Installing and operating your fridge
Before starting to use your fridge, you should pay attention to the following points:
• Operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• We do not take the responsibility of the damages that occur due to ungrounded usage.
• Place your fridge in a place that it would not be exposed to direct sunlight.
•
Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, Gas ovens and heater cores,
and should be at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.
• Your fridge should never be used outdoors or left under the rain.
• When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be at least
2 cm between them to prevent humidity 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 is available on the upper side.
• The adjustable front legs should be adjusted to make sure your appliance is
level and stable. You can adjust the legs by turning them clockwise (or in the opposite
direction). This should be done before placing food in the fridge.
• Before using your fridge, wipe all parts back with warm water added with a tea spoonful
of sodium bicarbonate, and then rinse with clean water and dry. Place all parts 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 touch -
ing the wall.
• Refrigerator should be placed against a wall with a free distance not ex -
ceeding 75 mm.
Before Using your Fridge
• When it is operated for the first time or after transportation, keep your fridge
in the upright position for 3 hours and plug it on to allow efficient operation.
Otherwise, you may damage the compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time; the smell will fade
away when your fridge starts to cool.
