Important safety information
General safety precautions
Keep these instructions and they should remain at the appliance when
m ov i ng  away  o r  changing owner.
This appliance is designed for storing food, domestic use according to
these instructions only.
Specialised companies that are qualified to do so by the manufacturer
must carry out service and repairs including repairing and changing the
power cord.Accessory parts supplied by them should be used only for
repairing. Otherwise the appliance can be damaged or can cause other
damage or injury.
The appliance is out of circuit only in that case if the plug is removed from
the socket. Before cleaning and maintenance always unplug it (do not get
it by the cable). If the socket is difficult to reach, switch off the appliance
by cutting off the current.
Power cord must not be lengthened.
Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the back
of the fridge/freezer.
- A damaged power plug may overheat and cause a fire.
Do not place heavy articles or the fridge/freezer itself on the power
cord.
- There is a risk of a short circuit and fire.
Do not remove the power cord by pulling on its lead, particularly when
the fridge/freezer is being pulled out of its niche.
- Damage to the cord may cause a short-circuit, fire and/or electric shock.
- If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a certified service
agent or  qualified service personnel.
If the power plug socket is loose, do not insert the power plug.
- There is a risk of electric shock or fire.
Without the lamp cover of interior lighting you must not operate the
appliance.
When cleaning, defrosting, taking out frozen food or ice tray do not use
sharp, pointed or hard devices, as they can cause damage to the appliance.
Be careful not to allow liquids to the temperature control and lighting
box.
Ice and ice-cream can cause hurt if they are eaten immediately after
removal from the frozen food compartment.
After dissolving frozen food must not be refrozen, it must be used up as
soon as possible.
Store pre-packed frozen food in accordance with the frozen food manu-
facturers instructions.
You must not make defrosting faster with any electric heating appliance
or chemicals.
 
						

							32Do not put hot pot to the plastic parts.
Do not store flammable gas and liquid in the appliance, because they may
explode.
Do not store carbonated drinks, bottled drinks and bottled fruits in the
frozen food compartment.
Check and clean the outlet of melting water coming during defrosting reg-
ularly. If it is clogged the melting water gathered can cause earlier failure.
Precautions for child safety
Do not allow children to play with the packaging of the appliance. Plastic
foil can cause suffocation.
Adults must handle the appliance. Do not allow children to play with it or
its controlling parts.
If you are discarding the appliance pull the plug out of the socket, cut the
connection cable (as close to the appliance as you can) and remove the
door to prevent playing children to suffer electric shock or to close them-
selves into it.
Safety precautions for installation
Put the appliance to the wall to avoid touching or catching warm parts
(compressor, condenser) to prevent possible burn.
When moving the appliance take care of the plug not to be in the socket.
When placing the appliance take care not to stand it on the power cord.
Adequate air circulation should be around the appliance, lacking this leads
to overheating. To achieve sufficient ventilation follow the instructions rel-
evant to installation.
Safety precautions for isobutane
Warning
The refrigerant of the appliance is isobutane 
(R 600a) that is inflammable and explosive to a greater extent.
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrost-
ing process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of
the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufac-
turer.
For the safety of life and property keep the precautions of these users
instructions as the manufacturer is not responsible for damages caused by
omissio
n.

Installing the appliance
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 packag-
ing.

							34
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.
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, breakdown in the automatic defrosting
increasing temperature in the cooling compartment or increasing energy
consumption.
Mount the spacers supplied in the
plastic bag of the accessories. Hold
the spacer as shown on the Fig.,
knock it home, then turn it by 90
(Into the oval holes of back side of
the appliance.)
When placing the appliance ensure
that it stands level. This can be
achieved by two adjustable feet at
the bottom in front.
Do not stand the appliance on a
sunny place or close to a radiator or cooker.
Class of climate Ambient temperature
SN +10…+32°C
N +16…+32°C
ST +18…+38°C
 
						

							35 If it is unavoidable because of fur-
nishing and the appliance has to be
stood near a cooker take these min-
imum 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 insula-
tion between the two appliances.
In case of oil or coal-fired stove
the distance must be 30 cms
since they give off more heat.
The refrigerator is designed to oper-
ate 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
