• Mains cord of your fridge has a grounded plug. This plug should be used with a
grounded receptacle that has a 16 ampere fuse minimum. If you don’t have a
receptacle confirming with this, please have it done by a qualified electrician.

• When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be at
least 2 cm between them to prevent humidity on the outer surface.
• Do not place anything on your fridge, and install your fridge in a
suitable place so that at least 15 cm is available on the upper side.
• The adjustable front legs should stabilized in an appropriate height to allow your
fridge operate in a stable and proper way. You can adjust the legs by turning them
clockwise (or in the opposite direction). This should be done before placing food in
the fridge.

• For sho rt -term storage of food in t h e fr eezer
compartment, you can set the knob between 1 and 3
position.
• For long-ter m storage of fo o d in t h e freez er
compartment, you can set knop 3-4 position.
Note that ; the ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often
th e do or is op e ned, aff ects the temperature in the ref rigerator compar t ment. If
required,change the temperature setting.
Super switch
If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before
restarting or re-plugged the unit in order not to damage the compressor.
(If super switch is available)
• Normally set this switch to ‘ ’ position. Except when the
ambient temperature is low like in winter.(ie.below 16°C) or
when the freezer temperature needs to be maintained lower.
In that case, turn the switch to ‘ ’ position ON.
• To set super switch ON that is on the thermostat box, press the
switch down to ’position. The switch will lit.
• When the freezer compartment is cooled down to sufficient
temperature, or the weather gets hot, turn the super switch off
to save electrical consumption.
• When you first switch on the appliance, for starting a suitable
cooling, the appliance should work 24 hours continuously until
it cools down to sufficient temperature.

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 circulation in the
refrigerator compartment.
• Nothing should touch on 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 crisper) as this is the coldest section and will ensure the best storing
conditions.
• You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.
Freezer compartment
• The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen foods for long periods of time
and making ice cubes.
• To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much of the surface as possible of food to be
frozen is in contact with the cooling surface.
• Do not put fresh food with frozen on side by side as it can thaw the frozen food.
• While freezing fresh foods(i.e meat,fish and mincemeat), divide them in parts you
will use in one time.
• Once the unit has been defrosted replace the foods into freezer and remember to
consume them in as short period of time.
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment. As it will disturb the frozen foods.
• For storing the frozen foods;the instructions shown on frozen food packages should
always be followed carefully 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 freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest
possible time.
• If a package of frozen food shows the sign of humidity and abnormal swelling it is
probable that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that
the contents have deteriorated.
• 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 instructions
printed on the package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
Not that; if you want to open again immediately after closing the freezer door, it will not be
opened easily. It’s quite normal! After reaching equilibrium condition, the door will be
opened easily.
