contacttheAuthorisedServiceProvider.Checkthatthefollowingitemsarecontainedwithinthepackaging:
 1adjustableshelf  
 1smallglassshelf
Beforeconnectingtheappliancetothepowersource,letitstanduprightforapproximately4hours.Thiswillreducethe
possibilityofamalfunctioninthecoolingsystemfromhandlingduringtransportation.Removeanyprotectivefilmfromthe
outersurface.
Cleantheinteriorsurfacewithlukewarmwaterusingasoftcloth.


Duringuse,moisturefromtheair&foodcancollectinsidetheapplianceformingalayerofice.Icewilllimitthe
transferofheatoutoftheappliance.Ifthisbecomesmorethan2mmthick,theapplianceshouldbedefrosted.
Turnthethermostatto0&removeanyfoodfromthefreezercompartmentandrefrigerator.Opentheouterdoor
&propopenthefreezercompartmentdoor.Allowtheicetomeltandletwatercollectinthetrayunderthe
freezercompartment.Discardanywaterandiceandreplacetray.Tospeeduptheprocess,abowlofwarmwater
(~50°C)canbeplacedinsidethecompartment.Donotscrapeicefromthecompartmentwalls&donotuseany

CAREANDMAINTENANCE

CLEANINGTHEAPPLIANCE

Uponinstallationofyournewappliance,itisrecommendedthatitbecleanedthoroughly,andcleanedonceamonthafter
that.
Tocleantheappliance,firstturnthethermostatto0,turnoffthepower,unplugfromthepowersocketandremoveall
foodandshelving.
Washtheinsidewithadampwarmclothcontainingawaterandbakingsodasolution.Thesolutionshouldbeabout2
tablespoonsofbakingsodatoaquartofwater.
Washtheshelvingwithamilddetergentsolution.
Besuretokeepthedoorgasket(seal)cleantokeeptheunitrunningefficiently.
Theoutsideoftheapplianceshouldbecleanedwithmilddetergentandwarmwater.
Drytheinteriorandexteriorwithasoftcloth.
Itisrecommendedthattheunitbecleanedeachtimeitisdefrostedtohelpkeeptheunitodourfreeandrunning
efficiently.
Donotuseoils,abrasivecleaners,petroleumproducts,acidsoralkalinedetergents,astheycandamagetheappliance.

MOVINGTHEAPPLIANCE

Removeallthefood.
Securelytapedownalllooseitemsinsidetheappliance.
Tapethedoorsshut.
Besuretheappliancestaysintheuprightpositionduringtransportation.

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intheappliance.Overloadingtheapplianceforcesthecompressor
torunlonger.Foodsthatcooorfreezetooslowlymaylosequality,orspoil.
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freezerandbadodours.
Thefreezercompartmentshouldnotbelinedwithaluminiumfoil,waxpaper,orpapertowels.Linersinterferewithcold
aircirculation,makingthefreezerlessefficient.
Organizeandlabelfoodtoreducedooropeningsandextendedsearches.Removeasmanyitemsasneededatonetime,
andclosethedoorassoonaspossible.
Whenaddingfreshfood,trytoaddittothebottomofthefreezer,surroundedbyfoodthatisalreadyfrozen.Afteradding
freshfoodtothefreezer,allow24hoursforittobefullyfrozenbeforeaddinganymorefreshfood.
