Before operating your refrigerator Before starting to use your refrigerator check the following: 1. Is the interior of the refrigerator dry and can the air circulate freely in the rear of it? 3. Clean the interior of the refrigerator as recommended in the “Maintenance and cleaning” section. When the fridge door is open, the fridge compartment interior light will come on. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, even if the compressor is not running and this is quite normal. These areas are designed to be warm to avoid condensation. 9 EN Electric connection Connect your product to a grounded socket which is being protected by a fuse with the appropriate capacity. Important: • The connection must be in compliance with national regulations. • The power cable plug must be easily accessible after installation. • Please make sure that the interior of your refrigerator is cleaned thoroughly. • If two refrigerators are to be installed side by side, there should be at least 2 cm distance between them. • When you operate your refrigerator for the first time, please observe the following instructions during the initial six hours. Thermostat knob The thermostat knob is located on the indicator light frame. Important: When you press the fast-freeze switch or adjust the set temperature, there may be a short delay before the compressor starts to operate. This is normal and not a compressor fault. Freezing Freezing food You can use the appliance for freezing fresh food as well as for storing prefrozen food. Please refer to the recommendations given on the packaging of your food. • Attention Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the bottle may burst when the liquid in it is frozen. Be careful with frozen products such as coloured ice-cubes. 15 EN Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 hours. In order to maintain the quality of the food, the freezing must be effected as rapidly as possible. Thus, the freezing capacity will not be exceeded, and the temperature inside the freezer will not rise. • Attention Keep the already deep-frozen food always separated with freshly placed food. When deep-freezing hot food, the cooling compressor will work until the food is completely frozen. This can temporarily cause excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.
