INSTALLATION AND OPERATING CONDITIONS OF THE
APPLIANCE
Positioning:
•This appliance can be installed in a dry, well ventilated indoor where the ambient
temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated on the rating plate of the
appliance.
Do not install this appliance in areas that are too humid or too colds, such as
the construction appendices, garages or wine cellars. Place the appliance
away from heat sources such as kitchen stove/oven, radiators, or direct
sunlight. The appliance must not touch any pipes for heating, gas or water
supply, or any other electrical devices.
Minimum distances from the heat sources:
- from the electric gas and other ovens - 30 mm,
- from oil or coal fired ovens - 300 mm,
- from built-in ovens - 50 mm
If there is no possibility of ensuring the above- mentioned distances, provide an
appropriate insulation board.
•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 you are positioning the refrigerator in a corner, leave
a gap of at least 1 cm between the wall and the body of
the appliance so that the refrigerator door opens enough
to enable the fruit and vegetable tray to be pulled out.
•Preparing for operation:
•It is recommended to prepare the appliance for operation with a helper.
•Remove package. Lift the appliance away from foamed polystyrene base. Tear off
adhesive tapes. Remove all red-coloured parts from the shelves and coloured adhesive
tapes from the door trays
•When placing, moving, lifting the appliance, do not hold the door handles, do
not pull the condenser at the rear part of the refrigerator and do not touch
the compressor unit.

5
•Take two supports 1from the bag and insert them into the
guides 2at the top back part of the appliance.
The appliance should not be connected to the mains
until all packing and transport materials aren’t
removed. Suitably dispose the packaging material.
First use:
•Before using the appliance for the first time, the interior and all internal accessories
should be washed with lukewarm water and some neutral soap to remove the typical
smell of a brandnew product, then dried thoroughly.
Wait at least 4 hours before connecting the appliance to the
power supply. This is to allow the oil to flow back in the compressor. If
this is not done, the appliance compressor may fail.
•When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours.

TEMPERATURE REGULATION
The temperature in the refrigerator compartment is controlled using the thermostat knob
2(fig. 1) by turning it to one side or the other. The temperature indication in digits is
shown beside the thermostat knob 2.
The temperature is regulated on a scale of seven digits.
0= Compressor is switched off. WARNING! Electric current is not switched off.
1= highest temperature (lowest cooling)
7= lowest temperature (highest cooling)
The temperature in the refrigerator compartment can vary due to the ambient
temperature, the amount of food, and the frequent opening of the refrigerator
door.
If the room is cool, the appliance cools less. The temperature in the appliance may
therefore rise. Use the thermostat wheel to set a lower temperature.
FOOD STORAGE
Temperature zones in the refrigerator:
Due to the natural air circulation, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator
compartment.
1) The upper part of the refrigerator compartment and the door - the warmest area: store
tropical fruits, cans, drinks, eggs, sauces, canned products, butter, jam.
2) The middle part of the refrigerator compartment - cold zone: store cheese, milk, dairy
products, delicacies, yogurt.
3) The lower part of the refrigerator compartment - the coldest area: keep cold snacks,
desserts, meat and fish, cheesecake, fresh pasta, sour cream, pesto / salsa sauce, home-
cooked food, dough, pudding and cream cheese.
4) Fruit and vegetable drawer at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment: Store
vegetables and fruits (except tropical fruits).
To avoid food contamination, follow the instructions below:
• Prolonged opening of the door can significantly increase the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance: only open the door for the time required to place /
remove food.
• Regularly clean surfaces that may come into contact with food and accessible drainage
systems.
• Store fresh meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator so that they do not
come into contact with or drip on other food.
• If the appliance is left empty for a long time, switch it off, defrost, clean, dry and leave
the door open to prevent mold from forming inside the appliance.
Freezing of foodstuff:
Food to be frozen should first be allowed to cool off to room temperature and then should
be placed in one row at the bottom of the freezer compartment.
The thermostat knob should be set to 7. Fresh foodstuffs prepared for freezing and
cooled to room temperature should be placed in one layer at the bottom of the freezer.
After 24 hours, move the frozen foodstuffs onto the wire shelf 8(see illustration 1). When
the products are frozen, the thermostat wheel should be set at its earlier position.

•DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM QUANTITY OF FROZEN PRODUCTS INDICATED IN THE
Product data sheet (Product Fiche).
•Do not put unpackaged food in the freezer compartments.
•Do not freeze liquid foodstuffs in glass vessels or bottles. Do not freeze
carbonated beverages.
•Fresh frozen food must not come into contact with food that has already been frozen.
•Do not freeze food that is above ambient temperature.
•Strictly adhere to the expiration date for frozen foods as stated by the manufacturer on
the product 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, CLEANING AND CARE
THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT DEFROSTS AUTOMATICALLY. Drops of ice that form
on the back wall of the refrigerator compartment thaw during the time the compressor is
not working and the thaw water runs down the thaw water runoff channel to the tray on
top of the compressor (Fig. 1), where it evaporates.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT should be thawed not less than twice a year or when a layer of
ice thicker than 5 mm forms in it. Do the actions below in the order they are listed:
WARNING! Turn the appliance off and pull the plug out of the electrical socket.
•Remove foodstuffs from freezer compartment.
•Leave freezer compartment door partly open. When the ice melts, clean and wipe dry
the surfaces and fixtures of the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
•Close the appliance door. Plug in and turn on the appliance.
REGULARLY CLEAN THE APPLIANCE.
Remember that before defrosting the appliance 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.
•Regularly clean the hermetic gaskets of the doors. Wipe dry.
•Regularly clean the thaw water channel space in the refrigerator with
a special cleaner for that purpose (see fig.).
•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.
•If the appliance is to be left switched off for an extended period, leave its doors open.

OPERATION PROBLEMS AND
THEIR SOLUTIONS (TROUBLESHOOTING). What if…
•The appliance is plugged in to the mains but it does not work and. Check that
your house electricity supply installations are in order. Check that the plug is correctly
inserted into the electricity supply socket.
•The noise has become louder. Check that the appliance is standing stable on a level
place. To make it level, regulate the front feet. Check if the appliance is not touching
any furniture and that no part of the refrigeration system at the back part of the
appliance body is touching the wall. Pull the appliance away from any furniture or walls.
Check that the cause of increased noise isn’t due to bottles, cans or dishes in the
appliance that might be touching each other.
•Water has appeared at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment. Check
whether a thaw water channel space isn’t blocked. Clean the thaw water channel space
with a cleaner intended for that purpose.
•Water has appeared on the tempered glass shelves. Food items or dishes in the
refrigerator compartment are touching the back wall of the compartment. Do not let
food items or dishes touch the back wall.
•Moisture dripping from under the glass shelves. If you placed many containers
with liquids on the shelf, moisture can condense and drip onto the shelf below. Move
some containers with liquids onto other shelves.
•Water has appeared under the appliance. The thaw water collection tray has
slipped off the compressor. Place the tray on top of the compressor.
•When the appliance door is opened, the rubber sealing gasket pulls out. The
gasket is smeared with sticky foodstuffs (fat, syrup). Clean the sealing gasket and the
groove for it with warm water containing soap or dishwashing detergent and wipe dry.
Put the rubber sealing gasket back into the place.
•High temperature in appliance, the compressor operation pauses are short.
Ascertain whether the appliance doors are shutting tightly, whether the door wasn’t kept
open longer than necessary when taking out or putting in foodstuffs or whether a large
amount of warm food was placed in the appliance.
•The top of the appliance has condensation on it. The ambient relative air humidity
is above 70 %. Ventilate the room where the appliance stands and if possible remove
the cause of the humidity.

9
R em a r ks o n th e a pp l i an c e o pe r a ti n g n oi s e . 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 refrigerator’s compressor switches on.
