Before using the appliance, you should pay attention to the following points:
• The operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• The plug must be accessible after installation.
• Before connecting your fridge, ensure that the information on the data plate (voltage and
connected load) matches that of the mains electricity supply. If in doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
• Insert the plug into a socket with an efficient ground connection. If the socket has no
ground contact or the plug does not match, we recommend you consult a qualified
electrician for assistance.
• The appliance must be connected with a properly installed fused socket. The power supply
(AC) and voltage at the operating point must match with the details on the name plate of
the appliance (the name plate is located on the inside left of the appliance).
• We do not accept responsibility for any damages that occur due to ungrounded usage.
• Place your fridge where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, gas ovens and heater cores,
and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.
• Your fridge should never be used outdoors or exposed to rain.
• When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be at least 2 cm between
them to prevent humidity forming on the outer surface.
• Do not place anything on your fridge, and install your fridge in a suitable place so that at
least 15 cm of free space is available above it.
• Use the adjustable front legs to make sure your appliance is level and stable. You can adjust
the legs by turning them in either direction. This should be done before placing food in the
fridge.
• 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. Place all parts in the fridge after
cleaning.
• Install the plastic distance guide (the part with black vanes at the rear) by turning it 90°
(as shown in the figure) to prevent the condenser from touching the wall.
• The refrigerator should be placed against a wall with a free space not exceeding 75 mm.
Before using the appliance
• When using your fridge for the first time, or after transportation, keep it in an upright
position for at least 3 hours before plugging into the mains. This allows efficient operation
and prevents damage to the compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time. This is normal and the
smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.

The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the cooler and freezer
compartments. Refrigerator temperatures can be obtained by rotating the knob to higher
numbers; 1 to 3, 1 to 5 (Maximum numbers on the thermostat depends on your product).
1 – 2: For short-term storage of food
3 – 4: For long-term storage of food
5: Maximum cooling position. The appliance will work longer. If required, change the
temperature setting.
Temperature setting warnings
•
Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient temperature ranges stated in
the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. It is not
recommended that your fridge is operated in the environments which are outside
of the stated temperature ranges. This will reduce the cooling efficiency of the
appliance.
•
Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door
openings, the quantity of food kept inside the appliance and the ambient
temperature in the location of your appliance.
•
When the appliance is first switched on, allow it to run for 24 hours in order to reach
operating temperature. During this time, do not open the door and do not keep a
large quantity of food inside.
•
A 5 minute delay function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your
appliance when connecting or disconnecting to mains, or when an energy
breakdown occurs. Yourappliance will begin to operate normally after 5 minutes.

VII. STORING THE FOOD
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.
•Cooked dishes must remain covered when they are kept in the fridge. Do not place
warm foods in fridge. Place them when they are cool, otherwise the
temperature/humidity inside the fridge will increases, reducing the fridge’s
efficiency.
•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, 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.
•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.
•Do not allow food to come into contact with the temperature sensor, which is located
•in the refrigerator compartment, in order to keep the refrigerator compartment at
optimum temperature.
•For normal working conditions, it will be sufficient to adjust the temperature setting of
your refrigerator to +4°C.
•The temperature of the fridge compartment should be in the range of 0-8°C, fresh foods
below 0°C are iced and rotted, bacterial load increases above 8 °C, and spoils.
•The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major
food groups in your refrigerator compartment.
•Do not put hot food in the refrigerator immediately, wait for the temperature to pass
outside. Hot foods increase the degree of your refrigerator and cause food poisoning
and unnecessary spoiling of the food.

•
Meat, fish, etc. should be store in the chiller compartment of the food, and the vegetable
compartment is preferred for vegetables. (if available)
•To prevent cross contamination, meat products and fruit vegetables are not stored together.
•Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in closed containers or covered to prevent
moisture and odors.

DEFROSTING
Defrosting the fridge compartment
• Defrosting occurs fully automatically in fridge compartment during operation; the defrosted
water collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporating tray and water drain hole (back of the refrigerator crisper shelf) should be
cleaned periodically to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the fridge instead
of flowing out.
• You can also clean the drain hole by pouring 1/2 glass of water down it.

IX. TROUBLESHOOTING
If the fridge freezer is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore to save
time and money, check the following, before calling an electrician.
What to do if your appliance does not operate
Check that:
• There is no power
• The general switch in your home is disconnected
• The thermostat setting is on the «•» position
• The socket is not faulty. To check this, plug the appliance in to another socket which you
know is working.
What to do if your appliance performs poorly
Check that:
• You have overloaded the appliance.
• The thermostat setting is on position “1” (if so set the thermostat dial to a suitable value).
• The doors are closed properly,
• There is no dust on the condenser,
• There is enough space at the rear and side walls.
If your fridge is operating too loudly
Normal Noises
Compressor noise
• Normal motor noise: This noise means that the compressor operates normally
• The compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is first activated.
Bubbling noise and splash:
• This noise is caused by the flow of the fridge freezer in the tubes of the system.
If you hear any other noises check that:
--The appliance is level
--Nothing is touching the rear of the appliance
--The objects on the appliance are vibrating.
If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator
Check that:
• The drain hole for the water is not clogged (use the defrost drain plug to clean the
drain hole).

Recommendations
• If you do not intend to use the appliance for long time (for example during the summer
holidays) unplug and clean the appliance and leave the door open to prevent the formation
of mildew and smells.
• To stop the appliance completely, unplug it from the main socket (for cleaning and when
the doors are left open).
• If a problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult
the nearest Authorised Service Centre.
• The lifetime of your appliance is stated and declared by the Department of Industry. The
length of time for retaining parts required for the proper operation of the appliance is 10
years.
Tips for saving energy
1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room , but not in direct sunlight and not
near a heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3. When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment. The low
temperature of the frozen food will help to cool the refrigerator compartment when it is
thawing. This will help to save energy. If the frozen food is put out, it results in a waste of
energy.
4. Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise humidity
increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks
and other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.
5. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently
as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily
often.
6. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc )
closed
7. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
8. It is possible to store more food by removing freezer shelf. Energy consumption is
declared with maximum load and without freezer shelf.
