Instructions for Use |
•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.
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.
•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.
•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).
•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).
