Unpacking

Location

• The appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperatures corresponding to its climate class (SN, N, ST, T).

Electrical Connection

1. Before plugging in, ensure the voltage and frequency match the rating plate.
2. Connect the appliance to a properly earthed socket.
3. Do not switch on the appliance immediately after transport. Allow it to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant fluid to settle.

5. Operating Instructions

Initial Start-up

1. Plug in the appliance.
2. Set the temperature control to a medium setting (e.g., '3' or '4' if it's a dial).
3. Allow the appliance to cool down for several hours (at least 4-6 hours) before placing food inside.

Temperature Control

The temperature inside the appliance is controlled by a thermostat. Higher numbers or colder settings typically mean lower temperatures. Adjust the setting based on ambient temperature and how often the door is opened.

Storing Food

• Refrigerator: Store fresh foods, dairy, fruits, and vegetables. Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator.
• Freezer: Suitable for freezing fresh food and storing pre-frozen food for long periods. Ensure food is properly wrapped to prevent freezer burn.
• Utilize the provided Ice Cube Tray for making ice.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and hygiene.

Cleaning the Interior

1. Unplug the appliance before cleaning.
2. Clean the interior with a solution of lukewarm water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
3. Wipe dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
4. Clean removable parts (shelves, drawers) separately.

Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.

Defrosting

This model features No Frost (NF) technology, which automatically prevents ice build-up in the freezer compartment, eliminating the need for manual defrosting of the freezer. The refrigerator compartment also typically defrosts automatically, with condensation running into a drip tray at the back.
