TURNING YOUR FRIDGEFREEZER ON FOR THE FIRST TIME • • 7 Once you have installed your fridge-freezer and plugged it in, you will need to understand how the CONTROL PANEL works in order to set the temperature you want your appliance to operate at. Please familiarise yourself with the control panel which can be found at the top of the unit.
KEY This mode will engage if you fill the fridge with too much food at once or if you open the door too frequently. SPEED MODE will then start automatically to maintain the optimal temperature. The Optimal Sensor in the top centre of the panel senses the amount of light surrounding the refrigerator. Whenever this sensor detects darkness (at night) the Silent Mode will engage so that the appliance makes less working noise. CAUTION – DO NOT COVER the sensor with anything (magnets, papers, etc.).

Add some ice cubes to the water or wait until the water becomes cold once again before obtaining water from your appliance. NOTE: o About 10 ice cubes a day (7-8 times daily) are made at one time. If the ice storage tray becomes full, ice making will stop. o The icemaker will make banging noises when ice cubes fall into the ice storage case. THIS IS NORMAL.
FROST FREE FEATURE IMPORTANT NOTE: Both your fridge and freezer are FROST FREE. This means that you will NEVER HAVE TO DEFROST either your refrigerator or your freezer. ¾ Your appliance will prevent frost from forming anywhere in the appliance. ¾ Although this feature virtually guarantees a frostless environment, you should still be careful NOT to expose the interior of the appliance to excessive amounts of humidity. REMINDER: Allow the unit time to settle after delivery.
ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER Refrigerator Compartment: • To reduce humidity and the consequent increase of frost, NEVER place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporator.

ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER Freezer Compartment • • Your freezer’s primary function is to allow you to store deep-frozen or frozen foods for long periods of time, and to make ice cubes. DO NOT PUT SEALED CONTAINERS LIKE BOTTLES IN THE FREEZER. • DO NOT PUT WARM FOOD INTO THE FREEZER. • DO NOT PUT FRESH OR WARMISH FOOD WITH FROZEN FOOD SIDE-BY-SIDE AS THE FORMER CAN THAW THE LATTER AND CAUSE SPOILAGE. • While freezing large quantities of fresh food (meat, fish, mincemeat, etc.
DEODORIZER • This refrigerator is equipped with a deodorizer that traps and breaks down unpleasant smells, thus keeping the air in the refrigeration compartment fresh. • This deodorization system is located in the cooling air passage in the wall of the refrigeration compartment. NOTE: To ensure maximum deodorizing performance, wrap foods and foodstuffs that emit powerful odour in plastic wrapping film. NOTE: Be careful where you store your appliance.
