Installing and operating your fridge

Before starting to use your fridge, you should pay attention to the following points:

• Operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz.

• The plug must be accessible after installation.

• There can be an odour when you rst switch on the appliance. It will disappear after the

appliance starts to cool.

• Before making the connection to the power supply, ensure that the voltage on the

nameplate corresponds to the voltage of electrical system in your home.

• Insert the plug into a socket with an efcient ground connection. If the socket has

no ground contact or the plug does not match, we suggest you to call an authorized

electrician for assistance.

• The appliance must be connected with a properly installed fused socket. Power supply

(AC) and voltage at the operating point must correspond with the details on the name

plate of the appliance (name plate is located on the inside left of the appliance).

• We do not take responsibility for damages that occur due to ungrounded usage.

• Place your fridge in a place where it won't be exposed to direct sunlight.

• Your fridge should never be used outdoors or left under the rain.

• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, Gas ovens and heaters, and

should be at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.

• When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should

be at least 2 cm between them to prevent humidity on the outer

surface.

• Do not place heavy items on the appliance.

• Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially in the interior, before

use (See Cleaning and Maintenance).

• Installation procedure into the kitchen unit is given in the installation manual. This

product is intended to be used in proper kitchen units only.

• The adjustable front legs should be adjusted to make sure your appliance is level and

stable. You can adjust the legs by turning them clockwise (or in the opposite direction).

This should be done before placing food in the fridge.

• Before using your fridge, wipe all parts back with warm water

added with a tea spoonful of sodium bicarbonate, and then rinse

with clean water and dry. Replace all parts after cleaning.

• Install the plastic distance guide (the part with black vanes at

the rear) by turning it 90° as shown in the gure to prevent the

condenser from touching the wall.

• The refrigerator should be placed against a wall with a free

distance not exceeding 75 mm.

• Do not operate any electrical appliances inside the refrigerator or freezer.

• Fix the accessories in the fridge during transportation to prevent damage to accessories.
