Identification of Parts NOTE This is a basic model. The shape of refrigerator is subject to change.
Installation Location This appliance is suitable for using at ambient temperature between +16°C and +38°C. If the ambient temperature drops below +16°C, it is possible that the freezing foods in the freezer compartment are thawed because the temperature of the freezer gets warm. We recommend that the refrigerator be installed at a dry and well ventilated place. Make sure that the appliance is not exposed to direct sunlight or placed in vicinity of a heat source such as stove, heaters, radiator.
Installation Electrical connection This appliance should be connected to the mains AC 220~240V , 50 Hz. You must connect this appliance only to the power socket with grounding complying with the related regulations and only an approved expert should install this appliance. Operation Starting Before switching it on, leave the appliance standing for at least 2 hours, so that the circulation of the refrigerant stabilizes and no operating problems occur.
Suggestion on food storage Storing food Opening the door often or keeping the door opened a long time, increases the inside temperature. This causes the storage life and flavor of the foods to reduce, and increases the energy consumption. Do not touch deep-frozen foods with wet hands. You could get chilblains on your hands. NOTE Make sure foods that are not frozen do not touch the frozen foods. The frozen foods may melt.
Care and Maintenance Defrosting Defrosting the fridge compartment When the freezer is working, frost is formed at the rear wall of the fridge compartment and melts automatically when the compressor stops. Defrosting the freezer compartment Humidity forms frost or ice in the freezer compartment while the appliance is working or when the freezer door is opened. The thick ice and frost decrease cool air and increase the energy consumption.
Care and Maintenance Cleaning Always remove plugs or Switch off supply before cleaning. Do not use sharp objects (such as knife, screwdriver) which could break refrigerant circuit resulting in environmental and health risks. Never use steam cleaner or steam pressure cleaner since hot steam may damage refrigerator surface and electrical devices. Never use sand, abrasive detergent, acid or chemical solvent. • The freezer compartment should be cleaned at least once a month.
Care and Maintenance General information When you plan to be away for an extended period, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave the door OPEN to prevent odor formation. Going away Power failure Most power failures are corrected in an hour or two and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is OFF.
