Main Features  
EN  
Your fridge/freezer is fitted with several useful features, to help you store food as efficiently and as  
hygienically as possible.  
Feature  
Auto-defrost  
Description  
When sufficient frost has accumulated in the fridge/freezer, the auto-defrost feature  
starts up automatically. The frost is thawed and the thaw water is collected in an  
evaporation tray, which allows it to evaporate.  
This operation is fully automatic and requires no intervention by you.  
Bio-deodorizer  
(OPTION)  
This integrated ventilation system helps remove odor from the refrigerator, by moving  
the air in such a way that smells cannot collect and contaminate the food. The  
bio-deodorizer is located at the top of fresh food compartment.  
Chiller compartment  
(OPTION)  
The chiller compartment freezes only the surface of the food to help:  
Preserve the taste of the food  
Prolong the freshness  
Adjustable shelves  
and containers  
The accessories inside your fridge/freezer can be placed in the positions that best suit  
your requirements and the food to be stored. The specially large compartments in the  
bottom of the door are very practical when chilling bottles of drinks for example.  
Model Specifications  
The instructions in this booklet apply to several models and types.  
The main differences between the models concern whether you have:  
A chiller compartment / A multi-purpose drawer

Properly earthed (do not ground the fridge/freezer with a  
telephone line, gas pipe, and so on)  
To minimise the possibility of electric shocks from the appliance, the  
wall outlet must also be earthed; have it checked by a qualified  
electrician. If it is not earthed, it is your personal responsibility and  
obligation to have it replaced with a properly earthed outlet, or use a  
different power point.  
If the power cord is damaged, avoid a hazard by  
Ground  
cable  
replacing it through the manufacturer or its service  
agent or a similarly qualified person.  
Copper  
pipe  
In case of power plug without ground terminal.  
Connect one side of the ground wire (yellow/green  
or green color) with the ground screw, another side  
of the ground terminal with steel or copper pipe such  
as water pipe tap.
