Before putting into use
• Before connecting the appliance to the power
mains, leave it stand for about 2 hours. This will
reduce the probability of malfunctions in the
cooling system due to transport and handling.
• Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially the
interior (see Cleaning and maintenance).
Instructions for use
These instructions for use were prepared for the
user. They describe the appliance and its correct
and safe use. They were prepared for various
types/models of appliances; therefore you might
find in them descriptions of some functions and
accessories that do not apply to your appliance.
Mounting instructions
Integrated appliances are equipped with
instructions for mounting the appliance into the
kitchen unit.
The appliance should be professionally mounted
by a qualified technician; mounting instructions are
for his use only.
We care for the environment
• Our products use environmentally friendly
packaging which can be either recycled or
disposed of in an environmentally friendly
manner. To this end, individual packaging
materials are clearly marked.
• These instructions are printed either on recycled
paper or chlorine-free bleached paper.
• When your appliance finally wears out, please
do not burden the environment with it; call your
nearest authorised service agent (see Disposing
of the worn out appliance).
Tips for energy saving
• Do not 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.
• Check periodically if sufficient ventilation is
provided (undisturbed circulation of air through
the bottom rail openings).

Instructions for Use 3
• Turn the thermostat knob from higher to lower
setting as soon as possible (depending on how
loaded the appliance is, ambient temperature
etc.).
• Never use continuous operation unless it is
absolutely necessary; switch the operation mode
selector switch to the setting for automatic
operation as soon as possible.
• Before freezing packages of fresh foods, make
sure they are cooled to ambient temperature.
• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption,
so do clean the appliance as soon as the layer is
3-5 mm thick.
• 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.
• Condenser at the bottom of the appliance must
always be clean and dust free (see section
Cleaning of the appliance).
• Always observe the instructions given in sections
Positioning and Energy saving tips; otherwise
the energy consumption may be substantially
higher.
Important
• This appliance is manufactured in compliance
with relevant safety standards. However, it is still
advisable it is not used without due supervision
by persons with diminished physical, motoric, or
mental capabilities or persons with inadequate
experience or knowledge. The same
recommendation applies to minors using the
appliance.
• If you bought this appliance to replace an old
one that was equipped with a lock that cannot be
opened from the inside of the appliance (lock,
bolt), make sure that the lock is broken. This will
make it impossible for the children to lock
themselves into the appliance and suffocate.
• Make sure you connect the appliance correctly
to the power mains (see Connection to the
power mains).
• Do not touch the cooled surfaces while the
appliance operates, especially not with wet
hands, because your skin might stick to the cold
surfaces.
• Do not freeze bottled drinks, especially not fizzy
ones such as mineral water, sparkling wine,
beer, cola etc., because liquid expands during
freezing and the glass bottle is very likely to blow
up.
• Never try to eat frozen food (bread, fruit,
vegetables), because you may get frostbite.
• Carefully check the foods for colour and smell
and if you are in doubt about their quality, throw
them away because they may be spoiled and
therefore dangerous to eat.
• Disconnect the appliance from the power mains
before any repairs (only a qualified technician
should repair it) and before cleaning.
• Use only tools supplied with the appliance or
tools recommended by the manufacturer.
• To protect your environment, 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
refrigeration system inside the appliance.
• The refrigeration system of the appliance is filled
with refrigerant and lubricant. When the
appliance is damaged, handle it with care and
dispose it of in compliance with environment-
protection precautions (see We care for the
environment).
• Heating element integrated in the appliance, all
around the rim, is controlled by the operation of
the compressor and it prevents the door gasket
to freeze onto the freezer housing.
• If the power 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 located in the interior or on
the rear wall of the appliance.
• Warning! Ventilation slots on the appliance or a
built-in element must always be clean and
unobstructed.
• Warning! Do not use mechanical devices or
tools to defrost the refrigerator, nor any other
methods except for those recommended by the
manufacturer.

not to damage the hose at the bottom of the
appliance.
Placing and installation
Choosing the right place
Place the appliance in a dry and well ventilated
room. Allowed ambient temperature depends on
the model (class) of the appliance and it is stated
on the rating plate of the appliance. Never place
the appliance near heat emitting devices (e.g.
cooker, radiator, water heater and 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 appropriate insulation.
Class Ambient temperature
SN (sub-normal) from + 10°C to + 32°C
N (normal) from + 16°C to + 32°C
ST (sub-tropical) from + 16°C to + 38°C
T (tropical) from + 16°C to + 43°C
Connection to Power Supply
Use the cable and plug to connect the appliance to
the power supply socket outlet with a ground
terminal (safety socket).

The signal light C will remain on.
Selecting the temperature in the appliance
Recommended setting for the thermostat knob A
is half way between the thinner and the thicker
end of the sign.
A change in the environment temperature will
affect the temperature in the appliance. The
thermostat knob setting should be adjusted
accordingly.
Positions towards the thicker part of the sign mean
a lower temperature in the appliance (cooler).
Settings towards the thinner part of the marking
mean a higher temperature (warmer).
Signal light D will flash when the temperature in
the freezer rises to a level that is too high, and
goes off when the temperature drops back to a
level that no longer represents food spoilage
hazard (see section »Troubleshooting«).
Freezing and storing frozen food
Freezing process
Maximum quantity of fresh food that can be
introduced into the appliance at a time is
indicated on the label with basic information
on the appliance. If this quantity is exceeded,
freezing quality will deteriorate, as will the
quality of the already frozen food.
• Activate the super freeze function 24 hours
before freezing fresh food:
− rotate the A button to the (signal light B
will light up)
After 24 hours, place the fresh food in the freezing
compartment, but not more than 5 kilograms to
each compartment. Make sure the fresh food is not
in contact with the food that is already frozen.
• When freezing smaller quantities of food (1-2
kilograms), activating the super freeze function is
not required.
• After the end of the freezing process, rotate the A
dial back to the desired setting, even if the B
signal light is not on (this means that sufficiently
low temperature has already been reached.
• If the freezer boost is not deactivated manually, it
will be automatically switched off after
approximately 2 days. Then the temperature of
the freezer compartment returns to the most
recently set value (knob position remains at ).
Important warnings on freezing fresh food
• The freezer should only be used for freezing
food that is appropriate for freezing. The food
should always be fresh and of adequate
quality.
• Choose an appropriate packaging for the
food and package it correctly.
• The packaging should be airtight and
watertight to prevent loss of humidity or
vitamins from the food.
• Indicate the type of food, quantity, and
freezing date on each food package.
• It is important that the food is frozen as
quickly as possible; therefore, smaller
packages should be preferred. Before
freezing, the food should be cooled.

Instructions for Use 7
Storage of frozen food
Store the already frozen food in the storage
compartment of the freezer. The bottom section of
the appliance is also intended for storage
purposes. Storage baskets may be removed and
food may be placed directly on the cooling
shelves.
Storing commercially frozen food
The storage time and recommended temperature
for storing commercially frozen food is indicated on
the packaging. For storing and use, observe
manufacturer's instructions.
When shopping, be careful and choose only
packages of food that are appropriately packed,
provided with full information, and stored in
freezers where the temperature is not higher than
-18°C.
Do not buy packages of food covered with frost.
This indicates that the package has been thawed
before at least once. Make sure the packages do
not start to thaw. Temperature rise shortens the
storage time of commercially frozen foods.

Defrosting of frozen food
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.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Freezer defrosting
Frost and ice layer deposited on the inner walls of
the freezer should be defrosted when 3-5 mm
thick.
• 24 hours before defrosting, activate the freezer
power boost to additionally cool the food (see
chapter “Freezing process”).
• After 24 hours, remove the frozen food from the
freezer and protect them from thawing.
• Disconnect the appliance – rotate the thermostat
knob A to the position and unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet.
• Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may
damage the plastic parts and they may be
hazardous to health.
• Water accumulated at the bottom basket of the
appliance should be mopped with a sponge or
highly absorbent cloth.
Cleaning the appliance
Before cleaning the appliance disconnect the
cable from the power mains. Do not use
abrasive cleaning agents.
• Clean the exterior of the appliance with water
and liquid detergent.
Varnished surfaces are cleaned with a soft cloth
and an alcohol based cleaning agent (for
example glass cleaners). You may also use
alcohol (ethanol or isopropyl alcohol).
The application of abrasive and especially
aggressive cleaners, such as the stainless steel
cleaners, is not appropriate for the cleaning of
plastic and coated parts.

Instructions for Use
8
• Wash the interior with lukewarm water and
some vinegar.
• The air openings in the bottom rail should be
cleaned or vacuumed periodically.
Cleaning of the condenser
Dust from the condenser unit should be
vacuumed in the following manner:
− push your finger through the opening in the
bottom rail and release the fastener;
− pull the rail towards you and remove it;
− remove the bottom board of the kitchen
cabinet;
− pull out the condenser dish;
− use a vacuum cleaner to clean the dust from
the condenser;
− replace the condenser dish and the bottom
rail in the opposite order.
After you have cleaned the appliance, reconnect it
to the power mains and put the food packages
back to their place.
Periodical cleaning of the condenser
In order to optimize the operation of the
appliance and save energy, it is
recommended to periodically clean the dust
from the condenser unit at the back of the
appliance.
Disconnect the appliance from the power mains
before you start cleaning it!
• Empty the contents of the appliance.
• Remove the support panel from the bottom of
the kitchen cabinet.
• Remove the screws fixing the appliance to the
kitchen worktop.
• Pull out the appliance to expose the condenser
at the back of the appliance.
• Unscrew the screws from the condenser bonnet
and remove the bonnet.
• Clean the dust and dirt from the condenser.
After cleaning return the appliance to its place,
plug in the power cord and fill with food.

Troubleshooting
Problem: Cause or remedy
After connecting to the power
mains, the appliance does not
operate:
• Make sure the wall outlet is powered and that the appliance is
plugged in.
Cooling system has been working • Too high environment temperature.
continuously for a long period of • Door is open too often or it is left open too long.
time: • Door is not closed appropriately (there may be dirt between the
door and the refrigerator, the door may be tilted, the seal
should be checked, etc.).
• Too much fresh food was inserted.
• Insufficient compressor and condenser cooling. Check the air
circulation behind the appliance and clean the condenser.
Ice accumulation in the freezer
interior is a result of:
• Poor door sealing. If the seal is dirty or damaged, clean or
replace it.
• Door is opened too often or left open too long.
• Placing warm food into the freezer.
Signal light D is flashing: • Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.
• Door not closed properly (particle between door gasket,
sagged door, damaged gasket, etc...).
• Excessively long power failure.
• Excessive quantity of fresh food inserted at once.
Door won’t open easily: • If you wish to open freezer door immediately or shortly after
closing it, you may feel rather strong resistance. When the
freezer door is opened, some cool air escapes from the freezer
compartment and it is replaced by warm air from the
environment. When this air is cooled, a sub-pressure builds up,
causing resistance to door opening. After a few minutes, the
condition is normalized and the door can be easily opened
again.
Occurrence of murmur after
closing the door:
• After closing the door, some murmur can occur. This
phenomenon is normal and is due to pressure equalisation.
If none of the above reasons seems to match your problem, please contact the nearest service center and
state the type, model and serial number as indicated on the label with basic information attached in the
appliance interior.
Noise
Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is
enabled by the cooling system with a 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
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.
