INSTALLATION AND OPERATING CONDITIONS OF
THE APPLIANCE
Installation before using the appliance for the first time
It is recommended to prepare the appliance for operation with a helper.
•Remove package. Lift the appliance away from foamed polystyrene base. Tear off
adhesive tapes.
•When positioning the appliance in chosen location, it will move more easily into
position if you lift the front a little and incline it backward, allowing it to roll on its
casters. Moving or positioning the appliance do not tilt it by more than 40° from the
vertical position.
When placing, moving, lifting the appliance, do not hold the door
handles, do not pull the condenser at the rear part of the refrigerator
and do not touch the compressor unit.
•Remove all red-coloured parts from the
shelves. Tear away the adhesive tapes from
the door trays –they are intended only for
the transport of the appliance.
NOTE. When you open the freezer
compartment door a little red packing detail will fall out –IT IS FOR
TRANSPORTATION PURPOSES ONLY.
•Take two supports 1from the bag and insert
them into the guides 2at the top back part of the
appliance (see picture).
If the appliance is brought in from the cold (temperature is not higher than +12
°C), you should wait for two hours before connecting it to the mains.
The appliance should not be connected to the mains until all packing and
transport materials aren’t removed. Suitably dispose the packaging material.
Connection to the mains
•This appliance should be connected to AC 220-240V 50Hz supply socket. The socket
must be fitted properly, and must be supplied with an earthling conduit and a 10A
fuse. It is a legal requirement that the appliance is properly earthed. The
manufacturer will not be held liable for any damage or injury which may result from
the failure to fulfil this requirement.
•Do not use adapters, multiple sockets and two-wire extension leads. If it is necessary
to use the extension lead, it must be equipped with a protection ring and a single
socket and must have a VDE/GS safety certificate.
•If an extension lead is used (with a protection ring and safety certificate), its socket
must be located at a safe distance, away from the sinks, and must not be in a place
where it could be flooded by water or waste water.
•When positioning the appliance, be careful that the electrical cord isn’t squeezed in
order to avoid its damage. Do not store heavy objects such as cooling devices,

6
furniture or other domestic devices next the appliance in such a way that they could
squeeze and damage the electrical cord. This can cause a short circuit and a fire.
•Make sure that the plug of the electrical cord is not squeezed by the back wall of the
appliance or otherwise damaged. A damaged plug can be the cause of a fire!
Positioning
•Place the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room.
WARNING! The appliance should not be operated in an unheated room
or porch. Place the appliance away from heat sources such as kitchen
stove/oven, radiators, or direct sunlight.
The rear wall of the refrigerator, in particular, the condenser and other elements of the
cooling system must not contact other elements, which may damage them, (e.g. central
heating pipes and the water supply pipes).
WARNING! The appliance must not touch any pipes for heating, gas or
water supply, or any other electrical devices.
Minimum distances from the heat sources:
- from the electric gas and other ovens - 30 mm,
- from oil or coal fired ovens - 300 mm,
- from built-in ovens - 50 mm
If there is no possibility of ensuring the above- mentioned distances, provide an
appropriate insulation board.
•Do not cover the ventilation holes at the top of the appliances –
it must be a good air circulation around the appliance. There
should be a gap of at least 10 cm between the top of the
appliance body and any furniture that may be above it (see fig.).
If this requirement is not followed, the appliance consumes more
electrical energy and its compressor may overheat. 
•The appliance must stand on a level surface and must not touch
the wall. If necessary, regulate the height of the appliance by
adjusting the levelling feet: by turning them clockwise –the
front of the appliance rises, by turning them counter clockwise –
it comes down. If the appliance
is tilted slightly backward –the
doors will close by themselves.
•◄If the appliance is placed in a
corner, a gap must be left between the appliance
body and the wall so that the freezer compartment
door can be opened enough to pull out the frozen
product drawer (see picture).

ELECTRONIC CONTROL PANEL DESCRIPTION.
TEMPERATURE REGULATION.
When connecting the device to the mains for the first time, the blue temperature
indicating segment lights up at +5: factory temperature setting +5 °C, but you can
select the preferred temperature according to your needs.
The appliance features and temperature are controlled with touch (sensory) buttons.
When the desired function is on, the function symbol is lit in a white colour
and when it is turned off, the symbol becomes grey.

1. Temperature adjustment button is marked with the °C symbol. You can set
the temperature of the refrigerator compartment between +1 °C and +9 °C.
Temperature setting in the refrigerator
Activate temperature button 1: tap and hold until the temperature indicating segment
starts to flash in blue (active). Then release button 1and tap repeatedly until the
required temperature segment is blue (activated). One tap changes the temperature by
one position.
The temperature setting operates in a circle: for example, the active segment is at +5,
and if you want to set +1 °C after activation you have to tap temperature button 1 3
times –until the temperature indicating segment at +1 turns blue.
Refrigerator compartment temperature is adjustable on a five-point scale:
+9 –highest temperature (lowest cooling).
+1 –lowest temperature (highest cooling).
NOTE. After power loss the device turns on automatically, saving the last user-set
temperature in the refrigerator compartment.
THE TEMPERATURE IN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT MAY VARY
DEPENDING ON AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, THE AMOUNT OF FOODSTUFFS, THE
TEMPERATURE OF THE FOODSTUFFS, AND HOW OFTEN THE APPLIANCE
DOORS ARE OPENED AND CLOSED. Therefore we recommend:
•locate the appliance away from heat sources,
•do not put hot foodstuffs in the refrigerator –they must be cooled down to
room temperature,
•appliance door must not to be left open,

8
•the appliance door should not be open longer than it is necessary to take out or put in
foodstuffs
IF THE REFRIGERATOR DOOR IS OPEN MORE THAN 30 SECONDS an audible warning
signal sounds, and silenced when the door is closed.
If the room temperature is below +16 °C, we recommend that you set a lower
temperature with the temperature-selection button (1).
Cooling device on/off
SHUTDOWN. Tap and hold button 1until the three temperature indicative segments are
blue, and the light in the refrigerator compartment turns off. CAUTION! Voltage remains
turned on.
SWITCHING ON. Tap and hold button 1until the set temperature indication segment is
blue, and the refrigerator compartment lighting is on.
NOTE: after turning on the cooling device, the last temperature set by the user will be
saved.
2. Temperature indicator segments. The temperature set-point segment is
illuminated in blue (active), while the other temperature value segments are grey
(inactive).
3. The quick cooling function is activated by tapping button 3 marked with the
symbol. When the quick cooling function is on, the white segment in the centre of the
button is on.
The quick cooling function is recommended when you want to cool down quickly fresh
food products to +5 °C or when many food products are loaded into the refrigerator.
When the food products have been cooled to +5 °C, the quick cooling function turns off
automatically. If you do not want to wait until it has cooled down to the set
temperature, touch the button 3 of this function and turn the function off - the white
segment will become grey.
USING THE REFRIGERATOR EFFICIENTLY
Storage zones in the refrigerator
•Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different
temperature zones in the refrigerator chamber.
•Pre-packed vegetable and other fresh food with a label stating it should be kept at a
temperature of approx. +4 °C.
•The warmest area is in the top section of the door. Use this for storing butter and
cheese.
Food that should not be stored in a refrigerator.
Not all food is suitable for storing in the refrigerator, particularly:
- Fruit and vegetables which are sensitive to cold, such as bananas, avocado, papaya,
passion fruit, aubergines, peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers.
- Fruit which is not yet ripe
- Potatoes
•Do not keep prepared food and ready-to-cook (“heat and eat”) food in the same
container.
