User Instructions Integrated fridge/freezer This integrated fridge/freezer is for domestic use only. The upper part of the appliance is the refrigerator and is used for storing fresh foods at temperatures of 0°C and higher. The lower part is the freezer and is used for freezing fresh foods and storing frozen foods for longer periods of time (up to one year, depending on the kind of foods you store).
Before Use • Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, let it stand for about 2 hours, to reduce possibilities of malfunctions in the cooling system due to transport and handling. • Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially inside (See Cleaning and Maintenance).

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.
Disposing of the Appliance • To minimise the risk of injury to children please dispose of your product carefully and safely. Remove both doors. Remove the mains cable (where fitted) by cutting off flush with the appliance and always ensure that no plug is left in a condition where it could be connected to the electricity supply.

Operation Control The appliance is controlled with the thermostat knob, situated in the upper right of the refrigerator. 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.
Storing Fresh Foods Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct temperature and taking into account hygienic precautions will substantially influence the quality of the food stored. • Foods to be stored in the refrigerator should be properly packed as to prevent mixing various moisture degrees and odors (in polyethylene bags or sheet, aluminium foil, wax paper), or stored in covered containers or bottles.

• The switch is on, when the coloured mark is visible or is at position I, and off, when you don't see the mark or at position 0. • The next time you want to freeze fresh foods, repeat the freezing procedure and be careful that packages with fresh foods do not touch frozen packages.
Defrosting Frozen Food Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy microorganisms which rapidly activate after defrosting and make foods perishable. Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of foods, especially of fruits, vegetables and ready-made meals.
Maintenance and Cleaning Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice depositing on the inner back wall is defrosted automatically. Manual Defrosting of the Freezer When the frost and ice layer in the freezer is 3-5 mm thick, you should clean the freezer.

• Do not forget to clean also the defrost water receptacle above the refrigerator compressor (do not remove the receptacle). After cleaning, connect the appliance to power supply and reload the packages. Switch Off the Appliance When Not In Use If you do not intend to use the appliance for a longer period, set the thermostat knob to the STOP (0) position, disconnect the power supply, take out the foods and defrost and clean the appliance.

The Freezer Door is Hard to Open If you want to open the door that has just or recently been closed, you may find it hard to open. The reason why this happens is, that when you open the door, warm air gets into the appliance and when it is cooling, the underpressure seals the door.
