BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR

In order to maximise the performance of your refrigerator, carefully read the user instructions and the attached product sheet, which provide useful food conservation tips and a description of the appliance. Keep this booklet for future reference.

The low temperature compartment,

if featured, is used for the conservation of deep-frozen and frozen foods and for making ice-cubes; defrosting is manual.

1.After unpacking, check the refrigerator for damage and make sure the doors close properly. Any damage must be reported to the retailer within 24 hrs of delivery.

2.Leave the appliance standing in a vertical position for at least 2 hours before connecting it to the power supply (to allow the refrigerant circuit time to settle).
