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.
