How to use the accessories
Water dispenser
Water dispenser is a very useful feature to
obtain chilled water without opening the door
of your fridge. Since you do not have to open
the door of your fridge frequently, you also
save on electricitiy.
Using the water dispenser (Fig. 6)
Push in the lever of the water dispenser with
your glass. By releasing the lever, you cut off
the dispensing.
When operating the water dispenser,
maximum flow is achieved by fully depressing
the lever. Please note, the rate of water flow
from the dispenser depends on how far you
depress the lever. As the level of water in your
cup / glass rises, gently reduce the amount of
pressure on the lever to avoid overflow. If you
depress the lever a small amount, then water
will trickle; this is perfectly normal and is not a
fault.
Filling the tank of the water dispenser
(Fig. 7)
Open the cap of the water tank as illustrated
in the figure. Fill with pure and clean drinking
water. Close the cap.
To avoid accidental water dispensing, we
recommend you lock the water dispenser.
Caution!
• Do not fill the water tank with liquid other than
drinking water. Beverages such as fruit juice,
carbonated fizzy soda drinks and alcoholic
drinks are not suitable for use with water
dispenser. If such liquids are used, the water
dispenser will malfunction and may be damaged
beyond repair. The guarantee does not cover
such uses. Some chemical ingredients and
additives in such drinks / beverages may also
attack and damage water tank material.
• Only use clean pure drinking water.
• Capacity of water dispenser tank is 2.2 litres
[3.8 pints], do not overfill.
• Push the water dispenser lever with a rigid
cup. If you are using a plastic disposable cup,
then push the lever with your fingers from
behind the cup.
• A Safety Lock is supplied for your convenience
and also to prevent small children tampering
with - the water dispenser.
Cleaning the water tank (Fig. 8-9)
Remove the water tank, open the latches on
both sides and detach the top cover
mechanism. Clean with warm clean water,
reinstall the top cover mechanism and fasten
the latches.
When installing the water tank, make sure that
hooks behind it fit securely into the hangers
on the door. Make sure that parts removed
during cleaning (if any) are installed correctly
into their original locations, otherwise, water
may leak.
Important:
Water tank and components of water
dispenser are not dishwasher-proof.

The average temperature inside the fridge
should be around +5°C.
Please choose the setting according to the
desired temperature.
You can stop operation of your device by
adjusting the thermostat knob to “0” position.
Please note that there will be different
temperatures in the cooling area.
The coldest region is immediately above the
vegetable compartment.
The interior temperature also depends on
ambient temperature, the frequency with which

kept inside.
Frequently opening the door causes the interior
temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended the door
is closed as soon as possible after use.
Setting the operating
temperature
(Fig. 2)
The operating temperature is regulated by the
temperature control.
Prior to startup
Before you begin operating your device, the
following points should be re-checked for

Cooling
Food storage
The fridge compartment is for the short-term
storage of fresh food and drinks.
Store milk products in the intended
compartment in the refrigerator.
Bottles can be stored in the bottle holder or
in the bottle shelf of the door.
Raw meat is best kept in a polyethylene bag
in the compartment at the very bottom of the
refrigerator.
Allow hot foods and beverages to cool to room
temperature prior to placing them in the
refrigerator.
Attention
Store alcohol by standing containers upright
and tightly closed.
Attention
Do not store explosive substances or
containers with flammable propellant gases
(canned cream, spray cans etc.) in the
appliance. There is a danger of explosion.
5
Defrosting the appliance
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically.
The thawing water flows through the drain
channel into a collection container at the rear
of the device (Fig. 5).
During defrosting, water droplets form at the
back of the fridge due to the evaporator.
If not all of the drops run down, they may
freeze again after defrosting remove them
with a cloth soaked in warm water, but never
with a hard or sharp object.
Check the flow of the thawed water from time
to time.It may become plugged occasionally.
Clean it with a q-tip or similar (see the section
"Cleaning and care").

en en
Freezing
Freezing food
The freezing compartment is marked with
this symbol.
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.
Attention
Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the bottle may
burst when the liquid in it is frozen.
Be careful with frozen products such as
coloured ice-cubes.
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.
Attention
When freezing new food always keep
it separate from food already frozen.
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.
6
Defrosting of the appliance
The freezer compartment defrosts
automatically.
Warnings!
The fan inside the freezer compartment
circulates cold air.
Never insert any object through the guard.
Do not allow children to play with the freezer
fan.
Never store products that contain
inflammable propellant gas
(e.g. dispensers, spray cans etc.) or
explosive substances.
Don’t cover the shelves with any protective
materials, which may obstruct air circulation.
Do not allow children to play with the appliance
or tamper with the controls.
To ensure that you obtain the best possible
performance from your appliance, do not
obstruct the freezer fan guard.

Normal operating noises
Various functional noises are completely
normal due to the operation of the cooling
system of your appliance;
• Gurgling, hissing, boiling or bubbling noises
are caused by the refrigerant, circulating inside
the cooling system. These noises can still be
heard for a short period of time after the
compressor shuts off.
• Sudden, sharp cracking or popping noises
are caused by the expansion and contraction
of the inside walls or some components inside
the cabinets.
• Buzzing, whirring, pulsating or high-pitched
humming noises are caused by the
compressor. These noises are slightly louder
at the start-up of the compressor and reduce
when the appliance reaches the operating
temperatures.
9
Also to avoid disturbing vibrations and
noises make sure that;
• Your refrigerator is standing level on all four
feet.
• Your refrigerator is not in contact with the
walls, surrounding objects or kitchen cabinets
and furniture.
• Cans, bottles or dishes inside the refrigerator
are not touching and rattling against each
other.
• All shelves and bins are mounted correctly

Comment utiliser les
accessoires
Distributeur d’eau
Le distributeur d’eau est une solution très
pratique pour obtenir de l’eau fraîche sans ouvrir
la porte de votre réfrigérateur. Comme vous
n’avez pas souvent à ouvrir la porte du
réfrigérateur, vous économisez aussi de
l’électricité.
Utiliser le distributeur d’eau (Fig. 6)
Poussez la manette du distributeur d’eau avec
votre verre. En relâchant la manette, la
distribution est interrompue.
Lorsque vous utilisez le distributeur d’eau, vous
obtiendrez le débit maximum en poussant la
manette entièrement. Vous noterez que le débit
d'eau distribuée est fonction de la pression
exercée sur la manette. Au fur et à mesure que
le niveau
d’eau monte dans votre tasse / verre, réduisez
doucement la pression exercée sur la manette
pour éviter tout débordement. Si vous appuyez
légèrement sur la manette, un filet d'eau
coulera ; ceci est parfaitement normal et n'est
pas un défaut.
Remplir le réservoir d'eau du distributeur
(Fig. 7)
Ouvrez le bouchon du réservoir d'eau comme
l'indique la figure. Remplissez-le d'eau potable
pure. Replacez le bouchon.
Afin d’éviter que l’eau ne coule par
inadvertance, nous vous conseillons de
verrouiller le distributeur d’eau.
Attention !
• Ne remplissez pas le réservoir d'eau avec un
liquide autre que de l’eau potable ; les boissons
telles que le jus de fruits, boissons gazeuses
et boissons alcoolisées ne sont pas adaptées
au distributeur d’eau. Si des liquides de ce type
sont utilisés, le distributeur d’eau ne fonctionnera
pas correctement et pourrait être irréparable.
De telles utilisations ne sont pas couvertes par
la garantie. Certains ingrédients et additifs
chimiques contenus dans ces boissons
pourraient également attaquer et endommager
le matériau du réservoir d'eau.
• Utilisez exclusivement de l'eau potable pure.
• Le réservoir d’eau a une contenance de 2,2
litres [3,8 pintes], ne le remplissez pas
d'avantage.
• Appuyez sur la manette du distributeur d'eau
avec une tasse rigide. Si vous utilisez un gobelet
en plastique, poussez sur la manette avec vos
doigts, placés derrière le gobelet.
• Le distributeur d’eau est équipé d’un cran de
sécurité par souci de commodité lorsque vous
remplissez le réservoir d'eau ainsi que pour
éviter que les jeunes enfants ne jouent avec le
distributeur.
Nettoyer le distributeur d’eau (Fig. 8-9)
Retirez le réservoir d'eau, ouvrez les
fermetures des deux côtés et détachez le
mécanisme du couvercle du réservoir d’eau.
Nettoyez le réservoir à l’eau chaude propre,
réinstallez le mécanisme du couvercle et
fermez correctement.
Lors de l'installation du réservoir d'eau, vérifiez
que les crochets situés à l'arrière s’insèrent
solidement dans les attaches de la porte.
Veillez à ce que les pièces enlevées pendant
le nettoyage (le cas échéant) soient bien
réinstallées à leur emplacement d’origine, Si
ce n’est pas le cas, une fuite d’eau pourrait
avoir lieu.
