The lower part of the appliance is refrigerator and is used for storing fresh foods at the temperature of 0°C and higher.

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".
PAGE 3
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).

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.

Description of the Appliance Bottle rack 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.
PAGE 6
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.
PAGE 7
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.
PAGE 8
Use • 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.
PAGE 9
• • • • − 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.
