Instructions for Use

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).

• 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.

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)

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.

Tips for Energy Savings

• 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).

• 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

Instructions for Use

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.

• 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).

• 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.

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).

WARNING:

If you need to replace the power supply cord, call an authorised technician.

Storing Time During Power Supply Interruption

Do not open the freezer in case of failure or power supply interruption! This way the intrusion of warm air is prevented.

Instructions for Use

Placing and Installation

Choosing the Right Place

Place the appliance in dry and regularly ventilated room. Allowed ambient temperature depends on the model (class) of the appliance and is started 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

Placing the Appliance

• Place the appliance firmly on a solid base.

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

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 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 %.

• 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.

Instructions for Use
