BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE
1.5 Before Operating your Fridge
• When it is operated for the first time or after transportation, keep your fridge in the
upright position for 3 hours and plug it on to allow efficient operation. Otherwise, you
may damage the compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time; the smell will fade
away when your fridge starts to cool.
•
The condenser is located at the back of your appliance. It is
advised to place the 2 supplied spacers on the condenser so as to
leave a free space between the appliance and the wall.
•
The refrigerator should be placed against a wall; for safety reasons,
the distance between the back of the appliance and the wall shall
be comprised between 10 and 75mm maximum.
•
Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, ovens
and heater cores, and should be at least 5 cm away from electrical
ovens.
•
It should never be used outdoors or left under the rain.
•
When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be at least 2 cm between
them to prevent humidity 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 is available on the upper side.
•
The adjustable feet on the front of the appliance should be stabilized in an appropriate
height to allow your fridge operate in a stable and proper way. You can adjust them by
turning them clockwise (or in the opposite direction). This should be done before placing
food in the fridge.
•
Before using your fridge, wipe all parts with warm water added with a tea spoonful
of sodium bicarbonate, and then rinse with clean water and dry. Place all parts after
cleaning.
• Before using your appliance for the first time, plug it in and allow it to work for 24 hours.
Do not open doors too often or put too much food in during this period.
