away from packaging and its parts.
Danger of suffocation from folding cartons and plastic film!
Leave to stand for at least 4 hours before switching on the product,
to allow compressor oil to settle if transported horizontally.
Make sure there is no transport damage.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Maintain the ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure or in
the built-in structure, free of obstruction.
Never use water to wash the compressor position, wipe it with a dry
cloth thoroughly after cleaning to prevent rust.
Handle the appliance always with at least two persons because it is
heavy.
Install and level the appliance in an area suitable for its size and
use.
Make sure that the electrical information on the rating plate agrees
with the power supply. If it does not, contact an electrician.
The appliance is operated by a 220-240 VAC/50 Hz power supply.
Abnormal voltage fluctuation may cause the appliance to fail to
start, or damage to the temperature control or compressor, or there
may be an abnormal noise when operating. In such case, an
automatic regulator shall be mounted.
Only for UK: The appliance’s power cable is fitted with 3-cord
(grounding) plug that fits a standard 3-cord (grounded) socket.
Never cut off or dismount the third pin (grounding). After the

PREPARATION BEFORE USE
Installation
1. Remove all packing materials, including the transparent protective film
2. Clean the refrigerator before use
3. Let the refrigerator stand still for at least 2 hours before connecting it to the
power supply
4. Before each connection check if:
Power supply, socket and fusing are appropriate (see Rating plate)
The power socket is earthed and there is no multi-plug or extension
The power plug and socket are strictly according.
Notice: Please take off the protector on the pins of the plug. It takes 2 -3 hours before
the refrigerator can be normally used. Don’t put foods into the refrigerator right
after the refrigerator is energized.
Moving the appliance
1. Remove all food and unplug the appliance
2. Secure shelves and other moveable parts in the fridge and freezer with
adhesive tape
3. Do not tilt the appliance more than 45° to avoid damaging the refrigerating
system
4. Do not lift the appliance by its handles
5. Never place the appliance horizontally on the ground
Placement
The refrigerator should be placed on solid ground.
To avoid leaning forward, the adjustable black foot in the front of the
refrigerator can be adjusted. Turn clockwise to raise up the Refrigerator.
Never use foamed plastic as space or pad to lift up the refrigerator
To keep the refrigerator ventilated, there should be at least 10 cm against
the wall for each side.
Never place the Refrigerator in a damp place or with water splashes. Any
water drops or other contaminations shall be wiped out by a soft cloth to
prevent rusting or any impairment to the electrical insulation.
Do not use the appliance under 5 degrees, do not use it outside or in the
rain.
This appliance is intended to be use in a room with an ambient temperature
between 16°C and 43°C, since it can influence the temperature inside the appliance
and its energy consumption.
Install the appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to
the climate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance:
-Extended temperate (SN): ‘this refrigerating appliance is intended to be
used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C’
- Temperate (N): ‘this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at
ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C’
- Subtropical (ST): ‘this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at
ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 38 °C’
- Tropical (T): ‘this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at
ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 43 °C’

7
Fine tuning of the doors
If the doors are still not at level after leveling the doors
by the feet, this mismatch can be remedied by turning
the hinge lifting shaft at the right bottom, corner of the
refrigerator door with a spanner
Turn the lifting shaft clockwise with a spanner
to lower the door height
Turn the lifting shaft anti clock with a spanner
to lift the door height
Space requirements
Energy saving tips
–The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from
heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
–Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing it in the appliance.
–Avoid unnecessary low temperature in the appliance, as the energy
consumption would increase
–Functions like Super Cool or Fast Freeze consume more energy
–Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in
the appliance. This cuts down on frost build -up inside the appliance. Appliance
storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or pap er
toweling. Do not overfill the appliance
–Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
–Open the appliance’s door as little and as briefly as possible, while keeping door
seals clean so that the door always closes correctly
–The most energy-saving configuration requires drawer, food box and shelves to
be positioned in the appliance on factory-fresh condition, and food to be
placed without blocking the air outlet of the duct

Tips on storing fresh food
Position different food in different compartments according to be below table
Refrigerator compartment
Type of food
Door or balconies of fridge
compartment
Foods with natural preservatives, such as jams,
juices, drinks, condiments.
Do not store perishable foods
Crisper drawers (salad drawer)
Fruits, herbs and vegetables should be placed
separately in the crisper bin
Do not store bananas, onions, potatoes,
garlic in the refrigerator
Fridge shelf –middle
Dairy products, eggs

13
Fridge shelf –top
Foods that do not need cocking, such as
ready-to-eat foods, deli meats, leftovers.
Freezer drawer(s)/tray
Foods for long-term storage
Bottom for raw meat, poultry, fish
Middle for frozen vegetables, chips.
Top for ice cream, frozen fruit, frozen baked
goods.
It’s suggested to set the temperature at 4°C in the fridge compartment, and,
whether possible, at -18°C in the freezer compartment.
For most food categories, the longest storage time in the fridge compartment is
achieved with colder temperatures. Since some particular products (as fresh
fruits and vegetables) may be damaged with colder temperatures, it is
suggested to keep them in the crisper drawers, whenever present. If not present,
maintain an average setting of the thermostat.
For frozen food, refer to the storage time written on the food packaging. This
storage time is achieved whenever the setting respects the reference
temperatures of the compartment (one-star -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars -18°
Notice: Acid, alkali and salt etc. could erode the internal surface of the freezer. Do
not place the food having these substances (e.g. sea fish) directly on the internal
surface. Salt water in the freezer should be cleaned up immediately.
Notice: Keep a distance of more than 10 mm between food and sensor as to ensure
the cooling effect.
Water dispenser (only for HHSWD918F1XK)
With the water dispenser, cool drinking water can be taped. The water tank should
be cleaned before first use (see CARE AND CLEANING section)
Filling the water tank
1. Ensure that the water tank is properly inserted
(see CARE AND CLEANING section)

into the water tank
3. Fill water only up to the mark (2.5L), as otherwise
it could overflow when the door opens and closes
4. Close the cap (A) completely
Notice: Before refilling, dispose residual water and clean the water tank.
When you don’t need water for a long time, empty the water tank and insert the
cleaned tank
The cover (C) on the water tank is additionally used to save energy. If you don’t use
the water dispenser for a long period, install the cover for better insulation and
energy saving

14
Getting water from the dispenser
1. Ensure the lock (A) is moved to “Unlock”
2. Place a glass underneath the water outlet

illuminated.
Power failure
In case of power failure, the food will remain cold for about 5 hours. Follow these tips:
Open the door/drawer as few as possible
Do not put additional food inside the appliance
Inspected the food after power interruption, as the storage period and
edible quality of the food will be reduced. Any food that defrosts should be
eaten or cocked and then frozen again, in order to prevent health risks.
When the power is connected again, the refrigerator continues to work according to
the previous settings.
Attention: The lock function is not memorized.
Non- use for long periods
