g. 1:
INSTALLATION
Before using your fridge freezer, you should pay attention to the following points:
• The operating voltage for your fridge freezer is 220-240V at 50Hz. Statesman does not accept
responsibility for any damages that occur due to ungrounded usage.
• Place your fridge freezer where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Your appliance should be at least 50cm away from stoves, gas ovens and heater cores, and at
least 5cm away from electrical ovens.
• Your fridge freezer should never be used outdoors or exposed to rain.
• When your fridge freezer is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be at least 2cm between
them to prevent humidity forming on the outer surface.
• Do not place anything on your fridge freezer, and install your fridge freezer in a suitable place so
that at least 15cm of free space is available above it.
• Do not place heavy items on the appliance.
• 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
freezer.
• Before using your fridge freezer, 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° (see g. 1)
to prevent the condenser from touching the wall.
• The refrigerator should be placed against a wall with a free space not exceeding 75mm.
IMPORTANT:
• When using your fridge for the rst time, or after transportation, keep it in an upright position
for at least 3 hours before plugging into the mains. This allows ecient operation and prevents
damage to the compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the rst time. This is normal and the smell
will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Adjusting the Temperature
The fridge freezer thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the compartments.
By rotating the thermostat control knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be obtained
(see g. 11).
g. 11:
Thermostat Control Knob
Thermostat Settings:
• 1 – 2: For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob between
the minimum and medium position.
• 3 – 4: For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob to the
medium position.
• 5: For freezing fresh food. The appliance will work for longer. So, after the desired condition is
reached, return the knob to the previous setting.
Warnings about temperature adjustments:
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge freezer in environments colder than 10°C in
terms of its eciency.
• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings and the
quantity of food kept inside the fridge freezer.
• When you rst switch on the appliance, you should ideally try to run it without any food in for 24
hours and not open the door. If you need to use it straight away, try not to put a large quantity of
food inside.
• A 5 minute delay function is included to prevent damage to the compressor of your fridge freezer,
when you unplug it and then plug it in again to operate it, or when an energy breakdown occurs.
Your fridge freezer will start to operate normally after 5 minutes.
• Your fridge freezer is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the
standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. It is not recommended
that your fridge freezer is operated in the environments which are out of the stated temperature
intervals. This will reduce the cooling eciency of the fridge.
• This appliance is designed for use at an ambient temperature within the 16°C – 32°C range.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: The power supply MUST be disconnected before cleaning.
• Do not clean the appliance by pouring water.
• Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical components.
• The fridge freezer should be cleaned periodically using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and
lukewarm water.
• Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not clean them in the dishwasher.
• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After washing, rinse with clean water and
dry carefully. When you have nished cleaning, reconnect the plug to the mains supply with dry
hands.
• Clean the condenser with a broom at least twice a year. This will help you to save on energy
costs and increase productivity.
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
owing out (see g. 12).
g. 12:

15
DEFROSTING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
• The frost, which covers the shelves of the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically.
• Do not use sharp metal objects for this operation. They could puncture the refrigerant circuit and
cause irreparable damage to the unit. Use the plastic scraper provided.
• When there is more than 5mm of frost on the shelves, defrosting must be carried out.
• Before defrosting, place the frozen food in a cool place after wrapping it in sheets of newspaper
(this will help the food to maintain its temperature for longer).
• To accelerate the defrosting process, place one or more bowls of warm water in the freezer
compartment.
• Dry the inside of the compartment with a sponge or a clean cloth (see g. 4).
• Once the unit has been defrosted, place the food into freezer and remember to consume it in a
short period of time.
g. 13:
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
• Use a clean, damp soft cloth to wipe the exterior surface of the appliance and dry thoroughly.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from underneath the appliance and from around the
compressor which is situated at the back of the appliance, regularly to maintain adequate
ventilation. Use caution not to damage the coolant system.
Important: Do not use abrasive cloths, powders, household cleaners, bleach or wax polish to clean
the appliance as these can leave a smell in the appliance and can damage the exterior.
DOOR SEAL
Use a clean, damp soft cloth to wipe the door seal and in between the creases, avoid damaging the
door seal as this will aect the performance of your appliance.
GOING AWAY
If you are going away and do not want to leave the appliance left on, switch o at the socket and
remove the plug from the mains sockets ensuring not to pull the cord. Remove any food and follow
the cleaning instructions in the “Cleaning and Maintenance” section.
Note: Leave the door ajar as this will prevent odours and mould accumulating in the appliance and
will allow the appliance to dry completely.
