To ensure proper use of this appliance and your safety, please read the following
instructions completely before operating this appliance.
Before Putting Into Use
·
·
· Before connecting the appliance to electrical
power supply, leave it to stand for about 4 hours,
which will reduce the possibility of malfunctions
in the cooling system due to transport handling.
· Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially in the
interior (See Cleaning and Maintenance).
· In case the interior accessories are not correctly
placed, rearrange them as described in chapter
"Description of the Appliance".
The cooling system of the appliance is filled with
refrigerant and oil ,so when the appliance is damaged,
handle it with care and dispose of it in compliance
with environmental protection safeguards.
The rating plate containing Model No and other
technical data specific to this unit, is located either
inside the appliance or outside on the rear wall.
Disposing of Worn Out Appliances
·
· These instructions for use are intended for the user.
They describe the appliance and correct operating
procedures for safe use .
DANGER OR WARNING: Risk of child entrapment.
Before you throw away your old appliance:
-Take off the doors
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
- Leave the shelves in place so children may not
easily climb inside.
Important
· Refrigerant: All refrigeration products contain refrigerants,
which under the guidelines of federal law must be removed
before disposal of product. It is consumer's responsibility
to comply with federal and local regulations when disposing
of this product.
·
If you have bought this appliance to replace an old
one equipped with a door lock that cannot be
opened from the inside (lock, bolt), make sure that
the lock is removed, disabled or destroyed before
discarding. This will make it impossible for children
to accidentally lock themselves inside the appliance
and suffocate.
Be careful not to damage the tubes on the rear wall
of the appliance (danger of pollution).
Tips for Energy Saving
·
·
To avoid risk of child entrapment, leave the
shelves in place so children can not easily
climb inside even when the appliance is in
routine use or not in use at home.
The appliance must be properly connected to
an electrical power supply. (See: Connection
to Power Supply) .
· Try not to open the door too often, especially when
the weather is hot and humid. Once you open the
door , close it as soon as possible. This is
especially important if you have an upright model .
· Every now and then check if the appliance is
sufficiently ventilated ( adequate air circulation
behind the appliance ).
·
·
Do not use an extension cord.
Always disconnect the appliance from the
power supply before cleaning the appliance,
or attempting repairs.
· Set the thermostat from higher to lower settings as
soon as possible (depends on how loaded the
appliance is, ambient temperatures etc.).
· If the gasket is damaged or the door seal is poor,
energy consumption is substantially higher. To
restore efficiency, replace the gasket.
WARNING:
.
·
Repairs should be performed by qualified
service personnel only.
Do not defrost the appliance with other electric
appliances (for example a hair dryer) and never
attempt to scrape/remove ice/frost with sharp objects.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Automatic Defrosting of the
Appliance
Correct Steps to Change Bulb
1. Pull out the power plug from wall socked.
Use a screw driver to loose the screw that holds
the bulb protective cover and then remove the
cover.
2. Screw out the old bulb counter-clockwise.
3. Screw on a new bulb (E14, max. 15W)
clockwise.
4. Replace the bulb protective cover.
Very important: Be sure to disconnect power
supply before you change bulb.
There is no need to defrost the appliance,
because ice depositing on the inner back wall is
defrosted automatically.
Ice build-up on the inner back wall during the
compressor operation will defrost automatically
(when the compressor has cycled off) . Defrost
water will drain out passing through the drain
outlet in the inner back wall into a drain pan
situated above the compressor, from where it
evaporates.
Switch Off the Appliance
When Not In Use
Cleaning the Appliance
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning
the appliance.
If you do not intend to use the appliance for long
periods of time, disconnect the power supply,
take out the contents and defrost and clean the
appliance. Leave the door slightly open.
Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning
agents as you may damage the surface.
Clean the exterior with water and detergent.
Remove the detachable accessories in the
interior of the appliance and clean with water and
liquid detergent. Plastic parts cannot be washed
in dishwashers.
Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm
water , adding one or two spoonfuls of vinegar.
After cleaning, connect the appliance to power
supply and reload it.
This unit is not designed for
outside installations such as
garage or porch.

Trouble-Shooting Guide
.
Sometimes you may come across minor problems
that in most cases do not require a service call
and can be easily eliminated. The problem may
have resulted from improper handling and / or
installation of the appliance. Please refer to the
below trouble-shooting guide to assist you in
identifying the possible cause and solution to your
problem. Should the problem still persist after
completing these checkpoints, please contact our
Customer Support Dept. by visiting our website at
Ice Formation on the Inner Rear
Wall
As long as the defrost water runs to the
channel and through the outlet to the drain
pan on the compressor, automatic defrosting
of the appliance is assured.
In case the ice formation on the inner back
wall is increased (1/8-1/5in.), ice should be
manually defrosted.
Disconnect the power supply, leave the door
open and defrost the ice. Never

it is damaged);
the door is frequently opened or left too

wall.
. The door is not properly closed (the door may
sag, the gasket may be contaminated or damaged).
. Perhaps you may have overloaded the appliance.
. The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the
compressor (assure adequate air circulation).
7
Check the accessories on the interior of the
appliance, they should be placed correctly in
their positions; also check bottles, tins, and
other vessels are not touching each other
causing rattling and/or vibrations.
Water is Leaking From the
Appliance
If the discharge water outlet is clogged, or the
defrost water drips over the channel, water will
leak from the appliance.
Clean the clogged outlet.
Manually defrost the increased ice layer ( see
ice Formation on the Inner rear Wall ).
.
.
Noise
Cooling in this appliance is made possible by
cooling the system using a compressor, which
will produce certain noise levels. How noisy
the appliance is depends on where it is
placed, how it is used and how old the
appliance is.
During the operation of the compressor
the noise of the liquid is heard and when the
compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow
is heard. This is a normal condition and it has
no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the
appliance.
.
.
.
After starting the appliance, the
operation of the compressor and the refrigerant
flow may be louder, which does not mean that
something is wrong with the appliance and it has
no influence on the lifetime of the appliance.
Gradually the noise will reduce.
Sometimes unusual and louder noise
may be heard. This noise is often a
consequence of inadequate installation.
The appliance must be level and installed on
a firm solid base/floor.
The appliance should not touch the wall or
kitchen units standing next to it.
