3. Setup
3.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the appliance for any shipping damage. Report any damage to your retailer immediately. Keep packaging materials out of reach of children.
3.2 Placement
Place the refrigerator on a firm, level surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., oven, radiator). Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliance. Allow at least 10 cm of space at the back and sides for proper air circulation.

3.3 Electrical Connection
Connect the appliance to a grounded power outlet with the correct voltage (230V). Do not use extension cords or adapters. Ensure the power cord is not trapped or damaged.
3.4 Initial Operation
After connecting to power, allow the appliance to stand for at least 4 hours before loading food. This allows the refrigerant to settle. The interior will then cool down to the set temperature.

4.1 Control Panel
The multifunction display on the exterior of the door allows you to monitor and adjust settings without opening the appliance. Use the sensor buttons to navigate through options.

4.2 Temperature Settings
Adjust the temperature for both the refrigerator and freezer compartments using the control panel. Recommended settings are typically 4°C (39°F) for the refrigerator and -18°C (0°F) for the freezer.
4.3 HarvestFresh Technology
The HarvestFresh drawer uses a 3-color light system (red, green, blue) to mimic the natural 24-hour sun cycle. This technology helps preserve the vitamin content of fruits and vegetables for longer periods.

4.4 NoFrost Dual Cooling
This system features independent cooling circuits for the refrigerator and freezer, preventing frost buildup and eliminating the need for manual defrosting. It also stops odors from mixing between compartments.
4.5 Vacation Mode
Activate Vacation Mode via the control panel when you are away for an extended period. In this mode, the refrigerator compartment operates at a higher, energy-saving temperature, while the freezer maintains its set temperature to keep frozen food preserved.
4.6 Chiller-Zone
The 18-liter Chiller-Zone drawer maintains a temperature just above freezing, ideal for storing fresh meat, fish, and dairy products to extend their shelf life.

5. Care and Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning the Interior
Unplug the appliance before cleaning. Use a soft cloth and a solution of mild soap and warm water to clean the interior surfaces. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
5.2 Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel surfaces, use a specialized stainless steel cleaner. Avoid getting water into electrical components.
5.3 Door Seal Maintenance
Regularly check and clean the door seals to ensure a tight seal. A damaged or dirty seal can lead to inefficient cooling and increased energy consumption.
5.4 Power Outage Information
In case of a power outage, keep the doors closed to maintain the internal temperature for as long as possible. Avoid opening the doors unnecessarily. Food in the freezer can remain frozen for several hours depending on the duration of the outage and how full the freezer is.
6. Troubleshooting
Before contacting customer service, refer to the following table for common issues and their solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance does not operate. | No power supply; plug not inserted correctly; fuse blown. | Check power connection; ensure plug is fully inserted; check household fuse box. |
