INSTALLATION

Transport and unpacking

If the appliance is transported in a horizontal position the oil from the compressor may leak into the cooling circuit. For this reason, allow the appliance to rest in a vertical position for 12 hours before turning it on, so that the oil flows back into the compressor.
Remove the external packaging, remove the protective plastic fi lm from the surface of the appliance (if used) and clean the external parts of the appliance with an agent designed for this purpose. Do not use steel wool or any coarse agents, which could irreparably damage the surface of the appliance. Carefully remove all papers and adhesive tape from the appliance, door and other parts packed in polystyrene. Remove documents and accessories from inside the appliance.
The packaging material is recyclable and is marked with a recycling symbol. For disposal follow the local regulations. Packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.) must be kept out of the reach of children, because they present a possible source of danger.
Carefully inspect the appliance. If you discover any defects, stop the installation and contact the vendor.

Operating conditions

The proper operation of the appliance, the cooling temperature are guaranteed only when the following conditions are met:

• The temperature in the room where the appliance is located conforms to the climate class stated on the appliance's rating label.
  Maximum ambient relative humidity: 90%.
• The appliance must be placed at a sufficient distance from heat sources (e.g. baking ovens, central heating, direct sunlight, etc.).
• The appliance must be located in such a place that it is protected against the effects of weather.
• Regular maintenance is performed according to the instructions in this user's manual.
• The ventilation openings in the cover of the appliance must not be covered by anything.
• Correct installation (e.g. levelling, the capacity of the system correspond to the specifications on the rating label of the appliance.)

Table – Climatic class

Acronym for ambient temperature range, is SN, N, ST or T, in determining climate classes:

• the extended temperate zone (SN) has a temperature range of 10°C to 32°C;
• the temperate zone (N) has a temperature range of 16°C to 32°C;
• the subtropical zone (ST) has a temperature range from 16°C to 38°C
• The tropical zone (T) has a temperature range of 16°C to 43°C.

Placement

The location for the placement of the appliance must meet the requirements in the paragraph "Operating conditions" and must have a stable floor with a load bearing capacity corresponding to the weight of the appliance.

Furthermore you must maintain distances and dimensions of the appliance, so that correct operation is ensured:

1. Top part at least 20 cm;
2. Rear part at least 10 cm;
3. The wall on the side where the door opens at least 30 cm.

Ventilation requirements
The area behind the appliance must provide for sufficient air circulation.
Level the appliance using the adjustable feet, ensure there is a gap between the bottom edge of the appliance and the ground, so that there is sufficient circulation of the cooling air, by which you will ensure the optimal performance of the cooling circuit.

Check whether any cooling circulation pipes have been damaged during the installation.

• Use the appliance only for the purposes for which it has been designed.
• The appliance must be located on a rigid and even surface.

In this way you will ensure free circulation of the coolant and effective operation of your appliance.

• If possible, place the appliance into a cool, well ventilated and dry room.
• Do not locate the appliance in direct sunlight, or in a room with a high temperature, in the vicinity of any sources of direct heat, such as heating, an oven, a stove, etc. – this would mean that the compressor would need to work a lot harder resulting a substantially higher power consumption level.

If it is not possible to prevent the installation in the vicinity of a heat source, we recommend the insertion of an appropriate insulating board (do not use asbestos) between the appliance and the heat source; or at least to maintain the following minimum distances:

• From a gas or electric stove 5 cm;
• From a heater or oven, etc. 50 cm;
• From another cooling appliance 2 cm.

Do not place any appliances on the appliance, which release heat on to the appliance, such as microwave ovens, toasters, etc.
Never cover the ventilation grill. Pull out the power plug by pulling on the plug itself, never pull on the cord when disconnecting the appliance.

Before turning on the appliance allow it to stand in its final location for 12 hours, the coolant circuit will stabilise in this way and no operating problems will occur. Before connecting the appliance to the power grid check that it is perfectly dry inside – especially in the corners.

Danger warning
The coolant may be highly flammable, depending on its composition. The coolant circuit was hermetically closed and sealed and was tested many times for possible leaks. Any unqualified tampering with the product may cause a fire hazard. Check that there is no mechanical interruption or effect on the coolant circulation, namely in the accessible parts around the compressor.
Only professionally qualified persons may work on the cooling system.

Cleaning before use

Check that you have removed from the appliance all adhesive tape used to hold accessories. Then clean all the inside parts using lukewarm water with a neutral cleaning agent, vinegar or sodium carbonate – in this way you will remove the characteristic odour of new parts – then dry carefully. Do not use detergents or aggressive agents, which could damage the surfaces.

Electrical connection

Before connecting the power plug to the power socket, check that:

• Your hands are completely dry.
• The voltage and frequency shown on the rating label of the appliance corresponds to that in the home power grid (permitted tolerance from -6% to +6% for nominal voltage, for use with different voltages, use a voltage changer with the corresponding parameters).
• The cord and the plug are not damaged or caught under heavy objects.
• The power cord is not excessively tensioned, it is not permitted to use an extension cord.

Do not connect the appliance to a voltage rectifier (e.g. solar power plant) or use an extension cord.

The appliance must be connected to a working grounding lead. If the power socket of the home system is not grounded in accordance with the current legal regulations, connect the appliance after consulting a specialised technician to the grounding lead itself. The manufacturer takes no responsibility for injuries caused as a result of not following these instructions.

If you do not correctly level the freezer during the installation, the doors may not close shut and seal properly, which may cause problems with the cooling, ice build up or moisture. Levelling the freezer is very important.

Level the freezer using the adjustable feet – turn them clockwise to lift the freezer and turn them anticlockwise to lower the freezer.

Procedure for switching the door opening direction

The appliance is supplied with the door hinge installed on the right. It is possible to switch the door opening direction on this model.
We recommend that a qualifi ed technician or another trained person switches the door opening direction for you.

If you will be laying it on its back for the purpose of better access to the underside of the appliance, it is necessary to first place a foam or another soft underlay on the floor to prevent damaging the cooling system on the rear part.

Before commencing the procedure for changing the opening direction, ensure that the appliance is turned off and that the power plug is disconnected from the mains power socket.

1. First it is necessary to remove the top hinge cover.
2. Remove the screws holding the top hinge and carefully take off the top hinge. Place to the side.
3. Carefully lift the door upwards and place to the side.
4. Now it is necessary to remove the bottom hinge. Remove the screws holding the bottom hinge and carefully take off the bottom hinge.
5. Screw out the foot from the new installation location and move it to the other side.
6. Prior to mounting the bottom door hinge on to the other side, take off and move the hinge pin. Now mount the bottom door hinge on to the other side. Secure in place using two screws. Check that the bottom door hinge is correctly located.
7. Insert the bottom hinge pin into the bottom hinge.
8. Place the door on to the bottom door hinge.
9. Close the door and mount the top hinge. Secure in place using two screws. Only tighten the screws once the door is flush with the top cover.

Daily use
To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions

• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
• Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
• If the appliance is left empty for long periods, switch o, defrost, clean, dry and leave the door open to prevent mount developing within the appliance.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

Insert the power plug into a power socket. Make sure that the power socket is properly grounded and that the voltage in the power socket corresponds to the voltage specified on the rating label of the appliance.
The interior light will turn on when the door is opened.
Set the temperature in the refrigerator using the temperature control dial. The thermostat control module is connected to the compressor. Turn the temperature control dial upwards or downwards and set the temperature inside the refrigerator.

NOTE:
During hot summer days when the thermostat is set to maximum, the compressor may run continuously. This is due to the thermostat setting and it is a normal event.

The temperature needs to be set based on:
Temperature in the room where the appliance is located;
Amount of food stored inside;
Number of times the appliance is opened.

We recommend the middle settings. Soon you will find out the optimal setting for your requirements. A correct temperature setting is important for storing food. Micro-organisms cause food to spoil very quickly; this can be prevented or delayed by using the correct storage temperature. Temperature affects the growth rate of the micro-organisms. These processes are slowed down by a declining temperature. For this reason we recommend the middle settings of the temperature control dial.

NOTE:
When the refrigerator is turned on for the first time, it is recommended that to achieve the required temperature of the stored food to leave the refrigerator running continuously for the following 24-hour period – during this time avoid opening the refrigerator door to a minimum. After turning off the refrigerator and disconnecting it from the mains power supply, it is necessary prior to again connecting to the mains power supply and turning on the appliance to wait at least 5 minutes – not following this instruction risks damaging the appliance's compressor.

ARRANGEMENT OF FOOD

• Food products, which are susceptible to the absorption of odours or that release odours must always be stored in closed boxes or in appropriate packaging.
• Fruit, vegetables and salad products can be stored unpacked in the vegetable drawers.
• Appropriate wrapping materials for food is plastic wrap, aluminium foil, glass jars, etc.
• The products should not touch the back wall, otherwise they may freeze on.
• Always allow hot dishes to cool down before placing them into the refrigerator.
• Open the door only for a short time so that the inside area of the fridge is not heated. This saves energy.
• Never store explosive materials or products with flammable compressed gasses (e.g. whipped cream sprayers with pressurised capsules/cartridges, spray cans) – DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
• Do not place oils intended for the preparation of meals into the removable drawers in the refrigerator door. This may cause cracks caused by the pressure in the plastic on the door.
• Alcoholic beverages must always be stored in the cold zone, in a vertical position and firmly and safely closed.

Advice about refrigerating food

While the air in the refrigerator circulates, areas with various temperatures arise. These areas are especially useful for storing various types of food. Arrange the food in such a way that air can freely flow around the food. The coldest zones (suitable for example for storing meat) are found immediately above the vegetable drawers. On the other hand the zones that are less cold are at the top towards the outside and inside the door (ideal for storing butter and cheese).

Storing food in the unit

Placement of food in the appliance

• Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator / freezer.
• Under normal circumstances, the temperature setting in the refrigerator is sufficient to + 4°C.
• The temperature of the refrigerator should be between 0°C and 8°C. Fresh foods stored below 0°C freeze, rot. The bacterial load increases when stored above 8°C and food spoils.
• Do not put warm or hot food in the fridge / freezer, wait for it to cool to room temperature. Hot food raise the temperature inside the refrigerator / freezer and can cause unnecessary spoilage and possible food poisoning.
• Meat, fish, etc. should be stored in a designated refrigerated compartment - if available.
• Fruits and vegetables should be stored in a designated refrigerated compartment - if available.
• To prevent contamination of meat products with bacteria, do not store fruits and vegetables in a common compartment. The same is true in reverse - contamination of fruits and vegetables with bacteria from meat products.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the device

Before commencing to clean the refrigerator disconnect it from the power source.
Use a clean sponge or a soft cloth and a gentle washing detergent dissolved in warm water. Do not use coarse or abrasive cleaning products.
Wash the refrigerator well and wipe dry.
Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated cleaning agents, bleaches or cleaning products containing kerosene on the plastic or rubber parts.
Never use paper towels or window cleaners on the plastic parts.

Clean the inside of the appliance at regular intervals.

• We recommend that you clean the inside area of the refrigerator at least once per month.
• Take the food out and place it in a cool place.
• Remove all removable parts from the appliance.
• Various parts inside the refrigerator are generally not suitable for washing in a dishwasher. These parts should be washed in warm water with dish washing detergent. Never use an undiluted cleaning detergent and under no circumstances use abrasive or acidic, i.e. chemical cleaning agents. We recommend a general purpose detergent with a neutral pH.

The use of steam cleaning appliances is extremely dangerous and so is strictly forbidden.

• Wipe the inside area and the accessories with clean water and dry everything using a dry cloth. Then allow the appliance to ventilate for 3 – 4 minutes.
• Do not damage or remove the rating label on the rear side of the appliance – it is important for connection, repairs and subsequent disposal of the appliance.
• Ensure that water does not come into contact with parts inside the appliance that are under live electric current.
• Ensure that the water from the defrosting process can flow away freely through the drainage channel. From time to time clean out the drainage opening using a cotton bud.
• Cleaning water should not run through the drainage channel for defrosted water. This causes the evaporation bowl to overflow and cleaning water flows on to the floor.

Taking out of operation for an extended period

If you are not going to use the refrigerator for an extended period of time, do the following:
Disconnect the refrigerator from the power source by pulling it out of the power socket. Clean out the inside and dry it out as described in the part Cleaning the refrigerator. Leave the door open to prevent an unpleasant odour forming inside.

Please be aware:
Compressor
The compressor is controlled by the thermostat, which is set by the temperature control knob, and turns itself on automatically when temperatures inside the appliance is exceeded and then turns itself off as soon as it again reaches this temperature. When any compressor – cooling system is turned on – noise can be heard. These sounds are made when the motor in the compressor is working and they are also made by the coolant circulating in the circuit of the cooling system. These noises are normal and do not indicate any malfunction in the operation of the appliance.
In unheated rooms or in cold weather conditions condensate may form on the exterior walls of the appliance. This does not indicate a malfunction and this condensate will disappear as soon as the temperature rises.

Contact the service department only when, after analysing all possible factors of the malfunction you cannot find any cause for the malfunction or you are unable to remedy the malfunction yourself. So, first focus on: "What should I do when...."

NOTE:
The refrigerator is defrosted automatically during the refrigeration process. Water is drained through an opening in the rear side of the refrigerator into an evaporation container, where it is automatically evaporated. To ensure that the automatic defrosting function of the refrigerator works correctly, keep the opening and the area around it clean and unclogged. If it becomes soiled, clean out this part without delay, or pour 1/2 glass into the opening if necessary.

Replace the LED light

The LED light must replace only by the service technician. If the LED light is damaged, please contact service for assistance.
The product does not contain a light source.
