• This appliance contains the coolant
Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which
is environmentally friendly. Although it
is flammable, it does not damage the
ozone layer and does not increase the
greenhouse effect. The use of this
coolant has, however, led to a slight
increase in the noise level of the
appliance. In addition to the noise of
the compressor, you might be able to
hear the coolant flowing around the
system. This is unavoidable, but does
not have any adverse effect on the
performance of the appliance.
Care must be taken during the
transportation and installation of the
appliance that no parts of the cooling
system are damaged. Leaking coolant
can damage the eyes.

compartment and freezer compartment.By
rotating the control knob from position 1 to 5,
colder temperatures can be obtained. « • »
position shows the thermostat is closed and
no cooling will be available.
• For short-term storage of food in the freezer
compartment, you can set the knob between 1
and 3 position.
• For long-term storage of food in the freezer
compartment, you can set the control knob
between the 3-4 position.
The ambient temperature, of the freshly stored
food and how often the door is opened, affects
the temperature in the refrigerator compartment.
If required,change the temperature setting.
Super switch
• Normally set this switch to ‘ ’
position. Except when the
ambient temperature is low
like in winter. (ie.below 16°C)
or when the freeze r
temperature needs to be
maintained lower. In such
cir c um stances, turn the

Ice tray
• Do not block the air inlet and outlet openings
wh en stor ing food as this will restrict
cir cula tion and reduce the appl iance
efficiency.
“Door Open” Indicator
• The «Door Open» indicator
on the handle shows whether
the door has closed properly
or whether it is still open.
• If the indicator is red, the door
is still open.
• If the indicator is white, the
door is properly closed.
• The freezer’s door should always be kept
closed. This will prevent food products from
defrosting, it will avoid heavy ice and frost
build -u p inside the freezer and an
unnec es sa ry increas e in ene rg y
consumption.
• Fill the ice tray with water and place in freezer
compartment.
• After the water has completely frozen , you
can twist the tray as shown below to get the
ice cubes.

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE
Refrigerator compartment
•
To reduce humidity and consequent
increase of frost, never place liquids in
unsealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost
tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of
the evaporator and in time will require more
frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the refrigerator.
Warm food should be allowed to cool at room
temperature and should be arranged to
ensure adequate air cir culation in the
refrigerator compartment.
•
Nothing should touch the back wall as it will
cause frost and the packages can stick on
the back wall. Do not open the refrigerator
door too frequently.
• Arrange the meat and cleaned fish(wrapped
in packages or sheets of plastic) which you
will use in 1-2 days,in the bottom section of
the refrigerator compartment(that is above the
vegetable holder) as this is the coldest
section and will ensure the best storing
conditions.
• You can p lace fruit a nd ve g etables
unwrapped in the vegetable holder.
Freezer compartment
• When freezing fresh food ensure it is wrapped
securely
•
Once the unit has been defrosted replace the
foods into freezer and remember to consume
them in as short period of time as possible.
• Never place wa rm food in the freezer
compartment.
• For storing frozen foods;the instructions
shown on frozen food packages should
always be followed car efully and if no
information is provided food should not be
stored for more than 3 months from the
purchased date.
• When buying frozen foods ensure that these
have been frozen at suitable temperatures
and that the packing is intact.
• Frozen foods should be transported in
appropriate containers to maintain the
quality of the food and should be returned
to the freezer compartment in the shortest
possible time.
• The storage life of frozen foods depends on
the room temperature, thermostat setting, how
often the door is opened, the type of food and
the length of time required to transport the
product from the shop to your home. Always
follow the instruductions printed on the
package and never exceed the maximum
storage life indicated.
