Whenever possible, the back of the appliance should be close to a wall, but leaving the required distance for ventilation, as stated in the installation instructions. The appliance should be left for 2 hours after installation before it is turned on, in order to allow the refrigerant to settle.

Child Safety

Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play with the product. Keep packaging materials away from children, to prevent the risk of suffocation!

Safety precautions for isobutane Warning

The refrigerant isobutane (R 600a) is contained within the refrigerant circuit of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmental compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable. Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer. Do not damage the refrigerant circuit. Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance.

During Use

This appliance is designed for domestic use only, specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs. It is not intended for commercial or industrial use. Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures. Do not store any containers with flammable materials, such as spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc. in the appliance. Frozen food should not be refrozen once it has thawed out. Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer compartment. Ice lollies can cause 'frost/freezer burns' if consumed straight from the freezer. Do not remove items from the freezer compartment if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns. Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer compartment they can burst when the contents freeze. Manufacturers' recommended storage times should be adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.

Using the Appliance

This appliance is designed for domestic use only, specifically for the storage of edible food-

stuffs.

The appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperatures (surrounding air temperature) between 10 °C and 32 °C.

If these temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, the appliance will not operate correctly. Should the ambient temperatures be exceeded for long periods, the temperature in the freezer section will rise above -18 °C and food spoilage may occur.

Before Use

Remove all packaging and securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0,5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.

Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or

products containing alcohol.

Putting it into use

Place the accessories into the appliance then plug to the mains socket.

The thermostat knob is on the light box in the refrigerator. You can switch the appliance on and set the temperature with it by turning the knob clockwise.

The next paragraph will give instructions for setting.

)

To Start the Appliance

1. Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hrs after installation.

2. Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply.

3. The thermostat interrupts the cooling automatically for more or less time depending on the setting then restarts it assuring the required temperature.

The closer it is set to maximum position the colder it will be. When the thermostat knob is set to a medium position (between minimum and maximum), in the freezer a temperature colder than -18°C, in the refrigerator around +5°C can be reached. Setting it to a medium position is adequate for everyday use.

The temperature in the refrigerator is affected by not only the position of the thermostat but the ambient temperature, frequency of door openings and the quantity of food put into it etc.

In the maximum position - in case of increased

demand e.g. during heatwaves -the compressor may operate continually. This does not cause damages to the appliance.

4. Leave the appliance for approximately 2 hours for the

correct temperature to be reached before placing food inside.

Do not allow children to tamper with the controls

or play with the product.

The Refrigerator

Below is the recommended storage positions for various food types:

1. Ready-cooked foods, fresh meat, cold cuts.

2. Milk, dairy products.

3. Fruits, vegetables, salads.

4. Cheese, butter.

5. Eggs.

6. Yoghurt, sour cream.

7. Small bottles, drinks.

8. Large bottles, drinks.

Storage Shelves

The shelves in the refrigerator compartment are adjustable to allow for the storage of large items.

To re-arrange the shelves, open the door to 90°.

Storage Times

The storage chart at the end of the instruction book gives information on storage times in the refrigerator compartment. The storage times quoted are intended as a guide only.

Do not cover the shelves with paper or trays etc. as this will affect the air circulation within the refrigerator compartment.

Do not put hot foods in the refrigerator, allow hot foods to reach room temperature naturally before placing in the refrigerator.

Cover foods, or place in closed dishes before placing them in the refrigerator, this prevents any transference of food smells.
