This appliance is manufactured in compliance with relevant
safety standards. However, it is still advisable it is not used
without due supervision by persons with diminished physical,
motoric, or mental capabilities or persons with inadequate
experience or knowledge. The same recommendation
applies to minors using the appliance.
If you bought this appliance to replace an old one that was
equipped with a lock that cannot be opened from inside of
the appliance (lock, bolt), make sure that the lock is broken.
This will make it impossible for children to lock themselves
inside the refrigerator and suffocate.
The appliance must be correctly connected to the power
mains (see: Connecting to the Power Mains).
If the food has strange smell or colour, 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 appliances
(as for example with hair dryer) and never scrape the frost
layer with sharp objects. Use only enclosed tools or tools
recommended by the manufacturer.
To protect the environment, 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
refrigeration system inside the appliance.
The refrigeration system of the appliance is filled with
refrigerant and oil. When the appliance is damaged, handle
it with care and dispose it of in compliance with environment-
protection regulations (see We Care for the Environment).
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, a service agent or other qualified person in
order to avoid hazard.
The rating plate is located inside the appliance or outside on
the rear wall.
Warning!
Ventilation slots on the appliance or a built-in
element must always be clean and unobstructed.
Warning!
Do not use mechanical devices or tools to defrost
the refrigerator, nor any other methods except for those
recommended by the manufacturer.
Warning!

appliance, make sure the insulation on the refrigeration
system parts is not damaged. Thus you will also prevent
damage to the environment.
Warning!
Do not use electric appliances in the refrigerator

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 it 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 appropriate insulation.

Connection to power supply
Use the cable and plug to connect the appliance to the power
supply socket with a ground terminal (safety socket).
Required nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the
rating plate.
The connections to the mains supply and earthing have to be
made according to currently relevant standards and
regulations. The appliance resists temporary voltage
fluctuations of up to +/- 6%.
Adjusting the height of the appliance
