Installing Your New Appliance
WARNING
Before using the appliance for the first time,
you should be informed of the following tips.
For proper installation, this refrigerator
must be placed on a level surface of
hard material that is the same height
as the rest of the flooring. This surface
should be strong enough to support a
fully loaded refrigerator.
The rollers, which are not casters, should
be only used for forward or backward
movement. Moving the refrigerator
sideways may damage your floor and
the rollers.
Suggestion:
In order to improve efficiency of the
cooling system and save energy, it is
necessary to maintain good ventilation
around the appliance for the dissipation
of heat. For this reason, sufficient clear
space should be available around the
refrigerator.
Ventilation of appliance
This appliance performs well within the
climate class from N to T shown in the table
below. It may not work properly if left at a
temperature above or below the
indicated range for a long period.
Stand your appliance in a dry place to
avoid high moisture.
Keep the appliance out of direct sunlight,
rain or frost. Stand the appliance away
from heat sources such as stoves, fires or
heaters.

An automatic ice maker is a very useful
feature in your new refrigerator. Please
follow the below instructions carefully
for correct installation.
In order for the ice maker to operate
properly, a water line is required.
-the maximum inlet water pressure is 700kPa;
-the minimum inlet water pressure is 207kPa.
Installing the water lines
1. Power drill and 1/4’’ drill bit.
2. 1/2’’ or adjustable wrench.
3. Flatblade and Philips head screwdrivers.

If the refrigerator is installed in an area
with low water pressure (below 30psi),
you can install a booster pump to
compensate for the low pressure.
The water connection must be made
by a qualified plumber. Operation
outside the water pressure range
may cause malfunction, or severe
and damaging water leaks.

Although this appliance automatically
defrosts, a layer of frost may occur on
the freezer compartment’s interior walls if
the freezer door is opened frequently or
kept open too long. If the frost is too
thick, choose a time when the freezer is
nearly empty and proceed as follows:
Remove existing food and accessory
baskets, unplug the appliance from
the main power and leave the doors
open. Ventilate the room thoroughly to
accelerate the process.
When defrosting is completed, clean
your freezer as described above.
1.
2.
For hygienic reasons the appliance
(including exterior and interior
accessories) should be cleaned at least
once every two months.
Spray water onto acleaning cloth
instead of spraying directly onto the
surface of the appliance. This helps
ensure an even distribution of moisture
to the surface.
Clean the appliance interior regularly.
It will be easier to clean when food
stocks are low. Wipe the inside of
the fridge and freezer with a weak
solution of baking soda and water, and
then rinse with warm water using a
wrung-out sponge or cloth. Wipe
completely dry before replacing the
shelves and baskets. Thoroughly dry all
surfaces and removable parts before
putting them back into place.
WARNING!
Do not use sharp objects to remove
frost from the freezer compartment.
Only after the interior is completely
dry should the appliance be
switched back on and plugged
back into the main socket.

Helpful Hints and Tips
Energy Saving Tips
We recommend that you follow the tips
below to save energy.
Don’t set the temperature colder than
necessary.
Don’t store warm food or evaporating
liquid in the appliance.
If the diagram shows the correct
combination for the drawers, crisper and
shelves, do not adjust the combination as
this is designed to be the most energy
efficient configuration.
Avoid keeping the door open for long
periods in order to conserve energy.
Ensure the appliance is away from any
sources of heat (direct sunlight, electric
oven or cooker etc.)
Place the appliance in awell
ventilated, humidity freeroom. Please
refer to the Installing your New
Appliance chapter.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
Do not place hot food directly into the
refrigerator or freezer, the internal
temperature will increase resulting in the
compressor having to work harder and
consume more energy.
Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it
has a strong flavor.
Place food properly so that air can
circulate freely around it.
15

For Meat: (all types) wrap in cling wrap
and place on the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer. Always follow food
storage times and use by dates
suggested by manufacturers.
Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.:
They should be covered and placed on
any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables:
They should be stored in the special
drawer provided.
Butter and cheese:
Should be wrapped in airtight foil or
plastic film wrap.
Milk bottles:
Should have a lid and be stored in the
door racks.
Hints for refrigeration
When first starting-up or after a period
out of use, let the appliance run at least
2 hours on the higher settings before
putting food in the compartment.
Prepare food in small portions to enable
it to be rapidly and completely frozen
and to make it possible to subsequently
thaw only the quantity required.
Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or
cling wraps which are airtight.
Do not allow unfrozen food to touch the
food which is already frozen to avoid
temperature rise of the latter.
Hints for freezing
Hints for the storage of frozen food
It is recommended to label and date
each frozen package in order to keep
track of the storage time.
Once defrosted, food will deteriorate
rapidly and should not be re-frozen. Do
not exceed the storage period indicated
by the food manufacturer.
Switching off your appliance
If the appliance needs to be switched off
for an extended period, the following
steps should be taken to prevent mold on
the appliance.
Remove all food.
Remove the power plug from the
main socket.
Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
Ensure that all the doors are wedged
open slightly to allow air to circulate.
