RECOMMENDATIONS
Allow air to circulate behind the refrigerator.
Do not cover the front grill or top of the
refrigerator with any object. If the refrigerator is
placed underneath a cupboard, leave a space for

As far as possible avoid locating near to
heat sources.
If the refrigerator needs to be laid down for
unpacking or to change the direction of the
doors, ONLY LAY IT DOWN ON THE REAR
SECTION.

hinges can be changed to the other side. Instructions are
contained in the section on changing the direction of door
opening.
IMPORTANT. Ensure that the refrigerator is
well seated on the ground (without
movement) and is properly levelled (without
tilting) by adjusting the levelling feet.
This refrigerator operates at 220/230 v. If the voltage
in your home is different, a transformer should be
used with an outpout of not less than 700 W.
Use an EARTHED plug.
NOTE: The manufacturer will not accept any liability
in the event that these recommendations are not
followed.
BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER
1.- Clean the inside of the refrigerator.
2.- Wait for 2 hours before connecting, to ensure proper functioning.
3.- Connect to the power.
Your refrigerator’s climate classification is stated on the specifications plate, and defines the
room temperature range for which the cooling unit
is designed, at which the apparatus is guaranteed
to operate correctly. Where two classes are indicated,
the unit will operate correctly in both.

DEFROSTING
The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting system and it is
not therefore necessary to take any action.
The back wall of the refrigerator
is normally covered with drops
of water or ice. This is
completely NORMAL and is part
of the automatic defrosting
process.
Periodically, or if the water
collection channel is
obstructed by dirt or foreign
material, remove the cleaning
cover, clean and replace it. This
will prevent water from spilling
outside the water collection
channel.
Ensure that foods does not
touch the back wall. The trays
have a limit point for this
purpose which should not be
exceeded.

USING THE FREEZER
DEFROSTING FOOD
The same method should not be
used for defrosting all types of food.
If you purchase frozen food from
stores, follow the instructions on
the packaging.
Green vegetables should be
cooked without defrosting.
Pre-cooked and ready prepared
food can generally be cooked
without defrosting.
Meat and fish should be slowly
defrosted in the refrigerator over
several hours. If you have a
microwave oven, defrosting can to
a large extent be accelerated.
Fill the trays inside the freezer
three quarters full of water.
Place the trays in the freezer,
preferably in the top section.
Once frozen, the ice cubes can be
removed by gently twisting the
trays.

USING THE FREEZER
DEFROSTING AND CLEANING
A layer of ice or frost will in
time form on the walls of the
freezer.
This will lead to an increased
power consumption.
In order to avoid this, the
layer of ice should be
removed at least twice each
year.
Press the on/off button. The pilot light will
go out and the freezer will be turned off.
Remove frozen food, wrap it in newspaper
and place it in the refrigerator as an
excessive rise in temperature could reduce
the food conservation period.
Leave the door open and unfold the flexible
tab in the base of the freezer. Place one of
the drawers, except for the bottom one,
underneath it to collect the water.
When finished, return the tab to its original
position.
You may help remove the ice with a spatula
(non-metallic) or by placing a container
with hot water inside.
Dry the inside thoroughly.
Press the on/off button. The pilot light will
appear and the freezer will be turned on.
Two hours later the frozen food can be
replaced in the freezer.
