General safety precautions
Keep these instructions and they should remain at the appliance when moving away or changing owner.
This appliance is designed for storing and freezing food, domestic use according to these instructions only.
Specialised companies that are qualified to do so by the manufacturer must carry out service and repairs including repairing and changing the power cord. Accessory parts supplied by them should be used only for repairing. Otherwise the appliance can be damaged or can cause other damage or injury.
The appliance is out of circuit only in that case if the plug is removed from the socket. Before cleaning and maintenance always unplug it (do not get it by the cable). If the socket is difficult to reach, switch off the appliance by cutting off the current.
Power cord must not be lengthened.
Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the back of the fridge/freezer.
- A damaged power plug may overheat and cause
a fire.
Do not place heavy articles or the fridge/freezer itself on the power cord.
- There is a risk of a short circuit and fire.
Do not remove the power cord by pulling on its lead, particularly when the fridge/freezer is being pulled out of its niche.
- Damage to the cord may cause a short-circuit,
fire and/or electric shock.
- If the power cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by a certified service agent or qualified service personnel.
If the power plug socket is loose, do not insert the power plug.
- There is a risk of electric shock or fire. When cleaning, defrosting, taking out frozen food
or ice tray do not use sharp, pointed or hard devices, as they can cause damage to the appliance.
Be careful not to allow liquids to the temperature control, switch gear and indicator respectively.
Ice and ice-cream can cause hurt if they are eaten immediately after removal from the frozen food compartment.
After dissolving frozen food must not be refrozen, it must be used up as soon as possible.
Store pre-packed frozen food in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer's instructions.
You must not make defrosting faster with any electric heating appliance or chemicals.
Do not make hot pot touch the plastic parts of the freezer.
Warning: if you place frozen foods on top of the product, the interaction of cold and vapor may produce water condensate in the space below the
top. If such water condensate drips on the electric components placed in that space, a short-circuit may occur and damage the product. Therefore it is forbidden to place frozen foods on top of the product.
Do not store flammable gas and liquid in the appliance because they may explode.
Do not put carbonated drinks, bottled drinks and bottled fruits into the freezer.
Precautions for child safety
Do not allow children to play with the packaging of the appliance. Plastic foil can cause suffocation.
Adults must handle the appliance. Do not allow children to play with it or its controlling parts.
If you are discarding the appliance pull the plug out of the socket, cut the connection cable (as close to the appliance as you can) and remove the door to prevent playing children to suffer electric shock or to close themselves into it.
Safety precautions for installation
Put the appliance to the wall to avoid touching or catching warm parts (compressor, condenser) to prevent possible burn.
When moving the appliance take care of the plug not to be in the socket.
When placing the appliance take care not to stand it on the power cord.
Adequate air circulation should be around the appliance, lacking this leads to overheating. To achieve sufficient ventilation follow the instructions relevant to installation.
Safety precautions for isobutane
Warning
The refrigerant of the appliance is isobutane (R600a) that is inflammable and explosive to a greater extent.
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit. Do not use electrical appliances inside the food
storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.

Transportation, unpacking
It is recommended to deliver the appliance in original packaging, in vertical position
considering the protective warning on packaging. After each transportation the appliance must not be
switched on for approx. 2 hours. Unpack the appliance and check if there are
damages on it. Report possible damages immediately to the place you bought it. In that case retain packaging.
Cleaning
Remove every adhesive tape, which ensure the parts not to move in the appliance.
Wash the inside of the appliance using lukewarm water and mild detergent. Use soft cloth.
After cleaning wipe out the inside of the appliance.
Placement
The ambient temperature has an effect on the energy consumption and proper operation of the appliance. When placing, take into consideration that it is practical to operate the appliance between ambient temperature limits according to the climate class that is given in the chart below and can be found in the data label.
Class of climate Ambient temperature
SN +10 ... +32 °C
N +16 ... +32 °C
ST +18 ... + 38 °C
If the ambient temperature goes below the lower data the temperature of the cooling compartment can go beyond the prescribed temperature.
If the ambient temperature goes beyond the upper data this means longer operating time of the compressor, increasing temperature in the freezer or increasing energy consumption.
When placing the appliance ensure that it stands level. This can be achieved by two adjustable feet (1) at the bottom in front. 1-1 piece of distance washers (2) are accessories of the adjustable feet. If levelling the appliance requires, these washers can be removed.
Do not stand the appliance on a sunny place or close to a radiator or cooker.
If it is unavoidable because of furnishing and the appliance has to be stood near a cooker take these minimum distances into consideration:
In case of gas or electric cooker 3 cm must be left, when it is less put a 0,5 - 1 cm non-flam insulation between the two appliances.
In case of oil or coal-fired stove the distance must be 30 cm since they give off more heat.
The refrigerator is designed to operate when it is totally pushed to the wall.
When placing the refrigerator keep minimal distances recommended in figure.

Operation and use
Installation
Insert the plug into the socket. In order to switch on the product, turn the thermostat (B) to a temperature lower than << -16°C >>. The green, yellow and red indicators will light up. The lighting up of the on/off indicator (A) means that the product is switched on. The yellow indicator lights continuously indicating an uninterrupted refrigeration for 5 hours (it can be switched off manually after 2 hours). The red indicator lights continuously indicating an improper temperature in the freezing compartment. You can switch off the freezer by turning the thermostat (B) in position << >>.
When the product is switched on for the
first time, the quick freeze function will start automatically and will stop only 5 hours later. You can manually switch off this function any time by pressing the quick freeze (D) switch.
Adjusting the temperature
The internal temperature of the freezer is regulated electronically through five temperature positions and a switch-off << >> setting.
Position << -16°C >> indicates the highest (least cold) temperature, while position << -24°C >> is for the lowest (coldest) temperature. Rotate the thermostat in the desired position.
In general, it is best to set the thermostat to << -18°C >> but, for the purpose of temperature setting, you should also consider
the temperature of the room where the product is installed,
the frequency of door openings, the volume of food to be stored in the product, the location of the product.
Therefore, you should consider all these factors and you may have to do some testing for finding the best temperature. If you want a lower temperature, turn the thermostat into a position of higher number or, vice versa, if you need a higher temperature, you should set a position of lower number. Please allow 24 hours for the freezer temperature to stabilize between two adjustments.
Alarm (red) indicator
The temperature alarm indicator (E) will light up when the internal temperature of the freezer increases to a level (above -12°C) where the long­term conservation of the foods in not ensured. Please note that, when switching on the freezer for the first time, the alarm indicator will keep on lighting until the internal temperature has reached a level required for the safe conservation of frozen food.
Temperature problem:
Under normal operating conditions, the internal temperature of the freezer will ensure the long-term conservation of the stored food. When such temperature rises above a certain level (-12°C), it will trigger an acoustic and light alarm. The light alarm is a continuous red light (E), while the acoustic alarm is an intermittent sound. You can stop the acoustic alarm by pressing switch (D) once.
Freezing
Prepare the various foods properly and then freeze them always in the freezing compartment. For maximum freezing performance remove the freezer tray and baskets and then place the foods to be frozen directly on the evaporator. In case of freezing smaller food volumes you do not need to remove the freezer tray and baskets.
For using the quick freeze function, press the quick freeze on/off switch (D) for 2-3 seconds; in the case of small and great food volumes you should do it approx. 4 and 24 hours, respectively, before you want to freeze the fresh food. The yellow indicator (C) will light up. The compressor will operate continuously until the product reaches the freezing temperature.
Once the food is completely frozen (it may take up to 24 hours) you can manually switch off the quick freeze function by pressing the switch (D) for 2-3 seconds. If not switched off manually, the quick freeze function will be automatically switched off 48 hours later. The yellow indicator (C) will also go out.
The freezing tray can be used for freezing small fruits (raspberry, strawberry, currant, etc.). Place a thin layer of the unpacked fruits in the tray. Once they are frozen, the fruits can be packed, sorted and placed in the storage boxes.
Storing
It is practical to replace frozen products into the storing compartments (cages) after freezing has finished so that to make room in the freezing compartment for another freezing.
Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods already stored.
How to make ice cubes
To make ice cubes fill the enclosed ice cube tray with water and put it to the frozen food compartment. Wetting the bottom of the tray and setting thermostatic control knob to maximum stage can shorten preparing time. After finishing do not forget to reset the thermostatic control to the suitable stage.
Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under running water then twist or hit it.
Some useful information and
advice
After opening and closing the door of freezer vacuum will rise inside the appliance because of the low temperature. So wait 2-3 minutes after closing the door - if you want to open it again ­while inner pressure equalises.
Take care of operating the freezer at a position of thermostatic control so that the inside temperature can never go beyond -18 °C, since temperature higher than this can deteriorate frozen foods.
It is practical to make sure of faultless operation of the appliance daily so as to notice possible failure in time and prevent deterioration of frozen foods.
After a power failure the product will restart and the quick freeze function will be switched on. If not switched off manually, the quick freeze function will be automatically switched off 5 hours later. When the quick freeze function is switched off, the yellow indicator (C) will go out.
Hints and ideas
In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given about how to use the appliance to reach maximum energy saving and there is environmental information about the appliance as well.
How to save energy
Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place and near anything that gives off heat.
Be sure that the condenser and the compressor are well ventilated. Do not cover the sections where ventilation is.
Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film to avoid building up unnecessary frost.
Avoid products put in the freezer compartment to touch foods already frozen.
Do not leave the door open longer than necessary and avoid unnecessary openings.
Put warm foods into the appliance only when they are at room temperature.
The condenser must be kept clean.
The appliance and environment
This appliance does not contain gasses which could damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant circuit or insulation materials. The appliance shall not be discarded together with the urban refuse and rubbish. Avoid damaging the cooling unit, especially at the rear near the heat exchanger. Information on your local disposal sites may be obtained from your municipal authorities.
The materials used on this appliance marked with the sympol are recyclable.
Maintenance
Defrosting
It is a normal phenomenon that a part of the internal humidity is turned into frost and ice during operation. However, a thick frost or ice layer has an insulating effect and thus reduces the freezing performance leading to rising internal temperatures and higher energy consumption and, above a certain layer thickness, to difficulties in the opening or sudden break of the freezer door.
If the formation of frost and ice is not significant, use the spatula (accessory) to remove or scrape off the frost or ice layer.
Please note that the tray shown in the figure is not an accessory.
If the frost or ice layer is too thick for removal with the spatula, defrosting will be necessary. The frequency of defrosting depends on the actual use.
To defrost the product: Set the thermostat to position << >>. Disconnect the product from the mains. After removing them from the freezer, place the
frozen foods in a basket padded with paper or cloth and kept in a cool place, or relocate them into the deep-freezing or cooling compartment of a normal fridge.
Leave the door open. From time to time use a cloth or sponge to sweep off
laterally the defrost water so that it can be collected in a drain at the bottom of the product and then remove the water as follows:
37
GB
38
GB
Place a tray of sufficient height in front of the product. Following the arrow, carefully pull out the defrost
water drain, located in the central bottom section of the product, to let the defrost water flow into the tray.
The defrosting process will be quicker if you put a pan filled with hot water on the cooling plates used as shelves.
Once defrosting is completed, dry the wet surfaces and push back the defrost water drain.
Connect the product to the mains. Rotate the thermostat to position <<-18°C>> and let
the product operate in quick freeze mode for at least 2 hours before putting back the formerly removed frozen foods.
Regular cleaning
It is practical to clean the inside of the freezer and defrost it at a time.
Household cleaner or soap must not be used. After breaking the circuit wash the appliance using
lukewarm water and wipe it.
Clean the door gasket with clean water. After cleaning apply voltage to the appliance. It is recommended to remove the dust and dirt
collected on the back of the appliance and the condenser once or twice a year.
When the refrigerator is not in use
If you do not use the product for longer periods, make sure to perform the following:
Set the thermostat to position << >>. Disconnect the product from the mains. Remove all foods from the product. Perform defrosting and cleaning operations as
described above. Leave the doors ajar to avoid the build-up of
unpleasant odors.
Trouble shooting
During operation of the appliance some smaller but annoying trouble can often occur, which does not require calling a technician out. In the following chart information is given about them to avoid unnecessary charges on service.
We draw your attention that operation of appliance goes with certain sounds (compressor- and circulating sound). This is not trouble, but means normal operation.
We draw it to your attention again that the
appliance operates discontinuously, so the stopping of compressor does not mean being no­current. That is why you must not touch the electrical parts of the appliance before removing it from the mains socket.
Problem
The appliance does not cool sufficiently
The appliance cools too hard The appliance does not cool
at all
The appliance is noisy
Possible cause
Thermostatic control is set too low. Before freezing the appliance was not precooled
sufficiently. Large-sized food was put in. Too many foods to be frozen were put in. Warm foods were put in. Door is not shut properly. The thermostatic control is set too high. Plug is not connected to the mains socket
properly. There is no voltage in the mains socket. Thermostat set to "0" position. The appliance is not supported properly.
Solution
Set higher position. Pre-cool the appliance for enough time. Cut up food. Put fewer foods to be cooled. Put foods max. at room temperature. Check if the door is shut.
Set lower position. Check if the connection is proper.
Check if there is voltage. Check thermostat setting. Check if the appliance stands stable (all the four
feet should be on the floor).
Inasmuch as the advice does not lead to result, call the nearest brand-mark service.
Operation failure
When the electronic system fails to detect the ACTUAL temperature, the alarm indicator will start to flash. The product will continue to operate with the use of a reserve system until the problem is eliminated by the local service personnel.
