ALL-REFRIGERATOR
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
• Remove the interior and exterior packaging
• Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand
upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a
malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Tips for Energy Savings
• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is hot
and humid. Once you open the door try to close it as soon as possible.
• Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated
(adequate air circulation behind the appliance).
• Set thermostat from higher to lower settings as soon as possible
(depending on how loaded the appliance is, the ambient temperature
etc...).
• The coils on the rear of the refrigerator should be cleaned and free of
dust or any other impurities.
• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so do clean the
appliance as soon as the layer is 1/8” thick.
• Always consider instructions stated in sections Positioning and Energy
Saving Tips, otherwise the energy consumption is substantially higher.
• Do not place hot foods in the refrigerator.
• A cool dry place allows your refrigerator to operate more efficiently so
keep the refrigerator away from stoves and other heat sources.

Instructions for Use
Maintenance and Cleaning
Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because the ice depositing on the inner
back wall is defrosted automatically.
Ice build-up on the inner back wall during the compressor operation; will (when
the compressor has cycled off) defrost automatically. Defrost water collects inside
the drain through passing through the drain outlet in the inner back wall into a
drain pan situated above the compressor, from where it evaporates.
Cleaning the Appliance
• Turn the temperature control to “OFF”, unplug the refrigerator, and
remove the contents.
• Wash the inside with a warm and baking soda solution. The solution
should be about 2 tablespoons to a quart of water.
• Wash the shelves and/or trays with a mild detergent solution.
• The outside of the refrigerator should be cleaned with mild detergent
and warm water.
• Dry the water collection tray located above the compressor in the back
of the unit. Once dry, place it back to its original position.
Switch Off the Appliance When Not in Use
If you do not intend to use the appliance for long periods of time, (vacations) set
the thermostat knob to the STOP (0) position, disconnect the power supply, take
out the foods and defrost and clean the appliance. Leave the door slightly open.

TEMPERATURE SELECTION
To start the refrigerator, turn the temperature control knob to the position
corresponding to the desired cooling (on the graduated blue dial)
Fig A
The refrigerator temperature will vary depending on the quantity of the food
stored and on the frequency with which the door is opened.
To turn the control to the “OFF” position, rotate the control knob to the “0”
position. If the refrigerator has been left out of use for some time, set the control
to maximum for 2-3 hours before turning to the desired position. If the
refrigerator is not being used for long periods of time, disconnect the plug and
leave the door partially open. This will help to reduce mold/ mildew from
accumulating inside the refrigerator cabinet.
Before Calling for Service:
• Check the plug and fuse.
• Test the outlet with a lamp
• Be sure the control is not set to OFF
• Read the manual, especially the items under the Use and Care sections.
