Transportation, unpacking

It is recommended to deliver the appliance in original packaging, in vertical position considering the protective warning on packaging.

After each transportation the appliance must not be switched on for approx. 2 hours.

Unpack the appliance and check if there are damages on it. Report possible damages immediately to the place you bought it. In that case retain packaging.

Cleaning

Remove every adhesive tape, which ensure the parts not to move in the appliance.

Wash the inside of the appliance using lukewarm water and mild detergent. Use soft cloth.

After cleaning wipe out the inside of the appliance.

Placement

The ambient temperature has an effect on the energy consumption and proper operation of the appliance. When placing, take into consideration that it is practical to operate the appliance between ambient temperature limits according to the climate class that is

given in the chart below and can be found in the data label.

Class of climate	Ambient temperature
SN	+10 ... +32 °C
N	+16 ... +32 °C
ST	+18 ... + 38 °C

If the ambient temperature goes below the lower data the temperature of the cooling compartment can go beyond the prescribed temperature.

If the ambient temperature goes beyond the upper data this means longer operating time of the compressor, increasing temperature in the freezer or increasing energy consumption.

When placing the appliance ensure that it stands level. This can be achieved by two adjustable feet (1) at the bottom in front. 1-1 piece of distance washers (2) are accessories of the adjustable feet. If levelling the appliance requires, these washers can be removed.

Do not stand the appliance on a sunny place or close to a radiator or cooker.

If it is unavoidable because of furnishing and the appliance has to be stood near a cooker take these minimum distances into consideration:

• In case of gas or electric cooker 3~cm must be left, when it is less put a 0,5 - 1 cm non-flam insulation between the two appliances.
• In case of oil or coal-fired stove the distance must be 30~cm since they give off more heat.

The refrigerator is designed to operate when it is totally pushed to the wall.

When placing the refrigerator keep minimal distances recommended in figure.

A:placing it under a wall-cupboard
B:placing it freely

Operation and use

Installation

Insert the plug into the socket. In order to switch on the product, turn the thermostat (B) to a temperature lower than << -16^ >> . The green indicator will light up and the red indicator will blink. The lighting up of the on/off indicator (A) means that the product is switched on. The blinking of the red indicator means an improper temperature in the freezing compartment. In addition, an intermittent sound can be heard, which can be stopped by pressing button (D) once. You can switch off the freezer by turning the thermostat (B) in position << >> .

Adjusting the temperature

The internal temperature of the freezer is regulated electronically through five temperature positions and a switch-off << >> setting.

Position << -16^ >> indicates the highest (least cold) temperature, while position << -24^ >> is for the lowest (coldest) temperature. Rotate the thermostat in the desired position.

In general, it is best to set the thermostat to << -18^ >> but, for the purpose of temperature setting, you should also consider

• the temperature of the room where the product is installed,
  the frequency of door openings,
  the volume of food to be stored in the product,
  the location of the product.

Therefore, you should consider all these factors and you may have to do some testing for finding the best temperature. If you want a lower temperature, turn the thermostat into a position of higher number or, vice versa, if you need a higher temperature, you should set a position of lower number. Please allow 24 hours for the freezer temperature to stabilize between two adjustments.

Alarm (red) indicator

The temperature alarm indicator (E) will light up when the internal temperature of the freezer increases to a level (above -12^ ) where the long-term conservation of the foods in not ensured. Please note that, when switching on the freezer for the first time, the alarm indicator will blink until the internal temperature

has reached a level required for the safe conservation of frozen food.

Temperature problem:

Under normal operating conditions, the internal temperature of the freezer will ensure the long-term conservation of the stored food. When such temperature rises above a certain level (-12^) , it will trigger an acoustic and light alarm. The light alarm is a continuous red light (E), while the acoustic alarm is an intermittent sound. You can stop the acoustic alarm by pressing switch (D) once.

Freezing

Prepare the various foods properly and then freeze them always in the freezing compartment. For maximum freezing performance remove the freezer tray and baskets and then place the foods to be frozen directly on the evaporator. In case of freezing smaller food volumes you do not need to remove the freezer tray and baskets.

For using the quick freeze function, press the quick freeze on/off switch (D) for 2-3 seconds; in the case of small and great food volumes you should do it approx. 4 and 24 hours, respectively, before you want to freeze the fresh food. The yellow indicator (C) will light up. The compressor will operate continuously until the product reaches the freezing temperature.

Once the food is completely frozen (it may take up to 24 hours) you can manually switch off the quick freeze function by pressing the switch (D) for 2-3 seconds. If not switched off manually, the quick freeze function will be automatically switched off 48 hours later. The yellow indicator (C) will also go out.

Storing

It is practical to replace frozen products into the storing compartments (cages) after freezing has finished so that to make room in the freezing compartment for another freezing.

In large quantities of food are to be stored, remove the baskets except the lowermost one from appliance and place food on the shelves.

Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods already stored.

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. Wetting the bottom of the tray and setting thermostatic control knob to maximum stage can shorten preparing time. After finishing do not forget to reset the thermostatic control to the suitable stage.

Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under running water then twist or hit it.

Freezing and storage of frozen foods

• As freezing with "No-Frost" technology is quicker, the foods frozen this way will preserve their original form, nutritional value and taste even after thawing.
• Place the foods to be frozen in the lower part of the product.
• For the perfect operation of the product, make sure that the frozen foods will not touch the ventilator cover or the ventilator mounted on the backside of the product.
• For the best results it is recommended to distribute the frozen foods evenly in the boxes.

• If you make small portions of the foods, the freezing process will take less time and subsequent thawing will be possible in small portions also.

• In order to avoid freezing burns, do not touch ice-creams immediately after they have been taken out from the freezer.

• It is recommended to state the freezing date on the package so that later you can check the storage duration.

The time of transportation from the seller to the consumer must be as short as possible.

Some useful information and advice

• 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 operating the freezer at a position of thermostatic control so that the inside temperature can never go beyond -18 °C, since temperature higher than this can deteriorate frozen foods.
  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.
• After a power failure the product will restart and the quick freeze function will be switched on.

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.

How to save energy

• Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place and near anything that gives off heat.

• Be sure that the condenser and the compressor are well ventilated. Do not cover the sections where ventilation is.

• Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film to avoid building up unnecessary frost.
• Avoid products put in the freezer compartment to touch foods already frozen.
• Do not leave the door open longer than necessary and avoid unnecessary openings.
• Put warm foods into the appliance only when they are at room temperature.
• The condenser must be kept clean.

The appliance and environment

This appliance does not contain gasses which could damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant circuit or insulation materials. The appliance shall not be discarded together with the urban refuse and rubbish. Avoid damaging the cooling unit, especially at the rear near the heat exchanger. Information on your local disposal sites may be obtained from your municipal authorities.

The materials used on this appliance marked with the sympol are recyclable.

Maintenance

Automatic defrosting

This product is designed to avoid the formation of ice in the freezer. Accordingly, there is no need for manual defrosting. The product will automatically perform any defrosting once it becomes necessary.

No-Frost technology

In order to facilitate the removal of the ice layer, the evaporator is assisted by electric heating during the defrosting procedure. The ventilator is in OFF position. The defrost water will drip in the tray placed at the compressor and will evaporate. In the course of the defrosting procedure (approx. 30 minutes) the evaporator becomes warm but it has no influence on the internal temperature.

The foods should be kept well-packed in order to avoid any moisture loss as a result of air circulation.

Do not obstruct the vent holes because otherwise the operability of the product may be compromised.

For such purpose it is recommended to put all foods in the baskets in the freezer compartment.

Regular cleaning

It is practical to clean the inside of the freezer and defrost it at a time.

Household cleaner or soap must not be used.

After breaking the circuit wash the appliance using lukewarm water and wipe it.

Clean the door gasket with clean water.

After cleaning apply voltage to the appliance.

It is recommended to remove the dust and dirt collected on the back of the appliance and the condenser once or twice a year.

When the refrigerator is not in use

If you do not use the product for longer periods, make sure to perform the following:

Set the thermostat to position << . >>.

Disconnect the product from the mains.

Remove all foods from the product.

Perform defrosting and cleaning operations as described above.

Leave the doors ajar to avoid the build-up of unpleasant odors.

Trouble shooting

During operation of the appliance some smaller but annoying trouble can often occur, which does not require calling a technician out. In the following chart information is given about them to avoid unnecessary charges on service.

We draw your attention that operation of appliance goes with certain sounds (compressor- and circulating sound). This is not trouble, but means normal operation.

We draw it to your attention again that the appliance operates discontinuously, so the stopping of compressor does not mean being no-current. That is why you must not touch the electrical parts of the appliance before removing it from the mains socket.

Problem	Possible cause	Solution
The appliance does not cool sufficiently	Thermostatic control is set too low.Before freezing the appliance was not precooled sufficiently.Large-sized food was put in.Too many foods to be frozen were put in.Warm foods were put in.Door is not shut properly.	Set higher position.Pre-cool the appliance for enough time.Cut up food.Put fewer foods to be cooled.Put foods max. at room temperatureCHECK if the door is shut.
The appliance cools too hard	The thermostatic control is set too high.	Set lower position.
The appliance does not cool at all	Plug is not connected to the mains socket properly.There is no voltage in the mains socket.Thermostat set to "0" position.	Check if the connection is proper Check if there is voltage Check thermostat setting.
The appliance is noisy	The appliance is not supported properly.	Check if the appliance stands stable (all the four feet should be on the floor).

As much as the advice does not lead to result, call the nearest brand-mark service.

Power or operation failure:

In case of power failure during the storage of frozen foods, make sure not to open the freezer door. Once the power failure is over, the yellow indicator (3) of the quick freeze function will light up and then, 5 hours after restart, it will automatically go out.

If a short power failure occurs (max. 13 hours) and the product is full, the stored foods will not deteriorate. Otherwise you must use the stored food as soon as possible (if the temperature of the frozen foods rises, their storability will be shorter).

Check stability of product support (all four feet should stand on floor).

If you fail to remedy a problem, please contact the nearest authorized service unit.

Operation failure

When the electronic system fails to detect the ACTUAL temperature, the alarm indicator will start to flash. The product will continue to operate with the use of a reserve system until the problem is eliminated by the local service personnel.

Change of door opening direction

Should the setting-up place or handling demand it, door-opening direction can be refitted from righthanded to left-handed.

Following operations are to be done on the basis of figures and explanations:

• Break the circuit of the appliance.
• Tilt back the appliance carefully so that the compressor can not touch the floor. It is recommended to ask another person for help, who can keep the appliance at this position safely.
• Unscrew the adjustable feet situated on both sides (2 pieces), in addition the screws fixing the lower door holders (2 pieces) and the screw on the other side respectively.

• Take off the freezer door by pulling it slightly downwards.
• Unscrew the top door hinge pin of the refrigerator then screw it back on the other side.
• Fit the freezer door on the upper door hinge pin.
