Do not place your Fridge/Freezer near a heat source, e.g. Cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight in
out-buildings or sun lounges.
Leveling the Fridge/Freezer
Make sure the Fridge/Freezer is level. Use the rotating leveling feet at the front. If the Fridge/Freezer is not level, the
doors and magnetic seal alignments will be affected and may cause your Fridge/Freezer to work incorrectly.
After the Fridge/Freezer is in place, it can be used after 4 hours. This allows time for the coolant to settle.
Installation
Don
’
t cover or block the vents or grilles of your appliance.
If you're not at home for a long time
•
If the appliance will not be used for several months, turn off the refrigerator first and then unplug the unit from the wall
outlet.
•
Remove all the food.
•
Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it
open if necessary or have the door removed.
•
Keep the cleaned fridge in a dry, ventilated place away from the heat source, where the fridge is placed smoothly
and do not place heavy objects on top of the fridge.
•
Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible to child’s play.
Save energy
1. Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight and away from heating ducts or registers.
Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven or dishwasher.
2. The refrigerator door should remain open only as long as necessary; do not place hot food inside the refrigerator.
3. Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the
door as soon as possible.
4. The refrigerator door should be properly closed to avoid increased energy consumption, and the formation of excess
ice and / or condensation inside.
5. Constantly circulating cold air keeps the temperature homogenous inside the refrigerator. For this reason, it is
important to properly distribute the food, to facilitate the flow of air.
6. Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up
inside the unit.
7. Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use more
energy. Shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air
circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient, which could cause food spoilage.
8. The arrangement of food for storage and for freezing, where applicable, particularly including advice that food to be
frozen is not to be placed in direct contact with food in storage and, if appropriate, that it could be necessary to reduce
the quantity to be frozen if freezing every day is anticipated.
9. During prolonged absences (example: vacations), it is advisable to disconnect the refrigerator, remove all the food,
and clean it . The door should be left slightly open to avoid mold and unpleasant odors. This will not affect the
refrigerator when it is reconnected.
10. During short absences (example: holidays), the refrigerator can remain on. However, remember that prolonged power
outages may occur while you are gone.
11. The door to the evaporator clearance can be used to store food.
12. The storage time(s) recommended by the food manufacturers for any kind of food and particularly for commercially
quick-frozen food in food-freezer and frozen-food storage compartments or cabinets.
13. The precautions necessary to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while defrosting the
refrigerating appliance, such as wrapping the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
14. The fact that a rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting, maintenance or cleaning could
shorten the storage life.
15. The care required with regard to frozen food in storage in the event of an extended non-running of the refrigerating
appliance (interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating system).
16. It is better wrapping the frozen food in several layers of the glass shelves.
17. The care required with regard to frozen food in storage.
Maintenance and cleaning
1.Internal cleaning
Clean the Fridge/Freezer internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp
sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets in warm soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before replacing
in the Fridge/Freezer.
2.External cleaning
Use standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the Fridge/Freezer exterior.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the Fridge/Freezer and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft
brush attachment.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the Fridge/Freezer
