OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
SWITCHING THE APPLIANCE ON
Starting up and temperature regulation
• Insert the plug of the connection lead into the plug socket with a protective
groundng contact.
• The temperature selector knob is located on the RH side of the refrigerator
compartment.
Setting “1” means: Highest temperature, warmest setting.
Setting “7” means: Lowest temperature, coldest setting.
6
EN
17
ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE
• Normally we advise you select a setting of 4, if you want the temperature
warmer or colder
please turn the knob to higher or lower setting accordingly. When you turn
the knob to a higher setting, this can lead to more energy saving. Otherwise, it
would result high consumption of energy.
• High temperature setting will accelerate food waste.
• For optimum food preservation, a medium setting is generally the most
suitable.
• High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting
(position 6 to 7) 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.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Energy saving tips
We recommend that you follow the tips below to save energy.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods.
• 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 liguid in the appliance.
• Place the appliance in a well ventilated, humidity free room. Please refer to
Instaling your new appliance chapter
• If the diagram shows the correct combination for the drawers, crisper and
shelves, do not adjust the combination as this designed to be the most energy
e cient confi guration.
Hints for freezing
• When fi rst staring-up or after a period out of use. Before putting the food in
the compartment, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to 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 (plastic) and make sure
that the packages are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food that is already frozen, thus
avoiding a rise in the temperature of latter.
• Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer
compartment can possibly cause skin to become freezer burnt.
• It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in order to keep
track of the storage time.
Hints for the storage of frozen food
• Make sure that commercially frozen food was stored by the retailer.
• Once defrosted, foods deteriorate rapidly and can not be re-frozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
Note: If the appliance contains related accessories and functions.

main power supply, switch o , or shut o the circuit breaker of fuse.
Notice!
• Remove the food from the appliance before cleaning. Store them in a cool
place and keep 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 an orange peel, butyric acid, or cleansers that contain acetic
acid.
• Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
• Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm
water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used.
• After cleaning, wipe with fresh water and a 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.(Only for the outside-condenser product)
• Check the water drain hole on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.
• Clear a blocked drain hole with the aid of something like soft green peg, an be

23
Defrosting
Defrosting in frozen food storage compartment
• Defrosting in the freezer chamber is operated manually. Before defrosting, take
the foot out.
• Tale the ice tray and drawers out or put them into the fresh food compartment
temporarily.
• leave the door of the refrigerator open until ice and frost dissolve thoroughly
and accumulate at the bottom of the freezer chamber. Wipe out the water
with soft cloth.
• In order to speed up the process of defrosting, you may put a bowl of warm
water (about 50°C) into the freezer chamber and scrape away the ice and
frost with a defrosting spatula. After doing so, be sure to set the knob of the
temperature regulator to the original position.
• It is not advisable to heat the freezer chamber directly with hot water or hair
dryer while defrosting to avoid deformation of the inner case.
• It is also not advisable to scrape o ice and frost or separate foods from the
containers which have been congealed together with the food with sharp tools
or wooden bars, so as not to damage the inner casing or the surface of the
evaporator.
Taking the appliance out of service
