Installation
• Position the appliance and allow it to stand for two to three
hours before it is turned on for the first time to allow the
system to settle. Do not position next to any heat source e.g.
cooker, boiler or in direct sunlight etc.
• Allow at least 10cm of space at the top and 10 cm of space on
both sides of the appliance and between the back of the ap-
pliance and the wall for adequate air circulation. The appli-
ance is not designed for recessed installation (“building in”).
• Install on a good firm level surface, and any unevenness
of the floor should be corrected prior to installation, slight
unevenness can be overcome by adjusting the front feet.
NOTE:
If the appliance is positioned on a carpet, soft floor cover-
ing you should readjust the front feet once the appliance has had
time to settle.
Use
• This appliance is designed to operate in ambient tempera-
ture between 16°C and 38°C. If these temperatures are ex-
ceeded, i.e. colder or warmer, the appliance will not operate
correctly. If the ambient temperatures are exceeded for long
periods, the temperature in the freezer section will rise above
-18°C and food spoilage may occur.
• Remove all packaging materials from the appliance. Wash
the inside of the cabinet with lukewarm water and bicar-
bonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 liter of water). Dry the appliance
thoroughly.
• When you use the freezer for the first time or after defrost-
ing, set the thermostat control to the maximum position for
at most 2 hours before introducing food to be stored, and
then readjust to the normal position.
• If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen
food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than
25 hours. If the failure is longer, then the food should be
checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then
re-frozen.
SETTING THE THERMOSTAT KNOB
• The refrigerator is controlled with a thermostat knob located
inside the fridge, towards the upper right-hand corner. (Turn
the knob from the STOP (0/OFF) position towards the higher
numbers for colder temperatures. The knob can be adjusted
from setting 1 to 7.)
• Higher settings on the knob (higher numbers) mean lower
temperatures (colder) in all compartments of the appliance.
• Changes of the ambient temperature affect temperature in
the interior of the appliance so choose a correct setting of
the temperature control knob, depending on your ambient
conditions.
• In the STOP (0/OFF) position the appliance does not operate
(the cooling system is switched off), but power supply is not
interrupted.
