Before Use
Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, let it stand for 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 “How to Operate”).
In case the interior accessories are not correctly placed, rearrange them as described
in “Parts Diagram”.
Important
The appliance must be correctly connected to the power supply. (See: “How to
Operate”).
Do not use an extension cord.
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 soft drinks, such as mineral water,
sparkling wine, beer, soda 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 or cleaning (only a
qualified technician should repair it).
Do not defrost the appliance with other electric devices (hair dryer etc.) and never
scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp tools.
The rating plate is inside the appliance or outside on the rear wall.

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, please close it as soon as possible.
Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air
circulation around the appliance).
Set thermostat from higher to lower settings as soon as possible (may depend on
load capacity, ambient temperature, etc.).
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 defrost the appliance as soon as
the layer is 1/8” thick.
