5. You can conveniently store two wine bottles in the hanging wine rack. If you don't need this
wine rack, or you wish to remove it for cleaning, pull the shelf that holds the rack completely
out of the fridge, then slide the wine rack off the side of the shelf (applicable model).
• Install the refrigerator in a cool, well ventilated place, protect it from direct sunlight and keep
well away from heat sources.
• Do not put hot food in the fridge or freezer. Wait for foods and drinks to cool to room tempera-
ture before placing them in the fridge.
• Do not overload the fridge, as it forces the compressor to run for longer.
• Wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the fridge. This cuts down
on frost build-up inside the fridge.
• Do not line any fridge container with aluminium foil, wax paper or paper towels. Liners interfere
with cold air circulation, reducing cooling efficiency.
• Position food so that air can circulate freely around it (food should not touch each other and try
to leave space between food and the rear wall).
• Do not leave the fridge door open for longer than required to prevent the unit from overheating.
• Make sure the food doesn't touch the back of the compartment.
• Don't set the thermostat to extremely cold temperatures.
• Short vacation: Leave the fridge running during vacations shorter than a month long. Use up
any perishables and freeze other items.
• Long vacation: Disconnect the appliance from the power supply, empty it, defrost it (if necessary)
and clean it. To prevent odour and mould growth, keep the doors slightly ajar to let air circulate
inside the compartments, blocking it open, if necessary. (While the fridge remains open, restrict
children's access to the room to avoid child entrapment).
1. Unplug the fridge and remove all food from the inside. Clean, wipe and dry thoroughly.
2. Securely tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the back of the refrigerator. Take
out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them together so they don't shift and rattle
during the move.
3. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator so it rolls more easily OR screw in
the levelling feet so they don't scratch the floor.
CAUTION! Never pick the refrigerator up by the door.
4. Protect the outside of the unit with a soft, clean surface, such as a towel, blanket or
piece of cardboard and make sure the fridge stays secure in an upright position during
its transportation.
