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)

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).

• 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.

64

Instructions for Use

• 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).

• Do not touch the cooled surfaces while the appliance operates,
especially not with wet hands, because the skin may stick to the cold
surfaces.

• Do not freeze bottles containing liquid, especially not soft drinks, such
as mineral water, sparkling wine, beer, cola etc., because liquid
expands during freezing and the glass bottle is very likely to blow up.

• Do not eat frozen food (bread, fruit, vegetables), because you can get
frostbites.

• 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.

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 (15
hours), 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.

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 cm
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 Appliance

• Place the appliance firmly on a solid
base. The appliance is equipped with
adjustable legs, used to level the
appliance.
purpose.

• 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

A key is enclosed for that
