Note

PREP ARING THE FRIDGE / FREEZER

Install all shelves and compartments removed during transport and place them in the correct position.

You are advised to clean the appliance and accessories before switching the appliance on for the first time to remove any dust that accumulated during packing and shipping. Please clean the water dispenser (select

models only) with an detergent, especially if there is an odor. Switch on the appliance for approximately 2 hours before loading it with frozen food for the first time. Do not load with frozen food until the freezer temperature is at least -18°C. If you want to store frozen food as rapidly as possible, set the temperature control to the coldest temperature (-25°C) and let the appliance operate for one hour. The appliance is preset for normal operation. We recommend temperatures of +3°C in the refrigerator and -19°C in the freezer.

The interior light of the appliance will light up when the door is open. This interior light will go out when the door is closed

Your appliance is operated by a compressor which switches “on and off” to maintain the internal temperature.When the compressor is new, it requires running in for a period of up to five months.During this per iod, it may be slightly noisy. This is quite nor mal and does not represent a fault.

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.

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