Brief introduction
Starting up and temperature regulation
• Insert the plug of the connection lead into the
plug socket with a protective grounding
contact.
• The temperature selector knob is located on
the LH side of the refrigerator compartment.
Setting “Off” means:
Off
Clockwise rotate the knob to turn on the appliance.
Setting “MIN” means:
Highest temperature, warmest setting.
Important!
• Normally we advise you select a setting of
MID, if you want the temperature warmer or
colder please turn the knob to lower or higher
Control panel
setting accordingly. When you turn the knob to a
lower setting, this can lead to more energy saving.
Otherwise, it would result high consumption of
energy.
• For optimum food preservation, a medium
setting is generally the most suitable.
Important! High ambient temperatures (e.g. on
hot summer days) and a cold setting (setting
max) may cause the compressor to run
continuously or even non-stop.
Reason: when the ambient temperature is high,
the compressor must run continuously to maintain
the low temperature in the appliance.
NOTE: High temperature setting will accelerate
food waste.
Brief introduction
Accessories
Movable shelves/trays
• Different models have different combinations
and quantities.
• The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be.
positioned as desired.

respect the following instructions:
• If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for
long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and
leave the door open to prevent mold developing
within the appliance.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
• Opening the door for long periods can cause
a significant increase of temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
• Clean regularly surfaces that can come in
contact with food and accessible drainage
systems.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers
in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with
or drip onto other food.

Brief introduction
Helpful hints and tips
Noises during Operation
The following noises are characteristic of
refrigeration appliances:
Clicks Whenever the compressor switches on or
off, a click can be heard.
Humming As soon as the compressor is in
operation, you can hear it humming.
Bubbling When refrigerant flows into thin tubes,
you can hear bubbling or splashing noises.
Splashing Even after the compressor has been
switched off, this noise can be heard for a short
time.
Energy saving tips
• Do not install the appliance near cookers,
radiators or other sources of warmth.
• Do not open the door too often or leave the
door open any longer than necessary.
• Do not set temperature colder than necessary.
• Make sure the side plates and back plate of
the appliance are with some distance from the
wall, follow the instructions relevant to installation.
• If sketch map shows the right combination of
the drawers, crisper and shelves, do not adjust
the combination, it would result in more energy-
consuming.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performances:
• Do not store warm foods or evaporating liquids
in the appliance.
• Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has
a strong flavor or odor.
• Position food so that air can circulate freely
around.
Hints for refrigeration
• Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and
place on the glass shelf . For safety, store in this
way only one or two days at the most.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.these should be
covered and may be placed on any shelf.
• Butter and cheese: these should be placed in
aluminum foil or polythene bags to exclude as
much air as possible.
• Milk bottles: these should have a cap and
should be stor
ed in the bottle rack on the door.
Brief introduction
Cleaning and Care
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior,
including interior accessories, should be cleaned
regularly.
The fridge should be cleaned and maintained at
least every two months.
Notice!
• Remove the food from the appliance before
cleaning. Store them in a cool place, well
covered.
• Never clean the appliance with a steam
cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical
components.
• Hot vapors can lead to the damage of plastic
parts.
• Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack
plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or the juice from
orange peel, butyric acid, cleanser that contain
acetic acid. Do not allow such substances to
come into contact with appliance parts.
• Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
• Clean the appliance and the int
erior
The appliance should not be connected to
the mains during cleaning. Before cleaning
switch the appliance off and remove the
plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out
the circuit breaker or fuse.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
16
accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water.
Commercially available dish washing detergents
may also be used.
• After cleaning wipe with fresh water and clean
dish cloth.
• Accumulation of dust at the condenser
increases energy consumption, clean the
condenser at the back of the appliance once a
year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.
• After everything is dry place appliance back
into service.
Defrosting
Why defrosting
• Water contained in food or getting into air
inside the fridge be opening doors may form a
frost layer inside. It will weaken the refrigeration
when the frost is thick. While it is more than 10mm
thick, you should defrost.
Defrosting in fresh food storage
compartment
• Power off the refrigerator,take out the stored ingredient,
open the refrigerator door. let the refrigerator stand for a
period of time, after the frost turns into water, dry the
water. close the refrigerator door and plug in the power.
Go out of use for a long time
• Remove all refrigerated packages.
• Switch off the appliance by turning the
temperature regulator to position “off”.
• Remove the mains plug or switch off or
disconnect the electricity supply.
• Clean thoroughly (see section: Cleaning and
Care).
• Leave the door open to avoid the build up of
odors.
