GUIDELINES CONCERNING
THE SAFETY OF USE
• The appliance is intended for household use only.
• The manufacturer reserves the right to introduce
changes which do not aect the operation of the ap-
pliance.
• Some provisions in this user manual are unied for
refrigerating products of dierent types (for a refrig-
erator, refrigerator-freezer or freezer)
• The Manufacturer shall not be held liable for damage
arising from the failure to observe the instructions
contained in this manual.
• Keep this manual for future reference, or to pass it
over to the next user.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (in-
cluding children) with limited physical or mental ca-
pabilities and persons who lack experience or famili-
arity with the appliance.
• Do not allow children to use the appliance. Do not
allow them to play with the appliance. They must not
climb inside the drawers and swing on the doors.
• The appliance operates properly at the ambient tem-
perature (see product che). Do not use it in the cel-
lar, unheated summer cottage during autumn and
winter.
• When placing, moving, lifting the appliance, do not
hold the door handles, do not pull the condenser at
the rear part of the refrigerator and do not touch the
compressor unit.
• When transporting, moving or positioning the
fridge-freezer do not tilt it by more than 40° from

the appliance should be switched on after minimum
2 hours from its replacement in the right position
(g.2).
• Pull the plug out from the mains socket before each

- 8 -
maintenance activity. Do not pull on the cord, but
hold the body of the plug instead.
• The “cracking” sound, which the appliance may emit
is caused by the expansion and contraction of parts
as a result of temperature variations.
• For safety reasons do not repair the appliance your-
self. Repairs carried out by persons who do not have
the required qualications may result in serious dan-
ger for the user of the appliance.
• Air the room in which the appliance is placed for a few
minutes (the size of the room for a product contain-
ing isobuthane/R600a must be at least 4m3) to avoid
damage to the cooling system.
• Do not refreeze partly thawed products.
• Do not store beverages in bottles and cans, especially
carbonated beverages, in the freezer chamber. The
cans and the bottles may explode.
• Do not put frozen products, taken out directly from
the freezer (lollies, ice cubes, etc.) into your mouth,
their low temperature may cause severe frostbite.
• Make sure you do not damage the cooling system,
by puncturing the refrigerant pipes in the evaporator
or breaking the pipes. The refrigerant is ammable.
If the refrigerant makes contact with the eyes, rinse
them with clean water and call for medical assistance
immediately.
• If the power wire gets broken, it should be replaced
with a new one in a specialist repair shop.
• This appliance is intended for food storage, do not
use it for other purposes.

and older or by persons with physical, mental or sen-
sory handicaps, or by those who are inexperienced
or unfamiliar with the appliance, provided they are

- 9 -
supervised or have been instructed how to safely use
the appliance and are familiar with risks associated
with the use of the appliance. Ensure that children
do not play with the appliance. Cleaning and main-
tenance of the appliance should not be performed by
children unless they are 8 years or older and are su-
pervised by a competent person.
• WARNING: Do not use mechanical devices or oth-
er means to accelerate the defrosting process, other
than those recommended by the manufacturer.
• WARNING: Do not use electrical appliances inside the
food storage compartments of the appliance, unless
they are of the type recommended by the manufac-
turer.
• If the socket does not match the refrigerator plug,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similar qualied persons in order to avoid a
hazard.
• In order to obtain more space in the freezer, you can
remove the drawers and place the food directly on the
shelves. This has no eect on the product mechanical
properties and cooling performance. Declared freezer
capacity was calculated with the drawers removed.
WARNING: Risk of re / ammable
materials
• Children aged from 3 to 8 years are allowed to load
and unload refrigerating appliances.
• WARNING: When positioning the appliance, ensure
the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.

OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS
Storage of food in the fridge-freezer
• The products should be placed on plates, in containers or packed in
food wrap. Distribute them evenly over the shelves.
• If the food contacts the rear wall, it may cause frosting or wetting of
the products.
• Do not put dishes with hot food into the fridge
• Products which absorb avours easily such as butter, milk, white
cheese and products with intense avour, such as sh, smoked meat,
hard cheese must be placed on shelves, packed in food wrap or in
tightly sealed containers.
• The storage of vegetables containing signicant quantities of water
will cause the deposition of condensation on the vegetable contain-
ers, it does not impact on the proper functioning of the fridge.
• Before putting the vegetables into the fridge, dry them well.
• Excessive moisture shortens the shelf life of vegetables, especially
the leafed vegetables.
• Do not wash the vegetables before storing in the refrigerator. Wash-
ing removes the natural protection, therefore it is better to wash the
vegetables directly before consumption.
• It is recommended to place the products in freezer drawers 1, 2, 3*
up to natural loading capacity (Fig. 11a / 11b).**
1. Packed products
2. Shelf
3. Natural loading capacity
4.
!
• Stacking of products on the freezer shelves is acceptable.*
• It is acceptable to place products beyond the natural loading capacity
by 20-30 mm.**
• In order to increase the loading capacity of the freezer chamber and
allow the stacking of products on the freezer evaporator wire shelves
up to maximum height it is possible to remove drawers 1 and 2.*
Freezing food**
• Practically all the food products, except for vegetables consumed
raw, such as lettuce can be frozen.
• Only food products of the highest quality, divided into small portions
for single use, should be frozen.
• Products should be packed in materials that are odourless, resistant
to air and moisture penetration, and not susceptible to fat. Plastic
bags, polyethylene and aluminium sheets are the best wrapping ma-
terials.
• The packaging should be tight and should stick to the frozen prod-
ucts. Do not use glass containers.
• Keep fresh and warm foodstu at ambient temperature away from
the products, which have already been frozen.
• We advise you not to place more of fresh food at a time to the freezer
per day (see table witch technical specication).

- 19 -
• In order to maintain optimum quality of the frozen food, reorganise
the food that is in the middle of the freezer, so that it does not touch
the products that are not yet frozen.
• It is recommended that you move the already frozen products to one
side and place the fresh products that are to be frozen on the oppo-
site side, as close to the rear and side walls as possible.
• To freezing products, use space marked
!
.
• Bear in mind that the temperature in the freezer is aected by sev-
eral factors, including the ambient temperature and the quantity of
food products in the chamber, the frequency of opening the door, the
amount of frost in the freezer, and the thermostat setting.
• If you cannot open the freezer door immediately after closing it, al-
low 1-2 minutes for the negative pressure to compensate, and try
again to open the door.
The storage time for frozen products depends on their quality before
freezing when fresh, and on the storage temperature. The following stor-
age periods are recommended when the temperature of -18°C or lower
is maintained:

Veal 3-6
Giblets 1-2
Pork 3-6
Poultry 6-8
Eggs 3-6
Fish 3-6

USING THE REFRIGERATOR
EFFICIENTLY
Practical everyday tips
• Do not place fridges or freezers next to radiators, heaters, stoves or
in direct sunlight.
• Make sure that air vents are not covered up and clean the dust o
them once or twice a year.
• Select the right temperature: 6 to 8°C in your refrigerator and -18°C
in your freezer is sucient.
• When on holiday, turn up the temperature in your fridge.
• Only open your fridge or freezer when necessary. It helps if you know
what food each contains and where it is located. Return food to the
fridge or freezer as soon as possible after you have used it so that it
does not warm up too much.
• Wipe the inside of your fridge regularly with a cloth soaked in a mild
detergent. Appliances which are not self-defrosting will require regu-
lar defrosting. Do not allow frost layers thicker than 10 mm to form.
• Keep the seal around the door clean, otherwise it will not shut prop-
erly. Always replace broken seals.
