilt the appliance slightly backwards.
41. Turn the feet clockwise to raise the refrigerator.
42. Turn the feet counter clockwise to lower the refrigerator.

Moving the appliance

1. Remove all food and unplug the appliance.
2. Secure shelves and other moveable parts in the fridge and in the freezer with adhesive tape.
3. Do not tilt the refrigerator more than 45^ to avoid damaging the refrigerating system.

TIPS FOR FOOD STORAGE

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

Refrigerator compartment	Type of food
Door or balconies of fridge compartment	Foods with natural preservatives, such as jams, juices, drinks, condimentsDo not store perishable foods
Crisper drawers (salad drawer)	Fruits, herbs and vegetables should be placed separately in the crisper binDo 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 storageBottom drawer for raw meat, poultry, fishMiddle drawer for frozen vegetables, chipsTop tray for ice cream, frozen fruit, frozen baked goods

It's suggested to set the temperature at 4^ in the fridge compartment, and, whether possible, at -18^ 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 crisper 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 no 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 greed 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 foot 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.

Pomeranje uređaja

1. Izvadite svu hranu i isključite uređaj.
2. Lepljivom trakom osigurajte police i druge pokretne delove u frižideru i u zamrzivaču.
3. Nemojte naginjati frižider više od 45° kako biste izbegli oštećenje rashladnog sistema.

SAVETI ZA ČUVANJE HRANE

Različite vrste hrane stavljajte u različite pregrade u skladu sa sledećom tabelom:

Pregrada u frižideru	Vrsta hrane
Pregrade u vratima frižidera	Hrana s prirodnim konzervansima kao što su džemovi, sokovi, pića, začiniNemojte čuvati kvarljivu hranu
Providne fioke (salatna fioka)	Voće, začinske biljke i povrće treba stavljati zasebno u providnu pregraduU frižideru nemojte čuvati banane, luk, krompir, beli luk
Polica u frižideru – srednja	Mlečni proizvodi, jaja
Polica u frižideru – gornja	Hrana koja se ne kuva kao što su gotova jela, delikatesn meso, ostaci hrane
Fioka(e) u zamrzivaču	Hrana koja se dugo čuvaDonja fioka za sirovo meso, živinsko meso, ribuSrednja fioka za smrznuto povrće, krompirGornja fioka za sladoled, smrznuto voće, smrznuta peciv

Preporučuje se da se temperatura frižidera podesi na 4 °C a, kad god je moguće, temperatura zamrzivača na -18 °C.
Za većinu kategorija hrane koju je potrebno duže držati u pregradi frižidera, najbolje je čuvati je na nižim temperaturama. S obzirom da neki proizvodi (kao što su sveže voće i povrće) mogu biti oštećeni na nižim temperaturama, preporučuje se čuvanje u providnim fiokama ako postoje. Ako ne postoje, održavajte prosečna podešavanja termostata.
Kada je reč o smrznutoj hrani, na pakovanju treba videti koje je vreme čuvanja. To vreme čuvanja važi kada se poštuju referentne temperature pregrade (jedna zvezdica -6 °C, dve zvezdice -12 °C, tri zvezdice -18 °C).
