DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE, BASIC PARTS (fig. 1)

PREPARING THE APPLIANCE FOR OPERATION
It is recommended to prepare the appliance for operation with a helper.
•Remove package. Lift the appliance away from foamed polystyrene base - to not
raise and push it taking by handles or door.
•When positioning the appliance in chosen location, it will move more easily into
position if you lift the front a little and incline it backward, allowing it to roll on its
casters.
•Tear away the adhesive tapes –they are intended only for the transport of the
appliance. Remove the separate polystyrene part (transport protection) between the
rear of the device and condenser –metal grid (if available).
When you open the freezer compartment door a little red packing detail will fall out –
IT IS FOR TRANSPORTATION PURPOSES ONLY.

•Take two supports 1from the bag and insert
them into the guides 2at the top back part of the
appliance (see picture).
•If the appliance is brought in from the cold
(temperature is not higher than +12 °C), you
should wait for two hours before connecting it to the mains.
The appliance should not be connected to the mains until all packing and
transport materials aren’t removed. Suitably dispose the packaging material
POSITIONING
•Place the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room.
WARNING! The appliance should not be operated in an unheated room
or porch. Place the appliance away from heat sources such as kitchen
stove/oven, radiators, or direct sunlight.
WARNING! The appliance must not touch any pipes for heating, gas or
water supply, or any other electrical devices.
•Do not cover the ventilation holes at the top of the
appliances–it must be a good air circulation around the
appliance. There should be a gap of at least 10 cm between
the top of the appliance body and any furniture that may be
above it. If this requirement is not followed, the appliance
consumes more electrical energy and its compressor may
overheat. 
•The appliance must stand on a level surface and must not
touch the wall. If necessary, regulate the height of the
appliance by adjusting the levelling feet: by turning them
clockwise –the front of the appliance rises, by turning them
counter clockwise –it comes down. If the appliance is tilted
slightly backward –the doors will close by themselves.
•If the appliance is
placed in a corner, a gap
of at least 235 mm must be left between the
appliance body and the wall so that the freezer
door can be opened enough to pull out the
frozen product drawer (see fig.).

REVIEW OF ELECTRONIC CONTROL
TEMPERATURE REGULATION
When connecting the appliance to the mains for the first time, the blue temperature
indicating segment lights up at -18 (factory temperature setting -18 °C, but you can
select the preferred temperature according to your needs).

1.Temperature adjustment button is marked with the °C symbol.
Temperature setting in the refrigerator compartment
Activate temperature button 1: tap and keep until the temperature indicating segment
starts to flash in blue (active). Then release button 1and tap repeatedly until the
required temperature segment is blue (activated). One tap changes the temperature by
one position.
The temperature setting operates in a circle: for example, the active segment is at -22,
and if you want to set -18 °C after activation you have to tap temperature button 1 3
times –until the temperature indicating segment at -18 turns blue.
Freezer compartment temperature is adjustable on a five-point scale:
-16 –highest temperature (lowest cooling).
-24 –lowest temperature (highest cooling).
NOTE. After power loss the appliance turns on automatically, saving the last user-set
temperature in the refrigerator compartment.
IF THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT DOOR IS OPEN MORE THAN 30 SECONDS an audible
warning signal sounds, and silencing when the door is closed.
IF THE ROOM IS COOL, THE REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT COOLS LESS, SO
TEMPERATURE IN THE REFRIGERATOR CAN RISE. Use temperature setting button 1 to
select a lower temperature.
Cooling appliance on/off
SHUTDOWN. Tap and hold button 1until the three temperature indicative segments are
blue. CAUTION! Voltage remains turned off.
SWITCHING ON. Tap and hold button 1until the set temperature indication segment is
blue.
NOTE: after turning on the cooling appliance, the last temperature set by the user will
be saved.
2. Temperature indicator segments. The temperature set-point segment is
illuminated in blue (active), while the other temperature value segments are grey
(inactive).

3. The FAST FREEZE function is activated by tapping button 3 marked with the “S“
symbol. When the FAST FREEZE function is on, the white segment in the centre of the
button is on. The FAST FREEZE function automatically shuts off after 26 hours or when
a temperature below –18 °C is achieved.
FREEZING OF FOODSTUFFS
When freezing large quantities of fresh food, turn on the FAST FREEZE function 24
hours in advance –tap FAST FREEZE function button 3 marked with symbol “S“ (see
Fig. 3). The segment in the centre of the button will light. The FAST FREEZE function
automatically shuts off after 26 hours, or when a temperature below –18 °C is achieved.
The light goes out in the centre of the FAST FREEZE button. Place fresh food prepared
for freezing in one or two lines in the rapid freezing compartment marked with the
symbol After 24 hours, move the frozen food products from the FAST FREEZE
section into the storage section drawer(s) (see Fig. 1).
•DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM QUANTITY OF FROZEN PRODUCTS INDICATED IN
THE PRODUCT DATA SHEET.
•Leave a gap of not less than 2,5 cm between the foodstuffs being frozen and the
upper partition (see fig.).
•Do not place unwrapped foodstuffs in the freezer sections.
•Fresh food for freezing should not touch already frozen foodstuffs.
•Do not freeze foodstuffs that are warmer than the room temperature.
•Do not freeze liquid foodstuffs in glass vessels or bottles. Do not freeze
carbonated beverages.
•Strictly observe the frozen foodstuffs validity dates indicated by the manufacturer on
the their packaging.
•WE RECOMMEND THAT FROZEN FISH AND SAUSAGE SHOULD BE STORED IN THE
FREEZER COMPARTMENT NOT LONGER THAN 6 MONTHS; CHEESE, POULTRY, PORK,
LAMB –NOT MORE THAN 8 MONTHS; BEEF, FRUIT AND VEGETABLES –NOT LONGER
THAN 12 MONTHS.
DEFROSTING
THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT gets defrosted automatically: it operates a frost-free
cooling system (No Frost). However, according to how often the freezer door were
opened and closed, and to - how warm products were placed into the appliance, the
frost can accumulate on walls of freezer inner liner and drawers. It is normal. But the
thicker is the layer of frost, the higher is a power consumption. In case if No Frost
system had not managed to evaporate the excess moisture and the frost layer has
formed on, you should defrost the appliance. To defrost the appliance, follow the steps
in sequence:
•WA RN ING! Turn the appliance off and pull the plug out of the electrical socket.
•Remove foodstuffs from freezer compartment. The frozen foodstuffs will not warm up
too much while you are thawing the freezer compartment if you cover them with a
thick cloth and keep them in a cool place.
•Leave door of freezer open. When the frost melts, clean and wipe dry the surfaces
and fixtures. Close the freezer door. Plug in and turn on the appliance.

CLEANING AND CARE
REGULARLY CLEAN THE APPLIANCE.
Remember that before defrosting the freezer compartment and
cleaning the back part of the appliance body you must disconnect the
appliance from the electrical energy supply socket by pulling the plug
out of the electricity outlet.
•Protect the appliance inner surfaces and plastic parts from fats, acids and sauces. In
case of accidental spills –immediately clean with warm soapy water or dishwashing
detergent. Wipe dry.
•Clean the appliance inner surfaces with warm soapy water. Dishwashing detergent
may also be used. Wipe dry inner and outer surfaces.
•Regularly clean the hermetic gaskets of the doors. Wipe dry.
•At least once a year clean dust away from the back part of the appliance body and the
compressor. A soft brush, electrostatic cloth or vacuum cleaner may be used for
cleaning.
•DO NOT use detergents containing abrasive particles, acid, alcohol or benzene for
cleaning the appliance inner and outer surfaces.
•DO NOT use for cleaning cloths or sponges that have coarse surfaces intended for
scrubbing.
PRACTICAL TIPS AND OBSERVATIONS
•Strictly observe the foodstuff validity time indicated by the manufacturer on the
product packaging.

•Products will freeze more quickly if they are divided up and packed in small portions.
•IF THE APPLIANCE IS TO BE LEFT SWITCHED OFF FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD,
LEAVE ITS DOORS OPEN.
Remarks on the appliance operating noise. As the appliance operates and
goes through the freezing cycle, various noises will be emitted. This is normal
and is not a sign of any malfunction.
•As the refrigerant circulates around the refrigeration system, it causes sounds like
murmuring, bubbling or rustling. Louder sounds like popping or clicking may be heard
for a short time as the freezer compressor switches on.
CHANGING THE OPENING DIRECTION OF THE DOORS
If you have decided to change the opening direction of the refrigerator door, we
recommend doing this with an assistant. You will need: spanners No 8 and No 10, a
