Mounting Instructions

Integrated appliances are equipped with instructions for mounting the
appliance into the kitchen unit.
The appliance should be professionally mounted by qualified technician
and instructions are for his use only.

We Care for the Environment

• Our products use environmentally friendly packaging, which can be
either recycled or disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.
To this end, individual packaging materials are clearly marked.

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

• 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).

• Set thermostat to lower settings as soon as possible (depends on the
amount of food loaded, ambient temperature etc).

Instructions for Use58

• Never use continuous operation unless unnecessarily required;
switch the operation mode selection switch to the setting for
automatic operation as soon as possible.

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

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

• 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.

• The condenser on the rear wall should be always clean, free of dust
or any impurities.

• Always consider instructions stated in sections Positioning and
Energy Saving Tips, otherwise the energy consumption is
substantially higher.

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).

• 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 appliances (as for
example with hair dryer) and never scrape the frost layer with sharp
objects. 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. Do not use sharp object for defrosting
the appliance. Use only enclosed tools or tools recommended by the
manufacturer.

• 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).

Instructions for Use 59

• 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.

• In 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.

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 (13
hours for HZDI 2121/6, 14 hours for HZDI 2621/6 and 15 hours for
HZDI 2521/6), 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 regulariy ventilated room. Allowed
ambient temperature depends on the model (class) of the appliance
and is stated on the rating plate of the appliance.
In case the appliance is exposed to temperatures lower than +16°C,
the operation of the refrigerator is normal, yet the temperature in the
freezing compartment is raised which shortens the storage time of the
frozen foods.

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.
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 cm² 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.

Connection to Pow er Supply

Connect the appliance with the cable and plug to the power supply
socket outlet with a ground terminal (safety socket).
Required nominal 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 -15 to +10 %.

Description of the Appliance

Instructions for Use62

Refrigerator (A)

Refrigerator is used for storing fresh foods for few days.

Shelf (1)

(number depends on the model)
Shelf can be optionally placed on the guides inside the appliance. It is

protected against pulling out. If you want to remove it, slightly lift up the
back part and pull it out.
Glass shelves (some models only have them) are protected with plastic
spacers. Before pulling the shelf out, spacers must be moved towards
you. Spacers can be also removed, however, it is better to keep them
for any later transport.
Quickly perishable food should be stored on the back i.e. the coldest
part of the shelves.

Bottle rack

(in some models only)
Bottle rack (number depends on

model) is intended for storing the
bottles. There are two installation
positions available (horizontal or lifted
in the front) thus enabling the
positioning of bottles on the stopper as
well.
It is protected against pulling out. If you
want to pull it out, simply lift its rear part and pull it towards you.

Warning!

If the door contains storing shelves, install the rack in such position that
the length of the bottles will not hinder the closing of the door.
The rack may carry 9 bottles of 0,75 l or more at the maximum (total
weight max. 13 kg) – note the label underneath the thermostat box
inside the appliance.

Defrost Water Outlet (2)

The interior of the refrigerator is cooled with cooling plate incorporated
in the rear wall. Under the plate there is a channel and an outlet for
defrost water.
Regularly check the defrost water outlet and the channel, because they
should never be clogged (as for example with food rests). If clogged,
use a plastic straw and clean it.
