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.

Placement
The location for the placement 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.
Ventilation requirements
The area behind the appliance must provide for sucient air circulation.
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 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5cm;
• Fromaheateroroven,etc.50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.

EN - 14
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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 doors 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.

Procedure for switching the door opening direction
The appliance is supplied with the door hinge installed on the right. It is possible to switch the door opening
direction on this model.
We recommend that a quali ed technician or another trained person switches the door opening direction
for you.
If you will be laying it on its back for the purpose of better access to the underside of the appliance, it is
necessary to rst place a foam or another soft underlay on the  oor to prevent damaging the cooling system
on the rear part.
WARNING
Before commencing the procedure for changing the opening direction, ensure that the
appliance is turned o and that the power plug is disconnected from the mains power socket.
1. First it is necessary to remove the top hinge cover.
2. Remove the screws holding the top hinge and carefully take o the top hinge. Place to the side.
3. Carefully lift the door upwards and place to the side.
4. Now it is necessary to remove the bottom hinge. Remove the screws holding the bottom hinge and
carefully take o the bottom hinge.
5. Screw out the foot from the new installation location and move it to the other side.
6. Prior to mounting the bottom door hinge on to the other side, take o and move the hinge pin. Now
mount the bottom door hinge on to the other side. Secure in place using two screws. Check that the
bottom door hinge is correctly located.
7. Insert the bottom hinge pin into the bottom hinge.
8. Place the door on to the bottom door hinge.

PART 4: SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
Insert the power plug into a power socket. Make sure that the power socket is properly grounded and that
the voltage in the power socket corresponds to the voltage specied on the rating label of the appliance.
The interior light will turn on when the door is opened.
Set the temperature in the refrigerator using the temperature control dial. The thermostat control module
is connected to the compressor. Turn the temperature control dial upwards or downwards and set the
temperature inside the refrigerator.
NOTE:
During hot summer days when the thermostat is set to maximum, the compressor may run
continuously. This is due to the thermostat setting and it is a normal event.
The temperature needs to be set based on:
Temperature in the room where the appliance is located;
Amount of food stored inside;
Number of times the appliance is opened.
We recommend the middle settings. Soon you will nd out the optimal setting for your requirements.
A correct temperature setting is important for storing food. Micro-organisms cause food to spoil very quickly;
this can be prevented or delayed by using the correct storage temperature. Temperature aects the growth
rate of the micro-organisms. These processes are slowed down by a declining temperature. For this reason
we recommend the middle settings of the temperature control dial.
NOTE:
When the refrigerator is turned on for the rst time, it is recommended that to achieve the
required temperature of the stored food to leave the refrigerator running continuously for the
following 24-hour period – during this time avoid opening the refrigerator door to a minimum.
After turning o the refrigerator and disconnecting it from the mains power supply, it is
necessary prior to again connecting to the mains power supply and turning on the appliance
to wait at least 5 minutes – not following this instruction risks damaging the appliance‘s
compressor.

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).
