3 before the first use

Leave the appliance to stand for at least 3 hours before you insert the plug into the socket. Otherwise, you may damage the compressor.

Before you use the appliance for the first time, please do as follows: Carefully unpack the appliance and remove all the packaging material. Keep the material (plastic, polystyrene and cardboard) out of reach of children. Check the appliance after unpacking for any damage, possible from transportation. Place the appliance on a flat and stable surface. Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially in the interior, before use (see Cleaning & Maintenance).

The installation procedure is given in the Installation Instructions.

The appliance must be connected with a properly installed fused socket. The power supply (AC) and voltage at the operating point must correspond with the details on the rating label of the appliance. The rating label is located on the inside left of the appliance. There can be an odor when you first switch on the appliance. It will disappear after the appliance starts to cool.

Install the plastic distance guide by turning it 90° as shown in the figure to prevent the condensor from touching the wall.

To ensure well functioning of your appliance make sure the adjustable front legs are adjusted so your appliance is level and stable. You can adjust the legs by turning them clockwise (or in the opposite direction). This should be done before placing food in the appliance.

First clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm water and a neutral detergent. After cleaning, rinse the interior with clean water and rub dry. Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours.

4 how to operate the appliance

THERMOSTAT SETTING

The thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the compartment. By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be obtained. Note: rotating the knob beyond position 1 to “•” will stop the appliance.

4 5 3 2 1

FREEZER THERMOSTAT SETTING

1-2: for short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob between the minimum and medium position.

3-4: for long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob to the medium position.

5: for freezing fresh food. The appliance will run for colder temperatures.

Set the thermostat on setting 3. The appliance now cools continuously until the set temperature has been reached. Do not place anything in the freezer until the set temperature is reached. This usually takes 2 or 3 hours. Then set the thermostat at the desired setting and place food into the freezer.

FOR A+ MODELS

The freezer compartment, marked with the **** symbol, is used for storing frozen food and freezing fresh or cooked food. It also allows the making of ice cubes.

Attention:

The ambient air temperature, how often the door is opened and the position of the appliance can affect the internal temperature. These factors must be taken into account when setting the thermostat.

• Never introduce volatile, inflammable or explosive fluids such as alcohol, acetone or petrol because of the risk of explosion.
• A 5 minute delaying function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your appliance, when you take the plug out and then plug it in again to operate it or when an energy breakdown occurs. Your appliance will start to operate normally after 5 minutes.

ACCESSORIE

Ice tray

• Fill the ice tray with water and place it in the freezer compartment.
  • After the water has completely turned into ice, you can twist the tray as shown below to get the ice cubes out of the tray.

5 food storage in the appliance

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh foods and for storing frozen foods for the period of time on the packaging and for making ice cubes.

• Do not freeze too large an amount of food at one time; the faster the food is frozen, the longer is preserves its qualities.
• Wrap and seal fresh food properly. The packaging should be air tight and shouldn't leak.
• Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after purchase. Make sure that it doesn't defrost during transport.
• The length of time you can keep food depends very much on the quality of the food.
  • Always mark the date and the content on the pack and do not exceed the stated storage time.
• Do not place hot food or evaporating liquids in the freezer.
• Do not store glass bottles or containers with liquids in the freezer which will freeze. The freezing may cause the bottles to break. Highly carbonated drinks can even explode. Never keep lemonade, fruit juice, beer, wine, champagne, etc. in the freezer.
• Once the food is thawed, it must not be refrozen: you must cook it as quickly as possible in order to consume or to freeze again.
  • To avoid the cold air escaping, try not to open the door too often and not leave the door open for a long time.
• In case of a power failure or malfunction, the freezer compartment will maintain a sufficiently low temperature for food storage. However, avoid opening the door to slow down the temperature rise within the appliance.
• The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing frozen foods are indicated on the packaging. For storing and using, follow the instructions on the packaging. If no information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3 months.

6 cleaning & maintenance

Before cleaning the refrigerator always unplug the appliance.

Clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm water and a neutral detergent to prevent any bad smells occurring. After cleaning, rinse the interior with clean water and rub dry. Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours. Simply remove the drawers to clean them by hand. Do not clean the interior accessories in the dishwasher.

Clean the outside of the freezer and the gasket with a soft moist cloth.

We recommend that you dus the back of the appliance with a cloth or vacuum cleaner once a year in order to maintain a good output and low energy consumption.

DEFROSTING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

Defrost the freezer compartment when the layer of ice reaches a thickness of 3 to 5 mm. Keep the contents of the freezer in a cool place and wrapped in blankets or newspapers. Switch the thermostat off to “•” and unplug the appliance. Defrost the freezer compartment.

You can speed up the defrosting process by placing a bowl of hot water in the freezer.

1. Remove the bottom drawer and place it on the floor aligning it to the front of the freezer.
2. Pull the drain pipe from the back of the wall inside the freezer compartment and place it in the groove on the front side of the floor of the appliance.

Remove water which not flows into the drawer with a sponge.

Clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm water and a neutral detergent to prevent any bad smells occurring. After cleaning, rinse the interior with clean water and rub dry. Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours.

Switch the thermostat on to the right setting. When the freezer compartment reaches its correct temperature, replace the food items.

Warning: Never remove the ice with the aid of sharp objects, defrost sprays, a hair-drier, a heater, or similar items. This may lead to unsafe situations and may cause irreparable damage to the appliance.

TIPS

• High ambient temperatures have a negative effect on energy use. Keep the refrigerator in a position away from direct sunlight or other sources of heat.
• Keep ventilation openings free. Clogged openings lead to higher use of energy.
• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, mind to close it as soon as possible.
• Turn the thermostat to a lower setting when the circumstances allow it.
• Before storing fresh cooked food, make sure the food has cooled at least to room temperature.
• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3 to 5mm thick.
• If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is poor, the energy consumption is substantially higher. To restore efficiency, replace the gasket.
• Keep the condensor on the rear wall always clean, free of dust or any impurities.
  • Always consider the instructions, otherwise the energy consumption is substantially higher.
