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 and being used 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 bot-
tled fruits in the frozen food compartment.
Check and clean the outlet of melting water coming dur-
ing defrosting regularly - a label inside the appliance
warns you for this. If it is clogged the melting water gathered can cause earlier failure.
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.
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 stor-
age compartments of the appliance, unless they are
of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
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.

The official designation of the appliance is home refrigerator with a four-star frozen food compartment. According to
this the appliance is suitable for storing frozen and deepfrozen food, freezing products in limited quantity 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 class of climate can be found on
the data label.

Handling the appliance
Putting it into use
Place the accessories into the refrigerator then plug to the
mains socket. To start cooling turn the control dial on the
right-hand side of the fresh food compartment from „0”
clockwise according to the figure. In „0” position the appliance is out of operation.
The next paragraph will give instructions for setting.
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.
In the frozen food compartment -18 °C or lower temperature can be reached if the knob of the thermostatic control
is set to „3”. In this case the temperature starting automatically in the fresh food compartment is about +5 °C or
below. The „3” position generally meets the requirements of
everyday cooling.
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.
Hints for storage
When placing the different kinds of food take into consideration the sketch below in figure:
1. Storing frozen foods, making ice and ice-cream.
Freezing fresh foods.
2. Confectionery, ready-cooked foods
3. Foods in dishes
4. Opened cans
5. Milk, dairy products
6. Fresh meat, cold cuts, sausages, etc.
7. Fruits, vegetables, salads
8. Cheese, butter
9. Eggs
10. Yoghurt, sour cream
11. Small bottles, soft drinks
12. Big bottles, drinks
Storage time and temperature of
foods
The enclosed charts at the end of the user's instructions
give information about storage time in the frozen and the
fresh food compartment.
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.
It is safe to store quick-frozen food only that way if they were
not dissolved even for a short time until placing them into
the frozen food compartment.
