Installing And Operating Your Fridge; Before Using Your Fridge - Nordmende RETNF366C Instruction Booklet

Installing and Operating your Fridge

• Before making the connection to the power supply, ensure that the voltage on the
nameplate corresponds to the voltage of the electrical system at your home.
• Operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• Before starting to use your fridge, please contact the nearest authorized servicer if
help is needed with the installation, operation and usage of your fridge.
• The main power cord of your fridge has a grounded plug. This
plug should be used with a grounded receptacle that has a 16
amper fuse minimum. If you don't have a receptacle conforming
with this, please have one installed by a qualified electrician.
• We do not take responsibility for any damages that occur due to
ungrounded usage.
• Place your fridge in a place where it is not exposed to direct
sunlight.
• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves,
ovens and heater cores, and should be at least 5 cm away from
electrical ovens.
• This appliance should never be used outdoors or left under the
rain.
• Fit the plastic wall spacers to the condenser on the back of the refrigerator in order to
prevent it from touching the wall and affecting performance.
• When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be at least 2 cm
between the appliances to prevent humidity on the outer surface. Do not place anything
on your fridge, and install your fridge in a suitable place where there is at least 15 cm
of clearance space available on the upper side.
• If you place your fridge next to your kitchen cabinets, leave a
space of 2 cm between the appliance and the cabinets.
• Install the distance adjustment plastic (the part with black vanes
at the rear) by turning it 90° to prevent the condenser from
touching the wall.
• The adjustable front legs should be set at an appropriate height to allow your fridge
to operate in a stable and proper way. You can adjust the legs by turning them
clockwise or counter-clockwise. This should be done before placing food in the fridge.
• Before using your fridge, wipe all parts with warm water mixed with a teaspoonful of
sodium bicarbonate and then rinse with clean water and dry. After cleaning, replace
all parts in their proper locations in the fridge.

Before Using your Fridge

• When operated for the first time or after transportation, keep your
fridge in the upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging it
in to allow efficient operation. Otherwise, you may damage the
compressor.
• Your fridge may have a slight odour when it is operated for the first time. The odour
will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.
