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).

• If the interior accessories are not correctly placed, rearrange them as
described in chapter "Description of the Appliance" (accessories may vary
according to model).

Instructions for Use

These instructions for use are intended for the user. They describe the
appliance and its correct and safe use. They were prepared for various
types/models of appliances therefore you may find in it descriptions of some
functions and accessories that your appliance does not have.

We Care for the Environment

• Our appliances are distributed in packaging made of environmentally
friendly material which can safely be recycled, disposed of or destroyed,
with no effects on the enviroment whatsoever.

• These instructions are printed either on recycled paper or chlorine free
bleached paper.

• When you find your appliance is worn out and no longer needed, try not to
burden the environment with it. Call your nearest authorised "collecting
service for used appliances".

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, close it as soon as possible.

• Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated
(adequate air circulation behind the appliance).

• Set thermostat from higher to lower settings as soon as possible (depends
on how loaded the appliance is, ambient temperature etc).

• Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh foods, make sure they
are cooled to ambient temperature.

• Ice and frost layers increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance
as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.

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
with wet hands, because the skin may stick to the cold surfaces.

• Do not freeze bottles containing liquid, especially soft drinks, such as
mineral water, sparkling wine, beer, cola etc., as liquid expands during
freezing and the glass bottle is very likely to break.

• 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.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorised service
agent or a qualified person in order to avoid hazard.

• The rating plate is inside the appliance or outside on the rear wall
depending on the model.

• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons
without supervision.

• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.

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.

Class Ambient temparature
SN (sub-normal) from + 10°C to + 32°C
N (normal) from + 16°C to + 32°C
ST (sub-tropical) from + 18°C to + 38°C
T (tropical) from + 18°C to + 43°C

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.

Placing the Appliance

• Place the appliance firmly on a solid base.
Level it with the two adjustable feet, located on
the front.

• The appliance with ventilation grid may be
placed close to the wall. The grid enables
sufficient air circulation, required for adequate
ventilation of the rear wall.

• Two spacers attached to the appliance must
be fitted onto the upper edge of the condenser,
thus preventing the appliance from being
installed too close to the wall. Spacers are
manufactured for all-purpose function
depending on the distance of the condenser
from the wall. Therefore turn spacers
correspondingly and fix them to the appliance.

Connection to Power Supply

Connect the appliance with the cable and plug to the power supply socket.
This supply outlet must be 240V and earthed.
