Installing the distance guides
The appliance is supplied with two distance guides which should be
installed on the lower part of the housing to prevent from pushing the
appliance too close to the wall. Appliance may also be installed without
the spacers; however, this may increase power consumption.
Cleaning
After installation, wipe the appliance clean with warm water.
Connecting the mains plug to the household mains socket

freezer setting indicator and 5 °C on fridge setting indicator.
All buttons on the control panel are touch-operated. (Only press to activate the button you want to operate.)
Notes:
