This appliance is designed for storing food, domestic use and being used 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. 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. 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 manufacturer's instructions. You must not make defrosting faster with any electric heating appliance or chemicals. Do not put hot pot to the plastic parts of the freezer. 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 freezer. 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 themselves 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 relevant to installation. If the appliance is not placed on floor level, provide appropriate fixing (e. g. using sucking disks). Safety precautions for isobutane Warning The refrigerant of the appliance is isobutane (R600a) 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 defrosting 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 manufacturer. 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. 46 For the safety of life and property keep the precautions of these user's instructions as the manufacturer is not responsible for damages caused by omission. GB Ins tr uctions f or the User General information The official designation of the appliance is home freezer. According to this the appliance is suitable for storing frozen and deep-frozen food, freezing products in quantity given in the user's instructions at home and making ice. The appliance can meet the requirements of standards between different temperature limits according to the climate class. The letter symbol for climate class can be found on the data plate.

Turn the thermostatic control knob to SUPER position according to the figure and operate the appliance at least for 4 hours. Then reset the thermostatic control knob to NORMAL position. This time the appliance is suitable for storing frozen and deep-frozen foods. Controlling the temperature The thermostatic controller interrupts the operation of the appliance automatically for more or less time depending on the setting then restarts it assuring the required temperature. Setting the thermostat knob can be done by rotation. Turning the control knob clockwise cooling becomes more and more intensive. In the appliance -18 °C or lower temperature can be reached if the thermostat knob is set to NORMAL position according to the figure. The thermostat can be switched off (STOP position), which means breaking the circuit of the compressor i.e. stopping cooling. The temperature coming about in the freezer is effected by not only the position of the thermostatic control and the ambient temperature, but frequency of door openings and the quantity of food put into it, etc. In maximum position of the thermostat - in case of increased demand e.g. during heatwaves the compressor may operate continually. This does not cause damages to the appliance. Freezing Freezing different products should always be done in the freezing compartment after proper preparing. Set the thermostatic control knob to SUPER position 4 hours before freezing food in small quantity and about 24 hours before in case of products in bigger quantity. This time the compressor operates continually to reach temperature necessary for freezing. Place the foods to be frozen in and operate the appliance as written for about 24 hours. After these reset the thermostatic control knob to NORMAL position. 48 GB Storing It is practical to replace frozen products into the storing compartment after freezing has finished so that to make room in the freezing compartment for another freezing. Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods already stored. Do not leave the door open longer than necessary and avoid unnecessary openings. Put warm foods into the appliance only when they are at room temperature. The condenser must be kept clean. How to make ice cubes The appliance and environment This appliance does not contain gasses which could damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant circuit or insulation materials. The appliance shall not be discarded together with the urban refuse and rubbish. Avoid damaging the cooling unit, especially at the rear near the heat exchanger. Information on your local disposal sites may be obtained from your municipal authorities. The materials used on this appliance marked with the sympol are recyclable. To make ice cubes fill the enclosed ice cube tray with water and put it to the frozen food compartment. Wetting the bottom of the tray can shorten preparing time. Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under running water then twist or hit it. Some useful information and advice After opening and closing the door of freezer vacuum will rise inside the appliance because of the low temperature. So wait 2-3 minutes after closing the door - if you want to open it again - while inner pressure equalises. Take care of operating the freezer at a position of thermostatic control so that the inside temperature can never go be ...
