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.

• We 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 d ry.

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 con-

denser 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 using your fridge for the first time, or after transportation,

keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging

into the mains. This allows efficient operation and prevents dam-

age to the compressor.

• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time. This is normal and

the smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.

• Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Do not eat ice-cream or ice cubes

immediately after you have taken them out of the ice-making compartment.

• Do not re-freeze frozen goods after they have melted. This may cause health

issues such as food poisoning.

• Do not cover the body or top of fridge with lace. This affects the

performance of your fridge.

• Secure any accessories in the fridge during transportation to prevent

damage to the accessories.
