GETTING YOUR APPLIANCE READY FOR USE NOTICE After the appliance has been delivered, leave it to stand in its upright position for approximately 3 hours, before plugging it into the mains and switching on, to ensure proper performance.

Ice trays This new ice tray is exclusive to us.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS - Install the Appliance Properly In other words, away from sources of heat and direct sunlight, in a well ventilated room. - Correct Temperature Settings Set the temperature control to one of the middle settings. Very cold temperature settings will not only consume a great deal of energy but will neither improve nor lengthen the storage life of the food. - Do not Overfill your Appliance Remember that proper storage of food requires good air circulation.
CARING FOR YOUR APPLIANCE Before doing any cleaning, turn off the green light and disconnect the appliance from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning off the general switch in your home). Cleaning and Special Maintenance Defrosting - Use a water and bicarbonate solution to clean the appliance. Clean the interior and exterior with a sponge soaked in warm water and a sodium bicarbonate solution, which is, among other things, a good disinfectant.
TROUBLESHOOTING Green Light is off. Check that: • The mains switch in your home is on. • There has not been a power cut. • The plug is properly inserted in the socket and is switched on. • The socket is working; try another appliance in the socket to check. • The fuse in the plug is ok - if not replace it, (see ELECTRICAL CONNECTION). The Red Light is always on. Check that: • The door is shut properly. • The seal is clean and not damaged. • The door has not been left open too long.
