4Preparation
CYour refrigerator should be installed
at least 30 cm away from heat
sources such as hobs, ovens, central
heater and stoves and at least 5
cm away from electrical ovens and
should not be located under direct
sunlight.
CThe ambient temperature of
the room where you install your
refrigerator should at least be 10°C.
Operating your refrigerator under
cooler conditions than this is not
recommended with regard to its
efficiency.
CPlease make sure that the interior
of your refrigerator is cleaned
thoroughly.
CIf two refrigerators are to be
installed side by side, there should
be at least 2 cm distance between
them.
CWhen you operate your refrigerator
for the first time, please observe the
following instructions during the
initial six hours.
- The door should not be opened
frequently.
- It must be operated empty without
any food in it.
- Do not unplug your refrigerator. If
a power failure occurs out of your
control, please see the warnings in

Please choose the setting according
to the desired temperature.
The interior temperature also
depends on ambient temperature,
the frequency with which the door is
opened and the amount of foods kept
inside.
Frequently opening the door causes
the interior temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended
to close the door again as soon as
possible after use.
The normal storage temperature of
your appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F).
Lower temperatures can be obtained
by adjusting the thermostat knob
towards Position MAX.
We recommend checking the
temperature with a thermometer
to ensure that the storage
compartments are kept to the desired

LED indicators and control
panel
There are three coloured indicator
lights located on the front of the
appliance which shows the operating
mode of the freezer.
Green Indicator (1): Illuminates
when the appliance is connected to
the mains and will glow as long as
electricity is available. The green light
will not glow if the thermostat is set
to ‘0’ position. The green indicator
does not give any indication of the
temperature inside the freezer.
Amber Indicator (2):This indicator
will glow when the fast freeze switch
is on and will continue to glow until
the fast freeze switch is turned off.
The compressor will run continuously
while fast freeze switch is on. Fast
freeze operation is for freezing fresh
food.
Red Indicator (3) Illuminates:
a) If the pre-set temperature can not
be maintained.
b) If excessive amounts of fresh food
are placed inside.
c) If the appliance door is left open
accidentally.
Thermostat knob (5) Thermostat
knob is located on the indicator light
set.
IMPORTANT: When you press the
fast freeze switch, there may be a
short delay before the compressor
starts to operate. This is normal and
does not indicate a compressor fault.

off and “click” sound will be heard.
Lower temperatures can be obtained
by adjusting the thermostat knob
towards Position 4.
We recommend checking the
temperature with a thermometer to

Freezing food
The freezing area is marked with

You can use the appliance for
freezing fresh food as well as for
storing pre-frozen food.
Please refer to the recommendations
given on the packaging of your food.
AAttention
Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the
bottle may burst when the liquid in it
is frozen.

Do not exceed the freezing capacity
of your appliance in 24 hours. See the
rating label.
In order to maintain the quality of the
food, the freezing must be effected as
rapidly as possible.
Thus, the freezing capacity will not
be exceeded, and the temperature
inside the freezer will not rise.

When deep-freezing hot food, the
cooling compressor will work until the
food is completely frozen. This can
temporarily cause excessive cooling
of the refrigeration compartment.
If you find the freezer door difficult
to open just after you have closed it,
don’t worry. This is due to the pressure
difference which will equalize and
allow the door to open normally after
a few minutes.
You will hear a vacuum sound just
after closing the door. This is quite
normal.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice-cube tray 3/4 full with
water and place it in the freezer.
As soon as the water has turned into
ice, you can take out the ice cubes.
Never use sharp objects such as
knives or forks to remove the ice
cubes. There is a risk of injury!
Let the ice cubes slightly thaw
instead, or put the bottom of the tray
in hot water for a short moment.
Fast freeze
If large amounts of fresh food are
going to be frozen, push the fast
freeze switch 24 hours before putting
the fresh food in the fast freeze
compartment.
It is strongly recommended to keep
fast freeze switch on 24 hours to
freeze maximum amount of fresh food
declared as freezing capacity. Take
special care not to mix frozen food and
fresh food.
Defrosting of the appliance
Excessive build-up of ice will affect
the freezing performance of your
appliance.
It is therefore recommended that you
defrost your appliance at least twice
a year, or whenever the ice build-up
exceeds 7 mm.
Defrost your appliance when there is

6Maintenance and cleaning
A Never use gasoline, benzene or
similar substances for cleaning
purposes.
B We recommend that you unplug the
appliance before cleaning.
B Never use any sharp abrasive
instrument, soap, household
cleaner, detergent and wax polish
for cleaning.
B For non-No Frost products,
water drops and frosting up to a
fingerbreadth occur on the rear wall
of the Fridge compartment. Do not
clean it; never apply oil or similar
agents on it.
B Only use slightly damp microfiber
cloths to clean the outer surface
of the product. Sponges and other
types of cleaning cloths may scratch
the surface.
C Use lukewarm water to clean the
cabinet of your refrigerator and wipe
it dry.
C Use a damp cloth wrung out in
a solution of one teaspoon of
bicarbonate of soda to one pint of
water to clean the interior and wipe
it dry.
B Make sure that no water enters the
lamp housing and other electrical
items.
B If your refrigerator is not going to
be used for a long period of time,
unplug the power cable, remove all
food, clean it and leave the door ajar.
C Check door seals regularly to ensure
they are clean and free from food
particles.
A To remove door racks, remove all the
contents and then simply push the
door rack upwards from the base.
A Never use cleaning agents or water
that contain chlorine to clean the
outer surfaces and chromium coated
parts of the product. Chlorine causes
corrosion on such metal surfaces.
A Do not use sharp, abrasive tools,
soap, household cleaning agents,
detergents, kerosene, fuel oil,
varnish etc. to prevent removal and
deformation of the prints on the
plastic part. Use lukewarm water
and a soft cloth for cleaning and
then wipe it dry.
Protection of plastic
surfaces
CDo not put the liquid oils or oil-
cooked meals in your refrigerator
in unsealed containers as they
damage the plastic surfaces of your
refrigerator. In case of spilling or
smearing oil on the plastic surfaces,
clean and rinse the relevant part
of the surface at once with warm
water.
