							Installation
Location
This appliance is suitable for using at ambient
temperature between +16°C and +38 °C. If the ambient
temperature drops below +16 °C, it is possible that the
freezing foods in the freezer compartment are thawed
because the temperature of the freezer gets warm.
We recommend that the refrigerator be installed at a dry
and well ventilated place. Make sure that the appliance is
not exposed to direct sunlight or placed in vicinity of a
heat source such as stove, heaters, radiator. If it is
impossible, make use of an adequate plate (not asbestos)
or at least the following minimum distance must be
secured. 
from a Gas or electric cooker : 3cm
from oil or coal-fired stoves : 30cm
from another refrigerating appliance : 2cm

Suggestion on food storage
Storing food
Opening the door often or keeping the door opened a
long time, increases the inside temperature. This causes
the storage life and flavor of the foods to reduce, and
increases the energy consumption.
Make sure foods that are not frozen do not touch the
frozen foods. The frozen foods may melt.
The packing materials suitable for refrigerating the foods are
- Polyethylene bags, Plastic foil, freezing containers.
The suitable wrapping materials are
- Rubber band, Plastic clips, attaching tape, string.
Before sealing, get rid of air from packing bags and foil.
The remained air makes the storing foods dry.
You can freeze foods quickly when packing is level. Do
not store bottles in freezer compartment. They may
break when frozen.
NOTEDo not touch deep-frozen foods with wet hands. 
You could get chilblains on your hands.
Making Ice
To make ice cubes, fill ice
tray 3/4 full with water and
place it on the bottom of the
freezer compartment.
To remove ice cubes, hold the ice tray at its ends and
twist gently.
TipsTo remove ice cubes easily, run water on the tray
before twisting.

Care and Maintenance
Defrosting
Defrosting the fridge compartment
When the freezer is working, frost is formed at the
rear wall of the fridge compartment and melts
automatically when the compressor stops. 
Defrosting the freezer compartment
Humidity forms frost or ice in the freezer compartment
while the appliance is working or when the freezer door
is opened. The thick ice and frost decrease cool air and
increase the energy consumption. 
Defrost Ice Layer
If the freezer compartment is heavily iced, defrost as
follows.
- Remove the frozen food, wrap in newspaper and store
in a cool place.
- Leave the door open, and wipe out water with a
sponge.
- Dry the freezer compartment thoroughly, turn on the
appliance, and replace frozen foods.
Never place electrical devices in the refrigerator
for defrost.Take care when using defrosting sprays
for assisting defrosting. These sprays include
substances containing explosive gas, or harmful for
synthesis or human health.
NOTE
TipsIt is helpful to place a saucepan with hot water inside
of the freezing room in order to assist defrost.
