General advice for the optimal operation of the appliance

General dangers

Hot surfaces

Before you put the appliance into operation

• Carefully study the user's manual and installation instructions before installing and using the appliance!

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 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.

After unpacking the appliance, carefully inspect that it has in no way been damaged. 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 or freezing food and for preparing ice.

• The temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer may rise or fall slightly, and so these appliances are not

suitable for storing products (e.g. medicines), which require a stable temperature.

Do not place food inside the refrigerator with  ammable propulsion gases (e.g. sprays) and no

explosives, contaminants or volatile substances. There is a danger of explosion!

Do not store liquids inside bottles and cans (especially beverages containing carbon dioxide) inside

the freezer compartment. The bottles and cans could crack!

• Store liquors only with a  rmly tightened cap and in a vertical position.

• Do not use the base, drawers, doors of the appliance, etc. as a step or as a support. There is a danger of

injury to persons or damage to the appliance.

• Ensure that the plastic parts of the appliance and the door seals are not soiled with oil or grease. The plastic

parts and the seals would then become porous.

• Do not consume frozen food immediately after taking them out of the freezer compartment. There is

a danger of frost bite!

Avoid prolonged hand contact with frozen food, ice or evaporating pipes. There is a danger of frost

bite and freezing to these objects!

We do not recommend placing hot liquids or dishes inside the refrigerator and  lling containers all the

way to the rim.

Do not put fragile, heavy or unstable objects on the refrigerator.

Children in the household

• Never leave packaging and its parts with the children. There is a danger of poisoning or su ocation by the

cardboard boxes and plastic sheets!

• This appliance is in no way a toy for children!

• For appliances with door locks: do not leave keys within the reach of children!

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 faults, 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 weather e ects.

 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Warning against danger

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 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.

EN - 9

12/2012

PART 4: SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

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

to the compressor. Turn the thermostat upwards or downwards and set the temperature inside the refrigerator.

Temperature set to the value "1" is the warmest, and the temperature set to "7" is the coldest.

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

Set the position from 1 to 7 for normal use. If you are not sure about the temperature, set it to 4.

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 controller.

PART 5: INSIDE LIGHTING

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

thermostat, the light will automatically come on when the door is opened and automatically turn o when

the door is shut.

Changing the light

1. Move the light cover in the direction of the arrow.

2. Remove the cover.

3. Screw out the  uorescent lamp and install a new one.

12/2012

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 are 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 food preparation 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 thermostat to the

value "6" 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 they do 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, etc. Never

place hot or warm food into the freezer. Allow food 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. Likewise, 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 are suitable for freezing.

 Freeze fresh food in appropriately sized portions.

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

 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.

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

(cooked or fried/baked).

EN - 12

12/2012

 Do not consume food that have been stored for a period longer than their 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 them 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,

deicing 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.

 As soon as the freezer has been fully defrosted, empty the water accumulated in the bowl into a kitchen

sink.

 Wipe the freezer area until dry and return the food.

 Connect the appliance to the power socket.

EN - 14

PART 8: 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 and the freezer

after each defrosting process.

 From both areas take out all the food and place them 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.

EN - 15

12/2012

Please be aware:

Compressor

The compressor is controlled by the thermostat, which is set by the temperature dial, 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...."

EN - 16

12/2012

PART 9: WHAT SHOULD I DO WHEN...

a) The appliance is not working.

Please check the following:

 Is the power plug in good condition and properly plugged into the power socket?

 Is there electricity  owing into the power cord? (Check this possibility by connecting a small appliance like

a hand mixer or hair fan, etc.)

 Is the appliance turned on? (The temperature selector should not be set to "0".)

 Is the mains fuse / circuit breaker in the home turned on or screwed in?

b) The appliance does not cool su ciently. / The compressor turns on too

frequently.

Please check the following:

 Did you leave the refrigerator/freezer o for at least 12 hours before turning it on? If not: Pull out the

power plug, with the doors closed tilt the appliance to one side and hold it or place it in a tilted position

and then back to the even position. After a period of 12 hours has passed, turn it on again, for this period

of time do not open the doors.

 When the doors close properly, the seal on the doors sits  rmly and evenly on the frame.

Test: Place a sheet of paper between the seal and the frame, then close the door. It should be di cult to

pull out this sheet of paper on all sides.

Call an authorised service centre if it is possible to pull out the paper without resistance at one or

more points.

 Formation of larger ice layers on the inside walls of the freezer.

 Is the appliance exposed to direct sunlight or is it located too close to a heat source (stove, heater, etc.)?

Protect the appliance against direct sunlight / check the distance from the heat source / place a sheet of

insulation between the appliance and the heat source. (See "Placement")

 Has the appliance been  lled with too much fresh food?

 Is the air circulation and ventilation in order? Check that the ventilation grill is not covered or that the heat

exchanger (condenser) on the rear side is not covered in dust.

c) The temperature in the refrigerator is too low.

 Set the temperature to a lower value.

 Check that the freezer section is properly closed.

 Was a larger amount of fresh food frozen - more than 1kg? This causes the freezing unit to run longer and

due to this the temperature in the refrigerator automatically goes down.

d) Frozen food is defrosting because the temperature in the freezer is too

high.

 Has the room temperature fallen below the temperature for which the appliance is designed? If the room

temperature is too low, the freezer unit runs less frequently. For this reason the temperature in the freezer

section may be higher. Increase the room temperature.

EN - 17

12/2012

e) A strong layer of ice has formed in the freezer.

 Check that the freezer section is properly closed.

 If the frozen food has frozen on to the freezer, pry them away using a dull object, e.g. with a spoon handle.

 Allow the freezer to defrost and then clean it out (see chapter Defrosting). An excessively thick layer of ice

reduces cooling capacity, which increases power consumption.

f) The appliance is too loud.

 Is the appliance standing  rmly on the  oor, is the operation of the appliance causing vibrations of nearby

furniture or other objects? Check that all the parts mounted on the rear wall can vibrate freely.
