Mounting Instructions

Integrated appliances are equipped with
instructions for mounting the appliance into the
kitchen unit. The appliance should be mounted
by qualified technician and instructions are for
his use only.

We Care for the Environment

• Our appliances are distributed in packaging
made of environmental friendly material
which could safely be recycled, disposed off
or destroyed, with no effects on the nature
whatsoever.

• 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).

Instructions for Use2

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.

• Check periodically if the appliance is
provided with sufficient cooling (undisturbed
circulation of air through the bottom rail
openings).

Important

• Use higher thermostat settings only when
required or recommended.

• Before loading the appliance with packages
of fresh foods, make sure they are cooled to
ambient temperature.

• 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.

• Condenser at the bottom of the appliance
must always be clean and dust free (see
Section Cleaning of the Appliance).

• Always consider instructions stated in
sections Positioning and Energy Saving
Tips, otherwise the energy consumption is
substantially higher.

• 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.

Instructions for Use 3

• 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.

• 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).

• If 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.

Placing and Installation

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).

• To avoid pollution of the environment make
sure not to damage the hose at the bottom of
the appliance.

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 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
an appropriate insulation.

Class Ambient temparature

SN (subnormal) from + 10°C to + 32°C
N (normal) from + 16°C to + 32°C

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 -6 to +6 %.

Adjusting the height of the appliance

The appliance is equipped with four adjustable
legs, so that the height may be adjusted from
82 to 90 cm. The height must be adjusted prior
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).
