General safety precautions
Keep these instructions and they should remain at the
appliance when moving away or changing owner.
This appliance is designed for storing food, domestic
use according to these instructions only.
Specialised companies that are qualified to do so
by the manufacturer must carry out service and
repairs including repairing and changing the power
cord. Accessory parts supplied by them should be used
only for repairing. Otherwise the appliance can be
damaged or can cause other damage or injury.
The appliance is out of circuit only in that case if the plug
is removed from the socket. Before cleaning and
maintenance always unplug it (do not get it by the cable).
If the socket is difficult to reach, switch off the appliance
by cutting off the current.
Power cord must not be lengthened.
Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or
damaged by the back of the fridge/freezer.
- A damaged power plug may overheat and cause a fire.
Do not place heavy articles or the fridge/freezer
itself on the power cord.
- There is a risk of a short circuit and fire.
Do not remove the power cord by pulling on its lead,
particularly when the fridge/freezer is being pulled
out of its niche.
- Damage to the cord may cause a short-circuit, fire
and/or electric shock.
- If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
certified service agent or qualified service personnel.
If the power plug socket is loose, do not insert the
power plug.
- There is a risk of electric shock or fire.
Without the lamp cover of interior lighting you must not
operate the appliance.
When cleaning, defrosting, taking out frozen food or ice
tray do not use sharp, pointed or hard devices, as they
can cause damage to the appliance.
Be careful not to allow liquids to the temperature control
and lighting box.
Ice and ice-cream can cause hurt if they are eaten
immediately after removal from the frozen food
compartment.
After dissolving frozen food must not be refrozen, it must
be used up as soon as possible.
Store pre-packed frozen food in accordance with the
frozen food manufacturer's instructions.
You must not make defrosting faster with any electric
heating appliance or chemicals.
Do not put hot pot to the plastic parts.
Do not store flammable gas and liquid in the appliance,
because they may explode.
Do not store carbonated drinks, bottled drinks and
bottled fruits in the frozen food compartment.
Precautions for child safety
Do not allow children to play with the packaging of
the appliance. Plastic foil can cause suffocation.
Adults must handle the appliance. Do not allow
children to play with it or its controlling parts.
If you are discarding the appliance pull the plug out of
the socket, cut the connection cable (as close to the
appliance as you can) and remove the door to prevent
playing children to suffer electric shock or to close
themselves into it.
Safety precautions for
installation
Put the appliance to the wall to avoid touching or
catching warm parts (compressor, condenser) to
prevent possible burn.
When moving the appliance take care of the plug not
to be in the socket.
When placing the appliance take care not to stand it
on the power cord.
Adequate air circulation should be around the
appliance, lacking this leads to overheating. To
achieve sufficient ventilation follow the instructions
relevant to installation.
For the safety of life and property keep the
precautions of these user's instructions as
the manufacturer is not responsible for damages
caused by omission.
Safety precautions for
isobutane
Warning
The refrigerant of the appliance is isobutane
(R 600a) that is inflammable and explosive to a
greater extent.
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance
enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of
obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to
accelerate the defrosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food
storage compartments of the appliance, unless they
are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
GB
Check and clean the outlet of melting water coming
during defrosting regularly. If it is clogged the melting
water gathered can cause earlier failure.

General information
The official designation of the appliance is „refrigeratorfreezer combination with one motor compressor and
freezer placed in the lower part”. The appliance has besides the general services- a freezer with its own door
and is completely separated from the other unit.
According to this the appliance is suitable for storing frozen
and deep-frozen food, freezing products in quantity given in
the user's instructions at home and making ice.
The appliance can meet the requirements of standards
between different temperature limits according to the
climate class.
The letter symbol for climate class can be found on the
data label.

Putting it into use
Place the accessories into the appliance then plug to the
mains socket.
The thermostat knob is under a cover in the top frame.You
can switch the appliance on and set the temperature with it
by turning the knob clockwise.
The next paragraph will give instructions for setting.
Handling the appliance
Controlling the temperature, setting
The thermostatic controller interrupts the operation of the
appliance automatically for more or less time depending on
the setting then restarts it assuring the required
temperature.
Turning the control button towards the bigger numbers
cooling becomes more and more intensive.
Operate the appliance in the „5” thermostatic knob position
for 4-5 hours after the installing so that the temperatures
reach the +5 °C in the fridge and -18 °C in the freezer. After
reset the thermostatic knob to the „3” position and place
the foodstuffs to be made cold and to be frozen into the
adequate compartment. The „3” position generally meets
the requirements of everyday cooling.
We recommend you to keep the above mentioned in case
of defrosting and cleaning as well as placing of fairly big
quantity foodstuffs too.
The temperature coming about in the refrigerator is effected
by not only the position of the thermostatic control but the
ambient temperature, frequency of door openings and the
quantity of food put into it newly, etc.
In the maximum i.e. „5” position - in case of
increased demand e.g. during heatwaves - without
disconnecting continuous operation can occur. This does
not cause damages to the appliance.
How to use the refrigerator
For adequate cooling developing interior air
circulation is necessary. For this reason you are
asked not to cover the air circulation gaps behind the
shelves (e.g. with tray etc.).
Do not put hot food into the refrigerator. Allow it
to reach room temperature naturally. In this way
the unnecessary frost building up can be avoided.
Foods can take over odours from each other. So
it is essential to put foods in closed dishes or
wrap them in cellophane, aluminium foil, grease-proof
paper or cling film before placing them into the
refrigerator. This way foods will keep their moisture
e.g. vegetables will not dry out after some days.
GB
Switch and indicator set
The following component can be found under a cover in the
top frame:
A. Thermostat knob of the appliance
It is for setting the temperature in the appliance.
Drawer
The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables. There
is a separator inside the drawer that can be placed in
different positions to allow for the subdivision best suited to
personal needs.
61
Storing in the refrigerator
When placing the different kinds of food take into
consideration the sketch below in figure:
1. Confectionery, ready-cooked foods, foods in
dishes, fresh meat, cold cuts, drinks
2. Milk, dairy products, foods in dishes
3. Fruits, vegetables, salads
4. Cheese, butter
5. Eggs
6. Yoghurt, sour cream
7. Small bottles, soft drinks
8. Big bottles, drinks
Storage time and temperature of
foods
The storage time chart at the end of the instruction book
gives information about storage time.
The storage time can not be determined exactly in advance,
as it depends on the freshness and handling of the cooled
food. That is why the storage time made known is only
informative.
If you do not want to use up deep-frozen foods bought
immediately they can be stored for about 1 day (until
dissolving) in the refrigerator.
How to use the freezer
GB
Freezing
The appliance can be used to freeze fresh food of
quantity specified on the data label. Freezing different
products should always be done after proper
preparing as follows.
Set the thermostat knob to a medium position.
Put the previously frozen food - or some of it - to
another basket or baskets. Put the fresh food into the
upper basket, leaving enough space for airflow. If
there is some previously frozen food left in the upper
basket, put this food into the back of the basket
avoiding the contact between the fresh food and the
already frozen food.
Run the appliance this way for 24 hours.
After 24 hours set the thermostat knob according to
your choice or leave it in a medium position, which is
in general appropriate for everyday cooling needs.
Should you want to freeze the quantity declared by the
producer, remove the upper basket from the
appliance and put the fresh food uniformly distributed
directly on the cooling surface.
Setting the thermostat knob to a higher (e.g.
maximum) position is not recommended.
Although doing so would make the freezing time
shorter, on the other hand the temperature of the
fridge compartment may go permanently below 0°C,
what yields freezing the food and drinks stored there.
Never freeze food in bigger quantity than
given in the 'Technical data' at the same
time, otherwise freezing will not be thorough and
after dissolving various deterioration may take
place (losing taste and aroma, lysing, etc.).
