BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR
WAYS TO SAVE ENERGY
WARNING
Connecting your refrigerator to an energy
saving system is dangerous, as this may
damage your appliance.
•Do not leave the doors of your refrigerator open for a
long time.
•Do not put hot food or drinks into your refrigerator.
•Do not overload the refrigerator. Cooling capacity will fall
when air circulation in the refrigerator is obstructed.
•Do not place the refrigerator in direct sunlight. Install the
product at least 30 cm (12″) away from heat sources
such as hobs, ovens, heater units and stoves and at
least 5 cm (2″) away from electric ovens.
•Be sure to store your food in closed containers inside the
refrigerator.
•You can remove the drawer shelf in the freezer
compartment in order to fill the freezer compartment with
the maximum amount of food. The appliance's provided
energy consumption value has been determined with the
freezer compartment shelf or drawer removed and with
the refrigerator filled with the maximum amount of food.
There is no harm in choosing to use a shelf or drawer
based on the shapes and sizes of the food to be frozen.
•Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment both
saves energy and preserves the quality of the foods.
NOTE
The temperature in the room where your
refrigerator is located should at least be
10℃(50℉). Operating your refrigerator in
cooler conditions is not recommended, in
terms of its efficiency.
NOTE
The inside of your refrigerator must be kept
perfectly clean.
NOTE
If two refrigerators are to be installed side
by side, there should be at least 4 cm
(1 1/2 ″) distance between them.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE FRESH FOOD
COMPARTMENT
•Make sure that the food does not touch the temperature
sensor in the fresh food compartment. To allow the fresh
food compartment to maintain its ideal storage
temperature, the sensor must not be obstructed by food
items.
•Do not place hot foods or beverages inside the
appliance.
INITIAL USE
Before using the appliance, make sure that all preparations
have been made according to the instructions provided in
the section "Important Information Regarding Safety and
the Environment" and in the Installation Manual.
•Clean the interior of the refrigerator as recommended in
the "Maintenance and Cleaning" section. Before you turn
on the refrigerator, make sure that the interior is dry.
•Plug the refrigerator into a grounded socket. The interior
lighting comes on when the refrigerator door is opened.
•Run the refrigerator for 6 hours before placing any food
in it and do not open its door unless it is necessary.
NOTE
You will hear a noise when the compressor
starts up. The liquids and gases sealed
within the refrigeration system may also
cause noise, even if the compressor is not
running. This is quite normal.
NOTE
The front edges of the refrigerator may feel
warm. This is normal. These areas are
designed to be warm in order to prevent
condensation.
11

OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
DUAL COOLING SYSTEM
Your refrigerator is equipped with two separate cooling
systems, one for the fresh food compartment and one for
the freezer compartment.
This way the air and odour in the fresh food compartment
and the frozen food compartment do not mix.
Thanks to these two separate cooling systems, the cooling
speed is much higher than that of other refrigerators. Also,
it allows for additional power savings, since defrosting is
performed separately.
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
•Wrap foods or place them in a covered container before
putting them in the refrigerator.
•Hot foods and beverages must have cooled down to
room temperature before you put them in the
refrigerator.
•The food that you want to freeze must be fresh and in
good condition.
•Divide the food into portions according to your family's
daily or meal-based consumption needs.
•Pack the foods in an airtight manner to prevent them
from drying out, even if they are only going to be stored
for a short time.
•Materials to be used for packaging must be tear-proof
and resistant to cold, humidity, odour, oils and acids;
they must also be airtight. Moreover, they must be well
sealed and made from easy-to-use materials that are
suitable for deep freezers.
•Frozen food must be used immediately after thawing; it
must never be refrozen.
•Do not freeze very large amounts of food at one time.
The quality of the food is best preserved when it is
frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.
•Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes
the cooling system to run continuously until the food is
frozen solid.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STORING
FROZEN FOOD
•Frozen foods you purchase must be stored in the
conditions and at the temperature determined by the
food manufacturer.
•To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen
food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained,
heed the following recommendations:
1) Put packages in the freezer as quickly as possible
after purchase.
2) Make sure that packages are labelled and dated.
3) Check whether or not the "Use By" or "Best Before"
date on the packaging has passed.

REFRIGERATOR DRAWERS
To remove a drawer
•Pull out the drawer until it stops.
•Gently unclip the front section of the drawer, then pull it
out completely.
To install a drawer
•Pull the rails as far forward as they will go.
•Align the gaps at the rear corners of the drawer with the
components located at the rear ends of the rails.
•Push the drawer slowly down until you feel it clip onto
the rails at the front.
Fig. 7
NOTE
Make sure that the components on the
right- and left-hand sides of the rails are
firmly secured when installing the drawer.
NOTE
Never leave vegetables in their plastic bags
in the drawer. If they are left in their plastic
bags, they will spoil in a short period of
time.
The drawers preserve the humidity of your vegetables,
allowing you to store them for a longer time without having
to keep them in their bags.
If you prefer that the vegetables not come into contact with
each other for hygienic reasons, you can use perforated
paper, foam or other similar materials instead of plastic
bags.
When positioning the vegetables in the drawers, their
specific weights should be taken into consideration. Heavy
and hard vegetables must be placed at the bottom of the
drawer and light and soft vegetables must be kept on top.
Pears, kiwis, tomatoes, cucumbers, apricots, peaches,
broccoli, lettuce, cabbage, parsley and spinach are fruits
and vegetables that emit ethylene gas. Do not place them
in the same crisper with other fruits and vegetables. The
ethylene gas emitted by these foods causes other fruits and
vegetables to ripen sooner and to spoil in a shorter span of
time.
Do not remove the drawer from the refrigerator unless you
must do so.
FRESCO COMPARTMENT
This section is designed for storing foods such as fish,
meat and vegetables, as well as deli products such as

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
The service life of the product will be extended and
frequently encountered problems will occur less often if the
product is cleaned periodically.
WARNING
Switch off the product before cleaning.
WARNING
It is recommended that you clean the
condenser every six months, using gloves. Do
not use a Hoover.
Never use gasoline, benzene or any similar substance for
cleaning purposes.
Never use any sharp or abrasive instrument, soap,
household cleaner, detergent or wax polish for cleaning.
Dissolve one teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate in half a litre
of water. Soak a cloth in the solution and wring it out
thoroughly. Wipe the interior of the refrigerator with this
cloth and dry thoroughly.
Make sure that no water penetrates the lamp housing or
other electrical parts.
If you will not be using the refrigerator for a long time,
unplug it, remove all of the food from inside, clean it out and
leave the door ajar.
Check regularly that the door seals are clean. If not, clean
them.
Take everything out of the appliance before removing the
door and the upper fridge shelves.
Remove the door bins by pulling them up. Slide the shelves
downwards to reinstall them after cleaning.
Never use water or cleaning agents that contain chlorine to
clean the exterior surfaces or the chrome parts of the
product. Chlorine causes abrasion on metal surfaces of this
type.
PREVENTING UNPLEASANT ODOURS
Materials that can cause odours are not used in the
manufacturing of our refrigerators. However, odours may
be emitted by foods that are stored improperly or if the
interior surfaces of the product are not cleaned as required.
Please heed the following tips in order to prevent this
problem.
It is important that the refrigerator be kept clean. Food
residues, spills, etc. can cause odours. For this reason,
clean your refrigerator with a solution of sodium
bicarbonate dissolved in water every 15 days. Never use
detergents or soaps.
Keep your food in closed containers. Microorganisms
escaping from uncovered containers can cause unpleasant
odours.
Never keep expired or spoiled foods in your refrigerator.
PROTECTING PLASTIC SURFACES
Do not put unsealed containers containing oils in liquid form
or meals cooked in oil into your refrigerator, as these may
damage the plastic surfaces of your refrigerator.
If oil is spilled or smeared onto the plastic surfaces, clean
and rinse the affected areas immediately using warm water.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR SURFACES
To clean the interior surfaces and all removable parts, wash
them with a mild solution of soap, water, and sodium
bicarbonate. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not allow the water to come into contact with the lighting
equipment or control panel.
WARNING
Do not use vinegar, rubbing alcohol or any
alcohol-based cleaning agent on any of the
interior surfaces.
STAINLESS STEEL EXTERIOR SURFACES
Use a non-abrasive stainless-steel cleaning agent; apply it
with a soft, lint-free cloth.
For polishing, wipe the surface gently with a damp
microfibre cloth and follow with dry washleather.
Always rub in the direction of the grain of the stainless
steel.
