Tips for use

• Each time you open the appliance door, a warm air gets inside. That creates an under pressure inside the appliance. It may take a few moments before the pressure gets equalised and it will be possible to open the door easily.
• We do not recommend putting hot food or fluids that are still evaporating inside the appliance. It will increase the humidity inside the refrigerator.
• Food intended for refrigerating should be wrapped or covered. It is recommended to use plastic bags, kitchen foil or food paper. Liquids should be stored in closed containers or bottles.

It can be caused by expanding and shrinking of the items inside the refrigerator and freezer.

Short cracking

It can be heard when the thermostat turns on and off the compressor.

Noise of the compressor

Running compressor produces noise. After the installation of the appliance, the compressor may be a little louder for a short time.

Bubbling and flowing

This sound is generated when the refrigerant is flowing through the appliance pipes.

Sound of running water

Water flows into the evaporator groove during the defrosting process and it is audible throughout the defrosting process.

Connection to the mains

• Be sure that the voltage and current match the values on the appliance rating plate. We recommend using a separate outlet with a 16 A circuit breaker.
• Only use grounded sockets.
• Do not use multiple sockets, plugs and extension cords. There is a risk of overheating.
• The plug of the power cord on the appliance must be freely accessible even after the installation.
  • Changes in a connection may only be performed by a qualified professional.
• Electrical safety of the appliance can be guaranteed only if the protective terminal of the appliance is connected to the protective conductor of the mains.
• The manufacturer bears no responsibility for damage to persons or property as a result of missing or bad protective connection.
• The power cord must be positioned in a way it does not come into contact with hot parts of the appliance and it is not being deformed or excessively bent.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet or switch off the circuit breaker of the appliance before cleaning and maintenance.
• Dust and dirt on the appliance on the wall and on the ground should be regularly cleaned for trouble-free operation and energy savings.
  • The inside of the refrigerator should be cleaned according to the frequency of use to avoid unpleasant odours.
• For cleaning, we recommend using non-aggressive products; preferably clear lukewarm water along with a soft sponge or paper towel.
• When the cleaning is done, let the appliance open to dry out naturally.
• For cleaning, we do not recommend cleaning agents such as alcohol, acetone, oil, toothpaste or any other abrasive products.
  • We do not recommend rough brushes, hard wipes or steel brushes.
  • We do not recommend using boiling water as it may cause damage to the appliance.
