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.

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.

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.

or the User

General information

The official designation of the appliance is „refrigerator-freezer combination with one motor compressor and freezer placed in the upper 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.

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 knob towards the bigger numbers cooling becomes more and more intensive.

In the freezer -18 °C or lower temperature can be reached, if the thermostatic control knob is set to the „Medium” (approx. 2-3) position. In this case the temperature developing automatically in the freezer is about +5 °C or lower. „Medium” position (2-3) is usually adequate for everyday use.

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. „6” position - in case of

increased demand e.g. during heatwaves the compressor may operate continually. This does not cause damages to the appliance.

How to use the cooling compartment

Developing interior air circulation is necessary

for adequate cooling. For this reason you are asked not to cover the whole surface of the wire shelves with paper, trays, etc.

Do not put hot food into the refrigerator.

Allow it to reach room temperature naturally. In this way 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.
