This user's manual includes important information regarding the installation, operation and maintenance

of the appliance. Store the user's manual also for future reference, or for other owners of the appliance if

the appliance is sold.

If the appliance is transpor ted in a horizontal position the oil from the compressor may leak into the cooling

circuit. For this reason, allow the appliance to rest in a vertical position for 12 hours before turning it

on, so that the oil  ows back into the compressor.

After unpacking the appliance, carefully inspect that it has in not been damaged in any way. Also

check that the power cord is not damaged. If you discover any defects, turn o the appliance and

contact the vendor or in the case of a damaged power cord contact the service centre. If the appliance

and all its parts are in order, install it according to the instructions in the relevant chapter.

• When installing the appliance in its place, or when moving the appliance, the power cord could be

penetrated or damaged. Check that the power cord is not interfering anywhere.

• Before connecting the appliance to the electricity power source check that the capacity of the system

corresponds to the speci cations on the appliance's rating label.

• Any kinds of home electric wiring necessary for the connection of the appliance must only be carried out

by a quali ed electrician.

If you move the appliance from its usual position, it is necessary to understand, that although you

have disconnected the power cord, the components on the rear side of the appliance may remain very

hot for some time.

This appliance is not designed to be built-in. Do not cover or block the air in ow or out ow openings.

Insu cient ventilation will cause bad operation and damage to the appliance.

Operating the appliance

• Use the appliance only for the purposes for which it has been designed.

• This appliance is designed only for household use, for storing food.

Technical safety

The appliance contains a cooling gas, ISOBUTHAN (R600a). Only transport or move the appliance

with the utmost care, prevent excessive impacts and shaking to prevent damaging

the appliance. If the cooling circuit becomes damaged and the cooling gas may be escaping, there is a

risk of an explosion, which may be ignited by a spark or  ame. If the appliance shows signs of damage, it must

not be put into operation. In such a case contact the service centre, ventilate the room where the appliance is

located and prevent the spreading of  ames or other interference with the appliance.

Safety instructions for gas R600a

Measures in case of an unexpected release

If ventilation is possible, allow the material to evaporate.

Characteristics of the gas

The gas is highly  ammable, it is necessary to completely prevent contact with an open  ame and hot surfaces.

Because the R600a gas is heavier than air, it may become very concentrated at the level of the ground, where

ventilation is weak.

First aid

Inhalation

Take the a ected person from the contaminated area to a warm, well ventilated location. Staying in

a contaminated location for a long time may cause su ocation, or potentially loss of consciousness. If

necessary, provide mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and in exceptionally serious situations, under expert

medical supervision, give oxygen.

Contact with the skin

Random contact with the skin will not endanger health, it is better to thoroughly wash the a ected area. The

liquid spray or dispersed liquid may cause frost bite, wash the a ected area with large amounts of water and

contact a medical doctor.

Contact with the eyes

If eyes have been a ected, wash out with large amounts of water, while trying to keep the eyes open, and call

a specialised doctor as soon as possible.

If contact or inhalation of the R600a gas occurs, contact your medical doctor.

PART 3: INSTALLATION

TRANSPORT AND UNPACKING

If the appliance is transported in a horizontal position the oil from the compressor may leak into the cooling

circuit. For this reason, allow the appliance to rest in a vertical position for 12 hours before turning it on, so that

the oil  ows back into the compressor.

Remove the external packaging, remove the protective plastic  lm from the surface of the appliance (if used)

and clean the external parts of the appliance with an agent designed for this purpose. Do not use steel wool or

any coarse agents, which could irreparably damage the surface of the appliance. Carefully remove all papers

and adhesive tape from the appliance, door and other parts packed in polystyrene. Remove documents and

accessories from inside the appliance.

The packaging material is recyclable and is marked with a recycling symbol. For disposal follow the local

regulations. Packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.) must be kept out of the reach of children,

because they present a possible source of danger.

Carefully inspect the appliance. If you discover any defects, stop the installation and contact the vendor.

Operating conditions

The proper operation of the appliance, the cooling temperature are guaranteed only when the following

conditions are met:

 The temperature in the room where the appliance is located conforms to the climate class stated on the

appliance's rating label.

 Maximum ambient relative humidity: 90%.

 The appliance must be placed at a su cient distance from heat sources (e.g. baking ovens, central heating,

direct sunlight, etc.).

 The appliance must be located in such a place that it is protected against the e ects of weather.

 Regular maintenance is performed according to the instructions in this user's manual.

 The ventilation openings in the cover of the appliance must not be covered by anything.

 Correct installation (e.g. levelling, the capacity of the system correspond to the speci cations on the rating

label of the appliance.)

PLACEMENT

The location for the placement of the appliance must meet the requirements in the paragraph "Operating

conditions" and must have a stable  oor with a load bearing capacity corresponding to the weight of the appliance.

This appliance is designed to be built-in.

Furthermore you must maintain distances and dimensions of the appliance, so that correct operation

is ensured:

1. Top part at least 20 cm;

2. Rear part at least 10 cm;

3. The wall on the side where the door opens at least 30 cm.

Ventilation requirements

The area behind the appliance must provide for su cient air circulation.

Level the appliance using the adjustable feet, ensure there is a gap between the bottom edge of the appliance

and the ground, so that there is su cient circulation of the cooling air, by which you will ensure the optimal

performance of the cooling circuit.

Check whether any cooling circulation pipes have been damaged during the installation.

 Use the appliance only for the purposes for which it has been designed.

 The appliance must be located on a rigid and even surface.

In this way you will ensure free circulation of the coolant and e ective operation of your appliance.

 If possible, place the appliance into a cool, well ventilated and dry room.

 Do not locate the appliance in direct sunlight, or in a room with a high temperature, in the vicinity of any

sources of direct heat, such as heating, an oven, a stove, etc. – this would mean that the compressor would

need to work a lot harder resulting a substantially higher power consumption level.

If it is not possible to prevent the installation in the vicinity of a heat source, we recommend the insertion of an

appropriate insulating board (do not use asbestos) between the appliance and the heat source; or at least to

maintain the following minimum distances:

 From a gas or electric stove 5 cm;

 From a heater or oven, etc. 50 cm;

 From another cooling appliance 2 cm.

Do not place any appliances on the appliance, which release heat on to the appliance, such as microwave

ovens, toasters, etc.

EN - 8

06/2012

Never cover the ventilation grill. Pull out the power plug by pulling on the plug itself, never pull on the cord

when disconnecting the appliance.

Before turning on the appliance allow it to stand in its  nal location for 12 hours, the coolant circuit

will stabilise in this way and no operating problems will occur. Before connecting the appliance to the

power grid check that it is perfectly dry inside – especially in the corners.

Danger warning

The coolant may be highly  ammable, depending on its composition. The coolant circuit was

hermetically closed and sealed and was tested many times for possible leaks. Any unquali ed

tampering with the product may cause a  re hazard. Check that there is no mechanical interruption

or e ect on the coolant circulation, namely in the accessible parts around the compressor.

Only professionally quali ed persons may work on the cooling system.

CLEANING BEFORE USE

Check that you have removed from the appliance all adhesive tape used to hold accessories . Then clean all the

inside parts using lukewarm water with a neutral cleaning agent, vinegar or sodium carbonate – in this way

you will remove the characteristic odour of new parts – then dry carefully. Do not use detergents or aggressive

agents, which could damage the surfaces.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Before connecting the power plug to the power socket, check that:

 Your hands are completely dry.

 The voltage and frequency shown on the rating label of the appliance corresponds to that in the home

power grid (permitted tolerance from -6% to +6% for nominal voltage. For use with di erent voltages, use

a voltage changer with the corresponding parameters).

 The cord and the plug are not damaged or caught under heavy objects.

 The power cord is not excessively tensioned, it is not permitted to use an extension cord.

Do not connect the appliance to a voltage recti er (e.g. solar power plant) or use an extension cord.

The appliance must be connected to a working grounding lead.

If the power socket of the home system is not grounded in accordance with the current legal regulations,

connect the appliance after consulting a specialised technician to the grounding lead itself.

The manufacturer takes no responsibility for injuries caused as a result of not following these

instructions.

If you do not correctly level the refrigerator during the installation, the door may not close shut and

seal properly, which may cause problems with the cooling, or moisture. Levelling the refrigerator

is very important.

Level the refrigerator using the adjustable feet – turn them clockwise to lift the refrigerator and turn them

anticlockwise to lower the refrigerator.

CHANGING THE DOOR OPENING DIRECTION

If you need to change the door opening direction, contact an authorised service centre.

EN - 9

06/2012

PART 4: SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

Set the temperature in the refrigerator using the temperature control knob. The thermostat control module is

connected to the compressor. Turn the temperature control knob upwards or downwards and set the temperature

inside the refrigerator. Temperature set to the value "1" is the warmest, and the temperature set to "5" is the coldest.

The value "0" means that the refrigerator is o .

Set the position from 1 to 5 for normal use. If you are not sure about the temperature, set it to 3.

The temperature needs to be set based on:

 Temperature in the room where the appliance is located;

 Amount of food stored;

 Number of times the appliance is opened.

We recommend the middle settings. Soon you will  nd out the optimal setting for your requirements.

A correct temperature setting is important for storing food. Food spoil very quickly because of micro-

organisms, which is possible to prevent or delay by the use of a correct storage temperature. Temperature

a ects the growth rate of the micro-organisms. These process are slowed down by a declining temperature.

For this reason we recommend the middle settings of the temperature control knob.

NOTE:

 To achieve the desired temperature of the stored food it is recommended to allow the refrigerator

to run non-stop for 24 hours after it is  rst turned on – during this time limit the number of times the

door is opened to a minimum.

 After the refrigerator is turned o and disconnected from the power grid it is necessary to wait at

least 5 minutes before it is reconnected to the power grid – failure to follow this instruction may

damage the refrigerator's compressor.

PART 5: INSIDE LIGHTING

All appliances equipped with a light have a switch installed. When the refrigerator is turned on using the

temperature control knob, the light will automatically come on when the door is opened and automatically

turn o when the door is shut.

Changing a light bulb

1. Disconnect the appliance from the power source.

2. Press the hooks on the sides of the top part of the cover and take out the light bulb cover.

3. Replace the current light bulb with a new one with power not exceeding 15 W.

4. Attach the light bulb cover and after 5 minutes connect the appliance to the power source.

PART 6: ARRANGEMENT OF FOOD

 Food products, which are susceptible to the absorption of odours or that release odours must always be

stored in closed boxes or in appropriate packaging.

 Fruit, vegetables and salad products can be stored unpacked in the vegetable drawers.

 Appropriate wrapping materials for food is plastic wrap, aluminium foil, glass jars, etc.

 The products should not touch the back wall, otherwise they may freeze on.

 Always allow hot dishes to cool down before placing them into the refrigerator.

 Open the door only for a short time so that the inside area of the fridge is not heated. This saves energy.

 Never store explosive materials or products with  ammable compressed gasses (e.g. whipped cream

sprayers with pressurised capsules/cartridges, spray cans) – DANGER OF EXPLOSION!

 Do not place oils intended for the preparation of meals into the removable drawers in the refrigerator

door. This may cause cracks caused by the pressure in the plastic on the door.

 Alcoholic beverages must always be stored in the cold zone, in a vertical position and  rmly and safely

closed.

Advice about refrigerating food

While the air in the refrigerator circulates, areas with various temperatures arise. These areas are especially

useful for storing various types of food. Arrange the food in such a way that air can freely  ow around the food.

The coldest zones (suitable for example for storing meat) are found immediately above the vegetable drawers.

On the other hand the zones that are less cold are at the top towards the outside and inside the door (ideal for

storing butter and cheese).

PART 7: REGULAR MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the refrigerator

Before commencing to clean the refrigerator disconnect it from the power source.

Use a clean sponge or a soft cloth and a gentle washing detergent dissolved in warm water. Do not use coarse

or abrasive cleaning products.

Wash the refrigerator well and wipe dry.

Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated cleaning agents, bleaches or cleaning products containing kerosene

on the plastic or rubber parts.

Never use paper towels or window cleaners on the plastic parts.

Clean the inside of the appliance at regular intervals.

 We recommend that you clean the inside area of the refrigerator at least once per month.

 Take the food out and place it in a cool place.

 Remove all removable parts from the appliance.

 Various parts inside the refrigerator are generally not suitable for washing in a dishwasher. These parts

should be washed in warm water with dish washing detergent. Never use an undiluted cleaning detergent

and under no circumstances use abrasive or acidic, i.e. chemical cleaning agents. We recommend a general

purpose detergent with a neutral pH.

The use of steam cleaning appliances is extremely dangerous and so is strictly forbidden.

 Wipe the inside area and the accessories with clean water and dry everything using a dry cloth. Then allow

the appliance to ventilate for 3 – 4 minutes.

 Do not damage or remove the rating label on the rear side of the appliance – it is important for connection,

repairs and subsequent disposal of the appliance.

 Ensure that water does not come into contact with parts inside the appliance that are under live electric

current.

 Ensure that the water from the defrosting process can  ow away freely through the drainage channel.

From time to time clean out the drainage opening using a cotton bud.

 Cleaning water should not run through the drainage channel for defrosted water. This causes the

evaporation bowl to over ow and cleaning water  ows on to the  oor.

TAKING OUT OF OPERATION FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD

If you are not going to use the refrigerator for an extended period of time, do the following:

Disconnect the refrigerator from the power source by pulling it out of the power socket. Clean out the inside

and dry it out as described in the part Cleaning the refrigerator. Leave the door open to prevent an unpleasant

odour forming inside.

EN - 12

06/2012

Please be aware:

Compressor

The compressor is controlled by the thermostat, which is set by the temperature control knob, and turns itself

on automatically when temperatures inside the appliance is exceeded and then turns itself o as soon as it

again reaches this temperature. When any compressor – cooling system is turned on – noise can be heard.

These sounds are made when the motor in the compressor is working and they are also made by the coolant

circulating in the circuit of the cooling system. These noises are normal and do not indicate any malfunction in

the operation of the appliance.

In unheated rooms or in cold weather conditions condensate may form on the exterior walls of the appliance.

This does not indicate a malfunction and this condensate will disappear as soon as the temperature rises.

Contact the service department only when, after analysing all possible factors of the malfunction you

cannot  nd any cause for the malfunction or you are unable to remedy the malfunction yourself. So,  rst focus

on: " What should I do when...."

NOTE:

The refrigerator is defrosted automatically during the refrigeration process. Water is drained through

an opening in the rear side of the refrigerator into an evaporation container, where it is automatically

evaporated. To ensure that the automatic defrosting function of the refrigerator works correctly, keep

the opening and the area around it clean and unclogged. If it becomes soiled, clean out this part without

delay, or pour 1/2 glass into the opening if necessary.
