Before Putting Into Use

ξ 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.

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

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

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 description of some functions and accesories that your appliance does not have.

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

ξ 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.

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

ξ 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

ξ 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.

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

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

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

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

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

ξ 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.

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

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

Instructions for Use

Important

ξ 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.

ξ The appliance must be correctly connected to the mains supply. (see: Connecting to the Mains Supply).

ξ 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.

ξ 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.

ξ 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.

ξ 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.

ξ 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).

ξ 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.

ξ 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.

ξ The rating plate is inside the appliance or outside on the rear wall.

The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling

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 (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

ξ 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).

ξ 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. 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.

Description of the Appliance

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.

Instructions for Use

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.

Fruit and Vegetable Container (3)

The container is on the bottom under the glass shelf and is used mainly for storing fruits and vegetables. It provides adequate humidity which has favourable effect on food stored (less dehydration).

Door Liner

The door liner consists of various shelves or holders used for storing eggs, cheese, butter and yogurt as well as other smaller packages, tubes, cans etc.

The lower shelf is used for storing bottles.

Illumination in the Interior of the Refrigerator

The light for illuminating the interior of the appliance is on, when the door is opened. The operation of the light does not depend on the position of the thermostat knob.

Operation Control

The appliance is controlled with thermostat knob, situated in the right upper part inside the refrigerator. Turn the knob clockwise from STOP (0) position towards 7 and backwards.

Temperature Selection

ξ Higher settings on the knob (towards 7) mean lower temperatures (colder) in all compartments of the appliance. At higher settings temperature in the interior of the appliance may even drop below 0°C.

When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend medium setting.

ξ Changes of the ambient temprature affect temperature in the interior of the appliance

(choose correct setting of the thermostat knob

ξ In STOP (0) position the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is switched off), yet power supply is not

interrupted (the light is on, when you open the refrigerator door).

ξ When the fan is on (only for models with built-in fan), we recommend new setting of temperature in the appliance.

Use

Storing Fresh Foods

Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct temperature and taking into account hygienic precautions will substantially influence the quality of the food stored.

ξ Foods to be stored in the refrigerator should be properly packed as to prevent mixing various moisture degrees and odors (in polyethylene bags or sheet, aluminium foil, wax paper), or stored in covered containers or bottles.

ξ Before storing food in the refrigerator, remove the excessive packaging (like yoghurt in multi-package).

ξ Pack systematically and make sure that foodstuffs do not touch each other (various odours may mix). Assure adequate air circulation around packages.

ξ Never store inflammable, volatile or explosive substances. ξ Beverages with high alcohol percentage shall be stored in

tightly sealed bottles in vertical position.

ξ Food should not touch the rear wall of the refrigerator! ξ Foods should be cooled down before storing.
