controlled to avoid playing with the appliance.
4. It is highly recommended that you do not operate this ap-
pliance by connecting it to the power supply with extensions
or multiple socket plugs. If the refrigerator has been installed
between two cabinets, make sure that the supply cord is not
dangerously crimped or trapped beneath a heavy object.

For this operation, please contact your dealer or the Local
Organization in charge of waste disposal.
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old
household electrical appliances must not be disposed
of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old
appliances must be collected separately in order to
optimize the recovery and recycling of the materials they
contain and reduce the impact on human health and the
environment. The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on
the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you
dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer
for information concerning the correct disposal of their old
appliance.
CAUTION!
There is small quantity of refrigerant (R600a) in the
refrigerator, it is isobutane natural gas which doesn't cause
damage to environment, but is fl ammable. It's necessary
to transport and install the refrigerator with care so that not
to damage any refrigerant circuit parts.
Nevertheless if the refrigerant circuit has been damaged
please avoid any types of open fl ame or potential
infl ammation sources and air the room carefully.
To avoid formation of fl ammable mix of gas and air in
case of refrigerant leakage, the size of the room where
the refrigerator is should correspond to the quantity of
the refrigerant used in the refrigerator. The room volume
should be 1mі for each 8g of R600a refrigerant in the
appliance. The quantity of the refrigerant contained in
your particular refrigerator is specifi ed on the ratings label
inside the refrigerator.
Never plug in the refrigerator having signs of damage. If
you have any doubts of the appliance operable condition,
please apply to the authorized service center.
CAUTION! Don't use any electric devices inside the
refrigerator.
CAUTION! Don't block up vent holes that are located
in the appliance body or in the build-in construction.
CAUTION! Avoid damaging of the refrigerant circuit.
CAUTION! Don't use mechanical devices or other
means to speed up defrosting process except those
that are recommended by the manufacturer.

Start-up and use

Starting the appliance

Before placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator or
freezer, clean the interior well with warm water and
baking soda.
After having plugged the appliance in, make sure
that pilot lamp is light.
Set thermostat knob onto a medium position and
can place food in the fridge after only a few hours.
When the freezer has reached the optimum
temperature, you can place frozen food in the
freezer.
Before making the electrical connection, check that
the voltage shown on the data plate, that you will
find on the bottom left hand side of the appliance
next to the crisper, corresponds to that of your mains
and that the socket is earthen in conformity with all
current electrical regulations. If the system is not
earthen, the manufacturer declines all liability for
consequent damages or losses. Do not use adapters
or multiple sockets.
The electrical socket must support the maximum
power load of the appliance shown on the data plate
(on the bottom left hand side of the appliance next
to the crisper).
Set the appliance upright and wait at least 3 hours
before plugging the appliance into the mains to
ensure proper performance.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum
storage time: any food, even the freshest, will not
remain edible for any extended amount of time.
– Do not place liquids in containers without covering
them because this will lead to an increase in the
level of moisture within the refrigerator, causing the
formation of frost.
– Remember to cool hot food before storing otherwise
the temperature inside the appliance will increase,
causing the compressor to work harder and use
more energy.
– Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods are not
stored any longer than raw food.
– The refrigerator compartment is equipped with
convenient, removable shelves which can be
adjusted for height using the shelf guides. This allows
you to place even large containers and foodstuffs in
the refrigerator.
– Be careful not to place containers (plastic or
glass), food or other objects in direct contact with the
cooling area of the back wall of the refrigerator. This
could harm the food, increase energy consumption
and facilitate the formation of condensate (on food,
containers, etc.).
Refrigerator compartment of Your appliance is
equiped with the system of air coolling "A.I.R.
System", which allows to optimize a product keeping
mode and simplifies a process of using a refrigerator
due to following functions:
– A quick recovering of temperature: internal
temperature comes back faster to the best value
after opening door, improving product keeping
mode.
– An equal sharing of temperature: it allows to place
any products on any shelves.
– High level of moisture: it prolongs a period of
storage.
A – blowing-out air becomes cool on the back wall.
B – draw-in air.
Fresh Box has a temperature by 3 – 5
0
C low than an
average temperature of a refrigerating compartment,
and it's destined for such foodstuffs as ham, cutlets,
sausage. It's also recommended to keep there
perishables fresh-killed meat, fish, etc., freezing of
which is undesirable since they will be used in the
near future.
