General safety precautions
Keep these instructions and they should remain at
the appliance when moving away or changing
owner.
This appliance is designed for storing food,
domestic use according to these instructions only.
Specialised companies that are qualified to do
so by the manufacturer must carry out service
and repairs including repairing and changing
the power cord.Accessory parts supplied by
them should be used only for repairing. Otherwise
the appliance can be damaged or can cause other
damage or injury.
The appliance is out of circuit only in that case if the
plug is removed from the socket. Before cleaning
and maintenance always unplug it (do not get it by
the cable). If the socket is difficult to reach, switch
off the appliance by cutting off the current.
Power cord must not be lengthened.
Make sure that the power plug is not squashed
or damaged by the back of the fridge/freezer.
- A damaged power plug may overheat and cause a
fire.
Do not place heavy articles or the
fridge/freezer itself on the power cord.
- There is a risk of a short circuit and fire.
Do not remove the power cord by pulling on its
lead, particularly when the fridge/freezer is
being pulled out of its niche.
- Damage to the cord may cause a short-circuit, fire
and/or electric shock.
- If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by a certified service agent or  qualified service
personnel.
If the power plug socket is loose, do not insert
the power plug.
- There is a risk of electric shock or fire.
Without the lamp cover of interior lighting you must
not operate the appliance.
When cleaning, defrosting, taking out frozen food
or ice tray do not use sharp, pointed or hard
devices, as they can cause damage to the
appliance.
Be careful not to allow liquids to the temperature
control and lighting box.
Ice and ice-cream can cause hurt if they are eaten
immediately after removal from the frozen food
compartment.
After dissolving frozen food must not be refrozen, it
must be used up as soon as possible.
Store pre-packed frozen food in accordance with
the frozen food manufacturer's instructions.
You must not make defrosting faster with any
electric heating appliance or chemicals.
Do not put hot pot to the plastic parts.
Do not store flammable gas and liquid in the
appliance, because they may explode.
Do not store carbonated drinks, bottled drinks and
bottled fruits in the frozen food compartment.
Precautions for child safety
Do not allow children to play with the packaging
of the appliance. Plastic foil can cause
suffocation.
Adults must handle the appliance. Do not allow
children to play with it or its controlling parts.
If you are discarding the appliance pull the plug
out of the socket, cut the connection cable (as
close to the appliance as you can) and remove
the door to prevent playing children to suffer
electric shock or to close themselves into it.
Safety precautions for
installation
Put the appliance to the wall to avoid touching or
catching warm parts (compressor, condenser)
to prevent possible burn.
When moving the appliance take care of the plug
not to be in the socket.
When placing the appliance take care not to
stand it on the power cord.
Adequate air circulation should be around the
appliance, lacking this leads to overheating. To
achieve sufficient ventilation follow the
instructions relevant to installation.
For the safety of life and property keep
the precautions of these user's
instructions as the manufacturer is not
responsible for damages caused by omissio
n.
Safety precautions for
isobutane
Warning
The refrigerant of the appliance is isobutane 
(R 600a) that is inflammable and explosive to a
greater extent.
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance
enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of
obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means
to accelerate the defrosting process, other than
those recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food
storage compartments of the appliance, unless
they are of the type recommended by the
manufacturer.
GB
Check and clean the outlet of melting water
coming during defrosting regularly. If it is
clogged the melting water gathered can cause
earlier failure.

The display returns to showing the ambient
temperature, however the background remains red
until the freezer cools down properly.
Should you press no button during alarm, press the
"E" button when the sound finishes to see the
warmest temperature reached during the alarm.
Handling the appliance
Putting it into use
Place the accessories into the appliance then plug
to the mains socket.
Press the "A" button. The backlight of the display
turns on.
The applince is ready to use.
Pressing the "A" button again the appliance is off,
but still under voltage.
Controlling the temperature, setting
The thermostats interrupt the cooling automatically
for more or less time depending on the setting then
restarts it assuring the required temperature.
Temperature of the refrigerator and freezer can be
set by knobs "F" and "B", respectively. The set
temperature is seen blinking on the display.
For everyday use medium setting, i.e. +5 °C in the
refrigerator and colder than -18 °C is the freezer is
recommended.
Allow the appliance to run for a period of 24 hours
whenever the temperature setting is changed. This
will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the
appliance.
The temperature coming about in the refrigerator is
effected by not only the position of the thermostat
but the ambient temperature, frequency of door
openings and the quantity of food put into it newly,
etc.
When the coldest temperature possible is
set - in case of increased demand e.g.
during heatwaves - the compressor may
operate continually. This does not cause
damages to the appliance.
How to use the refrigerator
For adequate cooling developing interior air
circulation is necessary. For this reason you
are asked not to cover the air circulation gaps
behind the shelves (e.g. with tray etc.).
Do not put hot food into the refrigerator.
Allow it to reach room temperature
naturally. In this way the unnnecessary frost
building up can be avoided.
Foods can take over odours from each
other. So it is essential to put foods in
closed dishes or wrap them in cellophane,
aluminium foil, grease-proof paper or cling film
before placing them into the refrigerator. This
way foods will keep their moisture e.g.
vegetables will not dry out after some days.

GB
Drawer
The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and
vegetables.
There is a separator inside the drawer that can be
placed in different position to allow for the
subdivision best suited to personal needs.
Shopping mode
Before putting a bigger amount of food into the
refrigerator (e.g. when returning from shopping)
press the function selection button once or twice as
occasion requires to obtain shopping mode (the
shopping mode symbol shown on the display). In
this manner the refrigerator reaches its lowest
possible temperature to cool down the bigger
amount of food.
To exit from shopping mode press the function
selection button again. Should you not do so, after
a while the refrigerator returns to automatic mode.
Storing in the refrigerator
When placing the different kinds of food take into
consideration the sketch below in figure:
1. Confectionery, ready-cooked foods, foods in 
dishes, fresh meat, cold cuts, drinks
2. Milk, dairy products, foods in dishes
3. Fruits, vegetables, salads
4. Cheese, butter
5. Eggs
6. Yoghurt, sour cream
7. Small bottles, soft drinks
8. Big bottles, drinks
Storage time and temperature
of foods
The storage time chart at the end of the instruction
book gives information about storage time.
The storage time can not be determined exactly in
advance, as it depends on the freshness and
handling of the cooled food. That is why the storage
time made known is only informative.
If you do not want to use up deep-frozen foods
bought immediately they can be stored for about 1
day (until dissolving) in the refrigerator.
How to use the freezer
Freezing
The appliance can be used to freeze fresh food of
quantity specified on the data label. Freezing
different products should always be done after
proper preparing as follows.
Press the function selection button once or twice as
occasion requires to obtain super freezing mode
(the super freezing mode symbol shown on the
display).
 
						

							70
GB
Put the previously frozen food to another basket or
baskets. Put the fresh food into the lower basket,
leaving enough space for airflow.
Run the appliance this way for 24 hours.
To exit from super freezing mode press the function
selection button again. Should you not do so, after
a while the freezer returns to automatic mode.
Never freeze food in bigger quantity than
given in the 'Technical data' at the same
time, otherwise freezing will not be thorough
and after dissolving various deterioration may
take place (losing taste and aroma, lysing, etc.).
Do not make ice during freezing preferably,
because making ice reduces freezing
capacity.
The freezing tray is suitable for freezing
smaller fruits (raspberry, strawberry, currant,
etc.).
Fruits should be put in the tray in thin layers without
packaging. After freezing they can be packed and
sorted out then placed into the storing
compartments.
Storing in the freezer
It is practical to replace frozen products into the
basket(s) after freezing has finished. Doing this you
could make room in the freezing compartment for
another freezing. Intermediate freezing does not
deteriorate foods already stored.
In large quantities of food are to be stored, remove
the baskets except the lowermost one from
appliance and place food on the shelves.
Do not forget to keep to the storage time given
on the packaging of frozen products if you buy
them frozen
It is safe to store quick-frozen, frozen foods
only if they have not dissolved even for a short
time until placing them into the freezer. If the deep-
frozen food has already dissolved, refreezing is not
recommended, it has to be used up as soon as
possible.
How to make ice cubes
To make ice cubes fill the enclosed ice cube tray
with water and put it to the frozen food
compartment. Setting thermostatic control knob to
maximum position can shorten preparing time. After
finishing do not forget to reset the thermostatic
control to the suitable position.
Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under
running water then twist or hit it. If the ice tray
freezes to the compartment, avoid using metal tools
or knife to take it out as the cooling system can be
damaged.

Some useful information and
advice
The variable shelves are worth paying attention
to, which increases the usability of the fresh food
compartment considerably. Rearranging the
shelves is also possible when the door is open at
an angle of 90° .
After opening and closing the door of freezer
vacuum will rise inside the appliance because of
the low temperature. So wait 2-3 minutes after
closing the door - if you want to open it again -
while inner pressure equalises.
Take care of opening the freezer at a position of
thermostatic control so that the inside
temperature can never be warmer than -18°C.
It is practical to make sure of faultless operation
of the appliance daily so as to notice possible
failure in time and prevent deterioration of frozen
foods.
Normal operating sounds:
A thermostat controls the compressor and you
will hear a faint click when thermostat cuts in
and out.
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sound
when the refrigerant is pumped through the
coils at the rear, to the cooling
plate/evaporator.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is
being pumped round and you will hear a
whirring sound or pulsating noise from the
compressor.
The fridge evaporator (this part cool down the
fridge section) is foamed into the cabinet. The
temperature of this part changing during its
work, and parallel with this its dimensions are
slightly changing, too. These changes might
cause a cracking noise, which is a natural,
harmless phenomenon.
Should you want to check the temperature of
food stored in the refrigerator, place a glass of
water centrally in the cabinet, and put a proper
thermometer with an accuracy of +/- 1°C into it.
If after 6 hours you measure a value around that
seen on the display, the refrigerator works
properly. The measuring shall be performed
under steady-stated conditions (without changing
the load).
If the freezer temperature is measured using a
thermometer, put it between the products since
this will reflect the real temperature in the frozen
products. It is normal that the built-in temperature
display shows a temperature slightly above that
measured in other ways.
Hints and ideas
In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given
about how to use the appliance to reach maximum
energy saving and there is environmental
information about the appliance as well.
