Before using the appliance, 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.
Before using the appliance
• 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.
