BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
Installing and operating your fridge
Before using your fridge, you should pay attention to the following
points:
• The operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• The mains cord of your fridge is fitted with a grounded plug. This
plug should be used with a grounded receptacle that has a 16
ampere fuse minimum. If you don’t have a receptacle which
conforms to this, contact a qualified electrician.
• 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 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.
