• 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 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.
