Recommendations
• When there is no power, to prevent any damage to the compressor, you should unplug
the refrigerator. You should delay pluging in 5 – 10 minutes after power is restored.
• If you unplug the refrigerator for any reason you should wait at least 5 min to replug. This
will avoid damage to the refrigerator's components.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden at the rear of the appliance. Therefore,
water droplets or icing may form on the rear surface of your fridge due to the operation
of the compressor at specified intervals. This is normal, there is no need to perform a
defrosting operation unless the icing is excessive.
• If you do not intend to use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays), turn the
thermostat to the « • » position. After defrosting, clean your fridge and leave the door open
to prevent humidity and smells.
• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult
to the nearest Authorised Service Centre.
• The appliance you have purchased is designed for domestic use and can only be used
at home and for the stated purposes. It is not suitable for commercial or common use. If
the consumer uses the appliance in a way that does not comply with this, we emphasise
that the manufacturer and the dealer will not be responsible for any repair and failure
within the guarantee period.
Tips for saving energy
1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room , but not in direct sunlight and not
near a heat source (radiator, cooker ... etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3. Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise humidity
increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks
and other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.
4. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently
as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily
often.
5. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ... etc ) closed
6. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
