Before using the appliance for the first time
Before connecting the appliance to the
power mains, please read carefully the
instructions for use which describe the
appliance and its correct and safe use.
The instructions apply to several appliance
types/models; thus, settings or equipment
may be described herein which is not
available in your appliance. We recommend
saving this instruction manual for future
reference and attach it to the appliance if it
is sold in the future.
Check for any damage or irregularities on
your appliance. If you find your appliance is
damaged, notify the retailer from which you

cause eye injury or fire.
In case of a gas leak, ventilate the room thoroughly,
disconnect the appliance from the power mains, and call a
service technician.

Advice for saving power with refrigeration appliances
• Install the appliance as specified in the instruction manual.
• Do not open the door more often than necessary.
• Occasionally make sure air circulation underneath the appliance is unobstructed.
• Condenser unit on the rear wall should be kept clean (see chapter ‘Cleaning the Appliance’).
• If the gasket is damaged or does not provide a perfect seal for any reason, have it replaced
as soon as possible.
• Store the food in tightly sealed containers or appropriate packaging.
• Before placing the food in the refrigerator, allow it to cool down to room temperature.
• Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator compartment.
• Make sure the layout of shelves in the compartment is uniform and that the food is placed
so that the air can freely circulate in the appliance interior (observe the recommended
placement of food as described in the instructions).
• Do not block the fan slots or vents.
INTRODUCTION

EN 11
Do not place an appliance in a room where
temperature can drop to below 5 °C as this may
cause abnormal appliance operation or failure!
Installation and connection
Selecting the room
• Install the appliance in a dry and well ventilated room. The appliance will operate correctly if
the environment temperature is in the interval specified in the table. The appliance class is
indicated on the rating plate / label with the basic information of the appliance.
Class Temperature Relative Humidity
SN (subnormal) from +10 °C to +32 °C
≤75%
N (normal) from +16 °C to +32 °C
ST (subtropical) from +16 °C to +38 °C
T (tropical) from +16 °C to +43 °C
INTRODUCTION
• After the installation, the appliance mains plug should be accessible!
Note: Place the appliance in a sufficiently large room. There should be at least
1 m3of space per 8 grams of refrigerant. Amount of refrigerant is indicated on the rating plate in
the appliance interior.
• At the base of the kitchen unit intended for building in the integrated appliance, there should
be at least 200 cm2free space, for adequate air circulation.
On the upper part of the appliance the air is coming out, so try not to cover the opening for
the outflow air. Ignoring this caution may result in damage to the appliance.
Warning: when installing built-in appliances into a cupboard or cabinet in a side-by-side layout,
the dew prevention installation kit should also be purchased and installed. For safety reasons,
dew prevention kit may only be installed by an authorized service technician!

EN 12
INTRODUCTION
Connecting the appliance
• Connect the appliance to the power mains using the power cord.
The wall outlet should be fitted with a ground contact (safety
socket). Nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the rating
plate/label with basic information of the appliance.
• The appliance must be connected to the power mains and
grounded in compliance with the effective standards and
regulations. The appliance will withstand short-term deviations from
the nominal voltage, but not more than +/- 6%.
Changing the door opening direction and integrating the appliance into a cabinet
The process of changing the appliance door opening and integrating the appliance into a cabinet

The indicator for the selected temperature will be lit.
C Intensive cooling (boost) function indicator
The Csymbol will be lit when the intensive cooling function is activated.
D High temperature indicator
To set the appliance temperature or activate extra functions, press the Akey successively. When
the key is first pressed, the currently set value or function will start to flash. With each successive
press of the key, the indicator moves to the next setting. The indicator cycles through the settings
in a circular manner, from right to left. While the settings are being adjusted, the display will flash.
Three seconds after the key is released, the setting will be stored automatically and the relevant

Switching the appliance on/off
Switching the appliance on: Press the Akey and hold it for 3 seconds.
Switching off the appliance: Again press the Akey and hold it for 3
seconds. The appliance will be off, but there is still voltage in it as it is
still connected to the power mains.

EN 15
Adjusting the temperature in the appliance
• The factory default setting is the recommended temperature of 4 °C.
• After the appliance is switched on, it may take several hours for
the set temperature to be reached. Do not place any food into the
refrigerator before the temperature drops to the selected setting.
• Adjust the temperature as desired using the Akey.
• Press the Akey (several times) until the desired temperature
indicator lights up.
• When the Akey is pressed for the first time, the currently set value
or function will start to flash. Every successive time you press the A
key, the settings indicator will move to the next setting (from right to
left, in a circular manner).
• After three seconds, the setting will stop flashing. Your setting will
be stored and the corresponding indicator will be continuously lit.
The numbers 2, 4, 6 and 8 indicate the degrees Celsius (°C) in the
appliance refrigerator compartment.
• The recommended temperature setting is +4 °C. At this
temperature, food quality and freshness are preserved longer.
• If the ambient temperature in the room where the appliance is
installed is below 16 °C, we recommend setting a temperature lower
than 4 °C.

EN 16
Intensive cooling (boost) function
• To activate the intensive cooling (boost) function, press the Akey
several times until the symbol Clights up.
• When the intensive cooling function is activated, the appliance will
operate with maximum power. During this time, operation may be
somewhat louder.

hours before adding a large amount of food.
• If any other function is selected while the intensive cooling function is active, the intensive
cooling function will be deactivated immediately.
• To switch off the intensive cooling function, press the Akey to select the desired temperature
B. If the intensive cooling function is not deactivated manually, it will be automatically
switched off (after approximately six hours), and the temperature will return to the most
recently set value.

High temperature alarm
If the temperature inside the appliance is too high, acoustic alarm will
be activated (intermittent tone) and the Dsymbol will flash.
• Every time the appliance is switched on, there is a 24-hour delay
in high temperature alarm operation as it takes some time for the
appliance to reach the adequate temperature. Thus, unnecessary
activation of the alarm is prevented.
• To acknowledge and turn off the acoustic alarm, press the Akey. If
the alarm is not deactivated manually, it will be sounded for the first
five minutes of every hour.
