Instructions for Use

Before Putting Into Use

• Before connecting the appliance to the mains

supply, place it on the location where it will later

on be installed and leave it for about 2 hours,

which will reduce a possibility of malfunctions in

the cooling system due to transport handling.

• Clean the appliance, and be thorough,

especially in the interior (See Cleaning and

Maintenance).

• In case the interior accessories are not

correctly placed, rearrange them as described

in chapter "Description of the Appliance".

Instructions for Use

These instructions for use are intended for the

user. They describe the appliance and its correct

and safe use. They were prepared for various

types of refrigerators therefore you might find in it

some functions that do not apply to your

appliance and description of the accesories that

your appliance does not include.

We Care for the Environment

• Our products use environmentally friendly

packaging, which can be either recycled or

disposed of in an environmentally friendly

manner. To this end, individual packaging

materials are clearly marked.

• These instructions are printed either on

recycled paper or chlorine free bleached paper.

• When your appliance finally wears out, please

try not to burden the environment with it; call

your nearest authorised service agent. (See

Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance)

Tips for Energy Savings

• Try not to open the door too often, especially

when the weather is wet and hot. Once you

open the door, mind to close it as soon as

possible. This is especially important if you

have an upright model.

• Every now and then check if the appliance is

sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation

behind the appliance).

• Use higher thermostat settings only when

required or recommended.

• Before loading the appliance with packages of

fresh foods, make sure they are cooled to

ambient temperature.

• Ice and frost layer increase energy

consumption, so do clean the appliance as

soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.

• If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that

the sealing is poor, the energy consumption is

substantially higher. To restore efficiency,

replace the gasket.

• The condenser on the rear wall should be

always clean, free of dust or any impurities.

• Always consider instructions stated in sections

Positioning and Energy Saving Tips, otherwise

the energy consumption is substantially higher.

Instructions for Use

Important

• If you have bought this appliance to replace an

old one equipped with a lock that cannot be

opened from inside (lock, bolt), make sure that

the lock is broken. This will make it impossible

for children to lock themselves inside the

appliance and suffocate.

• The appliance must be correctly connected to

the mains supply. (see: Connecting to the

Mains Supply).

• Do not touch the cooled surfaces while the

appliance operates, especially not with wet

hands, because the skin may stick to the cold

surfaces.

• Do not freeze bottles containing liquid,

especially not soft drinks, such as mineral

water, sparkling wine, beer, cola etc., because

liquid expands during freezing and the glass

bottle is very likely to blow up.

• Do not eat frozen food (bread, fruit,

vegetables), because you can get frostbites.

• If the food has strange smell or color, throw it

away, because it is very likely that it is spoiled

and therefore dangerous to eat.

• Disconnect the appliance from the power

supply before repairing it (only a qualified

technician should repair it), before cleaning and

before replacing the light bulb.

• Do not defrost the appliance with other electric

devices (hair dryer etc.) and never scrape the

ice or frost layer with sharp tools. Use only

enclosed tools or tools recommended by the

manufacturer.

• For the sake of environment protection - be

careful not to damage the rear wall of the

appliance (the condenser unit or the tubes - for

example when moving the appliance) or any

part of the refrigerating system inside the

appliance.

• The refrigerating system of the appliance is

filled with refrigerant and oil, so when the

appliance is damaged, handle it with care and

dispose it of in compliance with environmental

protecting precautions. (See We Care for the

Environment).

• Heating element incorporated in the appliance,

all around the rim, is controlled by the operation

of the compressor and it prevents the door

gasket to freeze on to the freezer housing.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be

replaced by the manufacturer or his service

agent or a qualified person in order to avoid

hazard.

• The rating plate is inside the appliance or

outside on the rear wall.

The symbol on the product or on its

packaging indicates that this product

may not be treated as household waste.

Instead it shall be handed over to the

applicable collection point for the recycling of

electrical and electronic equipment. By

ensuring this product is disposed of

correctly, you will help prevent potential

negative consequences for the environment

and human health, which could otherwise be

caused by inappropriate waste handling of

thisproduct. For more detailed information

about recycling of this product, please

contact your local city office, your household

waste disposal service or the shop where you

purchased the product.

Storing Time During Power

Supply Interruption

Do not open the freezer in case of failure or

power supply interruption! In case the interruption

is extended over longer period of time (16 hours),

take food out of the freezer and use it, or make

sure that is sufficiently cooled (perhaps you have

an extra appliance).

Disposing of the Worn Out

Appliance

• When your appliance finally wears out, dispose

it of. If the appliance has a lock, break it, in

order to prevent eventual accidents (danger of

children get locked inside the appliance).

• The refrigerating system of the appliance is

filled with refrigerant and insulating substances

which should be separately treated and

processed. Call your nearest authorised service

agent or specialised servicing centre. If you

don't find one, contact your local authorities or

your distributor. Be careful not to damage the

tubes on the rear wall of the appliance (danger

of pollution).

Instructions for Use

Placing and Installation

Choosing the Right Place

Place the appliance in a dry and regularly

ventilated room. Allowed ambient temperature

depends on the model (class) of the appliance

and is stated on the rating plate of the appliance.

Never place the appliance near heat emitting

devices (e.g. cooker, radiator, water heater or

similar devices) and do not expose it to direct

sunlight.

The appliance should be positioned at least 3 cm

away from the electric or gas cooker and at least

30 cm away from the oil or coal stove. If this is

not possible, use an appropriate insulation.

Behind the appliance there should be free space

at least 200 cm

wide and above the appliance

the high kitchen units should be at least 5 cm

away from the appliance in order to assure

adequate ventilation of the condenser unit.

Class Ambient temparature

SN (sub-normal) from + 10°C to + 32°C

N (normal) from + 16°C to + 32°C

ST (sub-tropical) from + 18°C to + 38°C

T (tropical) from + 18°C to + 43°C

Placing the Appliance

• Place the appliance firmly on a solid base and if

necessary level it with the two adjustable feet,

located on the front.

• Two spacers attached to the appliance must be

fitted onto the upper edge of the condenser,

thus preventing the appliance from being

installed too close to the wall. Spacers are

manufactured for all-purpose function

depending on the distance of the condenser

from the wall. Therefore turn spacers

correspondingly and fix them to the appliance.

Connection to Power Supply

Connect the appliance with the cable and plug to

the power supply socket outlet with a ground

terminal (safety socket). Required nominal

voltage and frequency are indicated on the rating

plate. The connection to the mains supply and

earthing have to be made according to current

standards and regulations. The appliance resists

temporary voltage tolerance up to -15 to +10 %.

Instructions for Use

Description of the Appliance

Refrigerator (A)

Refrigerator is used for storing fresh foods for few

days.

Freezer (B)

Freezer is used for freezing fresh foods and for

storing already frozen foods.

Shelf (1)

(number depends on the model)

Shelf can be optionally placed on the guides

inside the appliance. It is protected against pulling

out. If you want to remove it, slightly lift up the

back part and pull it out.

Glass shelves (some models only have them) are

protected with plastic spacers. Before pulling the

shelf out, spacers must be moved towards you.

Spacers can be also removed, however, it is

better to keep them for any later transport.

Quickly perishable food should be stored on the

back i.e. the coldest part of the shelves.

Bottle rack

(in some models only)

Bottle rack (number depends on model) is

intended for storing the bottles. There are two

installation positions available (horizontal or lifted

in the front) thus enabling the positioning of

bottles on the stopper as well.

It is protected against pulling out. If you want to

pull it out, simply lift its rear part and pull it

towards you.

Warning!

If the door contains storing shelves, install the

rack in such position that the length of the bottles

will not hinder the closing of the door.

The rack may carry 9 bottles of 0,75 l or more at

the maximum (total weight max. 13 kg) – note the

label underneath the thermostat box inside the

appliance.

Instructions for Use

Defrost Water Outlet (2)

Regularly check the defrost water outlet and the

channel, because they should never be clogged

(as for example with food rests). If clogged, use a

plastic straw and clean it.

Fruit and Vegetable Container (3)

The container is on the bottom under the glass

shelf and is used mainly for storing fruits and

vegetables. It provides adequate humidity which

has favourable effect on food stored.

Door Liner

The door liner consists of various shelves or

holders used for storing eggs, cheese, butter and

yogurt as well as other smaller packages, tubes,

cans etc. The lower shelf is used for storing

bottles.

Illumination in the Interior of the

Refrigerator

The light for illuminating the interior of the

appliance is on, when the door is opened. The

operation of the light does not depend on the

position of the thermostat knob.

NOTE:

• The appliance can be equipped with various

accesories, depending on the model of the

appliance.

• Door handles have various shapes, depending

on the model.

• Various accesories (spice container, tube

holder or additional shelves and drawer

partitions) can be bought in authorized centres.

Instructions for Use

Operation Control

The appliance is controlled with thermostat knob,

situated in the right upper part inside the appliance.

Turn the knob clockwise from STOP (0) position

towards 7 and backwards.

Temperature Selection

• Higher settings on the knob (towards 7) mean

lower temperatures (colder) in all

compartments of the appliance. Temperature in

the interior of the appliance may even drop

below 0°C.

When the ambient temperature is normal, we

recommend medium setting.

• Changes of the ambient temprature affect

temperature in the interior of the appliance

(choose correct setting of the thermostat knob).

• In STOP (0) position the appliance does not

operate (the cooling system is switched off), yet

power supply is not interrupted (the light is on,

when you open the refrigerator door).

Instructions for Use

Use

Storing Fresh Foods

Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed

food, correct temperature and taking into account

hygienic precautions will substantially influence

the quality of the food stored.

• Foods to be stored in the refrigerator should be

properly packed as to prevent mixing various

moisture degrees and odors (in polyethylene

bags or sheet, aluminium foil, wax paper, or

stored in covered containers or bottles).

Before you store food in the refrigerator, cool it

to ambient temperature.

• Before storing food in the refrigerator, remove

the excessive packaging (like yoghurt in multi-

package).

• Pack systematically and make sure that

foodstuffs do not touch each other (various

odours may mix). Assure adequate air

circulation around packages.

• Never store inflammable, volatile or explosive

substances.

• Beverages with high alcohol percentage shall

be stored in tightly sealed bottles in vertical

position.

• Food should not touch the rear wall of the

refrigerator!

• Foods should be cooled down before storing.

• Crispy and delicate foods should be stored in

the coldest parts of the refrigerator.

• Try not to open the door too often.

• Set the thermostat to the setting where lower

temperatures are reached. Set the thermostat

gradually as to avoid freezing of the foods.

Use a thermometer and measure the

temperature in the individual compartments.

Place the thermostat in a glass vessel filled with

water. Temperature readings are most reliable

few hour after steady state is reached.

• Some organic solutions like volatile oils in

lemon or orange peel, acid in butter etc. can

cause damages and when in contact with

plastic surfaces or gaskets for longer period of

time.

• Unpleasant odor inside the refrigerator is a sign

that something is wrong with foods or that your

refrigerator needs cleaning. Unpleasant odor

can be eliminated or reduced by washing the

interior of the refrigerator with a mild solution of

water and vinegar. We also recommend using

activated carbon filters to clean the air or to

neutralize odors.

• If you plan a longer journey, make sure to

remove quickly perishable articles of food out of

the appliance before you leave.

Instructions for Use

Freezing Fresh Foods

• Carefully select food you intend to freeze; it

should be of adequate quality and suitable for

freezing.

• Use correct packaging and wrap it right.

− The packaging should be air tight and

shouldn't leak since this could cause

substantial vitamin loss and dehydration of

foods.

− Foils and bags should be soft enough to

tightly wrap around the foods.

• When preparing foods to be frozen, consider

sanitary precautions.

• Mark packages with following data: kind and

amount of foods and the date of loading.

• It is most important that the food is frozen as

quickly as possible. Therefore we recommend

the size of the package not to be too large and

to be cooled before loading into the freezer.

• The amount of fresh foods that can be loaded

in the freezer within 24 hours is indicated on the

rating plate (freezing capacity).

If the loaded amount is too large, the quality of

freezing is reduced which affects the quality of

frozen foods.

Freezing Procedure

• If you have a model without the integrated

switch for intensive cooling, turn the

thermostat knob to position 4-7 some 24 hours

before loading. After 24 hours load the freezer

shelf with fresh food packages. Some 24 hours

after loading, turn the thermostat knob to

operating position if necessary (see

Temperature selection), and then reload the

frozen packages into the storage baskets.

• If you have a model with integrated switch

for intensive cooling, switch it on some 24

hours before loading the appliance with larger

amounts of fresh foods and turn the thermostat

knob to position 4-7. After 24 hours load the

appliance with fresh food packages. After

loading, wait for another 24 hours and switch

off the switch and turn the thermostat knob to

required position (see Temperature selection).

The switch is ON when the marking

(I) or

colour marking is visible, and OFF when the

marking

(0) is visible or colour marking is not

visible (depending on model).

• The next time you want to freeze fresh foods,

repeat the freezing procedure and be careful

that packages with fresh foods do not touch

frozen packages.

• For freezing smaller amount of foods (up to 1

kg) there is no need to change the thermostat

setting (see Temperature Selection).

Storing Frozen Foods

Packages of frozen foods are stored in the

basket. If you remove the baskets, you can store

frozen packages directly on the cooling shelves.

Commercially Frozen Foods

The storage time and the recommended

temperature for storing commercially frozen foods

are indicated on the packaging. For storing and

using consider the manufacturer's instruction.

When shopping, be careful and choose only

adequately packed foods provided with complete

data and stored in freezers where the

temperature is not higher than -18°C. Do not buy

packages of food covered with frost layer. This

indicates that the package was thawed before at

least once.

Be careful that packages don't start to thaw, as

the temperature raise reduces the quality of

foods.

Defrosting Frozen Food

Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be

used as soon as possible. Cold air preserves the

food but it does not destroy microorganisms

which rapidly activate after defrosting and make

foods perishable. Partial defrosting reduces the

nutritional value of foods, especially of fruits,

vegetables and ready-made meals.

Ice Making

Recommended thermostat position for ice

making is on the middle setting.

Fill two thirds of the ice tray with cold water or any

other liquid convenient for freezing.

Time required for the ice to form, largely depends

on ambient temperature, thermostat setting and

on how often you open the door. It usually takes

2-6 hours (depends on which model of

refrigerator you have). With smaller refrigerators

we recommend you make a stock of ice cubes

(store them in a separate plastic box). The

easiest way to empty the ice tray is to turn the

tray around and slightly twist it (bend it).

Instructions for Use

Changing the Direction of Opening the Door

Tilt the appliance so that the bottom hinge can be

unscrewed and proceed with disassembling as

shown in the Figure 3. Then fix the assembly

parts again in the opposite turn. Use the attached

opposite hinge insert piece.

Use the bungs, which have been pulled out, on

the opposite side. Check the door seal. In case

that it does not rest well, take it off and turn it by

180

°.

Instructions for Use

Maintenance and Cleaning

Automatic Defrosting of the

Refrigerator

There is no need to defrost the refrigerator,

because ice depositing on the inner back wall is

defrosted automatically. Ice is depositing on the

inner back wall during the compressor operation;

later on, when the compressor is not operating

ice is defrosting and water drops collect and drain

through the outlet in the inner back wall into the

drain pan situated above the compressor, from

where it evaporates.

Manual Defrosting of the Freezer

When the frost and ice layer in the freezer is 3-5

mm thick, you should clean the freezer.

• Few hours before defrosting set the thermostat

to position 7, so that packages are well frozen.

Reset the thermostat to STOP (0) position and

disconnect the power supply. Empty the freezer

and take care that the packages remain frozen.

• Leave the door open for a while so that you can

easy scrape off the frost. Use the plastic

scraper but be careful not to damage the inner

surfaces of the freezer.

Wipe up the scraped frost and ice before it is

completely defrosted.

• Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may

cause damage to the plastic parts and may be

hazardous to health.

Cleaning the Appliance

Disconnect the power supply before cleaning

the appliance.

Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning agents

as you can damage the surface.

Be careful to remove any cleanser agent

remaining after cleaning.

• Clean the exterior with water and detergent.

Varnished surfaces are cleaned with soft cloth

and an alcohol based cleaning agent (for

example glass cleaners). You may also use

alcohol (ethanol or isoprophylic alcohol).

The application of abrasive and specially

aggressive cleaners, such as the stainless steel

cleaners, is not appropriate for the cleaning of

plastic and coated parts.

• Remove the detachable accesories in the

interior of the appliance and clean it with water

and liquid detergent. Plastic parts cannot be

washed in washing machine.

• Wash the interior of the appliance with

lukewarm water, in which you added one or two

spoonfuls of vinegar.

• Every now and then wipe the condenser on the

rear wall. Use soft non-metal brush or vacuum

cleaner.

• Do not forget to clean also the defrost water

receptacle above the refrigerator compressor

(do not remove the receptacle).

After cleaning, connect the appliance to power

supply and reload the packages.

Switch Off the Appliance When

Not In Use

If you do not intend to use the appliance for a

longer period, set the thermostat knob to the

STOP (0) position, disconnect the power supply,

take out the foods and defrost and clean the

appliance. Leave the door slightly open.

Instructions for Use

Trouble-Shooting Guide

During the service, you can come across some

troubles that in most cases result from improper

handling of the appliance and can easy be

eliminated.

The Appliance Fails to Operate After

connecting to the Mains Supply

• Check the supply in the outlet socket and make

sure the appliance is switched on (thermostat in

operating position).

Continuous Operation of the

Refrigerating System

• The door was frequently opened or it was left

opened for too long;

• The door is not properly closed (the door may

sag, the gasket may be polluted or damaged);

• Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance

with fresh foods;

• The reason may be inadequate ventilation of

the compressor and condenser (assure

adequate air circulation and wipe off the

condenser);

• Continuous operation button activated (see

section Freezing of Food).

Ice Formation on the Inner Rear

Wall

As long as the defrost water runs to the channel

and through the opening to the drain pan on the

compressor, automatic defrosting of the

appliance is assured. In case the ice formation on

the inner back wall is increased (3-5 mm), ice

should be manually defrosted.

Set the thermostat knob to STOP (0) position and

leave the door open. Never use electric devices

for defrosting and do not scrape the ice or frost

layer with sharp objects. After completed

defrosting, turn the knob to desired position and

close the refrigerator door.

The cause of increased ice formation may be one

of the following:

− the door does not seal well (clean the gasket if

it is contaminated, or replace it if it is damaged);

− the door was frequently opened or it was left

opened for too long;

− the food stored in the refrigerator was warm;

− the food or dish is touching the inner back wall.

Water is Leaking From the

Refrigerator

In case the discharge water outlet is clogged, or

the defrost water drips over the channel, water

leaks from the refrigerator.

• Clean the clogged opening, for example with a

plastic straw.

• Manually defrost the increased ice layer. See

"Ice Formation on the Inner Back Wall".

The Freezer Door is Hard to Open

If you want to open the door that has just or

recently been closed, you may find it hard to

open. The reason why this happens is, that when

you open the door, warm air gets into the

appliance and when it is getting cool, the

underpressure seals the door. After few minutes

(5-10), the door can easily be opened.

Noise

Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is

enabled by the refrigerating system with

compressor, which produces noise. How noisy

the appliance is depends on where it is placed,

how it is used and how old the appliance is.

• During the operation of the compressor the

noise of liquid is heard and when the

compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow

is heard. This is a normal condition and it has

no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the

appliance.

• After starting the appliance, the operation of

the compressor and the refrigerant flow may be

louder, which does not mean that something is

wrong with the appliance and it has no

influence on the lifetime of the appliance.

Gradually the noise is reduced.

• Sometimes unusual and stronger noise is

heard, which is rather unusual for the

appliance. This noise is often a consequence of

inadequate placing.

− The appliance shall be placed and levelled

firmly on solid base.

− It should not touch the wall or kitchen units

standing next to it.

− Check the accesories in the interior of the

appliance, they should be placed correctly in

their positions; also check the bottles, tins

and other vessels that might touch each other

and rattle.

Instructions for Use

Bulb Replacement

Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the

appliance form the power supply. Press the cover

at the rear side (in the arrow 1 direction) and

remove the plastic cover (in the arrow 2

direction). Replace the bulb with a new one (E14,

max. 15 W). Don't forget: the old bulb does not

belong to organic waste. Light bulb is

consuming good therefore our in-guarantee

service does not relate to it.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ALTER THE SPECIFICATIONS WITH NO

INFLUENCE ON THE OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE.
