4.1 Desembalaxe

Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the appliance for any damage. Report any damage to your retailer immediately. Keep packaging materials away from children.

4.2 Colocación

• Coloque o frigorífico nunha superficie firme e nivelada.
• Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliance. Maintain a minimum distance of 10 cm from walls and other furniture to allow for proper air circulation.
• Avoid placing the appliance in direct sunlight or near heat sources (e.g., ovens, radiators) to ensure optimal energy efficiency.

4.3 Nivelación

Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom front of the appliance to ensure it is stable and level. This prevents vibrations and ensures proper door closure.

4.4 Inversión de porta

The doors of this refrigerator are reversible, allowing them to open from either the left or the right side. If you need to change the door opening direction, refer to the detailed instructions provided in the separate door reversal kit or consult a qualified technician. This process typically involves moving hinges and door stops.

• Conecte o aparello a unha toma de corrente debidamente conectada a terra.
• Deixa o frigorífico en posición vertical durante polo menos 2-4 horas antes de conectalo. Isto permite que o refrixerante se asente.

5. Instrucións de funcionamento

5.1 Posta en marcha inicial

After plugging in the appliance, set the thermostat to a medium setting. Allow the refrigerator to cool for several hours (at least 4-6 hours) before placing food inside. This ensures the compartments reach the optimal temperature.

5.2 Control de temperatura

The temperature inside the refrigerator is controlled by a thermostat, usually located inside the refrigerator compartment. Turn the dial to adjust the cooling intensity:

• "Min" / "1": Configuración menos fría.
• "Med" / "3-4": Normal operating temperature, suitable for most uses.
• "Max" / "5": Coldest setting, recommended for rapid cooling or when the ambient temperature is high.

The freezer temperature is generally regulated by the refrigerator's thermostat. Avoid frequent door openings to maintain stable temperatures.

5.3 Directrices para o almacenamento de alimentos

• Frigorífico: Store fresh foods, dairy products, and cooked leftovers. Use the crisper drawer for fruits and vegetables to maintain their freshness.
• Conxelador: Suitable for long-term storage of frozen foods. Ensure food is properly packaged to prevent freezer burn.
• Non coloque alimentos quentes directamente no frigorífico ou no conxelador; deixe que arrefríe primeiro.
• Evitar a sobrecarga dos compartimentos para permitir unha correcta circulación do aire.

6. Mantemento e Limpeza

Un mantemento regular garante un rendemento óptimo e prolonga a vida útil do seu electrodoméstico.
