Before Putting Into Use

• Before connecting the appliance to the mains
supply, leave it stand for about 2 hours,
which will reduce a possibility of malfunctions
in the cooling system due to transport
handling.

• Clean the appliance, and be thorough,
especially in the interior (See Cleaning and
Maintenance).

• In case the interior accessories are not
correctly placed, rearrange them as
described in chapter Description of the
Appliance.

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.

packaging indicates that this product
may not be treated as household
waste. Instead it shall be handed over

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.

Class Ambient temperature

SN (subnormal) from + 10°C to + 32°C
N (normal) from + 16°C to + 32°C
ST (sub-tropical) from + 16°C to + 38°C

2

T (tropical) from + 16°C to + 43°C

Connection to Power Supply

Connect the appliance with the cable and plug
to the power supply socket outlet with a ground
terminal (safety socket). Required nominal

4

voltage and frequency are indicated on the
rating plate. The connection to the mains
supply and earthing have to be made according
to current standards and regulations. The
appliance resists temporary voltage tolerance
up to -6 to +6 %.

Feet adjustment

The fridge/freezer must be installed on a firm,
flat and level surface for it to work quietly and
efficiently.
If the feet are not already fitted, screw them
into the two front corners of the bottom of the
casing.

Fine adjustments can be made to level the
appliance by turning the feet to raise or lower,
please follow the direction in the figure.
