PREPARING THE APPLIANCE FOR OPERATION

! It is recommended to prepare the appliance for operation with a helper.

• Remove package. Lift the appliance away from foamed polystyrene base. Do not rise or push it
taking by handles. Handles may break. Tear off adhesive tapes.

• When positioning the appliance in chosen location, it will move more easily into position if you lift
the front a little and incline it backward, allowing it to roll on its casters.

◄Remove all red-coloured parts from the shelves. Tear away the red­coloured adhesive tapes from the door trays – they
are intended only for the transport of the appliance.

• Suitably dispose the packaging material.

• Take two supports from the bag and insert them

into the guides at the top back part of the
appliance ►

POSITIONING. VENTILATION

• Place the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room.

• ATTENTION! The appliance should not be operated in an unheated room or

porch. Place the appliance away from heat sources such as kitchen stove/oven,
radiators, or direct sunlight.

• ATTENTION! The appliance must not touch any pipes for heating, gas or
water supply, or any other electrical devices.

• Do not cover the ventilation holes at the top of the appliances– it must be a good
air circulation body and any furniture that may be above it. If this requirement is
not followed, the appliance consumes more electrical energy and its compressor
may overheat ►

◄ Overall space required in use of the freezer. If the appliance is placed in a
corner, a gap of at least 1 cm must be left between the appliance body and the wall.

• The appliance must stand on a level surface and must not touch the wall. If
necessary, regulate the height of the appliance by adjusting the levelling feet: by
turning them clockwise – the front of the appliance rises, by turning them counter
clockwise – it comes down. If the appliance is tilted slightly backward – the doors
will close by themselves.

TEMPERATURE REGULATION

The temperature in the refrigerator compartment is controlled using the thermostat knob 4 (fig. 1) by
turning it to one side or the other. The temperature indication in digits is shown beside the thermostat
knob. The temperature is regulated on the scale:

0 = Compressor is switched off. WARNING! Electric current is not switched off.
1 = highest temperature (lowest cooling) 5 = lowest temperature (highest cooling)

If food products in the refrigerator compartment are too cold, set the thermostat knob to 1, 2 or 3.
If food products in the refrigerator compartment are not being chilled sufficiently, set the thermostat
knob to 4 or 5 - 7.

! Please set the desired temperature in the appliance according to your own requirements.
! THE TEMPERATURE IN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT MAY VARY DEPENDING ON AMBIENT

TEMPERATURE, THE AMOUNT OF FOODSTUFFS, THE TEMPERATURE OF THE FOODSTUFFS, AND
HOW OFTEN THE APPLIANCE DOOR IS OPENED AND CLOSED. Therefore we recommend:

• locate the appliance away from heat sources,

• food placed in the appliance should not be warmer than the room temperature,

• appliance door must not to be left open,

• the appliance door should not be open longer than it is necessary to take out or put in foodstuffs.

! IF THE ROOM IS COOL, THE APPLIANCE COOLS LESS. THE TEMPERATURE IN THE APPLIANCE MAY
THEREFORE RISE. Use the thermostat wheel to set a lower temperature.

DEFROSTING OF THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically. Drops of ice that form on the back wall of the
refrigeration compartment thaw during the time the compressor is not working and the thaw water
runs down the thaw water runoff channel to the tray on top of the compressor, where it evaporates.

CLEANING AND CARE

! REGULARLY CLEAN THE APPLIANCE.
! Remember that before defrosting the freezer compartment and cleaning the back part of
the appliance body you must disconnect the appliance from the electrical energy supply
socket by pulling the plug out of the electricity outlet.

• Clean the appliance inner surfaces with warm soapy water. Dishwashing detergent may also be
used. Wipe dry inner and outer surfaces.

• Regularly clean the hermetic gaskets of the doors. Wipe dry.

• Regularly wash the trays and other accessories.

• WARNING! REGULARLY CLEAN THE THAW WATER CHANNEL SPACE WITH A SPECIAL CLEANER

FOR THAT PURPOSE 10 (Fig. 1).

• At least once a year clean dust away from the back part of the appliance body and the compressor.
A soft brush, electrostatic cloth or vacuum cleaner may be used for cleaning.

• DO NOT use detergents containing abrasive particles, acid, alcohol or benzene for cleaning the
appliance inner and outer surfaces.

• DO NOT use for cleaning cloths or sponges that have coarse surfaces intended for scrubbing.

Practical tips and observations

• Do not keep bananas in the refrigerator – these fruits are sensitive to cold.

• Do not keep prepared food and ready-to-cook (“heat and eat”) food in the same container.

• Store in an airtight container in the appliance any foodstuffs that have a strong odour (e.g. fresh

fish, pâté de foie gras goose liver pâté, and cheese).

• IF THE APPLIANCE IS TO BE LEFT SWITCHED OFF FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD, LEAVE ITS DOORS
OPEN.

Remarks on the appliance operating noise

As the appliance operates and goes through the freezing cycle, various noises will be emitted. This is
normal and is not a sign of any malfunction.

• As the refrigerant circulates around the refrigeration system, it causes sounds like murmuring,
bubbling, or rustling.

• Louder sounds like popping or clicking may be heard for a short time as the refrigerator’s
compressor switches on.

OPERATION PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS (TROUBLES HOOTING)

What if …

• The appliance is plugged in to the mains but it does not work and the electricity supply
voltage indicator is not illuminated. Check that your house electricity supply installations are in

order. Check that the plug is correctly inserted into the electricity supply socket.

• The noise has become louder. Check that the appliance is standing stable, on a level place. To
make it level, regulate the front feet. Check if the appliance is not touching any furniture, and that
no part of the refrigeration system at the back part of the appliance body is touching the wall. Pull
the appliance away from any furniture or walls. Check that the cause of increased noise isn’t due to
bottles, cans or dishes in the appliance that might be touching each other.

• Water has appeared at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment. Check whether a thaw
water channel space isn’t blocked. Clean the thaw water channel space with a cleaner intended for
that purpose.

• Water has appeared on the tempered glass shelves. Food items or dishes in the refrigeration
compartment are touching the back wall of the compartment. Do not let food items or dishes touch
the back wall.

• Water has appeared under the appliance. The thaw water collection tray has slipped off the
compressor. Place the tray on top of the compressor.

• When the appliance door is opened, the rubber sealing gasket pulls out. The gasket is
smeared with sticky foodstuffs (fat, syrup). Clean the sealing gasket and the groove for it with
warm water containing soap or dishwashing detergent and wipe dry. Put the rubber sealing gasket
back into the place.

• High temperature in appliance, the compressor operation pauses are short. Ascertain
whether the appliance door is shutting tightly, whether the door wasn’t kept open longer than
necessary when taking out or putting in foodstuffs, or whether a large amount of warm food was
placed in the appliance.

• The top of the appliance has condensation on it. The ambient relative air humidity is above
70 %. Ventilate the room where the appliance stands, and if possible remove the cause of the
humidity.

! IF YOUR APPLIANCE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, ASCERTAIN WHETHER YOU CAN REMEDY THE
CAUSE OF THE FAULTY FUNCTIONING OF THE APPLIANCE YOURSELF. If you cannot solve the
problem yourself, contact the nearest
refrigerator service representative by
telephone or in writing. When
making contact, necessarily indicate
the refrigerator model 1 and number

2. You will find this data on the

product label, which is glued to the
left wall of the refrigerator
compartment, near the fruit and
vegetable trays.

TRANSPORT

! THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE THAT

RESULTS FROM NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION.

• The appliance should be transported only in the vertical position.

• When being transported, the appliance should be protected from atmospheric conditions (rain,

snow, dampness).

• The appliance should be firmly secured in place while being transported, to avoid slippage or any
shocks in the transport vehicle.

• If the appliance was transported not vertically, it may be connected to the mains after 4 hours at
least. If this is not done, the appliance compressor may fail.
