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 as illustrated in the following figure. 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 fridge door is open the fridge compartment 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 product to a grounded socket which is being protected by a fuse with the appropriate capacity.

Important:

The connection must be in compliance with national regulations.

The power cable plug must be easily accessible after installation.

Voltage and permitted fuse protection are indicated in the “Specifications” section.

The specified voltage must be equal to your mains voltage.

Extension cables and multiway plugs must not be used for connection.

A damaged power cable must be replaced by a qualified electrician.

Product must not be operated before it is repaired! There is danger of electric

shock!

Disposing of the packaging

The packing materials may be dangerous for children. Keep the packing materials out of the reach of children or dispose them of by classifying them in accordance with the waste instructions. Do not

dispose them of along with the normal household waste.

The packing of your refrigerator is produced from recyclable materials.

Disposing of your old refrigerator

Dispose of your old machine without giving any harm to the environment.

You may consult your authorized dealer or waste collection center of your municipality about the disposal of your refrigerator.

9EN

Before disposing of your refrigerator, cut out the electric plug and, if there are any locks on the door, make them inoperable in order to protect children against any danger.

Adjusting the legs

If your refrigerator is unbalanced;

You can balance your refrigerator by turning the front legs of it as illustrated in the figure. The corner where the leg exists is lowered when you turn

in the direction of black arrow and raised when you turn in the opposite direction. Taking help from someone to slightly lift the refrigerator will facilitate this process.

If the bulb works, replace the light cover by inserting the rear lug and pushing up to locate the front two lugs.

4- If the light still fails to work, switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. Replace the bulb with a new 15 watt (max) screw cap (SES) bulb.

5- Carefully dispose of the burnt-out light bulb immediately.

Replacement light bulb can easily be obtained from a good local electrical or DIY store.

Replacing the interior light bulb

Should the light fail to work, proceed as follows.

1- Switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.

You may find it useful to remove shelves for easy access.

2- Use a flat tipped screwdriver to remove the light diffuser cover.

3- First check that the bulb hasn’t worked loose by ensuring it is screwed securely in the holder. Replace the plug and switch on.
