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.
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.
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.
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 put hot pot to the plastic parts of the
freezer.
Do not store flammable gas and liquid in the
appliance because they may explode.

Switch and indicator unit
See chapters 'Putting it into use', 'Controlling the
temperature' and 'Freezing' how to use the switch and
indicator unit.
Its parts:
a) Thermostat control knob
This is for setting and changing the temperature
inside the appliance.
b) Green lamp
This lamp gives light when the appliance is live i. e.
the mains plug is in the mains socket.
c) Red lamp
This lamp switches on depending on the
temperature inside the appliance.
It gives light for a short time when starting the
appliance, placing fresh food into it and when the
thermostatic control knob has been turned in
direction of lower temperature.
It gives light permanently when the temperature
inside the appliance is too high (overloaded with
warm food, door stayed open or the gasket does
not close properly) or possibly the appliance has
gone wrong.
d) Continuous operation (fast freezer) switch with
yellow lamp
When the switch is on (by pushing it moves
outwards and the indicator lamp gives light), the
compressor operates continuously and provides
the available coldest inside temperature that is
necessary for freezing this way.
e) Temperature display
It is for displaying the temperature inside the
freezer. The temperature is in °C.
Handling the appliance
Putting it into use
Put the plug into the mains socket. Turn the
thermostatic control knob according to the figure. This
time the red lamp starts giving light, the compressor
starts and cooling begins shortly.
When the red light goes out the temperature is
sufficient and the appliance is suitable for storing
frozen and deep-frozen foods.
GB
7
Controlling the temperature
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.
Setting the thermostat knob can be done practically
with a coin. Turning the control knob clockwise
cooling becomes more and more intensive.
In the appliance -18 °C or lower temperature can be
reached if the thermostat knob is set according to the
figure.
The thermostat can be switched off (0 position),
which means breaking the circuit of the compressor
i.e. stopping cooling.
The temperature coming about in the freezer is
effected by not only the position of the thermostatic
control and the ambient temperature, but frequency of
door openings and the quantity of food put into it, etc.
In maximum position of the thermostat - in case
of increased demand e.g. during heatwaves the compressor may operate continually. This does
not cause damages to the appliance.
Freezing
Freezing different products should always be done in
the freezing compartment after proper preparing.
Turn on the freezer switch (it moves outwards and the
indicator lamp gives light) 4 hours before freezing food
in small quantity and about 24 hours before in case of
products in bigger quantity. This time the compressor
operates continually to reach temperature necessary
for freezing.
Place the foods to be frozen in and operate the
appliance as written for about 24 hours.
After these turn off the freezer switch (push it and the
lamp will go out) and the appliance will operate again
in automatic mode.
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.

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 can shorten preparing
time.
Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under
running water then twist or hit it.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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
Bleeding part of the moisture of chamber in form of
frost and ice goes with the operation of the appliance.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it
reduces freezing efficiency as the temperature
increases in the chamber, it needs more energy, at a
certain thickness it does not allow the door of the
freezing compartment to open, possibly the door can
be broken.
When small frost and ice occurs scrape off and
remove frost and ice coating with the supplied frost
scraper.
The tray in figure is not a piece of accessories to the
appliance!
When ice coating is so thick that it can not be removed
with the frost scraper, defrosting is necessary. Its
frequency depends on usage.
How to defrost it:
Break the circuit of the appliance.
Take the frozen foods out of the appliance, and put
them into a basket lined with paper or cloth. Store
them in a possibly cool place or replace them into the
frozen or fresh food compartment of a refrigerator.
Leave the door open.
Sweep off the melting water occasionally with a cloth
or sponge in direction of sides which gathers in the
outlet channel practically formed in the bottom of the
appliance and can be removed as follows:
Snap out the plastic outlet and bend it in direction of
arrow. Put an adequately high bowl or dish under the
outlet.
The bowl in figure is not a piece of accessories to the
appliance!
Defrosting process can be made quicker by placing a
pot or bowl filled with warm water to the cooling plate
formed as a shelf.
Wipe the surfaces after defrosting and leading the
water out, bend the plastic outlet back and fix it.
Apply voltage to the appliance.
After the red light has gone out put the foods back.
