• Fix the accessories in the fridge during transportation to prevent damage
to accessories.
Installing and Operating your Fridge
Before starting to use your fridge, you should pay attention to the following points:
• The operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• W e do not accept responsibility for any damages that occur due to ungrounded
usage.
• Place your fridge where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, gas ovens and heater
cores, and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.
• Your fridge should never be used outdoors or exposed to rain.
• When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be at least 2 cm
between them to prevent humidity forming on the outer surface.
• Do not place anything on your fridge, and install your fridge in a
suitable place so that at least 15 cm of free space is available above
it.
• Use the adjustable front legs to make sure your appliance is level
and stable. You can adjust the legs by turning them in either direction.
This should be done before placing food in the fridge.
• Before using your fridge, wipe all parts with a solution of warm water
and a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate, then rinse with clean water and dry. Place all
parts in the fridge after cleaning.
• Install the plastic distance guide (the part with black vanes at the
rear) by turning it 90° (as shown in the figure) to prevent the
condenser from touching the wall.
• The refrigerator should be placed against a wall with a free space
not exceeding 75 mm.
Before Using your Fridge
• When it is operated for the first time or after transportation, keep your
fridge in the upright position for 3 hours and plug it on to allow
efficient operation. Otherwise, you may damage the compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time; the
smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.
