Operating Instructions

Temperature Control

The temperature control is electromechanical. Adjust the thermostat dial inside the refrigerator compartment to set the desired cooling level. Higher numbers typically indicate colder temperatures.

LED internal lighting illuminates the compartment. A fan is included to aid in air circulation.

Freezer Compartment

The freezer compartment includes 2 drawers and 1 ice container with a dedicated shelf. The freezer requires manual defrosting.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Clean the interior and exterior of the refrigerator regularly with a mild detergent and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the antibacterial gasket is clean to maintain hygiene and sealing efficiency.

Defrosting

• Refrigerator: The refrigerator compartment features automatic defrosting. Water from the defrosting process is collected and evaporated automatically.
• Freezer: The freezer compartment requires manual defrosting. When the ice layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm, turn off the appliance, remove all food, and allow the ice to melt naturally. Do not use sharp objects to remove ice.

Troubleshooting

If your refrigerator is not operating correctly, check the following common issues before contacting service.

• Appliance not cooling: Check if the power cord is properly plugged in and if the circuit breaker has tripped. Ensure the temperature control is set correctly.
• Excessive noise: Verify the appliance is level and not touching any walls or cabinets.
• Water on the floor: Check if the defrost water drain is blocked (refrigerator compartment) or if the freezer door is not sealing properly (manual defrost freezer).
• Food not freezing: Ensure the freezer door is closed completely and the temperature setting is appropriate. Avoid overloading the freezer.
