PREPARATION BEFORE USE
Installation
1. Remove all packing materials, including the transparent protective film
2. Clean the refrigerator before use
3. Let the refrigerator stand still for at least 2 hours before connecting it to the
power supply
4. Before each connection check if:
Power supply, socket and fusing are appropriate (see Rating plate)
The power socket is earthed and there is no multi-plug or extension
The power plug and socket are strictly according.
Notice: Please take off the protector on the pins of the plug. It takes 2 -3 hours before
the refrigerator can be normally used. Don’t put foods into the refrigerator right
after the refrigerator is energized.
Moving the appliance
1. Remove all food and unplug the appliance
2. Secure shelves and other moveable parts in the fridge and freezer with
adhesive tape
3. Do not tilt the appliance more than 45° to avoid damaging the refrigerating
system
4. Do not lift the appliance by its handles
5. Never place the appliance horizontally on the ground
Placement
The refrigerator should be placed on solid ground.
To avoid leaning forward, the adjustable black foot in the front of the
refrigerator can be adjusted. Turn clockwise to raise up the Refrigerator.
Never use foamed plastic as space or pad to lift up the refrigerator
To keep the refrigerator ventilated, there should be at least 10 cm against
the wall for each side.
Never place the Refrigerator in a damp place or with water splashes. Any
water drops or other contaminations shall be wiped out by a soft cloth to
prevent rusting or any impairment to the electrical insulation.
Do not use the appliance under 5 degrees, do not use it outside or in the
rain.
This appliance is intended to be use in a room with an ambient temperature
between 16°C and 43°C, since it can influence the temperature inside the appliance
and its energy consumption.
Install the appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to
the climate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance:
- Extended temperate (SN): ‘this refrigerating appliance is intended to be
used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C’
- Temperate (N): ‘this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at
ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C’
- Subtropical (ST): ‘this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at
ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 38 °C’
- Tropical (T): ‘this refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at
ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 43 °C’

Fine tuning of the doors
If the doors are still not at level after leveling the doors
by the feet, this mismatch can be remedied by turning
the hinge lifting shaft at the right bottom, corner of the
refrigerator door with a spanner
Turn the lifting shaft clockwise with a spanner
to lower the door height
Turn the lifting shaft anti clock with a spanner
to lift the door height
Space requirements
Energy saving tips
– The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from
heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
– Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing it in the appliance.
– Avoid unnecessary low temperature in the appliance, as the energy
consumption would increase
– Functions like Super Cool or Fast Freeze consume more energy
– Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in
the appliance. This cuts down on frost build -up inside the appliance. Appliance
storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or pap er
toweling. Do not overfill the appliance
– Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
– Open the appliance’s door as little and as briefly as possible, while keeping door
seals clean so that the door always closes correctly
– The most energy-saving configuration requires drawer, food box and shelves to
be positioned in the appliance on factory-fresh condition, and food to be
placed without blocking the air outlet of the duct

Tips on storing fresh food
Position different food in different compartments according to be below table
Refrigerator compartment
Type of food
Door or balconies of fridge
compartment
Foods with natural preservatives, such as jams,
juices, drinks, condiments.
Do not store perishable foods
Crisper drawers (salad drawer)
Fruits, herbs and vegetables should be placed
separately in the crisper bin
Do not store bananas, onions, potatoes,
garlic in the refrigerator
Fridge shelf – middle
Dairy products, eggs
13
Fridge shelf – top
Foods that do not need cocking, such as
ready-to-eat foods, deli meats, leftovers.
Freezer drawer(s)/tray
Foods for long-term storage
Bottom for raw meat, poultry, fish
Middle for frozen vegetables, chips.
Top for ice cream, frozen fruit, frozen baked
goods.
It’s suggested to set the temperature at 4°C in the fridge compartment, and,
whether possible, at -18°C in the freezer compartment.
For most food categories, the longest storage time in the fridge compartment is
achieved with colder temperatures. Since some particular products (as fresh
fruits and vegetables) may be damaged with colder temperatures, it is
suggested to keep them in the crisper drawers, whenever present. If not present,
maintain an average setting of the thermostat.
For frozen food, refer to the storage time written on the food packaging. This
storage time is achieved whenever the setting respects the reference
temperatures of the compartment (one-star -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars -18°
Notice: Acid, alkali and salt etc. could erode the internal surface of the freezer. Do
not place the food having these substances (e.g. sea fish) directly on the internal
surface. Salt water in the freezer should be cleaned up immediately.
Notice: Keep a distance of more than 10 mm between food and sensor as to ensure
the cooling effect.

SCRAPPING OLD APPLIANCES
This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2012/19/EU on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). WEEE contains both polluting substances (which

remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and recover and recycle all materials.
Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that WEEE does not become an
environmental issue; it is essential to follow some basic rules:
WEEE should not be treated as household waste.
WEEE should be handed over to the relevant collection points managed by the
municipality or by registered companies. In many countries, for large WEEE, home
collection could be present.
In many countries, when you buy a new appliance, the old one may be returned to the
retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a one-to-one basis, as long as the
equipment is of equivalent type and has the same functions as th e supplied
equipment.
