Safety Information

Always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.

• Electrical Safety: Ensure the appliance is connected to a properly grounded electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or adapters.
• Ventilation: Maintain adequate space around the appliance for proper air circulation to prevent overheating.
• Children Safety: Keep children away from packaging materials. Supervise children to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
• Flammable Materials: Do not store explosive substances or flammable materials inside or near the appliance.
• Disposal: Dispose of the appliance according to local regulations, paying attention to refrigerants and insulation materials.

Setup

Unpacking

Carefully remove all packaging materials, including tape and protective films. Inspect the appliance for any damage incurred during transit. Report any damage to your retailer immediately.

Placement

Choose a location that is dry, well-ventilated, and away from direct sunlight or heat sources (e.g., ovens, radiators). Ensure the ambient temperature is within the recommended range for optimal performance. Allow sufficient space around the appliance for proper air circulation, typically at least 10 cm (4 inches) at the back and sides, and 30 cm (12 inches) above.

The dimensions of the appliance are approximately 67 cm (depth) x 60 cm (width) x 190 cm (height).

Leveling

Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom front of the appliance to ensure it is stable and level. A level appliance prevents vibrations and ensures proper door sealing.

Electrical Connection

Before plugging in, ensure the voltage and frequency specified on the rating plate match your household power supply. Connect the appliance to a dedicated, properly grounded electrical outlet. Do not use multi-plugs or extension cords. Allow the appliance to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours before plugging it in to allow refrigerants to settle.

Operating Instructions

Control Panel and Temperature Settings

The appliance features an adjustable temperature control system. Refer to the internal control panel, typically located inside the refrigerator compartment or on the door, to set your desired temperature. The recommended temperature for the refrigerator compartment is usually between 2°C and 8°C, and for the freezer compartment, -18°C or colder.

My Zone Compartment

The My Zone compartment is a dedicated fresh zone designed to provide optimal storage conditions for specific food items. This compartment allows for flexible temperature control, enabling you to adjust it for different types of food, such as meat, fish, or vegetables, to extend their freshness.

Quick Cool Function

Activate the Quick Cool function when you need to rapidly cool down newly added groceries or beverages in the refrigerator compartment. This feature temporarily lowers the temperature to accelerate the cooling process. The function typically deactivates automatically after a set period or when the desired temperature is reached.

Defrost System

This refrigerator-freezer is equipped with an automatic defrost system for the refrigerator compartment, which prevents ice buildup. The freezer compartment also features a defrost function, which may be automatic or require periodic manual defrosting depending on the specific design. Consult the detailed instructions in your full user manual for specific defrosting procedures.

Maintenance

Cleaning

• Interior: Unplug the appliance before cleaning. Use a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent with warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
• Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel finishes, use a specialized stainless steel cleaner.
• Door Gaskets: Clean door gaskets regularly to ensure a tight seal and energy efficiency.

Power Outage

In case of a power outage, keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible to maintain the internal temperature. Food can remain safely stored for several hours depending on the duration of the outage and how well the doors are sealed.

Troubleshooting

Before contacting service, check the following common issues:

• Appliance not operating: Check if the power cord is properly plugged in and if the circuit breaker has tripped.
• Insufficient cooling: Ensure the temperature setting is correct, the door is fully closed, and there is adequate ventilation around the appliance. Avoid overloading the compartments.
• Unusual noises: Minor noises from the compressor or refrigerant circulation are normal. Check if the appliance is level and not touching a wall.
• Water on the floor: Check if the drain hole in the refrigerator compartment is clear and not blocked.

If problems persist after checking these points, please contact customer support.
