Leveling feet
To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled.
If required, adjust the leveling screws to compensate for the uneven floor.
The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing.
Leveling screws can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly.
Turn the leveling screws counterclockwise to raise the unit, clockwise to
lower it.
Connecting the appliance
After installing the appliance, connect the power plug into a socket outlet.
ATTENTION
After connecting the power supply cord (or plug) to the outlet, wait 2 or 3 hours before you
put food into the appliance. If you add food before the appliance has cooled completely, your
food may spoil.
Tips for energy saving
• Do not place the appliance near cookers, radiators or other heat sources. If the
ambient temperature is high, the compressor will run more frequently and for longer,
resulting in increased energy consumption.
• Ensure that there is sucient ventilation at the base of the appliance, on the sides of
the appliance and at the back of the appliance. Never cover ventilation openings.
• Please also observe the spacing dimensions in the chapter “Installation”.
• The arrangement of drawers, shelves and racks as shown in the illustration oers the
most ecient use of energy and should therefore be retained as far as possible. All
drawers and shelves should remain in the appliance to keep the temperature stable
and save energy.
• To obtain a larger storage space (e.g. for large refrigerated/frozen goods), the
middle drawers can be removed. The top and bottom drawers and shelves should be
removed last if necessary.
• An evenly filled refrigerator/freezer compartment contributes to optimal energy use.
Therefore, avoid empty or half-empty compartments.
• Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the refrigerator/freezer. Food that has
already cooled down increases energy eciency.
• Allow frozen food to defrost in the refrigerator. The coldness of the frozen food
reduces the energy consumption in the refrigerator compartment and thus increases
the energy eciency.
• Open the door only as briefly as necessary to minimize cold loss. Opening the door
briefly and closing it properly reduces energy consumption.
• The door seals of your appliance must be perfectly intact so that the doors close
properly and energy consumption is not increased unnecessarily.

Tips on storing food
Freezer compartment
• The freezer is designated for the storage of food frozen at very low temperature,
long-term storage of frozen food, and for the production of ice.
• Only use the shelves in the door of the freezer to store frozen food, not for storing
hot food designated for freezing.
• Do not put fresh and frozen food next to each other. The frozen food may thaw.
• When freezing fresh food (such as meat, fish or chopped meat), cut them into parts
that can be used at the same time.
• Storing frozen food: instructions are usually stated on the packages, which must be
followed. If there is no information on the packaging, food should not be stored for
longer than three months from the date of purchase.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it was frozen at a suitable temperature
and that the packaging is not damaged.
• Frozen food should be kept in suitable packages to retain the quality and should be
returned to the freezer compartment as soon as possible.
• If a package of frozen food shows moisture or abnormal bulging, it is probable that
it was stored at the wrong temperature and the content is spoiled.
• The storage period for frozen food depends on the room temperature, the
thermostat setting, the frequency of opening the door of the freezer, the type of
food and the time of transporting the product from the shop to the household.
Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the
maximum storage time stated on the package.
Cooling compartment
• To reduce moisture and subsequent ice build-up, never put liquid into the
refrigerator in unsealed containers. Frost tends to concentrate in the coolest parts
of the evaporator. Storing uncovered liquids results in a more frequent need for
defrosting.
• Never put warm foods in the refrigerator. These should first cool down at room
temperature and then be placed so as to ensure adequate air circulation in the
refrigerator.
• Foods or food containers should not touch the back wall of the refrigerator because
they could freeze to the wall. Do not keep regularly opening the door of the
refrigerator.
• Meat and clean fish (packed in a package or plastic foil) can be placed in the
refrigerator, which can be used in 1–2 days.
• Fruit and vegetables without packaging can be placed in the part designated for
fresh fruit and vegetables.
ATTENTION
The optimal temperature setting of each compartment depends on the ambient temperature.
Above optimal temperature is based on the ambient temperature of 25 °C.

13
EN
Problem Possible reason
Door seal fails to be
tight
• Remove foreign matters on the door seal
• Heat the door seal and then cool it for restoration (or blow it
with an electrical drier or use a hot towel for heating)
Water pan overflows
• There is too much food in the chamber or food stored
contains too much water,resulting in heavy defrosting
• The doors are not closed properly, resulting in frosting due to
entry of air and increased water due to defrosting
Hot housing
• Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing,
which is normal when housing becomes hot due to high
ambient temperature, storage of too much food or shutdown
of the compressor is shut down, provide sound ventilation to
facilitate heat dissipation
Surface
condensation
• Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of the
refrigerator is normal when the ambient humidity is too high.
Just wipe the condensate with a clean towel.
Abnormal noise
• Buzz: The compressor may produce buzzes during operation,
and the buzzes are loud particularly upon start or stop. This is
normal.
• Creak: Refrigerant flowing inside of the appliance may
produce creak, which is normal.

Coldest zone in the refrigerator
OPTIONAL: OK-temperature indicator
• The OK-temperature indicator can be used to determine temperatures below
+4°C. Gradually reduce the temperature if the sign does not indicate “OK”.
• To ensure the temperature in this area, do not change the positioning of the
shelf. Inforced air refrigerators (equipped with a fan or No Frost models),the
symbol of the coldest zone is not represented because the temperature inside
is homogeneous.
Temperature indicator setting
• To help you set your refrigerator well, it is equipped with a temperature
indicator that will monitor the average temperature in the coldest zone.
• WARNING:This indicator is intended to work only with your refrigerator, do not use
it in another refrigerator (in fact, the coldest zone is not the same), or for any other
use.
Checking the temperature in the coldest zone
• With the temperature indicator, you can check regularly that the temperature of
the coldest zone is correct. Indeed, the internal temperature of the refrigerator
depends on several factors such as the ambient temperature of the room, the
amount of food stored and the frequency of door opening. Take these factors
into consideration when setting the device.
• When the indicator shows « OK », this means that your thermostat is well
adjusted and the internal temperature correct.
• If the indicator of temperature turns WHITE, this means that the temperature is
too high; in this case, increase the refrigerator temperature control setting and
wait for 12 hours before performing a new visual inspection of the indicator.
When fresh food has been introduced or the door has been left open, it is
possible for the indicator of temperature to turn WHITE after a while.
