Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer: Take off the doors. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside. In the event of an electric short circuit, grounding (earthing) reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. In order to prevent possible electric shock, this appliance must be grounded. Improper use of the grounding plug can result in an electric shock. Grounding (Earthing) Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you have doubts on whether the appliance is properly grounded. w Warning w Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction. w Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer. w Do not damage the refrigerant circuit. w Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer. w The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require special disposal procedures. At disposal, please consult with service agent or a similarly qualified person. 5 Identification of Parts NOTE This is a basic model. The shape of refrigerator is subject to change. 7 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. If it is impossible, make use of an adequate plate (not asbestos) or at least the following minimum distance must be secured. from a Gas or electric cooker : 3cm from oil or coal-fired stoves : 30cm from another refrigerating appliance : 2cm NOTE Place on a flat and firm flooring. If the floor is not even, adjust the feet by using the leveling screw at the front edge of the cabinet. If the front is slightly higher than the rear, the door can close more easily. 8 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.

This causes the storage life and flavor of the foods to reduce, and increases the energy consumption. NOTE Do not touch deep-frozen foods with wet hands. You could get chilblains on your hands. Make sure foods that are not frozen do not touch the frozen foods. The frozen foods may melt. The packing materials suitable for refrigerating the foods are - Polyethylene bags, Plastic foil, freezing containers. The suitable wrapping materials are - Rubber band, Plastic clips, attaching tape, string. Before sealing, get rid of air from packing bags and foil. The remained air makes the storing foods dry. You can freeze foods quickly when packing is level. Do not store bottles in freezer compartment. They may break when frozen. Making Ice To make ice cubes, fill ice tray 3/4 full with water and place it on the bottom of the freezer compartment. To remove ice cubes, hold the ice tray at its ends and twist gently. To remove ice cubes easily, run water on the tray before twisting. s Tip 10 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. Defrost Ice Layer If the freezer compartment is heavily iced, defrost as follows. - Remove the frozen food, wrap in newspaper and store in a cool place. - Leave the door open, and wipe out water with a sponge. - Dry the freezer compartment thoroughly, turn on the appliance, and replace frozen foods. Tip It is helpful to place a saucepan with hot water inside of the freezing room in order to assist defrost. NOTE Never place electrical devices in the refrigerator for defrost. Take care when using defrosting sprays for assisting defrosting. These sprays include substances containing explosive gas, or harmful for synthesis or human health. s 11 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. • The most appropriate time for cleaning of the freezer compartment is a time after defrosting. Warning • Clean refrigerator including inside devices with clothes or lukewarm water. You may use commercial detergent for tableware. • Frequently clean the water drain inlet on the inside rear side of refrigerator. Clean the drain inlet using objects like a toothpick so that the drain inlet is not clogged. Care should be taken so that cleaning water does not overflows in the drain tub. Regularly clean the heat exchanger on the rear side of refrigerator using a smooth brush so that accumulations of dusts and residues. Do not disrupt expansion from the inside and cause increased energy consumption. Any damage to the heat exchanger or other events leading to the exposure of the refrigerant to the environment, should be avoided because of potential environment and health risks. 12 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. During power failures of longer duration, place a block of dry ice on top of your frozen packages. If you move Remove all items inside the refrigerator or securely fasten all loose items. To avoid damaging the leveling screw, turn them all the way into the base. • The Anti-condensation pipe is installed around the front side of fridge-freezer to prevent dewing. Anti-condensation pipe • Especially after installation or when ambient temperature is high, the fridge-freezer may feel hot, which is quite normal. 13 Anti-Condensation Pipe Care and Maintenance Tips for saving Energy - After moving the appliance, allow 2 hours to turn on again. - Do not place the appliance near radiator, stove, and heat sources. If ambient temperature is high, the compressor will run longer. - Place the appliance on a cool and well ventilated room. Do not expose to direct sunlight. - Do not keep the door opened too long. - Do not place warm food and beverages in appliance. Please cool down first otherwise the steam from hot foodstuffs would contribute to the icing up of the evaporator unit; and the cooling period should be as short as possible, for health and hygiene reasons. - Do not set the temperature of appliance lower than needed. - Place the deep-frozen foods for thawing into the fridge. They can be used for cooling the fridge. - Replace magnetic door gasket of the door if it is not properly functioning. 14 Trouble Shooting Before calling for service, check this list.
