Installing the distance guides
The appliance is supplied with two distance guides which should be 
installed on the lower part of the housing to prevent from pushing the 
appliance too close to the wall. Appliance may also be installed without 
the spacers; however, this may increase power consumption.
Insert the distance guides into the holes circled in the figure. (The 
distance guides are included in the bag that contains the manual and 
other items.)
Cleaning
After installation, wipe the appliance clean with warm water.
Connecting the mains plug to the household mains socket
After the appliance is plugged, all symbols will appear for a moment, and then the startup values will appear as -18 °C on 
freezer setting indicator and 5 °C on fridge setting indicator.
All buttons on the control panel are touch-operated. (Only press to activate the button you want to operate.)
Notes:
•  Cooling may take longer in the summer months or at other times when the room temperature is higher.
•  If you need to unplug the refrigerator, wait at least 10 minutes before you plug it back in again. If not, you might damage 
the compressor.
•  If you’re not going to use the refrigerator for a long time, unplug it from the mains.
