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, doors 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 and freezing 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 3 cm;

 From a heater or oven, etc. 30 cm;

 From another cooling appliance 2 cm.

EN - 8

06/2012

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

ovens, toasters, etc.

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 performance 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 doors may not close shut and

seal properly, which may cause problems with the cooling, ice build up 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.

• After the water has frozen, remove the ice cubes from the tray by twisting the tray in the middle (see

picture).

Bottle holder (depending on the model)

To prevent spilling bottle contents or tipping them over when opening the door, use the bottle holder.

At the same time this prevents the undesirable bottle clinking noise that is made when opening or closing the

refrigerator door.

Defrosting the refrigerator

• 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.

EN - 12

06/2012

Defrosting the freezer

WARNING!

Do not use sharp objects for the removal of frozen food or ice, the wall of the freezer could be

scratched.

Ice deposit layers form in the freezer during the normal course of operation. Ice deposit layers need to be

removed regularly (e.g. using a plastic scraper).

After exceeding a certain thickness (as a rule 3-5 mm), the ice layer functions as an insulator and interrupts

heat transfer.

• Set the temperature control knob to „5“ a day before you plan to defrost the freezer to ensure that food is

completely frozen.

• Take out the frozen food and wrap into several newspaper layers. A sudden increase in temperature could

shorten its lifetime. If the food partially defrosts then it is necessary to consume such food as soon as

possible.

• Set the temperature control knob to „0“, turn o the appliance and pull out the power cord from the power

socket.

• Leave the door open to speed up the defrosting process. Remove the released frost layer from the freezer.

• This appliance is equipped with a special water drainage system.

1. Pull out the bottom freezer drawer and place it on the  oor so that it is level with the front part of the

appliance.

2. Pull out the drain hose located in the rear part of the appliance. Then place it into the channel in the front

part and the appliance and allow the water to  ow out.

3. If water remains on the bottom of the freezer, use a sponge to remove it.

• Wipe the inside surface using lukewarm water with a little kitchen dishwashing detergent. Do not use

coarse cleaning agents, petrol, thinners or other similar cleaning substances.

• Wipe the inside surface with a dry and clean wiping cloth, connect the power cord plug to the power

socket and turn the temperature control knob to position „5“. After 24 hours, set the temperature control

knob to the required value.

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).

Storage of frozen food

If you have turned on the refrigerator for the  rst time or you have just defrosted it, turn the temperature

control knob to the value "7" at least for 2 hours before putting food into the refrigerator or the freezer.

All frozen food must be put into the freezer as soon as possible after being bought, so that it does not defrost

and cause potential contamination.

Store frozen products according to the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.

Pay increased attention to handling the drawer, so that you do not damage the cooling circuit.

Placing fresh food into a freezer

Ensure that the freezer is clean as the freezing process itself does not sterilise food. We recommend freezing

food in the original packaging, or in various containers suitable for freezing or in special freezer bags. Never

place hot or warm dishes into the freezer. Allow dishes to fully cool down before placing them into the freezer,

wrap them in a plastic bag, aluminium foil or put them in a jar. Check the label on the freezer, to check how

many kilos of fresh food (at a room temperature of 25°C) the freezer is able to freeze in 24 hours. Never insert

more food than the permitted amount.

Never place bottles with  zzy drinks into the freezer nor any other bottles.

For better freezing results give the food su cient room for air circulation.

We recommend a setting between the medium and maximum value for standard use and for long term food

storage in the freezer.

ATTENTION!

 Do not store cans and bottles with beverages containing carbon dioxide in the freezer. The contents

expand during the freezing process, which may rip the bottle or can apart. Risk of injury and damage!

 Consume ice cream only several minutes after removing it from the freezer – you will avoid injury to your

lips and tongue. Do not touch the inside of the freezer if you have wet hands.

Important information

 Place only properly wrapped food into the freezer.

 When storing deep frozen food intended for immediate consumption, note the expiry date marked by the

manufacturer.

 Remember that only quality fresh food is suitable for freezing.

 Freeze fresh food in appropriately sized portions.

 Ensure that you use an appropriate wrapping material (plastic wrap, aluminium foil, freezing bays, etc.).

 Push all air out of the packages.

 To close the packages use rubber bands, plastic clips, tie wire or adhesive tape resistant to cold.

 Plastic bags and tubes can also be closed using a food sealing appliance.

 On the closed package write down the contents, weight and date of freezing.

 Before placing plastic bags into the freezer check that they are dry so as to prevent them from freezing to

each other.

 To prevent partial defrosting, place the food that is to be frozen in such a way that it is not touching the

already frozen food.

EN - 16

06/2012

 Do not refreeze fully or partially defrosted food apart from the case where they were heat processed

(cooked or fried/baked).

 Do not consume food that has been stored for a period longer than its expiry date. You may cause yourself

food poisoning.

PART 7: DEFROSTING

Disconnect the power cord from the power socket. Open the doors and take out all the food and place it in

a cool place. Using the plastic scraper remove the ice from the walls of the freezer or allow the ice to naturally

melt away. Then wipe out the remaining ice and water, wipe dry and connect the power cord to the power

socket.

ATTENTION!

 Do not use sharp objects for the removal of frozen food or ice, the wall of the freezer could be scratched.

 When defrosting a freezer never use electric appliances such as hair fans, hot air fans, steam cleaners, de-

icing sprays or open  ames (e.g. candles). The plastic interior could melt and the resulting foam gas could

be ignited from a spark or an open  ame. Never use a steam cleaner to melt a layer of ice in the appliance

(high risk of injury by electrical shock).

 Remove the frozen food and wrap into several newspaper layers.

 Place the frozen food in a cold place until it is possible to use the freezer again.

 Leave the freezer door open.

 Ice deposit layers form in the freezer during the normal course of operation. After exceeding a certain

thickness, they function as insulation and interrupt heat transfer.

 Do not scratch the ice deposit layer because you could damage the evaporation surface.

 Perform the defrosting process as fast as possible to prevent the removed food from defrosting.

 Constantly remove water using a sponge.

 You can speed up the defrosting process by placing a bowl with hot water (not boiling) into the freezer. In

this case close the freezer door.

PART 8: REGULAR MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the appliance

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 and the freezer

after each defrosting process.

 From both areas take out all the food and place it in a cool place.

 Remove all removable parts from the appliance.

 Various parts inside the refrigerator/freezer 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.
