  • Page 14: Installation Warnings

    1.2 Installation warnings Before using your fridge freezer for the first time, please pay attention to the following points: • The operating voltage for your fridge freezer is 220-240 V at 50Hz. • The plug must be accessible after installation. • Your fridge freezer may have an odour when it is operated for the first time. This is normal and the odour will fade when your fridge freezer starts to cool. • Before connecting your fridge freezer, ensure that the information on the data plate (voltage and connected load) matches that of the mains electricity supply. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. • Insert the plug into a socket with an efficient ground connection. If the socket has no ground contact or the plug does not match, we recommend you consult a qualified electrician for assistance.
  • Page 15 • Do not place explosive or flammable material in your fridge. Place drinks with high alcohol content vertically in the fridge compartment and make sure their tops are tightly closed. • When removing ice from the ice-making compartment, do not touch it. Ice may cause frost burns and/or cuts. • Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Do not eat ice-cream or ice cubes immediately after they are removed from the ice-making compartment. • Do not re-freeze thawed frozen food. This may cause health issues such as food poisoning. Old and Out-of-order Fridges • If your old fridge or freezer has a lock, break or remove the lock before discarding it, because children may get trapped inside it and may cause an accident. • Old fridges and freezers contain isolation material and refrigerant with CFC. Therefore, take care not to harm environment when you are discarding your old fridges.

  • Page 19: Temperature Settings Warnings

    Winter Switch: If ambient temperature is below 16 °C, this switch shall be used as winter switch and it keeps your fridge above 0 °C while freezer is below -18 °C in low ambients. 3.3 Temperature Settings Warnings • Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient temperature ranges stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. It is not recommended that your fridge is operated in the environments which are outside of the stated temperature ranges. This will reduce the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
  • Page 20 3.4.2 The Plastic Scraper (In some models) After some time, frost will build up in certain areas of the freezer. The frost accumulated in the freezer should be removed regularly. Use the plastic scraper provided, if necessary. Do not use sharp metal objects for this operation. They could puncture the refrigerator circuit and cause irreparable damage to the unit.
  • Page 21: Part 4: Food Storage

    PART 4: FOOD STORAGE 4.1 Refrigerator Compartment • To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store liquids in sealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting. • Cooked dishes must remain covered when they are kept in the fridge. Do not place warm foods in fridge. Place them when they are cool, otherwise the temperature/humidity inside the fridge will increases, reducing the fridge’s efficiency.

  • Page 26: Part 5: Cleaning And Maintenance

    PART 5: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning. Do not wash your appliance by pouring water on it. Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps for cleaning the appliance. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When you have finished cleaning, reconnect the plug to the mains supply with dry hands.
  • Page 27 • Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation. The water is collected by the evaporation tray and evaporates automatically. • The evaporation tray and the water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting at the bottom of the refrigerator instead of flowing out. • You can also clean the drain hole by pouring half a glass of water down it. Freezer defrosting process • Small amounts of frost will accumulate inside the freezer, depending on the length of time the door may be left open or the amount of moisture introduced. It is essential to ensure that no frost or ice is allowed to form in places where it will affect the close fitting of the door seal. This might allow air to penetrate the cabinet, encouraging continuous running of the compressor.
