Switching On the Appliance • Before switching on, place the appliance on upright position and wait at least three hours without moving the appliance. This will give the refrigerant circuit time to settle and operate efficiently. • Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially in the interior, before use (See Cleaning and Maintenance). • Installation of the appliance and electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified technician, in accordance with the Installation Manual and local regulations. • Installation procedure into the kitchen unit is given in the Installation Manual. • The appliance must be connected with a properly installed fused socket. Power supply (AC) and voltage at the operating point must with the details on the name plate of the appliance (name plate is located on the inside left of the appliance). • Insert the plug into a socket with an efficient ground connection. If the socket has no ground contact or the plug does not match, we suggest you to call an authorized electrician for assistance. • Manufacturer is not responsible for failure to complete the ground connection as described in this booklet. It will disappear after the appliance starts to cool. EN - 16 - PART 2. HOW TO OPERATE THE APPLIANCE Thermostat Setting • Thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the refrigerator compartment and freezer compartment. By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be obtained. • The “ 0 “ position shows thermostat is closed and no cooling is available. • For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob between minimum and medium position (1-3). • For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set knob medium position. (3-4) • Note that; the ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened, affects the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. • When you first switch on the appliance, you should ideally try to run it without any food in for 24 hours and not open the door. • If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting in order not to damage the compressor. • REFRIGERATORS (with 4 star rating): The freezer of the refrigerator cools down to -18°C and less. EN - 17 - “Door Open” Indicator; • The “Door Open” indicator on the lock slide indicates whether the door is closed properly or not. • If the red indicator is invisible, the door is properly closed. • Observe that the freezer door should always be kept closed properly. This will prevent food inside the freezer from defrosting; it will avoid heavy ice and frost build-up inside the freezer and an unnecessary increase in energy consumption. RED INDICATOR PART 3.

[. . . ] We do not recommend operating your fridge out of stated temperatures value limits in terms of cooling effectiveness. Climate Class T ST N SN Ambient Temperature (°C) Between 16 and 43 (°C) Between 16 and 38 (°C) Between 16 and 32 (°C) Between 10 and 32 (°C) • Tropical Climate Class is described as between 16°C and 43°C of ambient temperatures according to EN ISO15502 standards. • Appliance complies with EN15502, IEC60335-1 / IEC60335-2-24, 2004/108/EC standards. Recommendations • In order to increase space and improve the appearance, the “cooling section” of refrigerators is positioned inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment. [. . . ]
