Thermostat Settings
• Set the knob to a low/medium position,
up to 3, for short-term storage of food in
the appliance.
• Set the knob to a medium position, 3 or
4, for long-term storage of food in the
appliance.
• For long-term storage of food in the
refrigerator, you can set knop maximum

3.2 Temperature Settings Warnings
• The ambient temperature, temperature of
the freshly stored food and how often the
door is opened affects the temperature
in the fridge. If required, change the
temperature setting.
• It is not recommended that you operate
your fridge in environments colder than
10°C in terms of its efciency.
• When setting the thermostat, take into
consideration how often the appliance
door is opened and closed, how much
food is stored in the refrigerator, and the
environment in which the refrigerator is
located.
EN - 9
• When the appliance is rst switched on,
allow it to run for 24 hours in order to
reach operating temperature. During this
time, do not open the door and do not
keep a large quantity of food inside.
• Unplug your appliance during a power cut
to prevent damage to the compressor.
Once power is restored, delay plugging
in your appliance for 5 to 10 minutes.
This will help prevent damage to the
appliance's components.
• Your appliance is designed to operate in
the ambient temperature ranges stated
in the standards, according to the climate
class stated in the information label. It
is not recommended that your fridge is
operated in the environments which are
outside of the stated temperature ranges.
This will reduce the cooling efciency of
the appliance.
• Your appliance is designed to operate in
the ambient temperature (T/N = 16°C 43°C) intervals stated in the standards,
according to the climate class displayed
on the information label. We do not
recommend operating your appliance out

of cooling effectiveness.
Climate
Class
T Between 16 and 43 (°C)
ST Between 16 and 38 (°C)
N Between 16 and 32 (°C)
SN Between 10 and 32 (°C)
Ambient Temperature oC
4 FOOD STORAGE
• To reduce humidity and avoid the
consequent formation of frost, always
store liquids in sealed containers in the
refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in
the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid
and, in time, your appliance 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 circulation in the refrigerator
compartment.
• Make sure no items are in direct contact
with the rear wall of the appliance as
frost will develop and packaging will stick
to it. Do not open the refrigerator door
frequently.
• We recommend that meat and clean sh
are loosely wrapped and stored on the
glass shelf just above the vegetable bin
where the air is cooler, as this provides
the best storage conditions.
• Store loose fruit and vegetable items in
the crisper containers.
• Store loose fruit and vegetables in the
crisper.
• Storing fruit and vegetables separately
helps prevent ethylene-sensitive
vegetables (green leaves, broccoli,
carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylenereleaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot,
g etc.).
• Do not put wet vegetables into the
refrigerator.
• Storage time for all food products
depends on the initial quality of the food
and an uninterrupted refrigeration cycle
before refrigerator storage.
• To avoid cross-contamination do not
store meat products with fruit and
vegetables. Water leaking from meat
may contaminate other products in the
refrigerator. You should package meat
products and clean any leakages on the
shelves.
EN - 10
• Do not put food in front of the air ow
passage.
• Consume packaged foods before the
recommended expiry date.
NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic
should not be stored in the refrigerator.

5.1 Defrosting
5.2 Replacing the Light Bulb
Defrosting the Refrigerator
Compartment
• Defrosting occurs automatically in
the refrigerator compartment during
operation. The water is collected by
the evaporation tray and evaporates
automatically.
• The evaporation tray and the water drain
hole should be cleaned periodically with
the defrost drain plug to prevent the
water from collecting at the bottom of the
refrigerator instead of owing out.
• You can also clean the drain hole by
pouring half a glass of water down it.

SALES SERVICE
6.1 Transportation and Changing
Positioning
• The original packaging and foam may be
kept for re-transportation (optional).
• Fasten your appliance with thick
packaging, bands or strong cords and
follow the instructions for transportation
on the packaging.
• Remove all movable parts (shelves,
accessories, vegetable bins, and so on)
or x them into the appliance against
shocks using bands when re-positioning
or transporting.
Always carry your appliance in the
upright position.
Your fridge is not operating
Check if:
• There is power
• The plug is correctly connected to the
socket
• The plug or mains fuse has blown
• The socket is faulty. Examine this by
plugging your fridge into a working
socket.
The appliance performs poorly
Check if:
• The appliance is overloaded
• The doors are closed properly
• There is any dust on the condenser
• There is enough space near the rear and
side walls.
Your fridge is operating noisily
Motor noise: Indicates the compressor
is operating normally. The compressor
may cause more noise for a short time
when it is rst activated.
Bubbling noise and splash: Due to
the ow of the refrigerant in the tubes of
the system.
Air blowing noise: Indicates normal
operation of the system due to the
circulation of air.
There is a build-up of humidity inside
the cooler
Check if:
• All food is packed properly. Containers
must be dry before being placed in the
fridge.
• The fridge door is opened frequently.
Humidity of the room enters the fridge
when the doors are opened. Humidity
increases faster when the doors are
opened more frequently, especially if the
humidity of the room is high.
EN - 13
The door is not opening and closing
properly
Check if:
• There is food or packaging preventing the
door from closing
• The door compartments, shelves and
drawers are placed properly
• The door joints are broken or torn
• Your fridge is level.
Recommendations
• If the appliance is switched off or
unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before
plugging the appliance in or restarting
it in order to prevent damage to the
compressor.
• If you will not use your fridge for a long
time (e.g. in summer holidays) unplug it.
Clean your fridge according to chapter
cleaning and leave the door open to
prevent humidity and smell.
• If a problem persists after you have
followed all the above instructions, please
consult the nearest authorised service
centre.
• The appliance you have purchased is
designed for domestic use only. It is not
suitable for commercial or common use.
If the consumer uses the appliance in a
way that does not comply with this, we
emphasise that the manufacturer and
the dealer will not be responsible for any
repair and failure within the guarantee
period.
8 TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
1. Install the appliance in a cool, wellventilated room, but not in direct sunlight
and not near a heat source (such as a
radiator or oven) otherwise an insulating
plate should be used.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool
before placing them inside the appliance.
3. Drinks or other liquids should be
covered when inside the appliance. If
left uncovered, the humidity inside the
appliance will increase, therefore the
appliance uses more energy. Keeping
drinks and other liquids covered helps
preserve their smell and taste.
4. Avoid keeping the doors open for long
periods and opening the doors too
frequently as warm air will enter the
appliance and cause the compressor to
switch on unnecessarily often.
5. Keep the covers of the different
temperature compartments ( such as the
crisper and chiller) closed.
6. The door gasket must be clean and
pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
