PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
INSTALLATION: Handle by two or more people. Be careful not to damage floors. Ensure ventilation. Do not damage refrigerant pipes. Install on a strong, level floor in a dry, well-ventilated place. Check climate class and ambient temperature range. Ensure voltage matches home supply. Do not use adapters or extension cords. Use supplied water pipe. Power cable modification must be by qualified personnel. Ensure appliance can be disconnected from power supply.
SAFETY: Do not store flammable liquids nearby. Do not use mechanical/electric/chemical means to speed up defrost. Do not use unauthorized electrical devices inside. Not intended for use by persons with reduced capabilities unless supervised. Do not allow children to play or hide inside. Do not swallow ice pack contents. Do not eat ice cubes immediately after removal to avoid cold burns.
USE: Unplug before maintenance/cleaning. Connect water dispenser to drinking water supply. Use refrigerator for fresh food, freezer for frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes. Do not store glass containers with liquids in the freezer.
FIRST USE
Connect to mains power. Ideal temperatures are factory set (3-5/MED). Wait 2-3 hours after switching on for temperature to stabilize.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Clean regularly with warm water and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive detergents or tools. Clean the defrost water drain hole. Unplug before cleaning.
IF THE APPLIANCE IS NOT GOING TO BE USED
Disconnect from power, remove food, defrost, and clean. Leave doors open for air circulation to prevent mould and odours.
IN CASE OF POWER FAILURES
Keep doors closed. Do not refreeze partially thawed food; consume within 24 hours.
OPERATION OF THE REFRIGERATOR AND FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Temperature is adjusted using the thermostat knob (figure 1). Move knob to • to switch off. Ambient temperature, door opening frequency, and appliance position affect internal temperatures.
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
Defrosting is automatic. Droplets of water on the rear wall indicate defrost phase. Fan (if provided) ensures even temperature distribution.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
**** star rating. Store packed frozen foods as indicated. Freeze fresh food, avoiding contact with frozen food. Refer to quick guide for freezing fresh food details. Re-freezing partially defrosted food is not recommended.
DEFROSTING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Defrost once or twice a year or when frost reaches 3mm. Switch off appliance, remove food, and leave door open. For some models, pull out defrost water drain and place container. Clean, rinse, and dry. Switch back on and store food.
STORING FOOD
Wrap food to prevent moisture/odours. Never place hot food in the freezer. Cool hot foods before freezing.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
