*Before Putting Into UsE* Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, leave it standing for about 2 hours, this will reduce the possibility of malfunctions in the cooling system due to transport handling. Clean the appliance thoroughly; especially in the interior (See Cleaning and Maintenance). Instructions for Use These instructions for use are intended for the user. They describe the appliance and the correct and safe way to use it.
IMPORTANT If you bought this appliance to replace an old one equipped with a lock that cannot be opened from inside (lock, bolt), make sure that the lock is broken. This will make it impossible for children to lock themselves inside the appliance and suffocate. The appliance must be correctly connected to the power supply. If the food has a strange smell or color throw it away because it is very likely that it is spoiled and therefore dangerous to eat.
PLACING AND INSTALLATION It is important to make sure the appliance is leveled evenly to prevent falling. Two spacers attached to the appliance must be fitted onto the upper edge of the condenser, thus preventing the appliance from being installed too close to the wall. Spacers are manufactured for all-purpose functions depending on the distance of the condenser from the wall. Therefore turn spacers correspondingly and adjust them accordingly to the appliance.
Operation control How To Adjust The Thermostat The refrigerator is controlled with a thermostat knob located inside unit, towards the right-hand corner. Turn the knob clockwise from the STOP (0) position toward higher numbers for colder temperatures. TEMPERATURE SELECTION The settings of the temperature control are from 0 (off) to 7 (max). Initially adjust the temperature control setting to 4 (norm), then adjust the thermostat to colder or warmer (as needed).
Storing Fresh Foods Foods to be stored in the refrigerator should be properly packed as to prevent mixing various moisture degrees and odors (in polyethylene bags or sheet, aluminum foil, wax paper, covered containers or bottles). Never store any inflammable, volatile or explosive substances. Beverages with high alcohol percentage shall be stored in tightly sealed bottles in a vertical position. Food should not touch the rear wall of the refrigerator.
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because the ice depositing on the inner back wall is defrosted automatically. Ice may deposit on the inner back wall during the compressor operation; later on when the compressor is not operating, the ice is defrosted and the water is collected and drained through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor where it is evaporated. Cleaning the Appliance Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the appliance.
Door swing reversal (Stainless steel models with towel bar handles do not have reversible doors.) If you find the direction of opening the door on your appliance inconvenient, you can change it. Holes on the opposite side have already been prepared at the factory 1. Remove the top hinge cover and hinge (on models with a tabletop, remove the bottom hinge instead). 2. Next remove the door and remove the bottom hinge. 3. Then remove the kick plate, slide it over to the opposite side and secure in place. 4.
Adjusting the Level legs The Professional units (those with a BI suffix in model number) have 4 adjustable level legs. By turning the legs counter-clockwise you can increase the height of the unit up to 34” inches high or you may decrease the height to about 33” inches by turning clockwise. On Non-Professional models, there are only two adjustable levels legs in the front of the unit. The two rear legs are stationary; it is not recommended that you adjust the front level legs.
Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall Possible Causes *The door does not seal well (clean the gasket if it is contaminated, or replace it if it is damaged). *The door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too long. *The food stored in the refrigerator was warm. Solution -As long as the defrost water runs through the channel, out of the opening and into the drain pan on the compressor, automatic defrosting of the appliance is assured.
. After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor and the refrigerant flow may be louder and this does not mean something is wrong with the appliance. The noise will reduce gradually. During the operation of the compressor, a liquid noise is heard and when the compressor is not operating a refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal condition and it has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance. Sometimes strong noises occur which are rather unusual for the appliance.
