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?

2.Insert the 2 plastic wedges onto the rear ventilation as illustrated in the following figure. Unscrew the existing ones and use the screws given in the same bag of wedges. Plastic wedges will provide the required

distance between your refrigerator and the wall in order to allow the air circulation.

3.Clean the interior of the refrigerator as recommended in the “Maintenance and cleaning” section.

4.Plug the refrigerator into the wall outlet. When the door is open the respective interior light will come on.

5.You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. 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.

6.Front edges of the refrigerator may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are designed to be warm to avoid condensation.
