USING THE APPLIANCE
› 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 dry. Return all parts to the fridge
after cleaning.
› Remove all transport tapes and foam protection pieces. Clean the interior with a cloth
dampened in lukewarm soap and water. Rinse with clean water and dry.
› The adjustable front legs should be stabilised at an appropriate height to allow your fridge
to operate in a stable and proper way. You can adjust the legs by turning them clockwise (or
in the opposite direction). This should be done before placing food in the fridge.
› Your fridge may have an odour when it is operated for the first time. This is normal and the
odour will fade when your fridge starts to cool.
WARNING
Connect to the electrical socket but do not switch the power to the fridge on for at least 12
hours. The coolant within the product needs time to settle after it has been transported and put
into position, failure to do this will affect the cooling performance of your appliance.

16 Instruction manual RBL5 Please keep this instruction manual for future reference
Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the standards,
according to the climate class stated in the information label. We do not recommend operating
your fridge out of stated temperatures value limits in terms of cooling effectiveness.
This appliance is designed for
use at an ambient temperature
within the 10°C - 32°C range.
OPERATING YOUR FRIDGE
THERMOSTAT SETTING
The thermostat automatically regulates
the inside temperature of the
refrigerator. By rotating the knob from
position 1 to 5, colder temperatures
can be obtained.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Do not try to rotate knob beyond 1 position it will stop your appliance.
› For short-term storage of food in the fridge, you can set the knob between minimum and
medium position (1-3).
› For long-term storage of food in the fridge, you can set knob medium position (3-4).
› Note that; the ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often
the door is opened, affects the temperature in the fridge. If required, change the temperature
setting.
› When you first switch on the appliance, you should ideally try to run it without any food in for
24 hours and not open the door. If you need to use it straight away, try not to put much food
inside.
› If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting in
order not to damage the compressor.

FOOD STORAGE
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
› To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store liquids in
sealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the
evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting.
› Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room
temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment.
› Make sure no items are in direct contact with the rear wall of the appliance as frost will
develop and packaging will stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator door frequently.
› We recommend that meat and clean fish are loosely wrapped and stored on the glass
shelf just above the vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides the best storage
conditions.
› Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the crisper containers.
› Store loose fruit and vegetables in the crisper.
› Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables (green
leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylene-releaser fruits (banana, peach,
apricot, fig etc.).
› Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.
› Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an
uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before refrigerator storage.
› To avoid cross-contamination do not store meat products with fruit and vegetables. Water
leaking from meat may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. You should package
meat products and clean any leakages on the shelves.
› Do not put food in front of the air flow passage.
› Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date.

NOTE:
Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator. The table below is a quick
guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your refrigerator
compartment.
To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:
› Opening the door for long periods can cause significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
› Regularly clean surfaces that can come in contact with food accessible drainage systems.
› Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact
with or drips onto other food.

DEFROSTING THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
› Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation. The water
is collected by the evaporation tray and evaporates automatically.
› The evaporation tray and the water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the
defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting at the bottom of the refrigerator
instead of flowing out.
› You can also clean the drain hole by pouring half a glass of water down it.

DEFROSTING
Refrigerator compartment;
- Defrosting occurs automatically in refrigerator during operation; the defrost water
is collected by the evaporating compartment and evaporates automatically.
- The defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the defrost
drain plug removed to prevent the water from collecting in the bottom of the
refrigerator instead of flowing out.
- You can also pour ½ glass of water into the drain hole to clean inside.
Freezer compartment;
The frost, accumulated in the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically.
(Use the plastic scraper provided) The freezer compartment should be cleaned
in the way as the refrigerator compartment, with the defrost operations of the
compartment at least twice a year.
For this;
- The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to “5” position to freeze the
foods completely.
- During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and
kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage
life. Remember to use these foods within a relatively short period of time.
- Set thermostat knob to position « . » or unplug the unit; leave the door open until
completely defrosted.
- To accelerate the defrosting process one or more basins of warm water can be
placed in the freezer compartment.
- Dry the inside of the unit carefully and set the thermostat knob to MAX position.
