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.
