C Always remember...

Every recycled material is an indispensable source for the nature and for our national resources.

If you wish to contribute to recycling the packaging materials, you can get further information from the environmental bodies or local authorities.

Before operating your refrigerator

Before starting to use your refrigerator

check the following:

1. Is the interior of the refrigerator dry

and can the air circulate freely in the

rear of it?

2. Insert the 2 plastic wedges onto the

rear ventilation cover as illustrated

in the following figure. To do this,

remove the screws on the product

and use the screws given in the same pouch. Plastic wedges will provide the required distance between your refrigerator and the wall in order to allow the air circulation.

3. Clean the interior of the refrigerator as recommended in the “Maintenance and cleaning” section.

4. Plug the refrigerator into the wall outlet. When the door is open the respective interior light will come on.

5. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, even if the compressor is not running and this is quite normal.

6. Front edges of the refrigerator may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are designed to be warm to avoid condensation.

Electric connection

Connect your refrigerator to a grounded

socket which is being protected by a fuse with the appropriate capacity.

Important:

B The connection must be in

compliance with national regulations.

B The power cable plug must be easily

accessible after installation.

B Voltage and allowable fuse protection

are specified in the “Technical Specifications” section.
