DISPOSAL
INSTALLING THE FRIDGE / FREEZER 
1. Allow an adequate space and install the fridge / freezer on a firm, level floor.
• If the appliance is not level, there may be unusual noises and poor cooling.
2. Clean the fridge / f reezer
• Wipe and clean the inside and outside of appliance with a damp cloth.
3. Plug the fridge / freezer into a wall socket used exclusively by this appliance.
• This appliance must be properly earthed.
4. Place the food in the fridge / freezer.
• It is recommended that you wait for the appliance to coolfor 3~4 hours before storing food in it.
5.  Keep 60 mm of space between the refrigerator and the back
wall.
• Insufficient space causes the noise of vibration, weakening of refrigerating power and the waste of electricity
6. The electrical plug must be accessible without moving the set.
7. For ambient temperature below 10ºC, the perfect performance of our refrigerator can not be achieved. Use of an earthed socket exclusively 
for the appliance: • If you are using a socket with an earthed terminal, you do not
require a separate earthed connection.
Use of a non-earthed socket: • Connect the “earthed wire” to the steel plate and bury it at depth of at least 25cm in the ground.
LEVELINGIf the front of the appliance is slightly higher than the rear, the
door can be opened and closed more easily.
1.  The appliance tilts down to the left.Turn the left adjusting leg in the
direction of the arr ow until the
appliance is level.
2. The appliance tilts down to the right.
Turn the right adjusting leg in the
direction of the arr ow until the
appliance is level.
PREPARING THE FRIDGE / FREEZER
To prepare your appliance for use and check that it is running correctly, take the following steps.
1. Install removed all shelves and compartments during transport in the correct positions.
2. Clean the fridge/free zer and accessories to remove any dust that accumulated during packing and shipping.
3. The interior light should be turned on when the refrigerator door’s opened. 
4. Set the temperature control to the coldest temperature and let
the refrigerator operate for one hour. The freezer should getslightly chilled and the motor should run smoothly with a soft
hum and no noise. Your fridge / freezer is operated by a
compressor which switches “on and off” to maintain the
internal temperature. When the compressor is new, it requires
running in for a period of up to five months. During thisperiod, it may be slightly noisy. This is quite normal and does
not represent a fault.
5. Store food once the temperature in the refrigerator is sufficiently low. It takes a few hours after starting the
refrigerator to reach the proper temperature.
If the appliance does not operate correctly, check the electricity supply. If the problem persists, contact your dealer.
