ENEN 1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read this operating and maintenance manual
carefully. We suggest to keep the guide into your
possession during the entire life cycle of the product.
After delivery, immediately check the appliance for
possible transport damage and make sure it works
properly. All safety devices must be present and
functional before operating the appliance.
Do not leave children without supervision.
Ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
In the case of appliances provided with locks, the key
must be kept at a site where children cannot have
access to it to avoid unintentional locking.
The appliance always has to be transported and
displayed vertically.
The appliance is designed for inside use only.
The surroundings should not transcend the following
conditions (based on a standard environment):
• 25°C temperature
• 60% humidity
• 0,2 m/s air speed
1.1.INSTALLATION AND USE

EN
EN
EN
Keep a minimum distance of 10 cm between the
appliance and neighbouring surfaces (walls, roof,
furniture etc.).
Keep clear of obstructions all ventilation openings in
the appliance enclosure or for built-in structure.
Before connecting the device, check:
• The power rating (on the type plate)
• The relevant local electrical safety regulations
Do not use an extension cord to connect the
appliance to the electrical circuit.
Make sure that power cable and plug are
undamaged before connecting the appliance. The
damaged cable can only be replaced with a cable
identical to the original part.
2Hrs
After delivery, keep the appliance in a warm ambient
temperature for 2 hours before starting it.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the storage
compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the
type recommended by the manufacturer.

ENEN Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol
cans with a flammable propellant in the appliance.
The user is solely responsible for damages to
properties or products, or injuries to persons resulting
from careless and improper use of the appliance.
Do not expose the appliance into direct sunlight.
Do not heat the appliance to more than 70°C.
1.2.DEFECTS
Only authorised service specialists may perform
work on the electrical and refrigeration systems.
If this is not observed, all warranty and liability claims
become invalid.
Damaging the refrigerant circuit can lead to severe
injuries. Do not damage the refrigerant circuit!
1.3.WHEN OUT OF USE
Make sure that the appliance is thoroughly cleaned

2. PUTTING INTO OPERATION
2.1.INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT!
Never move the appliance by grasping the edge of the glass sides.
Position the device where it is protected from sunlight and other heat
sources, since operation may be disturbed if the ambient temperature
exceeds +25°C.
• The appliance should not be operated in rooms where the
temperature drops below +10°C since this disrupts the lubrication
of the compressor.
Leave at least 10 cm space between the appliance’s side walls/roof/back
and neighbouring surfaces such as other devices, walls, furniture and ceiling to
provide free air flow behind the device to enable proper operation.
If the furnishing of the room allows positioning only close to the heat source
the following minimum clearances must be kept:
• Put a 0.5-1 cm thick insulation board between two devices if they
are 3 cm or less apart.
• Min. 30 cm from oil or coal-fired ovens.
IMPORTANT!
If the humidity is above 60%, condensation may occur on the glass.
2.2.ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The appliance may be connected to 220-240 V,50 Hz mains via properly
mounted grounded socket. Check if the voltage meets the local voltage and
make sure that the connecting cable isn’t stuck anywhere.
A fuse/circuit breaker of 10 A is required for the operation of the appliance.
• If the connection cable is damaged or it has to be extended, the
job must be done by a qualified electrician to avoid the dangerous
situations.
Do not use an extension cord! The appliance must be positioned in a way
that the main plug is easily accessible.

Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight, HVAC outlets or near heat-
producing appliances (like ovens, boilers and heaters).
The appliance reaches its top efficiency when it works 24/7, do not switch it
off during the night.
Keep your appliance clean and well maintained: dust on the condenser or
any unsolved problem can cause increased energy consumption.
Fill the appliance according to the prescribed instructions to allow energy-
efficient operation.
Wipe goods dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on
moisture build-up inside the appliance.
Turn off the interior lighting of the appliance for the night.
Maintain and clean the appliance in a proper way. If the condenser coil is
not cleaned at least 2 times per year, the efficiency of the appliance will
decrease significantly.
Use the ECO frame provided with ECO models to increase the efficiency of the
appliance*.
