Before you turn the refrigerator on.
• When placing, moving or lifting the refrigerator, do not hold the door handle, do not pull
the condenser at the back of the refrigerator, and do not touch the compressor unit.
• The refrigerator operates properly in the ambience temperature from +16°C to
+32°C. Do not use it in cellars, vestibules, and in summerhouses not heated in fall
and winter.
• After placing the refrigerator, wait two hours before you turn it on, for it could have
been excessively tilted in transport.
• Make sure children do not use the appliance unattended. Do not allow children play
with the appliance. Children are not allowed to swing on the doors.
• Expanding and shrinking of parts caused by temperature changes causes
crackling sounds that may be heard.
• Before any maintenance activity, pull the plug out, do not pull the cord but hold
firmly the plug.
• Do not use double-wire extension cords; if an extension cord is necessary, make
sure it is a cord with protection safety certificate.
• If the main power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by a serviceman.
• Because of safety reasons, do not repair the appliance by your- self.
Repairs carried out by persons without proper qualifications can cause serious
risk of injury for the user.
• Defrosted products, even only partially, should not be frozen again.
• Do not store beverages in bottles and cans, especially carbonated beverages,
in the freezing chamber. The bottles and cans could break.
• Do not put products straight from the freezer in the mouth (ice cream, ice cubes,
etc.). Their very low temperature can cause severe burns.
• If the appliance is not to be used any more, make it completely safe prior to
scrapping by cutting the cord.
• Keep the packaging material (bags, Styrofoam pieces, etc.) out of reach of
children.
• Should the refrigerating unit be damaged, air the room for a few minutes (the
room should have at least 4 cubic meters).
• The cooling agent can cause eye injury.
• The refrigerator should not be transported, moved, or placed in horizontal
position and tilted more than 40ˇ. Should such a situation occur, after placing
the appliance in the right position wait at least 2 hours before turning it on.

Product Characteristics
Single-compressor refrigerators (Phot.1) are designed for household use.
The refrigerator chamber should be used exclusively for storage of fresh grocery
products and the freezer chamber for freezing fresh produce, storage of frozen food,
and making ice cubes only.
The refrigerators are designed for operation in the ambient temperaure from
+16°C to +32°C.
The elements of the cooling system of the appliance are locatedMbehind the back wall
of the chamber in order to maximize the capacity of the chamber, facilitate keeping
the chamber clean and
increase durability of the product (protecting from potential damage).
Shelves are made of safe tempered glass (Phot.2).
They can be cleaned the normal way or in dishwashers.
Special construction of the frames for the glass shelves (Phot.2) makes it possible to
adjust the distance between the shelves.
In order to change the distance between the shelves:
• take out the frames,
• place the glass the printed side facing down,
• re-install the frames adjusting the distance between the shelves as needed.
The photographs present 2 examples of placing the shelves in the refrigerator.
• distance between the shelves decreased (Phot.3),
• distance between the shelves increased (Phot.4).

Before You Start
Placement of the product
• Unpack the product; remove the tape securing the door and the accessories. Remove
the remains of the glue, if any, with delicate cleaning detergent.
• Do not throw the Styrofoam element of the packaging away. Should you have to
transport the product again, secure the refrigerator with the Styrofoam elements, the
plastic foil, and Scotch tape.
• Wash the inside of the refrigerator chamber and the accessories with lukewarm
water with some dishwasher liquid and then wipe it and dry.
• Place the refrigerator in a dry, ventilated place, out of sun, far from such heat sources
as the oven, central heating radiators, etc.
If it is impossible to place the refrigerator away from a heat source, use an appropriate
insulation board or make sure the distance from the refrigerator is:
- at least 3 cm from electric or gas cookers,
- at least 30 cm from oil or coal-fired stoves.
• If you place the refrigerator next to another refrigerating of freezing unit, the lateral
distance between the appliances
should be at least 2 cm.
• Once placed, make sure the refrigerator is not standing on the power supply cord.
• No adjustments of the cooling unit are allowed. Make sure that the capillary tube,
located in the recess of the compressor, is not damaged (Phot.6 (1)). The tube cannot
be deformed, straightened, or coiled.
Damage of the capillary tube by the user waives the guarantee of the refrigerator.
• For easy opening of the refrigerator door the distance between the side (the hinges
side) and the room wall should be at least 5 cm.
Connection to the power supply system
• We advise setting the temperature control dial to „0” before the connection.
• The appliance should be connected to a system of alternating current, 230 V / 50
Hz, through a properly installed socket.
Operation
Temperature control
• Setting the control dial to one of selected positions automatically adjusts the tempe-
rature both in the refrigerator and in the freezer.
There are 8 settings of the control dial:
„0” - the appliance is off
„1” - the highest temperature in the refrigerator and the freezer (warmest)
„2” to „6” - intermediate settings
„7” - the lowest temperature in the refrigerator and the freezer (coldest)
• Do not overfill the refrigerator and the freezer chambers before they are
cooled down.

24
Operation
Storage of produce in the refrigerator
• Produce should be placed on plates, in containers or packaged with food wrap.
Place it evenly on the shelves. Make sure the food is not touching the back wall - it
could lead to frosting or wetting of the products.
• Do not put any dishes with hot content into the refrigerator.
• Products easily taking over foreign flavors, such as butter, milk, farmer cheese, and
product with intense flavor, such as fish, smoked meat, hard cheese, should be placed
on the shelves packaged in food wrap or in tightly sealed containers.
• Food should be stored in different refrigeration zones, depending on their type and
shelflife. Use the figures on page 14, 15 when selecting the zone for a product.
• Storage of vegetables, containing a lot of water, can cause deposition of steam on
the vegetable containers; it does not impact proper operation of the refrigerator.
• Dry the vegetables thoroughly before putting them into the refrigerator.
• Excessive moisture shortens shelflife of vegetables, especially leafed vegetables.
• Do not wash vegetables before storing in the refrigerator. Washing removes natural
protection, it is better to wash vegetables directly before consumption.
• Beverages should be stored in tightly sealed bottles.
• Note! Do not allow contact of oil and fat with plastic elements and the door gasket.
Freezing food
• Practically, all the food products except vegetables consumed raw, such as lettuce,
can be frozen.
• Only food products of the highest quality, divided in small portions for single use,
should be frozen.
• Products should be packaged in material that is odorless, resistant to air and moisture
penetration, and not susceptible to fat and lye.
• Plastic bags, polyethylene and aluminum sheets are the best wrapping material types.
• The packaging should be tight and stick to the frozen product. Do not use glass
packaging.
• We advise not to place more than 2,5 kg of fresh food at a time to the freezer per day.
• In order to maintain good quality of the frozen food in the freezer reorganize it so as
it does not touch food that is not frozen yet.
• The bottom, back and top walls of the freezing chamber transmit cold to the products.
Thus, portions that are to be frozen should be placed next to those surfaces.
• We advise moving the already frozen products aside and placing the fresh products
that are to be frozen in the middle of the freezing chamber.
• Set the temperature dial to „7” 2-3 hours prior to storing fresh products in the freezer.
After placing the fresh products in the freezer, set the dial to „4” - „5”.
• If you notice that during the freezing process, provided unfavorable operating con-
dition of the product or higher quantities of food being frozen, the temperature in the
refrigerating chamber dropped below 0ˇC, turn the temperature dial to „1” - „2”, it will
temporarily turn the compressor off.
After about 2 - 3 hours turn the dial to normal use position. It is particularly important

25
Operation
Defrosting food
• Depending on the type of food and the way they are to be used, it can be defrosted
in the refrigeration chamber, in a dish with lukewarm water, in a microwave oven, in
an electric oven, or let self-defrost in room temperature.
• Fruit and vegetables for boiling do not need to be defrosted.
• Defrosted food should be used the same day or stored in the refrigeration chamber
not longer than for one more day. Even if the product is defrosted partially, you mustnŐt
refreeze it. But you can freeze dishes containing defrosted ingredients.
Defrosting the refrigerator
Frost settles on the back wall of the refrigeration chamber.
It is automatically removed. During the defrosting, the condensate can contain
some impurities that could clog up the opening in the through.
Should it occur, delicately unclog the opening with the cleaning plug. (Phot.7).
The appliance operates in cycles: it refrigerates (frost sets on the back wall during
the phase) and defrosts (water flows down the back wall).
• Bigger deposits of ice on refrigerating surfaces deteriorate the appliance´s
performance and increase electricity consumption.
• If the appliance contains any products, set it to „7” about 4 hours prior to the planned
defrosting; it will ensure possibility of storing the frozen food for an extended period
of time in the room temperature.
• Do not place an electric heater, heating fan or a hair dryer in the refrigerator
under any circumstances.
• Take the food out of the freezer, put it in a bowl, wrap it with a few layers of paper
(you can use newspapers), wrap it in a blanket, and store in a cold place.
for storing food susceptible to temperatures below 0ˇC in the refrigerating chamber
(such as eggs, liquids in glass containers, etc.).
• Remember that the temperature in the refrigerator is effected by such factors
as the ambient temperature, quantities of food in the chamber, frequency of
opening the door, amount of frost in the freezing chamber.
• The freezing chamber can be used for freezing fruit and making ice cubes.
• If you use boiled water for making ice, ice cubes will be transparent.
• We suggest combining the defrosting and cleaning of the freezer with cleaning of
the refrigerating chamber.
• Absolutely set the temperature control dial to „0” and unplug the appliance
before cleaning.
• Empty the refrigerator.
• Wait about 30 minutes. Now you can easily remove frost from the smooth wall sur-
faces using a plastic or wooden spatula (Phot. 8)
Notice! A scraper is not included among the accessories.
• Wash and dry the inside of the refrigerator.
• Wash thoroughly all accessories ( vegetable containers, door shelves, glass shelves,
shelf frames).

26
• The whole appliance except the door gasket can be cleaned with mild cleaning de-
tergent. The door gasket should be cleaned with water only and wiped dry. Detergents
containing abradant or acids are not suitable for the cleaning.
Maintenance and Service
Exchanging the bulb
• Set the dial to „0” and unplug the appliance.
• Unscrew the bulb cover with a cross-head screwdriver and take the cover off
(Phot.9).
• Exchange the bulb with a new one observing the parameters: 220 - 240 V, max. 15
W, E14 thread, maximum bulb dimensions: diameter - 26 mm, length - 55 mm.
• Put the cover back and tighten it with the screws (Phot.10).
Operation
Energy saving
• Place the refrigerator away from heat sources (such as radiators and ovens (Phot11).
• Make sure air can circulate freely around the refrigerator,
• Let dishes cool down before putting them into the refrigerator, at least to room
temperature.
• Move the frozen food to the refrigerator while defrosting. You will utilize the low tempe-
rature of the frozen food for cooling the products stored in the refrigerator chamber.
• Defrost when there are ice deposits. Thick layer of ice hampers cold transition to
the food and increases electric energy consumption.
• Keep the door open as shortly as possible when putting in or taking out food.
The shorter the time the less ice will deposit on the freezer walls.
• Adjust the dial setting to the degree the refrigerator / freezer is filled up to.
Knowing that you will not use the refrigerator for a longer period of
time:
• Set the temperature control dial to „0” and unplug the appliance.
• Empty the appliance.
• Clean and dry the refrigerator.
Wash carefully all the accessories (vegetable containers, door shelves, glass shelves,
shelf frames).
• Leave the refrigerator door slightly open to prevent the chambers from getting
unpleasant smell.
• You may come across small problems while using the refrigerator that you
can repair yourself.
• By repairing yourself any problems except the ones listed in the table below
inevitably waives the guarantee rights.
• Turn on the appliance according to the relevant section in the manual.
