CHAPTER -1: GENERAL WARNINGS
Installation Information
Before unpacking and manoeuvring your fridge freezer please take some time to familiarise yourself with the following
points.
• Position away from direct sunlight and away from any heat source such as a radiator.
• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, Gas ovens and heater cores, and should be at least
5 cm away from electrical ovens.
• Do not expose your fridge freezer to moisture or rain.
• Your fridge freezer should be positioned at least 20mm away from another freezer.
• Clearance of at least 150 mm is required at the top of your appliance. Do not place anything on top of your
appliance.
• For safe operation it is important that your fridge freezer is safe and balanced. The adjustable feet are used to
level your fridge freezer. Make sure that your appliance is level before placing any foodstuffs
inside it.
• We recommend that you wipe all shelving and trays with a cloth soaked in warm water mixed
with a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda before use. After cleaning rinse with warm water and
dry.
• Install using the plastic distance guides, which can be found at the rear of the appliance. Turn
90 degrees (as shown in the diagram). This will keep the condenser from touching the wall.
• Refrigerator should be placed against a wall with a free distance not exceeding 75 mm.
Before Using your Fridge
• Before setting up your fridge freezer, check for any visible damage. Do not install or use your fridge
freezer if it is damaged
• When using your fridge freezer for the first time, keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before
plugging into the mains. This will allow efficient operation and prevents damage to the compressor.
• You may notice a light odour when using your fridge freezer for the first time. This is perfectly normal and
will fade away as the fridge starts to cool.
Information about new-generation cooling technology
Fridge freezers with new-generation cooling technology have a different working system than static
fridge freezers. In normal fridge freezers, humid air entering the freezer and the water vapour
emanating from the foods, turns into frost in the freezer compartment. In order to melt this frost, in
other words defrost, the fridge has to be unplugged. In order to keep foods cold during the defrosting
period, the user must store the food elsewhere and the user must clear the remaining ice and
accumulated frost.
The situation is completely different in freezer compartments equipped with new-generation cooling
technology. With the aid of fan, cold and dry air is blown throughout the freezer compartment. As a
result of the cold air that is blown easily throughout the compartment – even in the spaces between
shelves – foods are frozen equally and properly. And there will be no frost.
The configuration in the refrigerator compartment will be nearly same as the freezer compartment.
Air emitted by the fan located at the top of refrigerator compartment is cooled while passing through
the gap behind the air duct. At the same time, air is blown out through the holes on the air duct so
that cooling process is successfully completed in the refrigerator compartment. Holes on the air duct
are designed for even air distribution throughout the compartment.
Since no air passes between the freezer and refrigerator compartment, odours will not mix.
As a result, your fridge with new-generation cooling technology is easy to use and it offers you an
access to a huge volume and aesthetic appearance.
