Installation Installation Location Before installing, carefully read the instruction in order to avoid a certain number of problems. Positioning Position the appliance away from sources of heat such as stoves, radiators, direct sunlight etc. Maximum performance and safety are guaranteed by maintaining the correct indoor temperature for the class of unit concerned, as specified on the rating plate. This application perform well from N to ST. The Appliance may not work properly if it is left for a longer period at a temperature above or below the indicated range. IMPORTANT! -There is a need of good ventilation around the fridge for easy dissipation of heat, high efficiency of refrig eration and low power consumption. For this purpose, sufficient clear space should be available around the fridge. It is advisable for there to be 75mm separating the back of the fridge to the wall, at least 100mm of space at its two sides, height of over 100mm from its top and a clear space upfront to allow the doors to open 160. Climate class SN N ST T Ambient temperature + 10 Cto + 32 C + 16 Cto + 32 C + 16 Cto + 38 C + 16 Cto + 43 C Appliances must not be exposed to rain. Sufficient air must be allowed to circulate in the lower rear section of appliances, as poor air circulation can affect performance.

Normally we advise you select setting of 2 or 3 or 4, if you want the temperature warmer or colder please turn the knob to lower or higher setting accordingly. When you turn the knob to lower which can lead to the more energy efficiency. Otherwise, it would result the energy-consuming. Important! High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on the temperature regulator (position 6 to 7) can cause the compressor to run continuously or even non-stop! Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must run continuously to maintain the low temperature in the appliance. Interior accessories Storage shelves / wire tray Various glass or plastic storage shelves or wire tray s are included with your appliance - different models have different combinations and different models have different quality.

Defrosting Why defrosting Water contained in food or getting into air inside the fridge be opening doors may form a layer pf frost inside. It will weaken the refrigeration when the frost is thick. While it is more than 10mm thick, you should defrost. Defrosting in fresh food storage compartment It is automatically controlled by switching the temperature regulator on or off so that there is no need of operation of defrosting. Water from defrosting will be drained into an drip tray through a drain pipe at the back of the fridge automatically. Defrosting in frozen-food storage compartment Defrosting in freezer chamber is operated manually. Be fore defrosting, take the food out; take the ice tray and drawers out or put them into the fresh food compartment temporarily, then set the knob of the temperature regulator to position 0 (where the compressor will stop working) and leave the door of the freezer open until ice and frost dissolve thoroughly and accumulation at the bottom of the freezer chamber. Wipe off the water with soft cloth. In t he case of speeding up the process of defrosting, you may put a bowl of warm water (about 50 ) into the freezer chamber, and scrape away the ice and frost with a defrosting spatula. After doing so, be sure to set the knob of the temperature regulator to the original position. It is not advisable to heat the freezer chamber directly with hot water or hair dryer while defrosting to avoid deformation of the inner case. It is also not advisable to scrape off ice and frost or separate food from the containers which have been congealed together with the food with sharp tools or wooden bars, so as not to damage the inner casing or the surface of the evaporator. Warning! Switching off the appliance. To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position 0. Important! The fridge should be defrosted at least every one month. During the using process, if the door was opened frequently or using the appliance in the extreme humidity, we advise the user to defrost every two weeks. If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period: Remove all refrigerated packages. Switch off the appliance by turning the temperature regulator to position 0. Remove the mains plug or switch off or disconnect the electricity supply. Clean thoroughly (see section: Cleaning and Care) Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odors. 15
Cleaning and Care For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly. The fridge should be cleaned and maintained at least every two months. Warning! The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Mois ture could accumulate in electrical components, danger of electrical shock! Hot vapors can lead to the damage of plastic parts. The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service. Important! Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or the juice from orange peel, butyric acid, cleanser that contain acetic acid. Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts. Do not use any abrasive cleansers. Remove the food from the refrigerator. Store it in a cool place, well covered. Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry. Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption. For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. Check the water drain hole on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment. Clear a blocked drain hole with the aid of something like soft green peg, be careful not to make any damage to the cabinet by sharp things. After everything is dry place appliance back into service. Energy Saving tips 1. Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first. Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent operation of the compressor. 2. In order to make the cooling system work efficiently, please make sure the side plates and back plate of the product are with some distance from the wall. It is strongly recommended that its back is 75mm away from the wall, its sides at least have a space of 100mm separately and the height from over its top is not less than 100mm. 3. When the product works, please do not open the door too often or leave the door open any longer than necessary. 16
4. Do not set temperature any colder than necessary. 5. The direct cooling refrigerator (with a freezer) needs to be defrosted when necessary. This will improve the cold transfer and reduce energy consumption. 6. The sketch map shows the right combination of the drawers, crisper and shelves which can lea d to the more energy efficiency. If users adjust the combination, it would result in the energy-consuming. 7. Store food logically. Do not exceed the storage period specified. Troubleshooting Correcting Malfunctions Spare parts: The following spare parts can be ordered from your local Service Center. You can fit these yourself without any special skill or training, e.g.: butter/cheese compartment, egg holders, door racks, fruit and vegetable drawers, storage racks. A malfunction may be caused by only a minor fault that you can rectify yourself using the following instructions. Do not perform any other work on the appliance if the following information does not provide assistance in your specific case. Important!
