PREPARING THE REFRIGERATOR /FREEZER
5
Install all shelves and compartments removed during transport in the correct positions.
You are advised to clean the appliance and accessories before switching the appliance on for the
first time to remove any dust that accumulated during packing and shipping.
Please clean the water tank with an edible detergent, especially if there is an odor.
Switch on the appliance for approximately 2 hours before loading it with frozen food for the first
time. Do not load with frozen food until the temperature of freezer shows at least -18
°C
.
If you want to store frozen food as rapidly as possible, set the temperature control to the coldest
temperature (-25
°C
) and let the appliance operate for one hour.
The appliance is preset for normal operation. We recommend temperatures of +3
°C
in the
refrigerator and -19
°C
in the freezer.
The interior light of the appliance will light up when the door is open.
Your appliance is operated by a compressor which switches “on and off” to maintain the internal
temperature. When the compressor is new, it requires running in for a period of up to five months.
During this period, it may be slightly noisy. This is quite normal and does not represent a fault.
Store food once the temperature in the refrigerator is sufficiently low. It takes a few hours after
starting the refrigerator to reach the proper temperature.
If the appliance does not operate correctly, check the electricity supply. If the problem persists,
contact your dealer.
To prepare your appliance for use and check that it is running correctly, take the following steps.
