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

Warning; Risk of fire / flammable materials
- The appliance is heavy and could cause injury, it must
be transported by two people.
DISPOSAL OF OLD APPLIANCE:
- Old fridges and freezers contain isolation material and
refrigerant with CFC. Therefore, take care not to harm
environment when you are discarding your old fridges.
- If your old fridge or freezer has a lock, break or remove
the lock before discarding it, because children may get
trapped inside it and may cause an accident.
- Be careful to avoid damaging the pipework before
disposal, e.g. by puncturing coolant channels, bending
pipework, scratching the surface coating.
WARNING Serious injury or death risk
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK Dangerous voltage risk
FIRE Warning; Risk of re / ammable materials
CAUTION Injury or property damage risk
IMPORTANT Operating the system correctly
Observe that the freezer’s door should always be kept closed. This will prevent food
products from defrosting; it will avoid heavy ice and frost build-up inside the freezer
and an unnecessary increase in energy consumption.

- When making ice cubes, fill the ice tray with water and place in freezer
compartment. After the water has completely turned into ice, you can twist the
tray as shown below to release the ice cubes.
Storage: If you want to use the maximum net capacity, you can remove the
drawers and store the items directly on the cooling tubes. This will enable you to
make use of the entire volume of the compartment.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
-Disconnect unit from the power supply before cleaning.
- Do not clean the appliance by pouring water on it.
- The freezer compartment should be cleaned periodically using a solution of
bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
- Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not
clean them in the washing machine.
- Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After
washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When the
cleaning operations have been completed reconnect the plug of
the unit with dry hands.

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.
› Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables (green
leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylene-releaser fruits (banana, peach,
apricot, 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.

IMPORTANT Operating the system correctly
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.
› If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry and
leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
