reason, sufficient clear space should
be available around the refrigerator.
Ventilation of appliance
Suggest:
It is advisable for there to be 50-70mm
of space from the back to the wall, at
least 100mm from its top, at least
100mm from its side to the wall and a
clear space upfront to allow the freezer
door to open 135° and the refrigerator
door to open 135°.

Before you move your refrigerator into
its final location, it is important to make
sure you have the proper electrical
connection.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 220-240 volt, 50/60Hz(please refer to
nameplate), AC only 15- or 20-amp
fused, grounded electrical supply is
required. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only your
refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet
that cannot be turned off by a switch.
Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE:
Before performing any type of
installation or cleaning, disconnect the

NOTE:
Having someone push against the top
of the refrigerator takes some weight off
the leveling feet. This makes it easier to
turn the feet.
Level Refrigerator
(if needed)
The refrigerator must be level to
maintain optimal performance and
appearance.
1. Turn the leveling feet on the bottom,
front of the cabinet to raise or lower
that side of the refrigerator until the
refrigerator is level side to-side.
2. Turn both feet, by the same amount,
to slightly raise the front of the
refrigerator. This will make it easier for
the doors to close.
Rotate the adjustable feet clockwise to
raise or raise counter-clockwise to
lower your refrigerator. To make sure
that the doors close automatically, tilt
the top of your refrigerator backward
about 10mm to 15mm. If necessary,
use a spanner wrench to adjust the
feet.
Align Doors
(if needed)
Whenever you want to move the
appliance, remember to turn the feet
back up, so that the appliance can roll
freely. Reinstall the appliance when
relocating.

General Use Information
• When first turning on refrigerator after
a period of non-use, allow the
refrigerator to cool at least 2 hours
before adding food.
• Do not block air circulation vents with
stored items.
• Store items so that the air can
circulate freely around them.
• Cover or wrap stored food well to
avoid transfer of odors.
• Once defrosted, food quality will
deteriorate rapidly. Defrosted food
should not be refrozen.
• Neither bottled nor canned drinks
should be stored in the freezer
compartment. Bottles and cans may
explode.
• Ensure that bottles are not left in the
freezer for longer than needed as
freezing may cause the bottle break.
To avoid contamination of food, please
respect the following instructions:
• Opening the door for long periods can
cause a significant increase of the
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.
• Two-star frozen-food compartments
are suitable for storing pre-frozen
food, storing or making ice-cream
and making ice cubes.
• One-, two- and three-star
compartments are not suitable for the
freezing of fresh food.

Both the refrigerator and freezer
sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about
once a month to avoid buildup of
odors. Wipe up spills immediately. To
avoid odor transfer and drying out of
food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
Refrigerator Care
Cleaning
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion or fire.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
IMPORTANT:
• Do not use harsh chemicals,
ammonia, chlorine bleach,
concentrated detergent, solvents,
abrasives or metal scouring pads to
clean your refrigerator inside or out.
They can damage and/or discolor the
refrigerator finish.
• Do not use warm water to clean glass
shelves while they are still cold. Glass
may break when exposed to sudden
temperature changes or impact.
Exterior clean
To maintain good appearance of your
appliance, you should clean it regularly.
• Wipe the digital panel and display
panel with a clean, soft cloth.
• Spray water onto the cleaning cloth
instead of spraying directly on the
surface of the appliance. This helps
ensure an even distribution of
moisture to the surface.
• Clean the doors, handles and cabinet
surfaces with a mild detergent and
then wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use sharp objects as they
are likely to scratch the surface.
Do not use Thinner, Car detergent,
Clorox, ethereal oil, abrasive
cleansers or organic solvent such
as Benzene for cleaning. They may
damage the surface of the
appliance and may cause fire.
WARNING

Helpful hints and tips
We recommend that you follow the
tips to save energy.
Try to avoid keeping the door open for
long periods in order to conserve
energy.
Ensure the appliance is away from
any sources of heat (direct sunlight,
electric oven or cooker etc.)
Don't set the temperature colder than
necessary.
Don't store warm food or evaporating
liquid in the appliance.
Place the appliance in a well
ventilated, humidity free room. Please
refer to installing your new appliance
chapter.
The diagram shows the correct
combination for the drawers, crisper
and shelves. Do not adjust the
combination as this is designed to be
the most energy efficient
configuration.
Energy saving tips
Do not place hot food directly into the
refrigerator, the internal temperature
will increase resulting in the
compressor having to work harder
and will consume more energy.
Do cover or wrap the food,
particularly if it has a strong flavor.
Place food properly so that air can
circulate freely around it.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
Meat (All Types) Wrap in polythene
food:
Wrap and place on the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer. Always
follow food storage times and use by
dates suggested by manufacturers.
Cooked food, cold dishes, etc:
They should be covered and may be
placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables:
They should be stored in the special
drawer provided.
Butter and cheese:
Should be wrapped in airtight foil or
plastic film wrap.
Milk bottles:
Should have a lid and be stored in the
door racks.
Hints for refrigeration
When first starting-up or after a
period out of use, let the appliance
run at least 2 hours on the higher
settings before putting food in the
compartment.
Prepare food in small portions to
enable it to be rapidly and
completely frozen and to make it
possible to subsequently thaw only
the quantity required.
Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or
polyethylene food wraps which are
airtight.
Do not allow fresh frozen food to
touch the food which is already
frozen to avoid partially thawing the
frozen food.
Hints for freezing
33
Helpful hints and tips
Iced products, if consumed
immediately after removal from the
freezer compartment, will probably
cause frost burns to the skin.
It is recommended to label and date
each frozen package in order to keep
track of the storage time.
Ensure that frozen food has been
stored correctly by the food retailer .
Once defrosted, food will deteriorate
rapidly and should not be re-frozen.
Do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the food manufacturer.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
If the appliance needs to be switched
off for an extended period, the
following steps should be taken
prevent mould on the appliance.
1. Remove all food.
2. Remove the power plug from the
mains socket.
3. Clean and dry the interior
thoroughly.
4. Ensure that all the doors are
wedged open slightly to allow air to
circulate.
