Technical safety
The appliance contains a cooling gas, ISOBUTHAN (R600a). Only transport or move the appliance
with the utmost care, prevent excessive impacts and shaking to prevent damaging the appliance.
If the cooling circuit becomes damaged and the cooling gas may be escaping, there is a risk of an
explosion, which may be ignited by a spark or ame. If the appliance shows signs of damage, it must not be
put into operation. In such a case contact the service centre, ventilate the room where the appliance is located
and prevent the spreading of ames or other interference with the appliance.
Safety instructions for gas R600a
Measures in case of an unexpected release
If ventilation is possible, allow the material to evaporate.
Characteristics of the gas
The gas is highly ammable, it is necessary to completely prevent contact with an open ame and hot surfaces.
Because the R600a gas is heavier than air, it may become very concentrated at the level of the ground, where
ventilation is weak.
First aid
Inhalation
Take the aected person from the contaminated area to a warm, well ventilated location. Staying in
a contaminated location for a long time may cause suocation, or potentially loss of consciousness. If
necessary, provide mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and in exceptionally serious situations, under expert
medical supervision, give oxygen.
Contact with the skin
Random contact with the skin will not endanger health, it is better to thoroughly wash the aected area. The
liquid spray or dispersed liquid may cause frost bite, wash the aected area with large amounts of water and
contact a medical doctor.
Contact with the eyes
If eyes have been aected, wash out with large amounts of water, while trying to keep the eyes open, and call
a specialised doctor as soon as possible.
If contact or inhalation of the R600a gas occurs, contact your medical doctor.

PART 3: INSTALLATION
Transport and unpacking
If the appliance is transported in a horizontal position the oil from the compressor may leak into the cooling
circuit. For this reason, allow the appliance to rest in a vertical position for 12 hours before turning it on, so that
the oil ows back into the compressor.
Remove the external packaging, remove the protective plastic lm from the surface of the appliance (if used)
and clean the external parts of the appliance with an agent designed for this purpose. Do not use steel wool or
any coarse agents, which could irreparably damage the surface of the appliance. Carefully remove all papers
and adhesive tape from the appliance, door and other parts packed in polystyrene. Remove documents and
accessories from inside the appliance.
The packaging material is recyclable and is marked with a recycling symbol. For disposal follow the local
regulations. Packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.) must be kept out of the reach of children,
because they present a possible source of danger.
Carefully inspect the appliance. If you discover any defects, stop the installation and contact the vendor.
Operating conditions
The proper operation of the appliance, the freezing temperatures are guaranteed only when the following
conditions are met:
 The temperature in the room where the appliance is located conforms to the climate class stated on the
appliance's rating label.
 Maximum ambient relative humidity: 90%.
 The appliance must be placed at a sucient distance from heat sources (e.g. baking ovens, central heating,
direct sunlight, etc.).
 The appliance must be located in such a location that it is protected against the eects of weather.
 Regular maintenance is performed according to the instructions in this user's manual.
 The ventilation openings in the cover of the appliance must not be covered by anything.
 Correct installation (e.g. levelling, the capacity of the system correspond to the specications on the rating
label of the appliance.)

Installation location
The installation location of the appliance must meet the requirements in the paragraph "Operating conditions"
and must have a stable oor with a load bearing capacity corresponding to the weight of the appliance.
Furthermore, you must maintain distances and dimensions of the appliance, so that correct operation
is ensured:
1. Rear part at least 10 cm;
2. The wall on the side where the door opens at least 7.5 cm.
Level the appliance using the adjustable feet, ensure there is a gap between the bottom edge of the appliance
and the ground, so that there is sucient circulation of cooling air, by which you will ensure the optimal
performance of the cooling circuit.
Check whether any cooling circulation pipes have been damaged during the installation.
 Use the appliance only for the purposes for which it has been designed.
 The appliance must be located on a rigid and even surface.
In this way you will ensure free circulation of the coolant and eective operation of your appliance.
 If possible, place the appliance into a cool, well ventilated and dry room.
 Do not locate the appliance in direct sunlight, or in a room with a high temperature, in the vicinity of any
sources of direct heat, such as heating, an oven, a stove, etc. – this would mean that the compressor would
need to work a lot harder resulting a substantially higher power consumption level.
If it is not possible to prevent the installation in the vicinity of a heat source, we recommend the insertion of an
appropriate insulating board (do not use asbestos) between the appliance and the heat source; or at least to
maintain the following minimum distances:
 From a gas or electric stove 3 cm;
 From a heater or oven, etc. 30 cm;
 From another cooling appliance 2 cm.
Do not place any appliances on the appliance, which emit heat on to the appliance, such as microwave ovens,
toasters, etc.
Never cover the ventilation grill. Pull out the power plug by pulling on the plug itself, never pull on the cord
when disconnecting the appliance.
Before turning on the appliance allow it to stand in its nal location for 12 hours, the coolant circuit
will stabilise in this way and no operating problems will occur. Before connecting the appliance to the
power grid check that it is perfectly dry inside – especially in the corners.
Danger warning
The coolant may be highly ammable, depending on its composition. The coolant circuit was
hermetically closed and sealed and was tested many times for possible leaks. Any unqualied
tampering with the product may cause a re hazard. Check that there is no mechanical interruption
or eect on the coolant circulation, namely in the accessible parts around the compressor.
Only professionally qualied persons may work on the cooling system.

Cleaning before use
Check that you have removed from the appliance all adhesive tape used to hold accessories .Then clean all the
inside parts using lukewarm water with a neutral cleaning agent, vinegar or sodium carbonate – in this way
you will remove the characteristic odour of new parts – then dry carefully. Do not use detergents or aggressive
agents, which could damage the surfaces.
Electrical connection
Before connecting the power plug to the power socket, check that:
 Your hands are completely dry.
 The voltage and frequency shown on the rating label of the appliance corresponds to that in the home
power grid (permitted tolerance from -6% to +6% for nominal voltage, for use with dierent voltages, use
a voltage converter with the corresponding parameters).
 The cord and the plug are not damaged or caught under heavy objects.
 The power cord is not excessively tensioned, it is not permitted to use an extension cord.
Do not connect the appliance to a voltage rectier (e.g. solar power plant) or use an extension cord.
The appliance must be connected to a working grounding lead. If the power socket of the home
system is not grounded in accordance with the current legal regulations, connect the appliance
after consulting a specialised technician to the grounding lead itself. The manufacturer takes no
responsibility for injuries caused as a result of not following these instructions.
If you do not correctly level the freezer during the installation, the door may not close shut and seal
properly, which may cause problems with the cooling, ice build up or moisture. Levelling the freezer is
very important.
Level the freezer using the adjustable feet – turn them clockwise to lift the freezer and turn them anticlockwise
to lower the freezer.

PART 4: SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
Setting the temperature
The temperature control dial is used to set the freezer temperature. It is located in the lower part of the freezer.
We recommend the temperature control dial to be set to MID or 4 (depending on the model).
If the cooling performance of the freezer is insucient, set the temperature control dial to MAX or 7 (depending
on the model). If on the other hand, the cooling performance of the freezer is too high, set the temperature
control dial to MIN or 1 (depending on the model).
If you need to turn the freezer o, turn the temperature control dial to OFF or 0 (depending on the model).

PART 5: ARRANGEMENT OF FOOD
 Appropriate wrapping materials for food are plastic containers, aluminium foil, polyethylene freezing
bags, etc.
 Always allow hot dishes to cool down before placing them into the freezer.
 Open the door only for a short time so that the inside area of the freezer is not heated. This saves energy.
 Never store explosive materials or products with ammable compressed gasses (e.g. whipped cream
sprayers with pressurised capsules/cartridges, spray cans) – DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
Storage of frozen food
If you have turned on the freezer for the rst time or you have just defrosted it, wait at least for 2 hours before
putting food into the the freezer.
All frozen food must be put into the freezer as soon as possible after being bought, so that they do not defrost
and cause potential contamination.
Store frozen products according to the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.
Pay increased attention to handling the drawer, so that you do not damage the cooling circuit.
Placing fresh food into a freezer
Ensure that the freezer is clean as the freezing process itself does not sterilise food. We recommend freezing
food in the original packaging, or in various containers suitable for freezing or in special freezer bags. Never
place hot or warm dishes into the freezer. Allow dishes to fully cool down before placing them into the freezer,
wrap them in a plastic bag, aluminium foil or put them in a jar. Check the label on the freezer, to check how
many kilos of fresh food (at a room temperature of 25°C) the freezer is able to freeze in 24 hours. Never insert
more food than the permitted amount.
Never place bottles with zzy drinks into the freezer nor any other bottles.
For better freezing results give the food sucient room for air circulation.
We recommend a setting between the medium and maximum value for standard use and for long term food
storage in the freezer.
ATTENTION!
 Do not store cans and bottles with beverages containing carbon dioxide in the freezer. The contents
expand during the freezing process, which may rip the bottle or can apart. Risk of injury and damage!
 Consume ice cream only several minutes after removing it from the freezer – you will avoid injury to your
lips and tongue. Do not touch the inside of the freezer if you have wet hands.

Important information
 Place only properly wrapped food into the freezer.
 When storing deep frozen food intended for immediate consumption, note the expiry date marked by the
manufacturer.
 Remember that only quality fresh food is suitable for freezing.
 Freeze fresh food in appropriately sized portions.
 Ensure that you use an appropriate wrapping material (plastic wrap, aluminium foil, freezing bays).
 Push all air out of the packages.
 To close the packages use rubber bands, plastic clips, tie wire or adhesive tape resistant to cold.
 Plastic bags and tubes can also be closed using a food sealing appliance.
 On the closed package write down the contents, weight and date of freezing.
 Before placing plastic bags into the freezer check that they are dry so as to prevent them from freezing to
each other.
 To prevent partial defrosting, place the food that is to be frozen in such a way that it is not touching the
already frozen food.
 Do not refreeze fully or partially defrosted food apart from the case where they were heat processed
(cooked or fried/baked).
 Do not consume food that has been stored for a period longer than its expiry date. You may
cause yourself food poisoning.

PART 6: DEFROSTING AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE
For hygiene reasons, it is necessary to regularly clean the appliance (including the outside and inside
accessories) at least once every two months.
ATTENTION!
The appliance must not be connected to the power socket during cleaning. Danger of injury by electric shock!
Before cleaning the appliance, disconnect the power plug from the power socket.
Cleaning the outer surface
In order for the appliance to serve you long and well, it is necessary to clean it regularly.
- Wipe the control panel and display using a soft clean wiping cloth.
- Apply water on to the wiping cloth instead of on the appliance. This will ensure that the water is spread evenly
over the surface of the appliance.
- Wipe the door, handles, sides with a wiping cloth dipped in lukewarm water with a little kitchen detergent
and then wipe dry.
ATTENTION!
- Do not use sharp objects, coarse cleaning agents which could scratch the surface of the appliance.
- Do not use thinners, car cleaners, chlorine, petrol, coarse cleaning agents, benzene or any other similar agents
for cleaning. They can damage the surface of the appliance and cause a re.
The use of steam cleaning appliances is extremely dangerous and so is strictly forbidden.
Cleaning the inside area
It is necessary to regularly clean the inside area. It will be easier to clean the inside area if there is not too much
food inside the appliance. Wipe the inside area using a soft wiping cloth dipped in a weak solution of water
and baking soda or vinegar, wipe using a wiping cloth dipped in clean warm water. Then wipe dry using a clean
wiping cloth before reinserting the shelves and drawers.
Thoroughly dry out the inside area and accessories.
Defrosting
Despite the appliance being equipped with the automatic defrosting function, a layer of ice may appear from
time to time on the inner walls of the freezer, especially if the freezer door is being opened too frequently or
left open for longer periods of time. If the ice layer is too thick, remove the food from the freezer and proceed
as follows:
1. Take out the food and accessories, turn o the appliance and disconnect the power cord from the power
socket. Ensure ventilation in the room to speed up the defrosting process.
2. As soon as the freezer is defrosted, clean it in the same way as described above.
ATTENTION!
 Do not use sharp objects for the removal of frozen food or ice, the wall of the freezer could be scratched.
 When defrosting a freezer never use electric appliances such as hair fans, hot air fans, steam cleaners, de-
icing sprays or open ames (e.g. candles). The plastic interior could melt and the resulting foam gas could
be ignited from a spark or an open ame. Never use a steam cleaner to melt a layer of ice in the appliance
(high risk of injury by electrical shock).
 Remove the frozen food and wrap into several newspaper layers.
 Place the frozen food in a cold place until it is possible to use the freezer again.

EN - 13
11/2014
Copyright © 2014, Fast ČR, a. s.
 Do not scratch the ice deposit layer because you could damage the evaporation surface.
 Perform the defrosting process as fast as possible to prevent the removed food from defrosting.
 You can speed up the defrosting process by placing a bowl with hot water (not boiling) into the freezer. In
this case close the freezer door.
 The appliance may be connected to the power grid and turned on only after the inside area is completely
dry.
Cleaning gasket seals
Keep the door gasket seals clean.
Sticky foods and beverages may cause the gasket seal to stick to the inner edge and result in damage when
the door is opened. Wash the gasket seal with a soft wiping cloth dipped in warm water with a small amount
of kitchen detergent. Rinse and thoroughly wipe dry.
ATTENTION!
Only turn on the appliance once the gasket seal is thoroughly dry.
Taking out of operation for an extended period
If you are not going to use the appliance for an extended period of time, do the following:
Disconnect the freezer from the power source by pulling it out of the power socket. Clean out the inside and
dry it out as described in the part Cleaning the freezer. Leave the door open to prevent an unpleasant odour
from forming inside.
Please be aware:
Compressor
The compressor is controlled by the thermostat, which is set by the temperature dial, and turns itself on
automatically when temperatures inside the appliance is exceeded and then turns itself o as soon as it again
reaches this temperature.
When any compressor – cooling system is turned on – noise can be heard. These sounds are made when the
motor in the compressor is working and they are also made by the coolant circulating in the circuit of the
cooling system.These noises are normal and do not indicate any malfunction in the operation of the appliance.
In unheated rooms or in cold weather conditions condensate may form on the exterior walls of the appliance.
This does not indicate a malfunction and this condensate will disappear as soon as the temperature rises.
Contact the service department only when, after analysing all possible factors of the malfunction you
cannot nd any cause for the malfunction or you are unable to remedy the malfunction yourself. So, rst focus
on: " What should I do when...."

If you notice problems with your appliance or if you nd that the appliance is not working properly, you can
remedy some of the most common faults yourself prior to contacting an authorised service centre. Check the
appliance and proceed according to the instructions below before contacting an authorised service centre.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to repair the appliance on your own. If the problem persists after performing the
inspection, please contact an authorised service centre, a qualied technician or the vendor from
whom you purchased the appliance.
Problem Solution
Power outage Open the freezer door as little as possible to prevent cold air from leaking out.
Do not add additional food for freezing. This could increase the temperature.
In the event of an extended power outage, put dry ice into the freezer.
Problems with the power
cord.
If the power cord is damaged in any way, stop using the appliance, contact an
authorised service centre to have the power cord replaced. The replacement
can only be performed by a qualied person.
The power plug is used as a disconnection device and therefore must remain
accessible at all times.
Taking out of operation
for an extended period
Take all food out of the freezer and disconnect the power cord from the power
socket.
Clean out the inside area and wipe away excess water.
To prevent the creation of an unpleasant odour, leave the door of the freezer
open.
Transport Disconnect the power plug from the power socket.
Prior to transport, make sure that the feet of the freezer are not damaged.
Do not allow the feet of the appliance to hit against stairs, doorsills, etc.
Storage Place a piece of wood or a similar object between the door and the unit to
prevent the freezer from closing.
Ensure that the freezer is placed out of reach of children to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
If the child becomes stuck in the freezer or the door closes, the child may not
be able to open it.
The freezer is not freezing. Is the power supply interrupted?
Is the power cord disconnected from the power socket?
Have the fuses burned or is the circuit activated?
Is the temperature control dial set to OFF or 0?

EN - 15
11/2014
Copyright © 2014, Fast ČR, a. s.
Problem Solution
Insucient freezing Is sucient ventilation provided?
Is the freezer exposed to direct sunlight or located near a source of heat (e.g.
stove)?
Is the door open? Did you open the door too frequently?
Are pieces of food stuck between the door and the unit?
Set the temperature control dial to MAX or 7, otherwise then to MIN or 1.
Ice build-up is too thick, it is necessary to defrost the freezer.
Excessive noise Is the oor under the freezer hard enough?
Is the freezer moving or rattling?
Is the rear part of the freezer touching a wall?
Is there an item behind the freezer? The compressor will be louder when the
freezer is rst turned on, when the ambient temperature is high and when
it is set to the maximum setting. The noise level will then decline.
Condensed water
on the outer casing
Condensed water may appear on the outer casing and door during hot and
humid days or if the freezer has been installed in an excessively hot and humid
location. Water then condenses on the cooler parts of the freezer. This is
normal. Wipe the water away with a dry wiping cloth.
The freezer is hot to
touch.
The freezer may be hot to touch especially during the summer or when rst
started. The freezer is equipped with a tube that provides protection against
excessive condensation,
that is why it heats up. This temperature does not aect the temperature inside
the freezer
