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 defects, stop the installation and contact the vendor.
Operating conditions
The proper operation of the appliance, the refrigeration 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,

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.
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.

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
tamperingwiththeproduct may causea re hazard.Checkthatthere is no mechanicalinterruption
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.
Recommendation: We recommend that sucient space of 135° is kept in the front part for the opening of the
door – see the following picture.
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 wiring 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.

EN - 9
Copyright © 2015, Fast ČR, a. s. 11/2015
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 door 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 adjustable feet – turn them clockwise to lift the refrigerator and turn them
anticlockwise to lower the refrigerator.
