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).
•
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.

Storing Time During Power Supply Interruption
Do not open the freezer in case of failure or power supply
interruption!
This way the intrusion of warm air is prevented.
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).
Placing and Installation
Choosing the Right Place
Place the appliance in dry and regularly ventilated room.
Allowed ambient temperature depends on the model (class) of
the appliance and is started 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 cm² 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 temperature
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. Some appliances
have adjustable feet on the front side; use them to level the
appliance.
•
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 %.
