Important safety information
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.
Check and clean the outlet of melting
water coming during 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.
See chapter "Placement".
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 (R600a) 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.

General information
The official designation of the appliance
is "refrigeratorfreezercombination 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 standardsbetween
different temperature limits according to
theclimate 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 on the light box in
the refrigerator. 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.
Controlling the temperature,
setting
The thermostat interrupts the operation
of the appliance automatically for more or
less time depending on the setting then
restarts it assuring the required
temperature.
Instructions for the User
The closer it is set to maximum position
the more intensive the refrigerating will
be. When the thermostat knob is set to a
medium position (between minimum and
maximum), in the freezing compartment -
18 °C, in the fresh food compartment +5
°C can be reached. Setting it to a
medium position is adequate for
everyday use.
The temperature coming about in the
refrigerator is effected by not only the
position of the thermostat but the
ambient temperature, frequency of door
openings and the quantity of food put into
it newly, etc.
In the maximum position - in
case of increased demand
e.g. during heatwaves - the
compressor may operate continually.
This does not cause damages to the
appliance.

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 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 unnnecessary 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.
