EN - 5 -
• Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Do not eat ice-cream or ice
cubes immediately after you have taken them out of the ice-making
compartment.
• This product is intended to store fresh food and drinks. Store fresh food
and drinks short-term.

such as food poisoning.
• Do not use electrical devices, defrosting sprays or pointed or sharp-edged objects
(such as knives or forks) to remove the ice.
• Do not cover the body or top of fridge with lace. This affects the performance of your
fridge.
• Secure any accessories in the fridge during transportation to prevent damage to the
accessories.
Installing and operating your fridge
Before starting to use your fridge, you should pay attention to the following points:
• The operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• We do not accept responsibility for any damages that occur due to ungrounded
usage.
• Place your fridge where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, gas ovens and heater
cores, and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.
• Your fridge should never be used outdoors or exposed to rain.
• When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be at
least 2 cm between them to prevent humidity forming on the outer surface.
• Do not place anything on your fridge, and install your fridge in a suitable
place so that at least 15 cm of free space is available above it.
• 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.
• Before using your fridge, 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° (as shown in the figure) to prevent the condenser
from touching the wall.
• The refrigerator should be placed against a wall with a free space not
exceeding 75 mm.

If super switch is available:
To ensure proper operation when the ambient
temperature is below 20°C, press the button next to the
thermostat. Press the button again to turn it off when
the temperature is high (above 20°C).
PART- 2. THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES
Thermostat Setting
The thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the refrigerator. By rotating
the knob from position 1 to 5 colder temperatures can be obtained.
Important note: Do not try to rotate the knob beyond the 1 position, as it will stop your
appliance.
• For short-term storage of food in the fridge set the knob between the minimum and
medium position (1-3).
• For long-term storage of food in the fridge set the knob to a medium position (3-4).
Note: The ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often
the door is opened, all affect the temperature in the fridge. If required, change the
temperature setting.
• When you first switch on the appliance, allow it to operate for 24 hours continuously
to cool down to the correct temperature.
• During this initial 24 hour period do not open the door or place a lot of food inside the
appliance.
• If the appliance is switched off or unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before plugging
the appliance in or restarting it in order not to damage the compressor.
• The freezer**** of the refrigerator can cool to -18°C and more.
• The freezer** of the refrigerator can cool to -12°C and more.
Before Using your Fridge
• When using your fridge for the first time, or after transportation, keep it
in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging into the
mains. This allows efficient operation and prevents damage to the
compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time. This is normal and
the smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.

EN - 7 -
• The « Door Open » indicator on the handle shows whether the door
has closed properly or whether it is still open.
• If the indicator is red, the door is still open.
• If the indicator is white, the door is properly closed.
• Observe that the freezer’s door should always be kept closed. This
will prevent food products from defrosting; it will avoid heavy ice and
frost build-up inside the freezer and an unnecessary increase in
energy consumption.
Making Ice cubes:
Ice tray
Fill the ice tray with water and place in the freezer compartment.
After the water has completely turned into ice, you can twist the tray as shown below to
remove the ice cubes.

PART- 3. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.
• Do not clean the appliance by pouring water.
• Make sure that no water enters the lamp
housing and other electrical components.
• The refrigerator 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 wash-
ing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When you have
finished cleaning, reconnect the plugto 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.
THE POWER SUPPLY MUST BE DISCONNECTED.

EN - 9-
Defrosting the Refrigerator Compartment
• Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation;
the water is collected by the evaporation tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporation tray and the water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the
defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting at the bottom of the refrigerator
instead of flowing out.
• You can also clean the drain hole by pouring 1/2 glass of water down it.
Freezer Compartment;
The frost, accumulated in the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically (Use
the plastic scraper provided). The freezer compartment should be cleaned in the same
way as the refrigerator compartment, with the defrost function of the compartment at least
twice a year.
For this:
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to “5” position to freeze the food
completely.
• During defrosting, frozen food should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept
in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten its storage life.
Remember to use this food within a relatively short period of time.
• Set the thermostat knob to position “•” or unplug the unit. Leave the door open until
the unit is completely defrosted.
• To accelerate the defrosting process, one or more bowls of warm water can be
placed in the freezer compartment.
• Dry the inside of the unit carefully and set the thermostat knob to the MAX position.
