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, doors 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 faults, stop the installation and contact the vendor.
Operating conditions
The proper operation of the appliance, the cooling and freezing temperature 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place 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. Top part at least 20 cm;
2. Rear part at least 10 cm;
3. The wall on the side where the door opens at least 30 cm.
Level the appliance using the levelling feet, ensure there is agap between the bottom edge of the appliance
and the ground, so that there is sucient circulation of the 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 release 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
changer with the corresponding parameters).
The power 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 refrigerator during the installation, the doors may not close shut and
seal properly, which may cause problems with the cooling, ice build up or moisture. Levelling the
refrigerator is very important.
Level the refrigerator using the levelling feet – turn them clockwise to lift the refrigerator and turn them
anticlockwise to lower the refrigerator.

PART 4: OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
Setting the temperature
In the top part of the refrigerator there is atemperature control dial that is used to control the temperature
inside the refrigerator and freezer.
Light tube (inside)
Temperature
control dial
Light tube cover
Setting "0": Turned o, turn it clockwise to turn on the appliance.
You can then set the temperature in the range from "1" (highest temperature) to "7" (lowest temperature).
For standard operation we recommend that the appliance be set to atemperature between 2 – 4.
The higher setting you select, the more it will save on power consumption and vice versa.
IMPORTANT:
During hot summer days when the temperature control dial is set to "6 – 7", the compressor may run con-
tinuously. This is normal as the compressor is trying to maintain the temperature at the set level.
Refrigerator accessories
Refrigerator shelves
The refrigerator shelves can be moved to adierent height if necessary by being inserted into arespective rail
or taken out for easy cleaning.
Shelves in the door
These are used for storing smaller-sized food such as cheeses, meat, eggs and bottles. They can be installed at
various heights as required.
Fruit and vegetable drawer
It is used for storing fruit and vegetables.
Freezer drawers
These are used for storing frozen food.

12/2013Copyright © 2013, Fast ČR, a. s.
PART 5: ARRANGEMENT OF FOOD
Food products, which are susceptible to the absorption of odours or that release odours must always be stored
in closed boxes or in appropriate packaging.
Fruit, vegetables and salad products can be stored unpacked in the vegetable drawers.
Appropriate wrapping materials for food is plastic wrap, aluminium foil, glass jars, etc.
The products should not touch the back wall, otherwise they may freeze on.
Always allow hot dishes to cool down before placing them into the refrigerator.
Open the door only for ashort time so that the inside area of the fridge 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!
Do not place oils intended for the preparation of meals into the removable drawers in the refrigerator door.
This may cause cracks caused by the pressure in the plastic on the door.
Alcoholic beverages must always be stored in the cold zone, in avertical position and rmly and safely closed.
Advice about refrigerating food
While the air in the refrigerator circulates, areas with various temperatures arise. These areas are especially
useful for storing various types of food. Arrange the food in such away that air can freely ow around the food.
The coldest zones (suitable for example for storing meat) are found immediately above the vegetable drawers.
On the other hand the zones that are less cold are at the top towards the outside and inside the door (ideal for
storing butter and cheese).

Storage of frozen food
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 their 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.
CAUTION!
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.
CAUTION!
–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.
Removal of excess moisture
Your refrigerator is equipped with an excess moisture removal system, which may accumulate when food is
stored.
In the bottom of the refrigerator there is a hole through which excess condensate is drained out of the
refrigerator into atank.
This hole must under no condition be blocked, clogged or otherwise covered. It serves for the proper regulation
of humidity in the refrigerator.
The condensate tank, which is located in the rear part of the appliance should be taken out at least once ayear
and cleaned out. This will ensure the proper and long term operation of your appliance.
Defrosting
Disconnect the power cord from the power socket. Open the doors and take out all the food and place them in
acool place. Using the plastic scraper remove the ice from the walls of the freezer or allow the ice to naturally
melt away. Then wipe out the remaining ice and water, wipe dry and connect the power cord to the power
socket.

EN - 17
12/2013Copyright © 2013, Fast ČR, a. s.
CAUTION!
Do not use sharp objects for the removal of frozen food or ice, the wall of the freezer could be scratched.
When defrosting the 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.
Leave the freezer door open.
Ice deposit layers form in the freezer during the normal course of operation. After exceeding acertain thick-
ness, they function as insulation and interrupt heat transfer.
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.
Constantly remove water using asponge.
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.
As soon as the freezer has been fully defrosted, empty the water accumulated in the bowl into akitchen sink.
Wipe the freezer area until dry and return the food.
Connect the appliance to the power socket.
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.
CAUTION!
Only turn on the appliance once the gasket seal is thoroughly dry.
