Before Putting Into Use
•Before connecting the appliance to the mains
supply, leave it stand for about 2 hours,
which will reduce a possibility of malfunctions
in the cooling system due to transport
handling.
•Clean the appliance, and be thorough,
especially in the interior (See Cleaning and
Maintenance).
•In case the interior accessories are not
correctly placed, rearrange them as
described in chapter Description of the
Appliance.
Instructions for Use
These instructions for use are intended for the
user. They describe the appliance and its
correct and safe use. They were prepared for
various types of refrigerators therefore you
might find in it some functions that do not apply
to your appliance and description of the
accesories that your appliance does not
include.
Mounting Instructions
Integrated appliances are equipped with
instructions for mounting the appliance into the
kitchen unit. The appliance should be mounted
by qualified technician and instructions are for
his use only.
We Care for the Environment
•Our appliances are distributed in packaging
made of environmental friendly material
which could safely be recycled, disposed off
or destroyed, with no effects on the nature
whatsoever.

•When your appliance finally wears out,
please try not to burden the environment with
it; call your nearest authorised service agent.
(See Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance).
Tips for Energy Savings
•Try not to open the door too often, especially
when the weather is wet and hot. Once you
open the door,
close it as soon as
possible.
This is especially important if you
have
an
upright model.
•Every now and then check if the appliance is
sufficiently ventilated (adequate air
circulation behind the appliance).
•Use higher temperature settings only when
required or recommended.
•Before loading the appliance with packages
of fresh foods, make sure they are cooled to
ambient temperature.
•If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that
the sealing is poor, the energy consumption
is substantially higher. To restore efficiency,
replace the gasket.
•Always consider instructions stated in
sections Positioning and Energy Saving Tips,
otherwise the energy consumption is
substantially higher.
Important
•If you have bought this appliance to replace
an old one equipped with a lock that cannot
be opened from inside (lock, bolt), make sure
that the lock is broken. This will make
it impossible for children to lock themselves
inside the appliance and suffocate.
•The appliance must be correctly connected to
the mains supply. (see: Connecting to the
Mains Supply).
•Do not touch the cooled surfaces while the
appliance operates, especially not with wet
hands, because the skin may stick to the cold
surfaces.
•Do not freeze bottles containing liquid,
especially not soft drinks, such as mineral
water, sparkling wine, beer, cola etc.,
because liquid expands during freezing and
the glass bottle is very likely to blow up.
•Do not eat frozen food (bread, fruit,
vegetables), because you can get frostbites.
•If the food has strange smell or color, throw it
away, because it is very likely that it is
spoiled and therefore dangerous to eat.
•Disconnect the appliance from the power
supply before repairing it (only a qualified
technician should repair it), before cleaning
and before replacing the light bulb.
•Do not defrost the appliance with other
electric devices (hair dryer etc.) and never
scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp tools.
Use only enclosed tools or tools
recommended by the manufacturer.
•For the sake of environment protection - be
careful not to damage the rear wall of the
appliance (the condenser unit or the tubes -
for example when moving the appliance) or
any part of the refrigerating system inside the
appliance.
•The refrigerating system of the appliance is
filled with refrigerant and oil, so when the
appliance is damaged, handle it with care
and dispose it of in compliance with
environmental protecting precautions. (See
We Care for the Environment).
•
appliance, all around the rim, is controlled by
the operation of the compressor and it
prevents the door gasket freezing on to the
freezer housing.
•If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or his service
agent or a qualified person in order to avoid
hazard.
•The rating plate is inside the appliance or
outside on the rear wall.

Do not open the freezer in case of failure or
power supply interruption! In case the
interruption is extended over longer period of
time (16 hours), take food out of the freezer and
use it, or make sure that is sufficiently cooled
(perhaps you have an extra appliance).
Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance
•When your appliance finally wears out,
dispose it of. If the appliance has a lock,
break it, in order to prevent eventual
accidents (danger of children becoming
inside the appliance).
•The refrigerating system of the appliance is
filled with refrigerant and insulating
substances which should be separately
treated and processed. Call your nearest
authorised service agent or specialised

ventilated room. Allowed ambient temperature
depends on the model (class) of the appliance
and is stated on the rating plate of the
appliance. Never place the appliance near heat
emitting devices (e.g. cooker, radiator, water
heater or similar devices) and do not expose it
to direct sunlight. The appliance should be
positioned at least 3 cm away from the electric
or gas cooker and at least 30 cm away from the
oil or coal stove. If this is not possible, use an
appropriate insulation. Behind the appliance
there should be free space at least 200 cm
2
wide and above the appliance the high kitchen
units should be at least 5 cm away from the
appliance in order to assure adequate
ventilation of the condenser unit.

Use
Storing Fresh Foods
Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed
food, correct temperature and taking into
account hygienic precautions will substantially
influence the quality of the food stored.
•Foods to be stored in the refrigerator should
be properly packed as to prevent mixing
various moisture degrees and odors (in
polyethylene bags or sheet, aluminium foil,
wax paper, or stored in covered containers
or bottles). Before you store food in the
refrigerator, cool it to ambient temperature.
•Before storing food in the refrigerator,
remove the excessive packaging (like
yoghurt in multi-package).
•Pack systematically and make sure that
foodstuffs do not touch each other (various
odours may mix). Assure adequate air
circulation around packages.
•Never store inflammable, volatile or
explosive substances.
•Beverages with high alcohol percentage
shall be stored in tightly sealed bottles in
vertical position.
•Food should not touch the rear wall of the
refrigerator!
•Foods should be cooled down before storing.
•Crispy and delicate foods should be stored in
the coldest parts of the refrigerator.
•Some organic solutions like volatile oils in
lemon or orange peel, acid in butter etc. can
cause damages and when in contact with
plastic surfaces or gaskets for longer period
of time.
•odor inside the refrigerator is a
sign that something is wrong with foods or
that your refrigerator needs cleaning.
Unpleasant odor can be eliminated or
reduced by washing the interior of the
refrigerator with a mild solution of water and
vinegar. We also recommend using activated
carbon filters to clean the air or to neutralize
odors.
•If you plan a longer journey, make sure to
remove quickly perishable articles of food out
of the appliance before you leave.
•Try not to open the door too often.
•Set the temperature gradually as to avoid
freezing of the foods. Use a thermometer
and measure the temperature in the
individual compartments. Place the
thermostat in a glass vessel filled with water.
Temperature readings are most reliable few
hour after steady state is reached.

Freezing Fresh Foods
•Carefully select food you intend to freeze; it
should be of adequate quality and suitable
for freezing.
•Use correct packaging and wrap it right.
−The packaging should be air tight and
shouldn't leak since this could cause
substantial vitamin loss and dehydration
of foods.
−Foils and bags should be soft enough to
tightly wrap around the foods.
•When preparing foods to be frozen, consider
sanitary precautions.
•Mark packages with following data: kind and
amount of foods andthe date of loading.
•It is most important thatthe food is frozen as
quickly as possible. Therefore we
recommend the size of the package not to be
too large and to be cooled before loading
into the freezer.
•The amount of fresh foods that can be
loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is
indicated on the rating plate (freezing
capacity). If the loaded amount is too large,
the quality of freezing is reduced which
affects the quality of frozen foods.
Storing Frozen Foods
Packages of frozen foods are stored in the
basket. If you remove the baskets, you can
store frozen packages directly on the cooling
shelves.
Commercially Frozen Foods
The storage time and the recommended
temperature for storing commerciallyfrozen
foods are indicated on the packaging. For
storing and using consider the manufacturer's
instruction. When shopping, be careful and
choose only adequately packed foods provided
with complete data and stored in freezers
where the temperature is not higher than -
18°C. Do not buy packages of food covered
with frost layer. This indicates that the package
was thawed before at least once. Be careful
that packages don't start to thaw, as the
temperature raise reduces the quality of foods.

Defrosting of frozen foods
Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be
used as soon as possible. Cold air preserves
the food but it does not destroy microorganisms
which rapidly activate after defrosting and
make foods perishable. Partial defrosting
reduces the nutritional value of foods,
especially of fruits, vegetables and ready-made
meals.
Ice Making
1. Take out the ice maker.
2. Fill the ice maker with cold water or pure
water. Be careful not to exceed the water line ,
or the ice will not separate easily which causes
difficulty when taking out.
3. return the ice maker to the freezer.
4. when ice is solid , twist the rotary switch
clockwise then the ice will drop into the storage
box.
Caution: Do not fill water with other liquid in the
ice storage box .

Maintenance and Cleaning
Defrosting the NO FROST refrigerator
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator,
because ice depositing on the inner back wall
is defrosted automatically.
Periodic appearance of frost layer eventually
disappears automatically.
Defrosting the NO FROST freezer
Defrosting of NO FROST freezer is automatic.
Periodic appearance of frost layer eventually
disappears automatically.
Cleaning the Appliance
Disconnect the power supply before
cleaning the appliance.
Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning
agents as you can damage the surface. Be
careful to remove any cleanser agent
remaining after cleaning.
•Clean the exterior with water and detergent.
Varnished surfaces are cleaned with soft
cloth and an alcohol based cleaning agent
(for example glass cleaners). You may also
use alcohol (ethanol or isoprophylic alcohol).
The application of abrasive and specially
aggressive cleaners, such as the stainless
steel cleaners, is not appropriate for the
cleaning of plastic and coated parts.
•Remove the detachable accesories in the
interior of the appliance and clean it with
water and liquid detergent. Plastic parts
cannot be washed in washing machine.
•Wash the interior of the appliance with
lukewarm water, in which you added one or
two spoonfuls of vinegar.
After cleaning, connect the appliance to power
supply and reload the packages.
Switch Off the Appliance When Not In
Use
If you do not intend to use the appliance for a
longer period disconnect the power
supply, take out the foods and clean the
appliance. Leave the door slightly open.
Trouble-Shooting Guide
During the service, you can come across some
troubles that in most cases result from
improper handling of the appliance and can
easy be eliminated.
The Appliance Fails to Operate After
Connecting to the Mains Supply
•Check the supply in the outlet socket and
make sure the appliance is switched on.
Continuous Operation of the Refrigerating
System
•the door was frequently opened or it was left
opened for too long;
•the door is not properly closed (the door may
sag, the gasket may be polluted or
damaged);
•perhaps you have overloaded the appliance
with fresh foods;
•The reason may be inadequate ventilation of
the compressor.
The Freezer Door is Hard to Open
If you want to open the door that has just or
recently been closed, you may find it hard to
open. The reason why this happens is, that
when you open the door, warm air gets into the
appliance and when it is getting cool, the
underpressure seals the door. After few
minutes (1-3), the door can easily be opened.
Noise
Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is
enabled by the cooling system with
compressor, which produces noise. How noisy
the appliance is depends on where it is placed,
how it is used and how old the appliance is.
•During the operation of the compressor the
noise of liquid is heard and when the

17
compressor is not operating, the refrigerant
flow is heard. This is a normal condition and
it has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime
of the appliance.
•After starting the appliance, the operation
of the compressor and the refrigerant flow
may be louder, which does not mean that
something is wrong with the appliance and it
has no influence on the lifetime of the
appliance. Gradually the noise is reduced.
Sometimes unusual and stronger noise is
heard, which is rather unusual for the
appliance. This noise is often a consequence
of inadequate placing.
−The appliance shall be placed and
levelled firmly on solid base.
−It should not touch the wall or kitchen
units standing next to it.
−Check the accesories in the interior of
the appliance, they should be placed
correctly in their positions; also check
the bottles, tins and other vessels that
might touch each other and rattle.
