We Care for the Environment
Our appliances are distributed in packaging made of environmental friendly material which could safely be recycled, disposed off or destroyed, with no effects on the nature whatsoever.
When your appliance finally wears out, please try not to burden the environment with it; call your nearest authorised service agent. (See Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance).
Tips for Energy Savings
Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, mind to close it as soon as possible. This is especially important if you have an upright model.
Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance).
Important
If you have bought this appliance to replace an old one equipped with a lock that cannot be opened from inside (lock, bolt), make sure that the lock is broken. This will make it impossible for children to lock themselves inside the appliance and suffocate.
The appliance must be correctly connected to the mains supply. (see: Connecting to the Mains Supply).
Do not touch the cooled surfaces while the appliance operates, especially not with wet hands, because the skin may stick to the cold surfaces.
Do not freeze bottles containing liquid, especially not soft drinks, such as mineral water, sparkling wine, beer, cola etc., because liquid expands during freezing and the glass bottle is very likely to blow up.
Do not eat frozen food (bread, fruit, vegetables), because you can get frostbites.
If the food has strange smell or color, throw it away, because it is very likely that it is spoiled and therefore dangerous to eat.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before repairing it (only a qualified technician should repair it), before cleaning and before replacing the light bulb.
Do not defrost the appliance with other electric devices (hair dryer etc.) and never scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp tools.
Use higher temperature settings only when required or recommended.
Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh foods, make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature.
If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is poor, the energy consumption is substantially higher. To restore efficiency, replace the gasket.
Always consider instructions stated in sections Positioning and Energy Saving Tips, otherwise the energy consumption is substantially higher.
Use only enclosed tools or tools recommended by the manufacturer.
For the sake of environment protection - be careful not to damage the rear wall of the appliance (the condenser unit or the tubes ­for example when moving the appliance) or any part of the refrigerating system inside the appliance.
The refrigerating system of the appliance is filled with refrigerant and oil, so when the appliance is damaged, handle it with care and dispose it of in compliance with environmental protecting precautions. (See We Care for the Environment).
Heating element incorporated in the appliance, all around the rim, is controlled by the operation of the compressor and it prevents the door gasket to freeze on to the freezer housing.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or his service agent or a qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
The rating plate is inside the appliance or outside on the rear wall.
The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over

By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.
Storing Time During Power Supply Interruption
Do not open the freezer in case of failure or power supply interruption! In case the interruption is extended over longer period of time (16 hours), take food out of the freezer and
use it, or make sure that is sufficiently cooled (perhaps you have an extra appliance).
Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance
When your appliance finally wears out, dispose it of. If the appliance has a lock, break it, in order to prevent eventual accidents (danger of children get locked inside the appliance).
The refrigerating system of the appliance is filled with refrigerant and insulating substances which should be separately treated and processed. Call your nearest authorised service agent or specialised servicing centre. If you don't find one, contact your local authorities or your distributor. Be careful not to damage the tubes on the rear wall of the appliance (danger of pollution).
Placing and Installation
Choosing the Right Place
Place the appliance in a dry and regularly ventilated room. Allowed ambient temperature depends on the model (class) of the appliance and is stated on the rating plate of the appliance. Never place the appliance near heat emitting devices (e.g. cooker, radiator, water heater or similar devices) and do not expose it to direct sunlight. The appliance should be positioned at least 3 cm away from the electric or gas cooker and at least 30 cm away from the oil or coal stove. If this is not possible, use an appropriate insulation. Behind the appliance there should be free space at least 200 cm wide and above the appliance the high kitchen units should be at least 5 cm away from the appliance in order to assure adequate ventilation of the condenser unit.

Use
Storing Fresh Foods
Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct temperatur e and takin g in to account hygienic precautions will substantially influence the quality of the foo d stored .
Foods to be stored in the refrigerator should
be properly packed as to prevent mixing various moisture degrees and odors (in polyethylene bags or sheet, aluminium foil, wax paper, or stored in covered containers or bottles). Before you store food in the refrigerator, cool it to ambient temperature.
Before storing food in the refrigerator,
remove the excessive packaging (like yoghurt in multi-package).
Pack systematically and make sure that
foodstuffs do not touch each other (various odours may mix). Assure adequate air circulation around packages.
Never store inflammable, volatile or
explosive substances.
Beverages with high alcohol percentage
shall be stored in tightly sealed bottles in vertical position.
Food should not touch the rear wall of the
refrigerator!
Foods should be cooled down before storing.
Crispy and delicate foods should be stored in
the coldest parts of the refrigerator.
Some organic solutions like volatile oils in lemon or orange peel, acid in butter etc. can cause damages and when in contact with plastic surfaces or gaskets for longer period of time.
Unpleasant odor inside the refrigerator is a sign that something is wrong with foods or that your refrigerator needs cleaning. Unpleasant odor can be eliminated or reduced by washing the interior of the refrigerator with a mild solution of water and vinegar. We also recommend using activated carbon filters to clean the air or to neutralize odors.
If you plan a longer journey, make sure to remove quickly perishable articles of food out of the appliance before you leave.
Try not to open the door too often.
Set the temperature gradually as to avoid
freezing of the foods. Use a thermometer and measure the temperature in the individual compartments. Place the thermostat in a glass vessel filled with water. Temperature readings are most reliable few hour after steady state is reached.

Freezing Fresh Foods
Carefully select food you intend to freeze; it should be of adequate quality and suitable for freezing.
Use correct packaging and wrap it right.
The packaging should be air tight and
shouldn't leak since this could cause substantial vitamin loss and dehydration of foods.
Foils and bags should be soft enough to tightly wrap around the foods.
When preparing foods to be frozen, consider sanitary precautions.
Mark packages with following data: kind and amount of foods and the date of loading.
It is most important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible. Therefore we recommend the size of the package not to be too large and to be cooled before loading into the freezer.
The amount of fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate (freezing capacity). If the loaded amount is too large,
the quality of freezing is reduced which affects the quality of frozen foods.
Storing Frozen Foods
Packages of frozen foods are stored in the basket. If you remove the baskets, you can store frozen packages directly on the cooling shelves.
Commercially Frozen Foods
The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing commercially frozen foods are indicated on the packaging. For storing and using consider the manufacturer's instruction. When shopping, be careful and choose only adequately packed foods provided with complete data and stored in freezers where the temperature is not higher than ­18°C. Do not buy packages of food covered with frost layer. This indicates that the package was thawed before at least once. Be careful that packages don't start to thaw, as the temperature raise reduces the quality of foods.

Defrosting of frozen foods
Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy microorganisms which rapidly activate after defrosting and make foods perishable. Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of foods, especially of fruits, vegetables and ready-made meals.
Ice Making
1. Take out the ice maker.
2. Fill the ice maker with cold water or pure water. Be careful not to exceed the water line , or the ice will not separate easily which cause difficulty when taking out.
3. return the ice maker to freezer.
4. when ice is solid , twist the rotary switch clockwise then the ice will drop into the storage box. Caution: Do not fill water with other liquid in the ice storage box .

Maintenance and Cleaning
Defrosting the NO FROST refrigerator
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice depositing on the inner back wall is defrosted automatically. Periodic appearance of frost layer eventually disappears automatically.
Defrosting the NO FROST freezer
Defrosting of NO FROST freezer is automatic. Periodic appearance of frost layer eventually disappears automatically.
Cleaning the Appliance
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the appliance.
Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning agents as you can damage the surface. Be careful to remove any cleanser agent remaining after cleaning.
Clean the exterior with water and detergent. Varnished surfaces are cleaned with soft
Trouble-Shooting Guide
cloth and an alcohol based cleaning agent (for example glass cleaners). You may also use alcohol (ethanol or isoprophylic alcohol). The application of abrasive and specially aggressive cleaners, such as the stainless steel cleaners, is not appropriate for the cleaning of plastic and coated parts.
Remove the detachable accesories in the interior of the appliance and clean it with water and liquid detergent. Plastic parts cannot be washed in washing machine.
Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water, in which you added one or two spoonfuls of vinegar.
After cleaning, connect the appliance to power supply and reload the packages.
Switch Off the Appliance When Not In Use
If you do not intend to use the appliance for a longer period disconnect the power supply, take out the foods and clean the appliance. Leave the door slightly open.
During the service, you can come across some troubles that in most cases result from improper handling of the appliance and can easy be eliminated.
The Appliance Fails to Operate After Connecting to the Mains Supply
Check the supply in the outlet socket and make sure the appliance is switched on.
Continuous Operation of the Refrigerating System
the door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too long;
the door is not properly closed (the door may sag, the gasket may be polluted or damaged);
perhaps you have overloaded the appliance with fresh foods;
The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor.
The Freezer Door is Hard to Open
If you want to open the door that has just or recently been closed, you may find it hard to open. The reason why this happens is, that when you open the door, warm air gets into the appliance and when it is getting cool, the underpressure seals the door. After few minutes (1-3), the door can easily be opened.
Noise
Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is enabled by the cooling system with compressor, which produces noise. How noisy the appliance is depends on where it is placed, how it is used and how old the appliance is.
Durin g the operation of the compressor the noise of liquid is heard and when the
17
Page 18
compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal condition and it has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance.
After s tarting the appliance, the operation of the compressor and the refrigerant flow may be louder, which does not mean that something is wrong with the appliance and it has no influence on the lifetime of the appliance. Gradually the noise is reduced.
Sometimes unusual and stronger noise is heard, which is rather unusual for the appliance. This noise is often a consequence of inadequate placing.
The appliance shall be placed and levelled firmly on solid base.
It should not touch the wall or kitchen units standing next to it.
Check the accesories in the interior of the appliance, they should be placed correctly in their positions; also check the bottles, tins and other vessels that might touch each other and rattle.
