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
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.
Instructions for Use
55
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.
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.
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).
Instructions for Use
56
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.
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.
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.
• 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.
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 %.

on the model.
• Various accesories (spice container, tube
holder or additional shelves) can be bought in
authorized centres.
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.
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 maximum (total weight max. 13 kg) – note the
label underneath the thermostat box inside the
appliance.
Instructions for Use
58
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.
Freezer (B)
Freezer is used for freezing fresh foods and for
storing already frozen foods.
Freezing Compartment (4)
is used for freezing fresh foods.
Storage Compartment (5)
This area is intended for storage of already frozen
food.
Defrost Water Outlet (6)
(See Cleaning and Maintenance).
Cold accumulators (7)
(some models only)
In the upper part of the freezing compartment
there are two cold accumulators.
Before switching on the freezer for the first time,
remove the accumulators and insert them again
after the red light is off.
• Both accumulators maintain uniform
temperature of frozen foods therefore assuring
higher quality of foods and reducing energy
consumption.
• If you remove the accumulators, the compart-
ment can be used for freezing fruits (for
example berries) or for ice making.
• These accumulators can as well be used for
maintaining lower temperatures of foods and
bottles, for example when you make a trip or a
picnic.
Bottle stopper (8)
(in some models only)
The bottle stopper (number depends on the
model) prevents the bottles from moving in the
door rack.
Instructions for Use
59
REFRIGERATOR
Freezer (B)
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
• Higher settings on the knob (towards 7) mean
lower temperatures (colder) in the refrigerator.
Temperature in the refrigerator may even drop
below 0°C. Use higher settings only when
required or recommended.
When the ambient temperature is normal, we
recommend medium setting.
• Changes of the ambient temprature affect
temperature in the interior of the refrigerator
(choose correct setting of the thermostat knob).
• In STOP (0) position the refrigerator 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).
• Temperature in the refrigerator also depends
on how often you open the door.
Instructions for Use
60
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.
• 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.
• Before storing food in the refrigerator, remove
the excessive packaging (like yoghurt in multipackage).
• Pack systematically and make sure that
foodstuffs do not touch each other (various
odours may mix). Assure adequate air
circulation around packages.
• Never store inflammable, volatile or explosive
substances.
• Beverages with high alcohol percentage shall
be stored in tightly sealed bottles in vertical
position.
• Food should not touch the rear wall of the
refrigerator!
• Foods should be cooled down before storing.
• Crispy and delicate foods should be stored in
the coldest parts of the refrigerator.
• Try not to open the door too often.
• Set the thermostat to the setting where lowest
temperatures are reached. Set the thermostat
gradually as to avoid freezing of the foods.
Use a thermometer and measure the
temperature in the individual compartments.
Place the thermostat in a glass vessel filled with
water. Temperature readings are most reliable
few hour after steady state is reached.
• Some organic solutions like volatile oils in
lemon or orange peel, acid in butter etc. can
cause damage and when in contact with plastic
surfaces or gaskets for longer period of time
they can cause accelerated ageing of the
plastic material.
• Unpleasant odor inside the refrigerator is a sign
that something is wrong with foods or that your
refrigerator needs cleaning. Unpleasant odor
can be eliminated or reduced by washing the
interior of the refrigerator with a mild solution of
water and vinegar.
We also recommend using activated carbon
filters to clean the air or to neutralize odors.
• If you plan a longer journey, make sure to
remove quickly perishable articles of food out of
the appliance before you leave.

FREEZER
Operation Control
The freezer is controlled with two switches and
thermostat knob incorporated in the upper part of
the appliance.
Control panel
1 ON/OFF button 4 Temperature selector
2 Mode selection button 5 External thermometer
3 Sound alarm button, red light
ON/OFF Switch (1)
The appliance is switched on - the green light is
on.
The appliance is switched off - the green light is
off.
Operation Mode Selection
Switch (2)
This switch is used to select one of the two
operation modes: continuous and automatic.
Continuous operation – yellow light
is on ("super" function)
The cooling system operates continuously. This
mode is selected when you want to freeze large
amounts of fresh foods and in case you want to
deep freeze already frozen foods.
Automatic operation - the yellow light is off.
The interior temperature is controlled by the
thermostat which turns the cooling system on and
off.
The frequency of switching the cooling system on
and off depends on:
− the thermostat knob position (thermostat
setting),
− how often you open the door; and
− ambient temperature.
Sound alarm button, red light (3)
Sound alarm is triggered and red light is on if the
freezer compartment is not under correct
temperature (see section "Troubleshooting
guide").
Temperature Selection (4)
When the freezer operates automatically, the
interior temperature is controlled by the
thermostat.
We recommend meduim setting of the
thermostat, that is the position between max (7)
and min (1).
Settings towards max (7) are recommended only
in case you want to accelerate cooling, as for
example before loading smaller amounts of fresh
foods or when the operation mode shall
correspond to the ambient temperature.
Thermostat settings towards min (1) help you
save energy provided that the freezer is loaded
with smaller amount of frozen foods.
Changes of the ambient temperature affects
temperature in the interior of the appliance.
Choose correct setting of the thermostat knob.
Instructions for Use
62
External Temperature Meter (5)
The meter shows approximate temperature in the
interior of the freezer. The most convenient
temperature for long term storing of frozen foods
is -18°C or colder. Optimum storage conditions
depend on the thermostat setting, ambient
temperature, how loaded the appliance is and
how often you open the door.
Don't forget, temperature changes are noted on
the meter some 48 hours after the thermostat
position was changed.
Instructions for Use
63
Use
Switching On the Empty Freezer
Switch the freezer on. Sound alarm is on because
of inappropriate temperature. It may be switched
off by pressing the alarm button
.
Put the mode selection switch to the continuous
operation position. All three signal lamps are on.
Place fresh food into the freezer several hours
after the red signal lamp goes off.
Freezing Fresh Foods
Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed
food, correct temperature and taking into account
hygienic precautions will substantially influence
the quality of freezing the food or storing of the
frozen foodstuffs.
• Carefully select food to be frozen: it should be
of adequate quality and suitable for freezing.
• Choose correct packaging for each kind of food
and pack it correctly.
− The packaging should be air tight and well
sealed without leaking since this could cause
substantial vitamin loss and dehydration.
− Foils and bags should be soft enough to
tightly wrap around the food.
• Mark packages with following data: kind and
amount of foods and the date of loading.
• It is most important that the food is frozen as
quickly as possible. We therefore recommend
the size of the package not to be too large and
to be cooled before loading into the freezer.
• The amount of the fresh foods that can be
loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is stated
on the rating plate. If the loaded amount is too
large, the quality of freezing is reduced which
affects the quality of frozen foods.
Freezing Procedure
Freezing compartment is used for freezing
foodstuffs (see chapter "Description of the
Appliance").
• If you want to freeze larger amount of fresh
food, set the operation mode selection switch to
the position for continuous operation (yellow
light is on). After 24 hours you can load the
freezing compartment with packages of fresh
foods.
• 24 hours after the food was loaded, the frozen
packages can be stored into baskets and the
freezer can be loaded with new packages of
fresh foods. Don't let the fresh packages touch
the frozen ones.
• Some 24 hours after the last load, set the
switch to the position for automatic operation
(yellow light is off).
• There is no need to set the switch to the
position for continuous operation if you intend to
freeze smaller amount of fresh foods (1-2 kg).
Storing Frozen Foods
Packages of frozen foods are stored in baskets. If
you remove the baskets, you can store frozen
packages directly on the cooling shelves.
Storing Commercially Frozen Foods
The storage time and recommended temperature
for storing commercially frozen foods is indicated
on the packaging. For storing and use consider
manufacturer's instruction.
When shopping, be careful and choose only
packages of foods which are adequately packed
and provided with complete data and stored in
freezers where the temperature is not higher than
-18°C.
Do not buy packages of food wrapped with frost.
This indicates that the package was thawed
before at least once. Take care that packages
don't start to thaw. Temperature rise shortens the
storage time of commercially frozen foods.

Defrosting of Frozen Food
Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be
used as soon as possible. Cold air preserves the
food but it does not destroy microorganisms
which rapidly activate themselves after defrosting
and make foods perishable.
Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of
foods, especially of fruits, vegetables and readymade meals.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Automatic Defrosting of the
Refrigerator
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator,
because ice depositing on the inner back wall is
defrosted automatically.
Ice is depositing on the inner back wall during the
compressor operation; later on, when the
compressor is not operating ice is defrosting and
water drops collect and drain through the outlet in
the inner back wall into the drain pan situated
above the compressor, from where it evaporates.
Freezer Defrosting
When the frost layer in the freezer is 3-5 mm
thick, you should clean the freezer.
• 24 hours before defrosting set the switch to
continuous operation (the yellow light is on) so
that the food packages are well frozen. After
that empty the freezer and take care that the
packages remain frozen.
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains
supply.
• Insert the enclosed pipe into the groove in the
bottom of the appliance and place a vessel
underneath to collect the defrost water.
Defrosting is accelerated if the door is left open.
• Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may
cause damage to the plastic parts and may be
hazardous to health.
Cleaning the Appliance
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning
the appliance.
Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning agents
as you can damage the surface.
• Clean the exterior with water and detergent.
Varnished surfaces are cleaned with soft cloth
and an alcohol based cleaning agent (for
example glass cleaners). You may also use
alcohol (ethanol or isoprophylic alcohol).
The application of abrasive and specially
aggressive cleaners, such as the stainless steel
cleaners, is not appropriate for the cleaning of
plastic and coated parts.
• Remove the detachable accesories in the
interior of the appliance and clean it with water
and liquid detergent. Plastic parts cannot be
washed in washing machine.
• Wash the interior of the appliance with
lukewarm water, in which you added one or two
spoonfuls of vinegar.
• Every now and then wipe the condenser on the
rear wall. Use soft non-metal brush or vacuum
cleaner.
• Clean the drain pan on the refrigerator
compressor. Do not remove the drain pan!
After cleaning, connect the appliance to power
supply and reload the packages.
Switch Off the Appliance When
Not In Use
If you do not intend to use the appliance for a
longer period, set the thermostat knob on the
refrigerator to the STOP (0) position, switch off
the ON/OFF switch on the freezer and disconnect
the power supply, take out the foods and defrost
and clean the appliance. Leave the door slightly
open.
Instructions for Use
67
Trouble-Shooting Guide
During the service, you can come across some
troubles that in most cases result from improper
handling of the appliance and can easy be
eliminated.
Refrigerator
The Refrigerator Fails to Operate
After Connecting to the Mains Supply
• Check the supply in the outlet socket and make
sure the appliance is switched on (thermostat in
operating position).
Continuous Operation of the
Refrigerating System
• The door was frequently opened or it was left
opened for too long.
• The door is not properly closed (the door may
sag, the gasket may be polluted or damaged).
• Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance
with fresh foods.
• The reason may be inadequate ventilation of
the compressor and condenser (assure
adequate air circulation and wipe off the
condenser).
Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall
As long as the defrost water runs to the channel
and through the opening to the drain pan on the
compressor, automatic defrosting of the
appliance is assured.
In case the ice formation on the inner back wall is
increased (3-5 mm), ice should be manually
defrosted.
Set the thermostat knob to STOP (0) position and
leave the door open. Never use electric devices
for defrosting and do not scrape the ice or frost
layer with sharp objects.
After completed defrosting, turn the knob to
desired position and close the refrigerator door.
The cause of increased ice formation may be one
of the following:
− the door does not seal well (clean the gasket if
it is contaminated, or replace it if it is damaged);
− the door was frequently opened or it was left
opened for too long;
− the food stored in the refrigerator was warm;
− the food or dish is touching the inner back wall.
Water is Leaking From the
Refrigerator
In case the discharge water outlet is clogged, or
the defrost water drips over the channel, water
leaks from the refrigerator.
• Clean the clogged opening, for example with a
plastic straw.
• Manually defrost the increased ice layer. See
"Ice Formation on the Inner Back Wall".
Bulb Replacement
Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the
appliance form the power supply.
Press the cover at the rear side (in the arrow 1
direction) and remove the plastic cover (in the
arrow 2 direction). Replace the bulb with a new
one (E14, max. 10 W).
Don't forget: the old bulb does not belong to
organic waste.
Light bulb is consuming good therefore our
in-guarantee service does not relate to it.
Freezer
The Appliance Fails to Operate After Connecting
to the Mains Supply
• Check the supply in the outlet socket and make
sure the appliance is switched on (the green
light is on).
Sound alarm button, The Red Light
is On
• The door was frequently opened or it was left
opened for too long.
• The door is not properly closed (the door may
sag, the gasket may be polluted or damaged).
• Power supply has been interrupted for a longer
period of time.
• Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance
with fresh foods.
To stop the sound alarm press the alarm button
. Red light goes off when the malfunctions
are removed and the temperature within the
Instructions for Use
68
appliance reaches the appropriately low level
(depending upon the thermostat setting).
Continuous Operation of the Cooling
System
• Set the operation mode selection switch from
continuous to automatic operation.
• The reason may be inadequate ventilation of
the compressor and condenser (assure
adequate air circulation behind the appliance
and wipe the dust from the condenser).
Freezer Door is Hard to Open
If you want to open the door that has just or
recently been closed, you may find it hard to
open. The reason why this happens is, that when
you open the door, warm air gets into the
appliance and when it is getting cool, the
underpressure seals the door. After few minutes
(5-10), the door can easily be opened.
Noise
Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is
enabled by the refrigerating system with
compressor, which produces noise. How noisy
the appliance is depends on where it is placed,
how it is used and how old the appliance is.
• During the operation of the compressor the
noise of liquid is heard and when the
compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow
is heard. This is a normal condition and it has
no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the
appliance.
• After starting the appliance, the operation of
the compressor and the refrigerant flow may be
louder, which does not mean that something is
wrong with the appliance and it has no
influence on the lifetime of the appliance.
Gradually the noise is reduced.
• Sometimes unusual and stronger noise is
heard, which is rather unusual for the
appliance. This noise is often a consequence of
inadequate placing.
− The appliance shall be placed and levelled
firmly on solid base.
− It should not touch the wall or kitchen units
standing next to it.
− Check the accesories in the interior of the
appliance, they should be placed correctly in
their positions; also check the bottles, tins
and other vessels that might touch each other
and rattle.
