LEVELING

To Prepare your appliance for use and check that it is
running correctly, take the following steps.

1. Install removed all shelves and compartments during
transport in the correct positions.

2. Clean the fridge / freezer and accessories to remove any
dust that accumulated during packing and shipping.

refrigerator door’s opened

4. Set the temperature control to the coldest temperature
and let the refrigerator operate for one hour.

During this period, it may be slightly noisy.
This is quite normal and does not represent a fault.

5. Store food once the temperature in the refrigerator is
sufficiently low. It takes a few hours after starting the
refrigerator to reach the proper temperature.
If the appliance does not operate correctly, check the
electricity supply.
If the problem persists, contact your dealer.
