How to use the accessories
Water dispenser
Water dispenser is a very useful feature to obtain chilled water without opening the door of your fridge. Since you do not have to open the door of your fridge frequently, you also save on electricitiy.
Using the water dispenser (Fig. 6)
Push in the lever of the water dispenser with your glass. By releasing the lever, you cut off the dispensing.
When operating the water dispenser, maximum flow is achieved by fully depressing the lever. Please note, the rate of water flow from the dispenser depends on how far you
depress the lever. As the level of water in your cup / glass rises, gently reduce the amount of pressure on the lever to avoid overflow. If you depress the lever a small amount, then water will trickle; this is perfectly normal and is not a fault.
Filling the tank of the water dispenser (Fig. 7)
Open the cap of the water tank as illustrated in the figure. Fill with pure and clean drinking water. Close the cap.
To avoid accidental water dispensing, we recommend you lock the water dispenser.
Caution!
•Do not fill the water tank with liquid other than drinking water. Beverages such as fruit juice, carbonated fizzy soda drinks and alcoholic drinks are not suitable for use with water dispenser. If such liquids are used, the water dispenser will malfunction and may be damaged beyond repair. The guarantee does not cover such uses. Some chemical ingredients and additives in such drinks / beverages may also attack and damage water tank material.
•Only use clean pure drinking water.
•Capacity of water dispenser tank is 2.2 litres [3.8 pints], do not overfill.
•Push the water dispenser lever with a rigid cup. If you are using a plastic disposable cup, then push the lever with your fingers from behind the cup.
•A Safety Lock is supplied for your convenience and also to prevent small children tampering with - the water dispenser.
Cleaning the water tank (Fig. 8-9)
Remove the water tank, open the latches on both sides and detach the top cover mechanism. Clean with warm clean water, reinstall the top cover mechanism and fasten the latches.
When installing the water tank, make sure that hooks behind it fit securely into the hangers on the door. Make sure that parts removed during cleaning (if any) are installed correctly into their original locations, otherwise, water may leak.
Important:
Water tank and components of water dispenser are not dishwasher-proof.

To avoid accidental water dispensing, we recommend you lock the water dispenser. Water tray (Fig. 10)
Water that drips while using the water dispenser accumulates in the drip tray. Remove the drip tray by pulling it towards yourself and empty it from time to time. Remove the plastic drainer part as shown in the diagram by pressing down on the edge.
(Fig. 11)
Remove the water valve from the water tank as shown in the diagram. When re-fitting, make sure the O-shaped seal is in place. (Fig. 12)
Ice-matic (Fig. 13-14)
Fill the ice-matics with water and put them in place. Your ice will be ready in about two hours. It is not necessary to remove the ice-matic In order to obtain ice; just turn it 90° to the right, and the ice will drop into the ice-bowl below. Then take out the ice-bowl to serve the ice. If you wish, you can leave the ice in the bowl for a while.
Attention!
The ice-bowl is only meant for collecting ice. If you put water in, it will break.
Prior to startup
Before you begin operating your device, the following points should be re-checked for safety:
•Is the device standing properly on the floor?
•Is there sufficient space for good air circulation?
•Is the interior clean? (Also see the section “Cleaning and care”)
•Set the thermostat knob half way between 1 and 5 or Min. and Max.
•Now connect the device to the mains.
The compressor is turned on; the interior light comes on when the door is opened.
Do not place foodstuff into the refrigerator until the temperature has reached the desired level.

Cooling
Food storage
The fridge compartment is for the short-term storage of fresh food and drinks.
Store milk products in the intended compartment in the refrigerator.
Bottles can be stored in the bottle holder or in the bottle shelf of the door.
Raw meat is best kept in a polyethylene bag in the compartment at the very bottom of the refrigerator.
Allow hot foods and beverages to cool to room temperature prior to placing them in the refrigerator.
Attention
Store alcohol by standing containers upright and tightly closed.
Attention
Do not store explosive substances or containers with flammable propellant gases (canned cream, spray cans etc.) in the appliance. There is a danger of explosion.
Defrosting the appliance
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The thawing water flows through the drain channel into a collection container at the rear of the device (Fig. 5).
During defrosting, water droplets form at the back of the fridge due to the evaporator.
If not all of the drops run down, they may freeze again after defrosting remove them with a cloth soaked in warm water, but never with a hard or sharp object.
Check the flow of the thawed water from time to time.It may become plugged occasionally. Clean it with a q-tip or similar (see the section "Cleaning and care").

Freezing
Freezing food
The freezing compartment is marked with
this symbol.
You can use the appliance for freezing fresh food as well as for storing pre-frozen food. Please refer to the recommendations given on the packaging of your food.
Attention
Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the bottle may burst when the liquid in it is frozen.
Be careful with frozen products such as coloured ice-cubes.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 hours. See the rating label. In order to maintain the quality of the food, the freezing must be effected as rapidly as possible. Thus, the freezing capacity will not be exceeded, and the temperature inside the freezer will not rise.
Attention
When freezing new food always keep it separate from food already frozen.
When deep-freezing hot food, the cooling compressor will work until the food is completely frozen. This can temporarily cause excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.
If you find the freezer door difficult to open just after you have closed it, don’t worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalize and allow the door to open normally after a few minutes.
You will hear a vacuum sound just after closing the door. This is quite normal.
Defrosting of the appliance
The freezer compartment defrosts automatically.
Warnings!
The fan inside the freezer compartment circulates cold air.
Never insert any object through the guard. Do not allow children to play with the freezer fan.
Never store products that contain inflammable propellant gas
(e.g. dispensers, spray cans etc.) or explosive substances.
Don’t cover the shelves with any protective materials, which may obstruct air circulation. Do not allow children to play with the appliance
or tamper with the controls.
To ensure that you obtain the best possible performance from your appliance, do not obstruct the freezer fan guard.

Normal operating noises
Various functional noises are completely normal due to the operation of the cooling system of your appliance;
•Gurgling, hissing, boiling or bubbling noises are caused by the refrigerant, circulating inside the cooling system. These noises can still be heard for a short period of time after the compressor shuts off.
•Sudden, sharp cracking or popping noises are caused by the expansion and contraction of the inside walls or some components inside the cabinets.
•Buzzing, whirring, pulsating or high-pitched humming noises are caused by the compressor. These noises are slightly louder at the start-up of the compressor and reduce when the appliance reaches the operating temperatures.
Also to avoid disturbing vibrations and noises make sure that;
•Your refrigerator is standing level on all four feet.
•Your refrigerator is not in contact with the walls, surrounding objects or kitchen cabinets and furniture.
•Cans, bottles or dishes inside the refrigerator are not touching and rattling against each other.
•All shelves and bins are mounted correctly inside the refrigerator cabinets and doors.
