3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the appliance for any damage. Report any damage to your retailer immediately.

3.2 Placement

• Place the refrigerator on a firm, level surface.
• Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliance. Leave at least 10 cm of space at the back and sides for proper air circulation.
• Avoid placing the appliance in direct sunlight or near heat sources (e.g., ovens, radiators).
• Do not install in areas where the temperature is likely to fall below 10°C (50°F).

3.3 Door Reversal (Optional)

The door hinges can be reversed to open from the left or right, depending on your kitchen layout. This procedure should be performed by a qualified technician or by carefully following the detailed instructions provided in the full manual (not included here).

3.4 Initial Power-On

After positioning the appliance, wait at least 2-4 hours before plugging it into the power outlet. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Once plugged in, set the temperature control to the desired setting and allow the appliance to cool for several hours before loading food.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Temperature Control

The refrigerator features an internal temperature control system. Adjust the thermostat to your preferred setting. A medium setting is generally recommended for optimal food preservation and energy efficiency.

4.2 Multi Air Flow and Total No Frost

The Multi Air Flow system circulates cold air evenly, ensuring consistent temperatures throughout the refrigerator compartment. Combined with the Total No Frost technology, this prevents ice formation and maintains food quality without manual defrosting.

4.3 Crisper Box and Humidity Box

Utilize the dedicated Crisper Box and Humidity Box drawers for storing fruits and vegetables. These drawers are designed to maintain optimal humidity levels, extending the freshness of produce.

4.4 Door Alarm

The integrated door alarm will sound if the refrigerator door is left open for an extended period, helping to prevent temperature fluctuations and energy waste.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

5.1 Cleaning the Interior

Unplug the appliance before cleaning. Clean the interior regularly with a soft cloth dampened with a solution of lukewarm water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

5.2 Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel finishes, use a specialized stainless steel cleaner. Avoid getting water into electrical components.

5.3 Defrosting

This appliance features a Total No Frost system, meaning manual defrosting is not required for either the refrigerator or freezer compartments. If ice build-up occurs, it may indicate an issue with the door seal or excessive humidity introduction.

5.4 Power Outages

In case of a power outage, keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed to maintain the internal temperature for as long as possible. Avoid opening the doors unnecessarily.
