RECOMMENDATIONS
We recommend the following, for greater energy saving:
- Do not put hot foods in the fridge.
- Do not pack foods close together as this prevents air circulating.
- Make sure foods do not touch the back of the fridge.
- If the electricity goes off, do not open the fridge door.
The fridge makes some noises when working. This is entirely normal and
you might hear HUMMING, GURGLING, RUSTLING AND WHISTLING, as
well as slight CLICKING OR JUMPING noises.
Adjust the feet to level the appliance.
Make sure glass containers do not touch in the appliances.
Install the fridge leaving a gap between it and other furniture or
appliances.
Make sure accessories are installed properly.
If you have followed the instructions, but your product continues to make
irritating noises, other than those resulting from a normal functioning, please
contact the technical support service.

MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance will ensure a long life for your appliance.
Remember to remove the plug before you clean/defrost the fridge, change
the fridge light bulb, etc.
Cleaning
Clean the outside of the fridge at regular intervals with a damp cloth. Use
a solution of bicarbonate of soda and water to clean the inside. Do not use
abrasive products.
An outlet for draining water is located in the middle of the back of the fridge.
Make sure this outlet is not obstructed; clean regularly.
Defrosting
It is recommended to defrost the refrigerator each time an excessive layer
of frost is formed, then leave the doors open with the apparatus switched
off and avoid using sharp or mechanical objects (knives, scissors, etc)
to remove the ice from the internal parts, in order to avoid damaging the
refrigerating circuit.
NOTE: a small amount of ice on the back of the fridge compartment is
normal.
Replacing the fridge light bulb
To replace the light bulb in the fridge compartment:
Adjust the thermostat to „0“ and remove the plug from the socket.
Use a flat screwdriver to lift up the grid and remove the see-through
cover
Remove the light bulb and replace with the same type and same watt
bulb.
Re-fit the cover and plug in the appliance.

To make sure foods retain their flavour and substance and stay fresh, store
them in the fridge compartment as shown in the figure below. Wrap foods
in tin foil or cling film or put them in closed containers.
Frozen foods can be stored for approximately one month in compartments
See the table for storing foods in compartments
