Quick guide from the manual
This refrigerator is designed for household use. Before first use, ensure the appliance is unpacked and checked for damage.

Ensure adequate air circulation around the appliance to prevent overheating.
Safety Information
This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities if supervised. Do not store explosive substances like aerosol cans with flammable propellant in the appliance. The refrigerant circuit contains isobutane (R600a), which is flammable; ensure no components are damaged during transport or installation.
Overview
The appliance features an LED light, freezer shelves, freezer balconies, freezer drawers, fridge shelves, fridge balconies, and fridge drawers. It is equipped with leveling feet for stability.
Installation
Ensure there is enough space for the doors to open and maintain at least a 50mm gap on both sides. The appliance should be installed away from heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. If positioned below an overhanging wall unit, maintain a minimum distance of 100mm from the top of the cabinet.
Daily Use
The control panel allows for separate temperature regulation of the fridge and freezer compartments. Modes:
- SMART: Automatically sets temperatures based on internal and ambient conditions.
- ECO: Runs in the lowest energy consumption setting.
- SUPER COOLING: Cools the fridge to the lowest temperature for approx. 2 hours.
- SUPER FREEZING: Cools the freezer to the lowest temperature for approx. 6 hours.
If a door is left open for more than 90 seconds, an alarm will sound.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Before maintenance, disconnect the power plug. Do not use metal objects or sharp tools to remove frost. Use a plastic scraper. Regularly clean the drain in the refrigerator to prevent water accumulation. The appliance features NO FROST technology, so manual defrosting is not required.
Troubleshooting
If the appliance does not work, check if the temperature knob is set to "0", if the plug is loose, or if a fuse has blown. If the appliance is too warm, check the temperature settings or if the door was left open. Unusual noises may be caused by the appliance not being level or touching a wall.
Technical Data and Customer Care
Technical information is available on the rating plate inside the appliance. For service or spare parts, contact the authorized service center and have the model name and serial number ready.
