ALWAYS Cover and wrap foods, especially if they are 
PUNGENT. 
• DO NOT place paper or plastic on the shelves which would 
block the flow of air through the grids. 
 
NOTE: At the maximum cold setting, with a high outside (ambient) 
temperature and well-stocked (full or nearly full) compartments, the 
Fridge’s operation may be continuous, leading to the formation of 
some frost on the evaporator.  
 
 
 
 
Should this happen, the knob must be turned to a less cold 
position to allow automatic defrosting.  
This will also allow lower energy consumption.   
 
 
REMINDER:   You should regulate the temperature of your 
Fridge bearing the following in mind
: 
 
o Ambient temperature  
o How often the doors are opened and closed  
o Quantity of food stored in the compartments 
o Moisture content of what you place in your fridge 
o The location of your appliance 
 
 
IN CASE OF A BLACKOUT (GENERAL POWER FAILURE)  
In case of Power Failure, find out how long the electricity will be off.  If 
the failure is not going to be for any longer than 12 hours, leave the food 
in the freezer and keep the door closed. 
If the POWER FAILURE is going to last longer than 12 hours and some 
food defrosts, consume the latter as soon as possible.   
 
 
LONG ABSENCES (holidays, etc.):  In the case of long absences, 
the appliance must be switched off, emptied out completely, dried and 
the doors left open to prevent the formation of mould and unpleasant 
odours.

NOTE:  Before attempting to clean your appliance, UNPLUG IT and 
make sure you do the following: 
 
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CLEAN AND MAINTAIN YOUR 
REFRIGERATOR ONCE A MONTH. 
 
9 Pay particular attention to the sealing rubber bars of the doors.  These need to 
be kept clean for hygienic reasons as well as to allow the door to close 
properly. 
9 Leave the door open during cleaning. 
9 In order to collect the defrosted water, take out the bottom drawer and soak 
up the water using a sponge as shown in the figure pictured below. 
  
9 Clean the inside of your Fridge using a solution of soda bicarbonate 
in warm water (1 tablespoon Bicarbonate to 2 litres of water).  
9 Clean the condenser (back of unit) with a broom once a year. 
 
             NEVER USE SOLVENTS TO CLEAN THE INSIDE OF YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER.  
               
 
 
Find the lamp housing in 
the top right of the 
refrigerator’s interior. 
 
Gently move the 
transparent lamp cover 
plate from the lamp cradle. 
 
Unscrew the bulb and replace 
with a new one, maximum 
(10W).  
 
 
 
 
 
 
HOW TO CLEAN THE CONDENSER –  
 
The condenser consists of the coil structure at the 
back of the refrigerator.  Over time, it may gather a 
large amount of dust.  
 
(SEE NEXT PAGE FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON CLEANING)   
 
MAINTENANCE  FROM TIME TO TIME, YOU WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE 
 INTERNAL BULB.  REMEMBER TO UNPLUG YOU APPLIANCE FIRST

DEFROSTING 
 
Defrosting occurs fully automatically in the 
refrigerator compartment during normal operation.  
The defrosted water collected by the evaporating tray 
evaporates automatically. 
 
However, you will have to manually defrost the 
freezing compartment (icebox) when the frost 
and ice layer coating its interior is 3-5mm. 
 
You do this by: 
 
1) Turning the 
thermostat knob 
to the STOP (0) 
position and 
disconnecting the 
power supply. 
 
2) Emptying the 
icebox, taking care 
that the packages 
remain frozen by 
wrapping them 
properly. 
 3) Mopping up melted 
water from the 
bottom of the 
appliance with a 
cloth. 
  
 
Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause 
damage to the plastic parts and may be hazardous to 
health.  
 
 
NOTE
:  The evaporating tray & water 
drain hole should be cleaned 
periodically with a plastic straw to 
prevent water from collecting on 
the bottom of the refrigerator 
instead of flowing out.

TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVINGS 
 
9 Try not to open the door too often, especially when 
the weather is wet and hot.  Once you open the 
door, be sure to close it as soon as possible. 
 
9 Use higher thermostat settings only if essential 
and not for constant, long-term use. 
 
9 Before loading the appliance with packages of 
fresh foods, ensure they are cooled to an ambient 
temperature (except in the case of soup). 
 
9 Ice and frost layering will increase energy 
consumption, so defrost & clean the appliance as 
soon as the layer is 3-5mm thick in your icebox. 
 
9 If the door seal (gasket) is damaged, the energy 
consumption will be much higher.  To keep the 
sealing in good condition, be sure not to spill oils 
or fats on it.  A damaged seal will need to be 
replaced. Make sure that if you have reversed the 
door, you fluff out the crushed side of the seal with 
a hairdryer before reinserting it. 
 
9 The condenser at the back of the appliance must 
always be clean and free of excessive dust. 
 
 
REMINDER: 
 
You will be alerted to the presence of excessive amounts of 
dust on the condenser by a sound alarm 
 
 Upon hearing this alarm, you should:  
• Check the air circulation through the bottom rail 
openings. 
 
• If necessary, clean or vacuum the dust from the 
condenser.  See the instructions on the next page.

1) Ensure that you are going to be 
placing your fridge away from heat 
sources and in a well-ventilated position.  
This should be at least 3 cm away from electric stoves and 30 cm from oil or 
coal stoves.  Do not place the appliance 
in the path of direct sunlight. 
 
 
2) After removing the rear wall of the cabinet, push the appliance into the 
kitchen unit’s space and allow at least 4mm free space on both sides between 
the appliance and the side walls of the kitchen unit (Fig.1, at right). Allow 38mm 
space between back of the fridge and the wall.
