Important safety information
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 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.
Without the lamp cover of interior lighting you must not
operate the appliance.
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 and lighting box.
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 put hot pot to the plastic parts.
Do not store flammable gas and liquid in the appli-
ance, because they may explode.
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.
See chapter "Placement".
For the safety of life and property keep the
precautions of these user's instructions as
the manufacturer is not responsible for damages
caused by omission.
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 stor-
age compartments of the appliance, unless they are
of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not store carbonated drinks, bottled drinks and
bottled fruits in the frozen food compartment.
Check and clean the outlet of melting water coming
during defrosting regularly - a label inside the appliance warns you for this. If it is clogged the melting
water gathered can cause earlier failure.

Handling the appliance
Putting it into use
Place the accessories into the refrigerator then plug to the
mains socket. To start cooling turn the control dial on the
right-hand side of the fresh food compartment from „0”
clockwise according to the figure. In „0” position the appliance is out of operation.
The next paragraph will give instructions for setting.
Controlling the temperature, setting
The thermostatic controller interrupts the operation of the
appliance automatically for more or less time depending
on the setting then restarts it assuring the required temperature.
Turning the control knob towards the bigger numbers
cooling becomes more and more intensive.
In the freezer -18 °C or lower temperature can be
reached, if the thermostatic control knob is set to the
„Medium” (approx. 2-3) position. In this case the temperature developing automatically in the freezer is about +5
°C or lower. „Medium” position (2-3) is usually adequate
for everyday use.
The temperature coming about in the refrigerator is effected by not only the position of the thermostatic control but
the ambient temperature, frequency of door openings and
the quantity of food put into it newly, etc.
In the maximum i.e. „6” position - in case of
increased demand e.g. during heatwaves - the
compressor may operate continually. This does not
cause damages to the appliance.
How to use the cooling compartment
Developing interior air circulation is necessary for
adequate cooling. For this reason you are asked
not to cover the whole surface of the wire shelves with
paper, trays, etc.
Storing in the refrigerator
When placing the different kinds of food take into consideration the sketch below in figure:
1. Butter, cheese
2. Eggs
3. Tubes, cans, sour cream, small bottles
4. Drinks in big bottles, soda-water and mousse
siphon
5. Fruits, vegetables, salads
6. Fresh meat, cold cuts, sausages, etc.
7. Milk, dairy products
8. Ready-cooked foods, confectionery, foods in
dishes covered, opened cans, bottles laid, etc.
Storage time and temperature of
foods
The storage time chart at the end of the instruction book
gives information about storage time.
The storage time can not be determined exactly in
advance, as it depends on the freshness and handling of
the cooled food. That is why the storage time made known
is only informative.
If you do not want to use up deep-frozen foods bought
immediately they can be stored for about 1 day (until dissolving) in the refrigerator.
Do not put hot food into the refrigerator. Allow it
to reach room temperature naturally. In this way
unnecessary frost building up can be avoided.
Foods can take over odours from each other.
So it is essential to put foods in closed dishes
or wrap them in cellophane, aluminium foil, greaseproof paper or cling film before placing them into the
refrigerator. This way foods will keep their moisture
e.g. vegetables will not dry out after some days.

How to use the freezer
Freezing
In the compartment various fresh food can be frozen at
home. Mind the following to get thorough result.
Freeze fresh and faultless food only.
Before starting freezing set the thermostatic control knob
to position „3” and put the wire shelf in the frozen food
compartment to the highest position. Then put in the
quantity to be frozen, directly on the wire shelf. Freezing is
completed in approx. 24 hours. After 24 hours set the
thermostatic control knob back to „Medium” (2-3) position, or leave that in position „3” which is usually adequate
for everyday use. It is practical to store the frozen food on
the cooling plate or on each other under the wire shelf in
the frozen food compartment.
Avoid opening the door of frozen food compartment
during freezing if possible.
It is not expedient to set the thermostat knob to
higher (e.g. „6”) position. Freezing time could be
reduced this way, but the temperature of the fresh food
compartment would go beyond 0 °C permanently, which
would cause freezing to foods and drinks stored there.
Never freeze food in bigger quantity than given
in the „Technical data” at the same time, otherwise freezing will not be thorough and after dissolving various deterioration may take place (losing taste
and aroma, lysing, etc.).
Do not make ice during freezing preferably,
because making ice reduces freezing capacity.
Storing in the freezer
After finishing freezing it is practical to put the frozen food
from the wire shelf in the frozen food compartment to the
place under that making room for a next possible freezing.
Adjustment of the wire shelf in the frozen food compartment („2” positions) can be used only during storing, as
freezing can be done only at the highest position of the
wire shelf. Food already stored is not damaged by another freezing.
(The goods when are put directly on the cooling plate
freeze too fast!)
Do not forget to keep to the storage time given on
the packaging of frozen products if you buy them
frozen. To store home-frozen products see the storing
instructions placed in the door of the freezer. Symbols signify the various foods, numbers mean maximum storing
time given in months.
It is safe to store quick-frozen, frozen foods only if
they have not dissolved even for a short time until
placing them into the freezer.
If the deep-frozen food has already dissolved, refreezing is
not recommended, it has to be used up as soon as possible.
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 position can shorten preparing time.
Some useful information and
advice
The variable shelves are worth paying attention to,
which increases the usability of the fresh food compartment considerably. Rearranging the shelves is
also possible when the door is open at an angle of
90°.
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 above -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.
How to save energy
The colder the ambient temperature of the appliance
is the less energy it uses.
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.
Do not leave the door open longer than necessary
and avoid unnecessary openings.
Put foods into the appliance only in a closed dish.
Put warm foods into the appliance only when they are
at room temperature.
Keep the condenser 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
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.
After finishing do not forget to reset the thermostatic control to the suitable position.
Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under running
water then twist or hit it. If the ice tray freezes to the compartment, avoid using metal tools or knife to take it out as
the cooling system can be damaged.
