Follow these installation instructions for your LINEA DOMO DO91774R:

1. Remove the exterior and interior packing, wipe the outside thoroughly with a soft dry cloth and the inside with a wet, lukewarm cloth. Dry the appliance off well.

2. Let air circulate freely around the cabinet. Ensure there is at least 30cm of space above the appliance and 10cm on each side and behind it.

3. This cooling unit is not intended for use as a built-in appliance.

4. Select a place with a strong, level floor.

5. Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating. Heat sources nearby will cause higher electricity consumption.

6. Avoid very moist places. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form very quickly on the evaporator and your refrigerator.

7. Before connecting your refrigerator to the power supply, check that the voltage stated on the rating label of your appliance corresponds to the voltage in your home. A different voltage could damage the appliance.

8. After installation, leave the fridge-freezer for 24 hours before turning it on. This way the refrigerant can settle.

9. Allow the appliance to run empty for 12 hours so the compartment can cool to the appropriate temperature.

10. You can level the appliance using adjustable legs. The adjustable legs can be adjusted by screwing them in or out of the appliance.

The fridge is controlled with a temperature control knob located inside the appliance. Adjust the control knob as desired to suit your individual preference. The higher the number, the colder the temperature. Position 4 is the recommended position for normal use.

In the ‘o’ position the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is switched off), but the power supply is not interrupted.

The running time and temperature are affected by where the fridge is located, how often the door is opened and the temperature of the room the fridge is located in.

The climate class indicates the minimum and maximum ambient temperature for the proper operation of the LINEA DOMO DO91774R. You can find the climate class on the type plate on the back of the appliance.

• SN: Subnormal: ambient temperature between 10°C and 32°C

• N: Normal: ambient temperature between 16°C and 32°C

• ST: Subtropical: ambient temperature between 16°C and 38°C

• T: Tropical: ambient temperature between 16°C and 43°C

For the best storage, set up your LINEA DOMO DO91774R as follows:

Refrigerator Compartment

Freezer Compartment

Empty the fridge before moving the shelves or the door racks.

• To move a shelf, raise it and pull it towards you.

• To move a door rack, grip it firmly with 2 hands. Raise the door rack and pull it towards you.

If the appliance is turned off for any reason, wait for 10 minutes before turning it back on. This will allow the refrigeration system pressures to equalise before restarting.

1. Turn off the appliance and unplug it from the mains socket. Remove all food.

2. Also remove all mobile parts (shelves, accessories, etc.) or fix them into the fridge to avoid any shock.

3. Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it standing upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on.

The fridge helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods. For best results with fresh food care:

• Store foods that are very fresh and of good quality.

• Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing taste and will help maintain freshness. It will also prevent odour transfer.

• Make sure that strong smelling foods are wrapped or covered and stored away from foods such as butter, milk and cream which can be tainted by strong odours.

• Cool hot foods down before placing them in the fridge.

Freezing fresh food:

Freeze fresh and undamaged food only. To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour and colour, vegetables should be blanched before freezing. Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching.

Keep food to be frozen away from food which is already frozen.

Packing frozen food:

To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place food in airtight packaging.

1. Place food in packaging.

2. Remove air.

3. Seal the wrapping.

4. Label packaging with contents and dates of freezing.

Suitable packaging includes plastic film, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminium foil, and freezer containers.

These times vary depending on the type of food. The food that you freeze can be preserved from 1 to 12 months (minimum at -18°C).

Never forget: When you freeze fresh foods with a ‘use by/best before/best by/’ date, you must freeze them before the expiry of this date. Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen food that has thawed completely must not be refrozen. Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly.

For short vacation periods, leave the control knobs at their usual settings. During longer absences:

• Remove all foods.

• Disconnect from electrical outlet.

• Clean the refrigerator thoroughly, including defrost pan.

• Leave door open to avoid possible formations of condensate, mould or odours.

Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. During power failures of longer duration, take steps to protect your food by putting dry ice on top of packages.

Frozen food should not be affected if the power failure lasts for less than 15 hours. Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat.

1. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.

2. Turn the appliance off. Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.

3. Take out the food and store in a cool location.

4. Clean the appliance with a soft cloth, warm water and detergent.

5. Wipe the door seal with clear water only and then wipe dry thoroughly.

6. After cleaning, put the plug in the socket and set the desired temperature.

7. Put the food back into the appliance.

Defrosting the Refrigerator:

The refrigerator defrosts fully automatically. While the cooling is running, beads of condensation or hoarfrost form at the back of the refrigerator. This is normal. It is not necessary to wipe off the condensation or frost. The rear panel defrosts automatically. The condensation runs into the condensation channel and is conveyed to the cooling from where it evaporates. Keep the condensation channel and drainage hole clean, so that the condensation can run out.

Defrosting the Freezer:

A layer of frost in the freezer will impair refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power consumption. Remove the layer of frost regularly. Do not scrape off frost or ice with a knife or pointed object as this may damage the refrigerant tubes.

1. Remove the frozen food and place temporarily in a cool location.

2. Disconnect the appliance from the mains socket.

3. To accelerate the defrosting process, place a pan of hot water on a stand in the freezer.

4. Wipe up condensation with a cloth or sponge.

5. Wipe dry the freezer compartment.

6. Plug in the appliance and adjust the temperature control knob as desired.

7. Put the frozen food back in the freezer.
