Appliance description

• The appliance should be installed in a dry and well ventilated
room. The appliance will operate correctly if the environment
temperature is within the ranges listed in the table below.
The appliance class is indicated on the label with the basic
information on the appliance.
Class Ambient temperature
SN (subnormal) from +10°C to +32°C
N (normal) from +16°C do +32°C
ST (subtropical) from +16°C do +38°C
T (tropical) from +16°C do +43°C
Appliance installation should be carried out by at least two
persons to avoid any physical injury or damage to the appliance.
• The appliance should stand fi rmly in an upright position on a
suffi ciently solid base. At the front, the appliance is fi tted with
two adjustable legs that can be used to level the appliance.
• If there is a kitchen furniture element above the appliance,
there should be a clearance of at least 5 centimeters between
this element and the refrigerator, to ensure suffi cient cooling of
the condenser unit.
• Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight and do not
place it near sources of heat. If this cannot be avoided, install
an insulation panel.
• The appliance may stand freely or it can be placed next to a
kitchen furniture element or a wall. Mind the space required to
open the door and pull out the drawers and shelves.
Selecting the room
Installing the appliance

mains. The wall outlet should be fi tted with a ground contact
(safety socket). Nominal voltage and frequency are indicated
on the label with basic information on the appliance.
• The appliance should be connected to the power mains and
grounded in compliance with the relevant effective standards
and regulations. The appliance will withstand short-term
deviations from the nominal voltages, but not more than from
-6 % to +6%.

Operating the appliance

• To set the desired temperature, rotate the A dial in clockwise
direction, i.e. to the right.
• A change in the environment temperature will affect the
temperature in the appliance. Adjust the setting with the A
dial accordingly. Positions towards the thicker part of the
sign mean a lower temperature in the appliance (cooler).
Settings towards the thinner part of the sign mean a higher
temperature (warmer).
• If the temperature of the room where the appliance is installed
is below 16°C, we recommend setting the A dial temperature
to the thickest part of the sign.

Appropriate use of the appliance, appropriate food
packaging, maintaining the appropriate temperature
and observing the hygienic guidelines will affect
decisively the quality of food storage.
Observe the best before dates indicated on the
product packaging.
Food stored in the refrigerator should be placed in
closed containers or otherwise suitably packed to
prevent emitting scent and moisture.
Do not store infl ammable, volatile, and explosive
substances in the refrigerator.
Bottles with high alcohol content should be tightly
sealed and stored in an upright position.
Some organic solutions, essential oils in lemon and
orange peel, butter acid, etc. may damage the plastic
surfaces in case of a prolonged contact, causing
premature ageing of these materials.
Unpleasant smell warns of poor appliance cleanliness
or deteriorated food (see Cleaning and Maintenance).
Remove perishables from the refrigerator before a
longer period of absence from home.
The equipment depends on the models.
• The shelves can be inserted to any of the shelf guides in the
refrigerator interior. Food that perishes quickly should be kept
at the back of the shelf where the temperatures are lower.
• The bin / drawer at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment,
under the glass shelf, is intended for storing fruit and
vegetables. It provides humidity, thus preventing the food from
dehydrating. The food must be appropriately packaged in
order to prevent emitting or receiving smell and moisture.
• Interior side of the refrigerator door is fi tted with racks and bins
intended for storing cheese, butter, eggs, yoghurt, and other
smaller packages, tubes, cans, etc. The lower part of the door
is fi tted with a bottle rack.

The refrigerator does not require defrosting, as ice accumulated on the
back wall of the refrigerator compartment interior is melted automatically.
The accumulated ice is thawed when the compressor is not
operating. The drops will drip through the opening in the
refrigerator back wall into a container above the compressor,
from where they will evaporate.
If an excessive layer of ice is accumulated on the refrigerator
back wall (3-5 mm), the appliance should be disconnected and
defrosted manually.
Automatic refrigerator
defrosting
Before cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the power
mains - rotate the thermostat knob A to the position and
unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Use a soft cloth to clean all surfaces. Cleaners containing
abrasive particles, acids, or solvents, are not appropriate
as they will damage the surface.
Clean the appliance exterior with water or a mild solution of
suds.
Lacquer-coated and aluminum surfaces can be cleaned with
lukewarm water to which some mild detergent was added.
Cleaning agents with minor alcohol content are also acceptable
(e.g. window cleaners).
Cleaners with alcohol content are not allowed for cleaning plastic parts.
Clean the appliance interior with lukewarm water to which you
may add some vinegar.
• Placed under the cooling board that cools the refrigerator
interior are a trough (groove) and an opening through which
melted water is discharged from the appliance interior. The
through and the opening should never be blocked; therefore,
check them often and clean as required (e.g. using a plastic
straw).
• After cleaning, switch on the appliance and put the food back
in.

Troubleshooting

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGES THAT TO NOT
AFFECT THE APPLIANCE FUNCTIONALITY.
14
Cooling in the refrigerators-freezers is enabled by a cooling system with a compressor (with some
appliances also a fan), which emits a certain level of noise during operation. The level of noise
depends on installation, proper use, and appliance age.
• After appliance startup, the compressor may be somewhat louder (fl uid noise, noise caused by
refrigerant fl owing through the system). This is not a sign of malfunction and it will not affect the
appliance useful life. Eventually, the level of this noise will be reduced.
• Occasionally, sudden or louder noise may appear during appliance operation, which will
appear uncommon; these are mostly the result of improper installation:
- The appliance must be placed horizontally and fi rmly on a solid base.
- The appliance should not be in contact with the wall or adjacent elements.
- Make sure the appliance interior equipment is appropriately fi tted and that the noise is not
caused by vibrating cans, bottles, or other containers in contact with each other.
