Thank you for purchasing your new refrigerator from Vestfrost. Please note that
these instructions apply to all refrigerators
in the SZ range. Illustrations and fittings
may therefore not necessarily correspond
exactly to your model.
Warning
As the refrigerant used in this appliance is a
flammable gas (Isobutane R600a), special
care must be taken to prevent damage
to the refrigerant circuit and piping during
transport and installation.
If damage does occur, avoid sparks or
naked flame in the vicinity of the appliance,
ensure that the room is well ventilated,
disconnect the power supply, and contact
your supplier.
The unit must only be serviced by qualified technicians from an approved service
centre.
Old appliances
Old refrigerators and freezers are often
fitted with complicated latches that can
only be opened from the outside. If you
have one of these old units stored away
somewhere, or if you scrap one, remember
to destroy the latch first in order to prevent
children from being exposed to great danger by getting locked inside the unit.
Disposal
This appliance contains recyclable materials. Before disposing of the unit, detach the
plug from the cable and remove the door.
If the door is left on, the appliance is highly
dangerous for children at play.
Environmental regulations on disposal must
also be observed. When disposing of the
appliance you should contact your local authority technical department who will inform
you of how collection and recycling of such
units take place in your area.
Before use
Before operating your new appliance,
please read the following instructions carefully as they contain important information
on safety, installation, operation and maintenance. Keep the instructions for future
reference.
On receipt, check to ensure that the appliance has not been damaged during transport. Transport damage should be reported
to the local distributor before the refrigerator
is put to use.
Remove the packaging. Clean the inside of
the cabinet using warm water with a mild
detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry
thoroughly (see cleaning instructions). Use
a soft cloth.
If during transport the appliance has been
laid down, or if it has been stored in cold
surroundings (colder than +5°C), it must be
allowed to stabilise in an upright position for
at least an hour before being switched on.

Placement
For safety and operational reasons, the
appliance must not be installed outdoors.
The appliance should be placed on a level
surface in a dry, well ventilated room (max.
75% relative air humidity). Never place the
appliance close to sources of heat such as
cookers or radiators, and avoid placing it in
direct sunlight.
Room temperature
The climate class is stated on the
nameplate (see fig. 1 on page 3 and fig. 17
on page 13). This specifies the optimum
room temperature.
Climate class Optimum room tem-
perature
SN +10 ºC to +32 ºC
N +16 ºC to +32 ºC
ST +18 ºC to +38 ºC
T +18 ºC to +43 ºC
Installation
The surface on which the appliance is to be
placed must be level. Do not use a frame or
similar.
The appliance can be installed as a freestanding unit against a wall, built into a
kitchen element, or lined up with other
appliances (figs 2-3).

Ventilation
It is important that the appliance be
well ventilated and that air can circulate
unhindered above, below and around it. The
figures below illustrate how the necessary
air circulation can be ensured (figs 6-7).
The appliance viewed from
above
If the appliance is placed beside a wall,
there must be sufficient room for its door
to be opened wide enough to allow the
shelves to be pulled out (fig. 4).
Fitting the tilt-stop
A tilt-stop can be fitted to prevent the
unit from tilting forwards when the door
is opened. Mount the tilt-stop on the wall
behind the appliance 80-100 mm from the
left or right side of the appliance depending
on which side the door is hinged. The
tilt-stop must always be fitted on the side
opposite to the hinge (fig. 5).

Setting up
It is important that the appliance be
absolutely level. To level the appliance,
remove the kick plate below the door and
screw the adjustable feet up or down (figs
8-9). Use a spirit level to check that the
appliance is absolutely level.
If the appliance is to be placed on a soft
surface, e.g. floorboards or a carpet, it is
best to recheck whether the appliance is still
level after a period of time as the underlying
surface may give under the weight of the
appliance.

The door can be changed from right-hinged to left-hinged and vice versa as follows:
Reversing the door
1. Remove upper hinge. The hinge will be
reused later as the upper hinge on the
opposite side. Lift off door.
2. Remove kick plate. Remove lower
hinge by unscrewing the three screws.
Rotate hinge through 180° and refit on
opposite side.
4. Move hole cover to opposite side of kick
plate and refit kick plate to appliance.
5. Door adjustment (top): Loosen the two
screws holding the upper hinge in place
and turn the hinge to right or left as
required. Retighten the screws.
6. Move handle to opposite side of door. Refit
plugs in holes on opposite side of door.
3. Door adjustment (bottom): Loosen the
three screws holding the lower hinge
in place and realign the hinge to left or
right as required. Retighten the screws
and refit the kick plate.

The appliance is intended for connection
to alternating current. The required voltage (V) and frequency (Hz) are stated on
the nameplate inside the appliance. Power
must be connected via an independent wall
socket outlet.
If the mains lead has been damaged, it
must be replaced with a corresponding
type supplied by the manufacturer or an
approved service centre.

GB
The thermostat button can be set
from 1 (less cold) to 7 (more cold). A
suitable setting must be found by trial
and error. Start by setting the button to
4. Check the temperature, then adjust
the setting upwards or downwards as
required. Usually, a temperature of 5°C
is recommended for items stored in a
refrigerator. To check the temperature,
place a thermometer in a glass of water
positioned in the centre of the cabinet for 12
hours. The average temperature is usually
found in the centre of the cabinet.
The chiller section corresponds to an
old-fashioned larder. The temperature
fluctuates between +8ºC and +12ºC.
Temperature control of chiller
section:
The refrigerator and chiller sections
are separated by a temperature plate,
positioned two shelf holders above the
crisper bins.

Glass shelves
The shelves are made of tempered glass
and can be repositioned within the cabinet.
To move the shelves, the door must be
opened 90°. To remove a shelf, pull it
forwards and lower it. The shelf can then be
removed and placed in the desired position.
From the top and downwards, the shelves
are suitable for storing bakery products,
ready-made meals, dairy products, meat
products and sliced meat.
Storage boxes
The storage boxes can either be placed
in the door or on the glass shelves. The
tight-fitting lids prevent items stored in the
boxes from drying out. The boxes are ideal
for storing items such as butter and cheese.
The large storage box is ideal for storing
items such as meat and sliced meat. It is
also suitable for thawing pieces of frozen
meat.
Bottle rack
The bottle rack is ideal for both large and
small bottles.
Crisper bins
The crisper bins are ideal for storing fruit
and vegetables. The shelf above the bins
functions as a lid, maintaining humidity and
preventing the items stored in the bins from
drying out.
Glass shelf with slide damper
The slide damper above the crisper bins
allows the temperature and humidity in the
bins to be regulated.
- Opening the damper reduces the
temperature and humidity.
- Closing the damper increases the
temperature and humidity.
Shelves in the door
The shelves in the door are practically
positioned with the box shelf at the top, the
egg holder in the middle and door shelves
at the bottom. They provide ample space for
storing large and small bottles, cartons, jars
and tubs. All shelves can be repositioned.

Automatic defrosting
The refrigerator is defrosted automatically.
Defrost water runs through a pipe and is
collected in a tray above the compressor
where the heat generated by the
compressor causes it to evaporate. The
defrost water tray should be cleaned at
intervals.
Cleaning
Disconnect the power supply before
cleaning the inside of the cabinet.
The cabinet is best cleaned using warm
water (max. 60°C) with a little mild
detergent. Never use cleaning agents that
scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse with clean
water and dry thoroughly. It is important
to prevent water from entering the control
panel.
The defrost water channel, in which
condensation from the evaporator runs,
is located on the rear wall of the cabinet
and must be kept clean. Add a few drops
of disinfectant, e.g. Rodalon, to the defrost
water drain a couple of times a year,
and clean the drain using a pipe cleaner
or similar. Never use sharp or pointed
implements.
The sealing strip around the door must be
cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration
and prolong service life. Use clean water.
After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it
continues to provide a tight seal.
The condensers need no cleaning. They
are built in, partly to minimise energy
consumption, and partly to prevent them
from being damaged.
Defrosting, cleaning and maintenance
Dust collecting on the compressor and
in the compressor compartment is best
removed using a vacuum cleaner. It is
possible to clean beneath the appliance by
removing the kick plate.
Stainless steel or aluminium doors are best
cleaned using a care spray and soft cloth.
Various suitable products are available from
most household appliance distributors.
If the appliance is not to be used for any
length of time, switch it off, empty it, clean
the cabinet and fittings, and leave the door
slightly open to allow air circulation and
prevent smells.
Replacing the light bulb
Max. 12 W
Unscrew the bulb without removing the
shade.
Bulbs with an output of more than 12 W
must not be used.
Save energy
- Cool hot food and beverages before
placing them in the refrigerator.
- Thaw frozen items in a refrigerator.
- Keep the door closed as much as
possible.
- Ensure that the door is not prevented from
closing tightly.
