LEVELLING
If the refrigerator is not leveled during installation.The doors may not close or seal properly, which causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems. It is very important for the refrigerator to be leveled in order to function properly.To level your refrigerator you may either turn the level leg clockwise to raise that side of the refrigerator or turn counter-clockwise to lower that side. To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for 200mm space on each side between walls 200mm space between back of your refrigerator and the wall, and 300mm space between the counter top and the top of the appliance.If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave sufficient space on the hinge side to allow for the door to swing openNever install your refrigerator near a heat source or in direct sunlight.
STARTING TO USE
Before you starting to use the freezer, please check that:
- The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear.
- Clean the interior as recommended under “TAKE CARE” section (electric parts of the refrigerator can only be wiped by dry cloth).
- Do not switch on until 2 hours after moving the fridge/freezer. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
- Before connecting the Refrigerator to the mains supply position. The thermostat control dias is located inside the Fridge compartment.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT
WARNING!DO NOT REMOVE EARTH CABLEDO NOT USE AN ADAPTORDO NOT USE EXTENSION CORD
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection. Recommended Earthing Method
A 220~240 Volt/50 Hz AC only 10 ampere fused and properly earthed electrical supply is required. it is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. Use a socket that ideally cannot be turned off with a switch or pull chain, Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, connect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control to the desired setting.
APPLIANCE OPERATION
To obtain the best possible results from your freezer, it is important that you operate it properly.Temperature Control
Controls for the freezer are located at the top of the outside cabinet. When you first install your freezer, set the Thermostat dial at 7. Give your freezer time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before adding foodThe thermostat dial controls the temperature. The higher the number setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder.The setting of “3” should be appropriate for home or office use.
PROLONGED OFF PERIODS
If the refrigerator is not used for a long period of time, proceed as follows:Disconnect the refrigerator from the main supply by removing the plug from the wall socket Clean and dry the inside as instructed under the heading of Before Using Your RefrigeratorLeave the door open to prevent any unpleasant smells from building up while the refrigerator is not in use.
ENERGY SAVING
For better energy-saving we suggest:
- Installing the appliance away from heat sources and not exposed to direct sunlight and in a well-ventilated room.
- Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator to avoid increasing the internal temperature and therefore causing continuous functionalizing of the compressor.
- Do not excessively stuff foods so as to ensure proper air circulation.
- Defrost the appliance in case there is ice to facilitate the transfer of cold.
- In case of absence of electrical energy, it is advisable to keep the refrigerator door closed.
- Open or keep the doors of the appliance open as little as possible.
- Avoid adjusting the setting to temperatures too cold.
- Remove dust present on the rear of the appliance.
TAKE CARE
DefrostingDefrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 5 mm has formed.Alternatively, you may switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. Extract the water conduit and put in a water container.As a temporary measure, this frost should be scraped away using a plastic scraper. NEVER use a metal or sharp instrument. This should be carried out if the frost build-up cannot be scraped away, or if it begins to interfere with the food storage. Chose a time when the stock of frozen food is low and proceed as follow:
1. Take out the frozen food, turn the Refrigerator off at the mains supply and leave the doors open. Ideally, the frozen food should be put into another Fridge/Freezer or refrigerator. If this is not possible wrap the food, firstly in several sheets of newspaper or large towels and then in a thick rug or blanket and keep it in a cool place.
2. Scrape away as much frost build-up as possible using the plastic scraper. To accelerate the thawing process place bowls of hot water inside the Fridge/Freezer cabinet. As the solid frost loosens, prize it away with the plastic scraper and remove it.3. When defrosting is completed, clean your Fridge/Freezer as described.
Cleaning and Care
After defrosting you should clean the Fridge/Freezer internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets in warm soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before replacing in the Fridge/Freezer.Condensation will form on the back wall of the Fridge; however, it will normally run down the back wall and into the drain hole behind the salad bin.The drain hole will have a “cleaning spike” inserted into it. This ensures that small pieces off food can not enter the drain. After you have cleaned the inside of your Fridge and removed any food residues from around the whole, use the “cleaning spike” to make sure that there are no blockages. Use standard furniture polish to clean the Fridge/Freezer exterior. Make sure that the doors are closed to prevent polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside. The grille of the condenser at the back of the Fridge/Freezer and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment. Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the Fridge/Freezer.
