Where to set-up
Set-up appliance in a dry, well ventilated
room. Do not expose appliance to direct
sunlight or place near a source of heat such
as: cooker, radiator etc. If placement of the
appliance near a source of heat can not be
avoided, use an adequate insulation plate or
observe the following safety distances
between appliance and source of heat:
3 cm distance from cooker
30 cm distance to oil or gasboiler.
If the appliance is placed next to another
refrigerator or freezer, keep a side clearance
of 2 cm between them to prevent
condensation.
Setting-up and changing the
door hinging side
See enclosed manual for installation and
modifications.
Electrical Connection
Connect appliance to a 220-240 V/50 Hz
supply only. Protect with a 13 ampere fuse.
The connection must be made via a
properly installed socket with a non-fused
earthing.
Ventilation
The air heated at the back of the appliance
must be able to escape unhindered.
Otherwise, the refrigerating machine must
work harder and use-up more electricity.
Consequently, the ventilation inlet grill must
never be covered.

							Clean inside of the appliance before
switching on for the first time (see cleaning).
Switching on the appliance
Press main switch, Figure s
/21, the
green pilot light goes on.
The appliance begins to cool.
It’s possible that a certain amount of ice or
condensation builds-up on the rear wall of
the refrigerator; this is normal, it’s not
necessary to wipe-up the condensation or
eliminate the ice buil-up. The rear wall
defrosts again automatically. The defrosting-
water is caught in the defrosting-water
conductor (Fig. k
/5), led to the compressor
and condensed there.
If you have closed the door of the
refrigerator compartment and then cannot
open it again immediately, please allow two
or three minutes for the partial vacuum
arisen inside to level-out.
Setting the temperature
The temperature setting dial (Fig. s
/23)
servers to set the temperature in both
compartments. High figures account for
lower temperatures in both compartments
We suggest a middle temperature setting
(ca. “2-3”).
Appliances proveded with
ventilator
If your appliance has got a fan, you should
know that it automatically starts when room
temperature is over 26º Celsius.
Appliances not provided with
ventilator
If the temperature in the place where the
appliance is located falls below +18ºC, the
interior light will automatically remain on at
low power when the refrigerator
compartment door is closed. In this way, the
correct temperature for the longterm
conservation of food will be maintained in
the freezer compartment.
This function disconnects when the
temperature rises above +20ºC.

).
The wire frame on the bottle shelf (Fig. g
/A/B)
may be rearnanged to accommodate different
size (diameter) bottles.
Use bottle holder (Fig. g
/A/B) to hold bottles
securely in place and stop them from fallin off
shelf when opening or closing the door of the
appliance.
The containers on the inside of door may be
taken out for cleaning (Fig. g
/C).
To facilitate storage of tall items you may
remove the smaller section of the rack from
the appliance. (Fig. {).
Do not place foodstuffs in front of the
ventilator (Fig. a
/18) to permit the circulation
of air.
Observe the following when
arranging food
yAllow food to cool before placing in the
appliance.
yFood should be sealed or well covered
before placing in the appliance . This will
prevent food from drying out, loss of in
freshness colour and flavours. It will also
prevent food from tasting or smelling of
other products.
Vegetables, greens and fruit may be stored
in the vegetable baskets and need not be
wrapped.

							yOil and fats should not touch the plastic
parts of the appliance or fall on the
sealing strip of the door (These parts
could easily become porous).
yDo not store explosive substances in the
appliance.
yStore high-proof alcoholic beverages in
tightly sealed containers and place
containers always in an upright position.
yThe coldest areas in the refrigerator are
the rear wall and the glass plate. Store
delicate food products in these areas.
yGlass bottles containing liquids that can
freeze must never be stored in the
freezer. Bottles burst when the contents
freeze.
Example of food
arrangement.
Fig. a
Refrigerator compartment A
On the bearing trays (3)- top to bottom:
bakery products, prepared dishes, dairy
products.
On the glass plate (7): meat and cold cuts.
In the vegetable baskets (8): vegetables,
greens and fruit.
In the doorcompartment (9): butter and
cheese.
Eggs in the egg container (10).
On the door shelf (11): small bottles, tubes,
cans.
In the bottle shelf (12): larger bottles.
Freezer compartment B
On the upper freezing tray (14): freezing
of fresh food, storage of frozen goods and
preparation of ice.
One the lower freezing tray: storage of
frozen goods.
Note refrigeration zones in
the refrigerator
compartment!
The air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment means that there are zones at
different temperatures.
Depending on the model, the zone for
sensitive foods is right at the bottom
between the arrow on the side and the glass
surface below (fig. w/1 and 2)or between
the two arrows (fig. e/1 and 2). Ideal for
storing meat, fish, sausage and salad
mixtures, etc.
Please observe the following
when buying ready-frozen
food:
yPackage must be intact.
yDo not exceede expiry date.
yThe thermometer of the freezer
compartment where the food is bought
must indicate a temperature of -18º C or
colder.
yWhen shopping, leave the frozen products
right till the last moment. Bring home as
quickly as possible and place at once in
the freezer compartment.
Packing Food
If freezing food yourself, use only fresh
products in perfect condition. Pack food in
airtight containers so that it does not lose its
taste, or dehydrate.
Suitable materials for wrapping are:
Plastic sheets, polyethylene bags,
aluminium foil and freezing containers.
Not suitable are:
Wrapping paper, vellum paper, cellophane,
rubbish bags and used shopping carrier-
bags.
Place food in container, press out excess air
and seal tightly.

							Freezing food/Food storage and Making ice
To seal use either of the following:
Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, cold-
resistant adhesive tape or similar. Plastic
sheets and polyethylene bags can be
sealed together with a welding machine for
plastic materials.
Before placing the wrapped food in the
freezer, mark each package to show its
contents and include the date of freezing.
Freezing capacity
Depending on the type of freezer, you can
freeze the following amounts of food at one
time:
SF-26/KGVA/... 4kg./24h.
SF-31/KGVA/... 5kg./24h.
SF-36/KGVA/... 5kg./24h.
Set temperature selector to
freezing
If you are freezing fresh food, set the
temperature selector to a moderate degree
(approximately 4).
When loading the freezer
please observe
That frozen products stored in the freezer
should not be mixed with fresh food.
Freezing the food
If you need to freeze very large quantities of
food, you may find it convenient to remove
the frozen food bins (botton bin may not be
removed) from the unit and to stack your
products directly on the freezing grids. To
remove bins, pull forwards until they catch,
tilt upwards and remove.
Making ice
Fig. j
Ice trays are obtainable at stores which
specialize in this line of business. Fill the
ice-tray three quartes full of water and place
on the freezing tray or in the upper food bin.
The ice-cubes can be easily removed from
the ice-tray by slightly twisting it.
Use the ice container to store ice-cubes so
that you always have an extra supply ready
at hand.
Artificial ice blocks
(Fig. }).
This accessory is only included with certain
models, so if yours does not contain one,
disregard this section.
The artificial ice blocks prevent food from
warming-up too quickly in the event of a
power cut or failure.
They are most effective if they are placed in
the upper drawer directly on top of the
products.
The artificial ice blocks may be taken out of
the appliance and used as a practical
means to keep food temporarily cool, e.g. in
an insulated cooling bag.
Freezer Calendar
Fig. h
/15
So as to avoid quality deterioration of the
products it’s important to observe the expiry
date and to consume the products before
this date expires.
The admissible length of storage depends
on the individual type of products.
The figures next to the symbols show the
number of months for which the particular
kind of food may be stored.
In the case of purchased pre-frozen food,
note the date of manufacture or the expiry
date.

							Defrosting Food
Depending on the particular kind of food and
the use you intend to make of it, you may
choose among the defrosting methods given
here:
at room temperature,
in the refrigerator,
in an electric oven,
with or without fan heater,
in a microwave oven.
Use-up food that has thawed out or partially
begun to defrost as soon as possible.
Do not refreeze. If the food is cooked first, it
may be refrozen as a prepared dish.
Refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment will defrost
automatically. The melting water is caught in
the collecting channel (defrosting-water
conductor) (Fig. k
/5) it’s then led to the
compressor where it evaporates. Please
keep the water conductor and defrosting
outlet (Fig. k
/6) absolutely clean so that the
water can drain away freely.
Freezer compartment
For safety reasons, the freezer
compartment(Figure a
/B) does not
defrost automatically since teh products
stored in this area should not accidentally
defrost.
Intensive frost and ice builds-ups adversely
influence the transmission of cold to the
frozen products and cause the rate of
energy consumption to augment.
When a coat of ice of approximately 1/2 cm
thickness has built up inside the freezer, it
should be alowed to defrost. The most
convenient time to defrost is, of course,
when the freezer is totally or nearly empty.
If there are still frozen products in the
freezer you should switch on the super-
freeze, Figure s
/22, approximately 4 hours
prior to defrosting so as to extra deep-
freeze. You may then remove the bins with
contents from the appliance.
Wrap-up bins in several layers of newsprint
paper or in a blanket and store in a cool
place. Leave the door of the freezer open
and unplug.
Figure l
/17, empty lowest frizen food bin
and place underneath runoff to collect thaw
water.
Try to defrost as quickly as possible. (The
longer the food is kept at ambient
temperature the shorter its shelf-life will be).
Clean interior of appliance thoroughly after
defrosting.
