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 voltage corresponds with what is stated on the
information plate and insert the plug in the socket.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE COOLER SECTION
The thermostat of the cooler section is located on the inside of the refrigerator. Repeatedly press the temperature knob [1]
to set the required temperature. There are six temperature positions.
2°C is the coldest position and the FAST COOL
position ensures that the appliance cools
down rapidly. If too much food is stored in the
refrigerator at once, it is possible to switch on the
FAST COOL function. The refrigerator makes the
food as cool as possible for a period of 2.5 hours,
after which the refrigerator switches back to the pre-set temperature.
We recommend setting the appliance to the temperature position of 4°C when using the appliance in a room with room
temperature.
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 knob to the
required position and fill the appliance with food.
If the ambient temperature rises, set the appliance to a lower temperature position in order to be able to guarantee the
interior temperature.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE FREEZER SECTION
The thermostat of the freezer section is located on the inside of the refrigerator, behind the
vegetable drawer.
There are three positions. The COLDER (winter) position is the coldest position. Turn the
thermostat knob [2] to the required position.
We recommend setting the appliance to the NORMAL position when using the appliance in a room
with room temperature.
If the ambient temperature rises, turn the thermostat knob between positions NORMAL and COLD
(summer) to be able to guarantee the interior temperature.
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.
