WARNING: To avoid any risk due to the instability of the appliance, it must be secured as per the instructions.

• Place your refrigerator on a stable, level surface. Your appliance will be heavy when loaded with food: it must, therefore, be placed on a strong, solid floor.

• The appliance must be installed in a dry, well-ventilated room at room temperature (10°C minimum and 38°C maximum).
  • The appliance should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
  • The appliance must not be exposed to rain.
  • The appliance must not be installed next to a radiator, a stove or any other heat source.

• The appliance's energy consumption and efficient operation are affected by the room temperature.
  • The appliance must be installed in such a way that the power point is accessible.

• After installing it, make sure that it is not resting on its power cord.

Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket for the first time, please let the appliance rest for two hours if the appliance was transported in an upright position, or 24 hours if the appliance was transported in the horizontal position. This is to allow the refrigerant gas to go back down into the compressor. Failure to comply with this waiting period may damage the compressor.

Storage and energy saving tips

• Do not put hot food or evaporating liquids inside the refrigerator. Wait for anything cooked to cool completely before storing it (for example: soup).
  • Always pack products to prevent different foods from contaminating each other.
• Store only fresh foods, cleaned and wrapped in appropriate food packaging or containers.
• Never cover the shelves with paper or plastic sheets. Arrange food so that air can circulate freely around it.
  • Make sure that the food does not touch the walls of the appliance, especially the back wall.
• Do not leave the door open for a long time because hot air will enter the refrigerator and the cold air inside will escape, thereby wasting energy.

• In the event of a power cut, do not open the door.
- Make sure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly.
- Do not set the temperature to a colder temperature than necessary.

Cleaning

Unplug the appliance before you clean it.

We recommend that you regularly clean and disinfect your appliance.

1. Remove the fresh food from the refrigerator. Wrap it up and store it in a cool place.
2. Clean the appliance and accessories inside with a soft (non-abrasive) sponge dipped in a solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water or soapy, lukewarm water. Remove the door shelves by lifting them upwards. Do not forget to clean the door seals.
3. After cleaning, rinse with clean water and dry the parts thoroughly with a soft cloth.

4. Once everything is dry, reassemble the refrigerator. Put the door shelves back by sliding them in from the top.

5. Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. The moisture generate can accumulate on the electrical components and could expose users to the risk of an electric shock! Hot steam can also damage parts made with plastic.

6. Never use abrasive or caustic products, or sponges with scouring pads to clean the inside or outside of your appliance.
7. Do not use hot water to clean the glass shelves if they are cold. There is a risk that the glass will shatter because of the sudden change in temperature which could cause injury and serious damage.
   • IMPORTANT: Never put oil or oily dishes in the refrigerator in open containers as the fatty substances can damage the plastic surfaces of the refrigerator. If you spill or splash oil on the plastic surfaces, clean it up and immediately wash the affected parts with hot water.
