Position the appliance and allow it to stand for two to three hours before it is turned on for the first time to allow the system to settle. Do not position next to any heat source e.g. cooker, boiler or in direct sunlight etc.

Allow at least 10cm of space at the top and 10cm of space on both sides of the appliance and between the back of the appliance and the wall for adequate air circulation. The appliance is not designed for recessed installation ("building in"). Install on a good firm level surface, and any unevenness of the floor should be corrected prior to installation, slight unevenness can be overcome by adjusting the front feet.

NOTE: If the appliance is positioned on a carpet, soft floor covering you should readjust the front feet once the appliance has had time to settle.

ENGLISH

USE

• This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperature between 16^ and 38^ . If these temperatures are exceeded, i.e. colder or warmer, the appliance will not operate correctly. If the ambient temperatures are exceeded for long periods, the temperature in the freezer section will rise above -18^ and food spoilage may occur.

• Remove all packaging materials from the appliance. Wash the inside of the cabinet with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 liter of water). Dry the appliance thoroughly.

• When you use the freezer for the first time or after defrosting, set the thermostat control to the maximum position for at least 2 hours before introducing food to be stored, and then readjust to the normal position.

ENGLISH

• If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 12 hours. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.

ENGLISH

SETTING THE THERMOSTAT KNOB

The temperature in the freezer is controlled by the thermostat control knob inside the freezer. Turn the thermostat control knob up or down to regulate the temperature inside the freezer. The markings on control knob indicated the "MIN, NORMAL, MAX and OFF" for the different temperature grades. The temperature decreases with position MIN being the warmest and position MAX being the coldest. Set the control to position NORMAL for normal use, but you may set the control to other positions if you find NORMAL is too cold or too warm.

SHOPPING FOR FROZEN FOOD

The appliance is rated as a 4 star freezer and can freeze fresh food and store pre-frozen food. When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will be able to store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the 4 star rating.

GB-12

GB-13

ENGLISH

FREEZING FRESH FOOD

Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most hygienic conditions as freezing alone does not improve the food.

Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into the freezer.

Prior to freezing the food, food should always be covered tightly with foil, plastic film, placed in plastic bags or stored in airtight containers.

This will prevent food from dehydrating and to prevent any strong odors of some foods transferring to milder ones.

To freeze raw meat, wrap in plastic bags or in airtight containers and place on the lowest shelf to avoid cross contamination.

Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked foods. For safety, only store raw meat for two or three days. Fruit and vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the crisper.

Milk and other liquids should be sealed with lids and placed in the bottle shelf in the door.

ENGLISH

NOTE: The ambient temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened affect the temperature in the refrigerator. If required, change the thermostat temperature settings.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

All frozen food you purchase should be placed in the freezer as soon as possible to avoid them from defrosting and spoiling.

All storage recommendations printed on the packaging of frozen food by the manufacturer should always be followed.

When using the freezer for the first time or after defrosting, set the thermostat knob to the maximum position for at least 2 hours before introducing food to be stored, and then readjust it to the normal position.

The technical data mentioned in the 'Specifications' are obtained in the case that the freezing drawers are removed.

ENGLISH

ENERGY-SAVING TIPS

Install the fridge or freezer in a cool place out of direct sunlight and away from cookers, heaters, dishwashers or any hot air emitting items.

Do not set the freezer temperatures lower than necessary. Set the internal temperature within the correct range e.g. adjust the thermostat at middle position -18^ in the freezer respectively.

Let pre-cooked foods cool down before placing them in the fridge or freezer. This will prevent the internal temperature of the fridge from rising. Keep your freezer full, but not over crowded, Try to leave about 20% free space for air circulation.

To prevent cold air escaping, limit the frequency of opening door. When retuning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your freezer before opening the door. Only open the door to put food in or take it out.

ENGLISH

Make sure the door seal is clean and in good condition. Defrost regularly or when ice is more than 5mm thick. Thick ice covering the inner sides significantly increases energy use.

Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on the frost build-up inside the appliance.

Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.

Follow the following stages to reverse the door from its initial position.

1. Remove the right top hinge cover and unscrew the top hinge.

1. Remove the door from bottom.

ENGLISH

1. Unscrew the screws on the bottom hinge.

1. Remove the bottom hinge and adjustable foot.

GB-19GB-18

ENGLISH

1. Install the bottom hinge and adjustable foot to the other side.

1. Install the door on bottom hinge and fix the top hinge.

1. Install the top hinge cover.

ENGLISH

Note:

Ensure the Appliance is unplugged and empty. Adjust the two leveling feet to their highest position.

We recommend you have someone to assist you. To take the door off it is necessary to tilt the appliance backward.

The refrigerator inclination angle should be less than 45^ .

You should rest the Appliance on something solid e.g. a chair just below the top panel.

Do not lay the Appliance completely flat as this may damage the coolant system.

ENGLISH

MAINTENANCE

FREEZER DEFROSTING

Frost will accumulate inside the freezer depending upon the length of time during which the door is left open or the amount of moisture introduced.

It is essential to ensure that no frost or ice is allowed to form at places where it will affect the close fitting of the door seal.

This might allow air to penetrate the cabinet, thus encouraging continuous running of the compressor.

Thin frost formation is quite soft and can be removed with a brush or plastic scraper. Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process.

Remove all dislodged frost from the cabinet floor. For the removal of thin frost it is not necessary to switch off the appliance.

For the removal of heavy ice deposits disconnect the appliance from the mains supply and empty the contents into cardboard boxes and wrap in thick blankets or layers of paper to keep them cold. Defrosting will be most effective if carried

ENGLISH

out when the freezer is empty, and it should be carried out as quickly as possible.

An increase in temperature of frozen food packages during defrosting will shorten the storage life. Provided that the contents are well wrapped and placed in a cool area, they should keep for several hours.

Examine the contents when replacing them in the freezer and if some of the packages have thawed out.

After defrosting is finished clean the inside with a solution of warm water with a little bicarbonate of soda and then dry thoroughly. Wash all removable parts in the same way and reassemble. Reconnect the appliance to the mains supply and leave for 2 to 3 hours on setting number MAX before introducing the food back into the freezer and setting the thermostat to your normal setting.

NOISE FROM YOUR APPLIANCE

You may notice some rather unusual noises. The noises are caused by circulation of refrigerant in the cooling system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your fridge.

CLEANING

1. Unplug the appliance.

2. Remove all substances.

3. Clean the inside and outside walls with a clean sponge or soft cloth using warm water or 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to 1.2 liters of water.

4. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. If the appliance is not to be used for a long period of time then it is recommended to remove all the food stuff, clean the inside of the appliance and leave the door open to allow the airto circulate thus avoiding unpleasant odors.

Dusts behind the refrigerator and on the ground shall be timely cleaned to improve the cooling effect and energy saving.

The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor.

Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there are no debris.

Please turn off the power before cleaning, remove all food, shelves, drawers, etc.

Clean the door gasket with mild soap and water.

Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigerator, with two tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of warm water.

Then rinse with water and wipe clean, and open the door and dry it naturally before the

power is turned on.

For areas that are difficult to clean in the refrigerator (such as narrow sandwiches, gaps or corners), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc. and when necessary, combined with some auxiliary tools (such as thin sticks) to ensure no contaminant accumulation in these areas.

Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray cleaner, etc., as these may cause odors in the interior of the refrigerator.

Clean the bottle frame, shelves and drawers with a mild detergent and dry with a soft cloth.

Wipe the outer surface of the refrigerator with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water, detergent, etc., and then wipe dry.

Do not use hard brushes, clean steel balls, wire brushes, abrasives, such as toothpastes, organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items clean refrigerator considering that this may damage the fridge surface and interior.

Boiling water and benzene may deform or damage plastic parts.

Do not rinse with water so as not to affect the electrical insulation properties.

ENGLISH

It is advisable to clean the appliance regularly and to remove any food deposits or splashes; in particular, clean the door seals, recesses and adjacent parts.

Don't overlook parts of the appliance such as the humidity controller, light casing, racks, egg and butter compartments, ice cube tray, and all of the drainage areas, etc.

If the appliance is not kept clean and in good condition, its surface could deteriorate and inexorably affect the length of its service life, and could lead to a dangerous situation.

The appliance must not be steam cleaned. Use only a non-abrasive sponge, rinse with clean water then dry thoroughly before putting the parts back in place.
