using the appliance for the first time
Before using the appliance for the first time, you should proceed as follows: carefully unpack the appliance and remove
all packaging material and any promotional stickers. Keep the packaging (plastic bags, polystyrene and cardboard) out of
the reach of children. After unpacking the appliance, carefully check it for external damage that may have occurred during
transport. Place the appliance on a sturdy, flat surface and make sure there is enough space all around for sufficient
ventilation. A minimum space of 10 cm is required between the appliance and the surrounding walls. In this way the
appliance is able to release heat properly, cool well and function in an energy efficient way. You can use the adjustable
feet to level the appliance. Do not place the appliance near heat sources such as central heating or a stove. Do take note
of the climate class of the appliance. When placed in a room that is too cold, the appliance will not function properly.
After placing the appliance, leave it for at least 3 hours before inserting the plug in the socket.
First clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm soapy water with, for instance, washing-up liquid, all-purpose cleaner or
soda. Wipe the inside of the appliance after cleaning with clean water and properly wipe everything dry. Leave the appliance
to dry for 1 to 2 hours.
ALIGNING THE DOORS
When, after levelling, the doors of the appliance are not properly aligned in relation to one another, it is possible to adjust the
height. If necessary, take the following steps:
a. Raise the position of the door that is too low.
b. Use pliers to press a provided C-ring in the gap between the hinge grommet and pivoting point at the
bottom side of the door.
c. The amount of C-rings required depends on the size of the gap.
Caution: be careful and make sure your fingers do not get trapped between the door. Use pliers.
Caution: keep small parts such as C-rings out of reach of children to prevent them from swallowing these parts.
LEVELLING THE APPLIANCE
a. Use the adjustable feet on the left and right to level the appliance.
b. Turn the adjustable feet clockwise to raise the refrigerator.
c. Turn the adjustable feet counter-clockwise to lower the refrigerator.
