Before you turn the refrigerator on.
* When placing, moving or lifting the refrigerator, do not hold the door handle, do not pull
the condenser at the back of the refrigerator, and do not touch the compressor unit.
* The refrigerator operates properly in the ambience temperature from +16°C to
+32°C. Do not use it in cellars, vestibules, and in summerhouses not heated in fall
and winter.
* After placing the refrigerator, wait two hours before you turn it on, for it could have
been excessively tilted in transport.

* The producer in not responsible for any damage resultant from violating
the principles in the manual. Thus, read carefully the information on safety
measures, operation, and maintenance of the refrigerator.

* Please keep the manual for future use or for handing it over to the next user.
* Make sure children do not use the appliance unattended. Do not allow children play

with the appliance. Children are not allowed to sit on pull-out elements and to swing
on the doors.
* Crackling sounds that may be heard are caused by expanding and shrinking of parts
caused by temperature changes.
* Before any maintenance activity, pull the plug out, do not pull the cord but hold firmly
the plug.
* Do not use double-wire extension cords; if an extension cord is necessary, make
sure it is a cord with protection pin and safety certificate.

* If the main power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by a serviceman.
* Because of safety reasons, do not repair the appliance by yourself. Repairs carried

out by persons without proper qualifica- tions can cause serious risk of injury for the
user.
* Defrosted products, even only partially, should not be frozen again.
* Do not store beverages in bottles and cans, especially carbonated beverages, in the
freezing chamber. The bottles and cans could break.
* Do not put products straight from the freezer in the mouth (icecream, ice cubes, etc.).
Their very low temperature can cause severe burns.
* If the appliance is not to be used any more, make it completely safe prior to
scrapping by cutting the cord.

* Keep the packaging material (bags, Styrofoam pieces, etc.) out of reach of children.
* Should the refrigerating unit be damaged, air the room for a few minutes (the room

should have at least 4 cubic meters).

* Do not damage parts of the cooling system, i.e. do not punch pipes with sharp
objects, do not squash, tie the pipes, do not scratch ice of the surface.

Product Characteristics

Single-compressor refrigerators (Phot.1) are designed for household use.
The refridgerator chamber should be used exclusively for storage of fresh grocery
products and the freezer chamber for freezing fresh produce, storage of frozen food,
and making ice cubes only. The refrigerators are designed for operation in the
ambient temperature from +16°C to +32°C. The elements of the cooling system of
the appliance are located behind the back wall of the chamber in order to maximize the
capacity of the chamber, facilitate keeping the chamber clean and increase durability

of the product (protecting from potential damage).
Shelves are made of safe tempered glass (Phot.2).

They can be cleaned the normal way or in dishwashers.
Special construction of the frames for the glass shelves (Phot.2) makes it possible to
adjust the distance between the shelves.
In order to change the distance between the shelves:

* take out the frames,
* place the glass the printed side facing down,
* re-install the frames adjusting the distance between the shelves as needed.

The photographs present 2 examples of placing the shelves in the refrigerator.

* distance between the shelves decreased (Phot.3),
* distance between the shelves increased (Phot.4).
