before the first use

Before using the appliance for the first time, you should proceed as follows: carefully unpack the appliance and remove all
packaging material and any promotional stickers. Keep the packaging (plastic bags, polystyrene and cardboard) out of the
reach of children. After unpacking the appliance, check it for external damage that may have occurred during transport.
Place the appliance on a sturdy, flat surface and make sure there is enough space all around for sufficient ventilation. A
minimum space of 10 cm is required between the appliance and the surrounding walls. In this way the appliance is able
to release heat properly, cool well and function in an energy efficient way. You can use the adjustable feet to level the
appliance. Do not place the appliance near heat sources such as central heating or a stove. Do take note of the climate class
of the appliance. When placed in a room that is too cold, the refrigerator will not function properly.
After placing the appliance, leave it for at least 3 hours before inserting the plug in the socket.
First clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm soapy water with, for instance, washing-up liquid, all-purpose cleaner or
soda. Wipe the inside of the appliance after cleaning with clean water and properly wipe everything dry. Leave the appliance
to dry for 1 to 2 hours.

usage

The control unit of the appliance is located on the inside. Check that the thermostat is off in position 0. Check that the
voltage corresponds with what is stated on the information plate and insert the plug in the socket.
Adjusting the temperature
By means of the thermostat you are able to change the temperature in the refrigerator. The possible positions of
the thermostat:
Switch off appliance – position 0
Maximum temperature – position 1 (least cold)
Optimum temperature – positions 2-5
Minimum temperature – position 7 (coldest)
Set the temperature with the thermostat and select a position between 1 and 7. We recommend setting the appliance to
position 4. The appliance will now cool continuously until the set temperature has been reached. Allow the appliance to
reach the required temperature with no food. Usually this will take 2 to 3 hours. After that, you can set the thermostat to the
required position and fill the appliance with food.
Only use highest position 6 for making ice cubes, or at the beginning when placing new frozen products in the freezer
section.
Internal temperature of the refrigerator
Adjusting the temperature to the changing seasons is not recommended. The increase in ambient temperature is detected
by the sensor and the compressor will automatically work longer to maintain the required internal temperature.
Minor changes in temperature
Minor changes in temperature are normal and can be caused by storing a large number of fresh products in the freezer, or
by leaving the door open for a longer period of time. The food is not affected, and the temperature quickly returns to the
normal value.
Set the thermostat to position 0 to switch off the appliance.
Attention:
The ambient temperature, the frequency of opening the door and the position of the appliance have an effect on the
temperature in the appliance. Take this into account when setting the thermostat.
• Do not place hot food in the appliance.
• You should never place hazardous, highly flammable or explosive substances such as alcohol, acetone or petrol in the
appliance, because there will be a hazard of explosion.
• Carefully package meat and fish to prevent unpleasant smells.
• Leave sufficient space between the different foods, to allow the air to circulate properly.
• Do not place food against the rear wall of the appliance. The shelves have a stopper to prevent this.
• Do not leave the door open for longer than necessary.
