Instructions for use
These instructions for use are intended for the user. They
describe the appliance and its correct and safe use. As they
were prepared for various types/models of refrigerators, you
may find descriptions of functions and accessories that are not
available in your appliance.
Mounting instructions
Integrated appliances are equipped with instructions for
mounting the appliance into the kitchen unit.
The appliance should be professionally mounted by a qualified
technician; mounting instructions are for his use only.
We care for the environment
x Our appliances are distributed in packaging made of
environmentally friendly materials which can be safely
recycled, disposed off or destroyed, with no effect on the
nature whatsoever.
x These instructions are printed either on recycled paper or
chlorine-free bleached paper.
x When your appliance finally wears out, please do not burden
the environment with it; call your nearest authorized service
agent (see Disposing of the worn out appliance).
Energy savings tips
x Do not open the door too often, especially when the weather
is wet and hot. Once you open the door, close it as soon as
possible. This is especially important if you have an upright
model.
x Use higher thermostat settings only when required or
recommended.
x Before putting fresh food into the appliance, let the food cool
down to room temperature.
x A layer of ice and frost will increase energy consumption.
Therefore, clean the appliance as soon as the layer is
3-5 mm thick.
x If the gasket is damaged or if it does not provide a tight seal,
the energy consumption will be substantially higher. To
restore efficiency, replace the gasket.
x Condenser at the bottom of the appliance must always be
clean and free of dust (see section Cleaning of the
Appliance).
x Always comply with the instructions in sections Positioning
and Energy Saving Tips; otherwise the energy consumption
may be substantially higher.

Instructions for Use
Important
x This appliance is manufactured in compliance with relevant
safety standards. However, it is still advisable it is not used
without due supervision by persons with diminished physical,
motoric, or mental capabilities or persons with inadequate
experience or knowledge. The same recommendation
applies to minors using the appliance.
x If you bought this appliance to replace an old one that was
equipped with a lock that cannot be opened from inside of
the appliance (lock, bolt), make sure that the lock is broken.
This will make it impossible for children to lock themselves
inside the refrigerator and suffocate.
x The appliance must be correctly connected to the power
mains (see: Connecting to the Power Mains).
x Do not touch the cooled surfaces while the appliance
operates, especially not with wet hands, because the skin
may stick to the cold surfaces.
x 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.
x Do not eat frozen food (bread, fruit, vegetables), because
you can get frostbites.
x If the food has strange smell or colour, 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 To protect the environment, 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
refrigeration system inside the appliance.
x The refrigeration system of the appliance is filled with
refrigerant and oil. When the appliance is damaged, handle
it with care and dispose it of in compliance with environmentprotection regulations (see We Care for the Environment).
x If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, a service agent or other qualified person in
order to avoid hazard.
x The rating plate is located inside the appliance or outside on
the rear wall.
x Warning! Ventilation slots on the appliance or a built-in
element must always be clean and unobstructed.
x Warning! Do not use mechanical devices or tools to defrost
the refrigerator, nor any other methods except for those
recommended by the manufacturer.
x Warning! When installing, cleaning, or removing the
appliance, make sure the insulation on the refrigeration
system parts is not damaged. Thus you will also prevent
damage to the environment.
x Warning! Do not use electric appliances in the refrigerator
or freezer interior, except for those expressly allowed by the
refrigerator-freezer manufacturer.
x After the installation, the appliance mains plug should be
accessible!

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 it 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 appropriate insulation.
Class Ambient temperature
SN (subnormal) from + 10°C to + 32°C
N (normal) from + 16°C to + 32°C
ST (sub-tropical) from + 16°C to + 38°C
T (tropical) from + 16°C to + 43°C
Connection to power supply
Use the cable and plug to connect the appliance to the power
supply socket with a ground terminal (safety socket).
Required nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the
rating plate.
The connections to the mains supply and earthing have to be
made according to currently relevant standards and
regulations. The appliance resists temporary voltage
fluctuations of up to +/- 6%.
Adjusting the height of the appliance
The appliance is equipped with four adjustable legs which allow
adjusting the height from 82 to 90 cm. The height must be
adjusted prior to building the appliance into the opening slot,
and it should be set at such height that the top panel of the
appliance fits exactly below the kitchen worktop (see Mounting
Instructions).
