always clean, free of dust or any impurities.

x Always consider instructions stated in sections

Tips for Energy Savings

x 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.

x Every now and then check if the appliance is

sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance).

x Set thermostat from higher to lower settings as

soon as possible (depends on how loaded the appliance is, ambient temperature etc).

x Before loading the appliance with packages of

fresh foods, make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature. (except for the soup)

x Ice and frost layer increase energy

consumption, so do clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.

x If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that

the sealing is poor, the energy consumption is

Instructions for Use

Important

x 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.

x The appliance must be correctly connected to

the mains supply. (see: Connecting to the Mains Supply).

x 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.

x 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.

x 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.

x 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.

x 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).

x 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.

x The rating plate is inside the appliance or

outside on the rear wall.

Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance

x 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).

x 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).

Instructions for Use

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. 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.

Class Ambient temperature

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

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.

Placing the Self-standing Appliance

x Place the appliance firmly on a solid base.

Some appliances have adjustable feed on the front side; use them to level the appliance.

Connection to Power 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 %.

x 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.
