This warning light will start to flash and a buzzer will  
sound in case of a door left open. To stop the alarm light  
simply close the door.  
How to use the refrigerator  
For adequate cooling developing interior air  
circulation is necessary. For this reason you are  
asked not to cover the air circulation gaps behind the  
shelves (e.g. with tray etc.).  
Do not put hot food into the refrigerator. Allow  
it to reach room temperature naturally. In this  
way the unnecessary frost building up can be  
avoided.  
Handling the appliance  
Putting it into use  
Foods can take over odours from each other.  
So it is essential to put foods in closed dishes  
or wrap them in cellophane, aluminium foil, grease-  
proof paper or cling film before placing them into  
the refrigerator. This way foods will keep their  
moisture e.g. vegetables will not dry out after some  
days.  
Place the accessories into the appliance then plug to the  
mains socket.  
To start the appliance, press the ON/OFF button ("A"). The  
fridge temperature display ("B") and freezer temperature  
display ("G") will go on. The alarm light ("M") flashes since  
the temperature is high. The buzzer sounds. To stop the  
buzzer, press the alarm reset button ("L").  
Note:  
The appliance cannot be switched on or off if unplugged, or  
if there is no power being supplied to it. Following  
connection to the mains power supply, the appliance  
returns to the same operating state as before the  
interruption of main power.  
Controlling the temperature, setting  
The electronic control interrupts the cooling automatically  
for more or less time depending on the set ting then restarts  
it assuring the required temperature.  
Temperature of the refrigerator and freezer can by set by  
buttons "C"-"D" and "H"-"I", respectively. The desired  
temperature is seen blinking on the respective display.  
For everyday use medium setting, i.e. +5 °C in the  
refrigerator and colder than -18 °C is the freezer is  
recommended.  
Allow the appliance to run for a period of 24 hours  
whenever the temperature setting is changed. This will  
allow the temperature to stabilize inside the appliance.  
The temperature in the refrigerator is affected by not only  
the position of the thermostat but the ambient temperature,  
frequency of door openings and the quantity of food put into  
it etc.  
When the coldest temperature possible is set - in  
case of increased demand e.g. during heatwaves  
- the compressor may operate continually. This does  
not affect the operation of the appliance.

Drawer  
The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables.  
There is a separator inside the drawer that can be placed in  
different positions to allow you to separate food if required.  
ACTION COOL mode  
The ACTION COOL function is suited for quick cooling of  
large quantities of goods in the refrigerator.  
The ACTION COOL function is switched on by pressing the  
ACTION COOL button ("E").  
The yellow light ("F") illuminates. During the time of ACTION  
COOL the display ("B") shows an "A" letter.  
The ACTION COOL function now provides for intensive  
cooling. A desired temperature of +2 °C is automatically  
selected.  
To exit from the ACTION COOL mode press the "E" button  
again. Should you not do so, after a while the refrigerator  
returns to automatic mode.  
The Refrigerator  
Below is the recommended storage positions for various  
food types:  
1. Ready-cooked foods, fresh meat, cold cuts.  
2. Milk, dairy products.  
3. Fruits, vegetables, salads.  
4. Cheese, butter.  
5. Eggs.  
6. Yoghurt, sour cream.  
7. Small bottles, drinks.  
8. Large bottles, drinks.  
9. Fish, meat, seafood  
Fresh Box  
The Fresh Box is located in the fridge compartment. This is  
designed for the best storage of fresh food like fish, meat,  
seafood because the tempereture is lower here than in the  
rest of the fridge. It is placed in the lower part, directly  
above of the vegetable drawer.  
If you wish to remove the compartment, make sure to  
perform the following:  
1 Open the refrigerator door as wide as possible. If due to  
a limit stop or any other object you cannot open the door at  
an angle of 180°, you should remove the bottle shelf from  
the door.  
2 Pull the LTC compartment towards yourself and, upon  
reaching the end point, slightly lift the front of the drawer to  
remove it from the support frame.  
3 For the removal of the support frame, lift the back of the  
frame from its nest and then pull it towards yourself. You can  
remove both the frame and the drawer at the same time by  
following Step 3.  
When you want to restore the original condition, repeat  
above steps in reverse order.

Storage Shelves  
The shelves in the refrigerator compartment are adjustable  
to allow for the storage of large items.  
To re-arrange the shelves, open the door to 90°.  
Storage Times  
The storage chart at the end of the instruction book gives  
information on storage times in the refrigerator  
compartment. The storage times quoted are intended as a  
guide only.  
Do not cover the shelves with paper or trays etc. as this  
will affect the air circulation within the refrigerator  
compartment.  
Do not put hot foods in the refrigerator, allow hot foods  
to reach room temperature naturally before placing in the  
refrigerator.  
Cover foods, or place in closed dishes before placing  
them in the refrigerator, this prevents any transference of  
food smells.  
The Freezer  
Freezing  
The appliance can be used to freeze fresh food in the  
quantity specified on the rating plate. Freezing fresh food  
should always be done after proper preparing as follows.  
Push the ACTION FREEZE button ("J") 4 hours before  
placing fresh food in smaller quantity or 24 hours before  
placing fresh food in bigger quantity into the appliance. The  
yellow light ("K") lit and the freezer temperature display ("G")  
shows an "A" symbol.  
Put the previously frozen food - or some of it - to another  
basket or baskets. Put the fresh food into the lower basket,  
leaving enough space for airflow.  
Run the appliance this way for 24 hours.  
To exit from action freeze mode press the ACTION FREEZE  
button again. Should you not do so, after a while the freezer  
returns to automatic mode.  
Never freeze food in larger quantities than  
shown in the "Technical data" at the same  
time, otherwise food may not be thoroughly  
frozen.  
Do not make ice during freezing preferably, because  
making ice reduces freezing capacity.

Removal of freezing baskets from  
the freezer  
The freezing baskets have a limit stop to prevent their  
accidental removal or falling out. At the time of its  
removal from the freezer, pull the basket towards  
yourself and, upon reaching the end point, remove the  
basket by tilting its front upwards.  
At the time of putting it back, slightly lift the front of the  
basket to insert it into the freezer. Once you are over  
the end points, push the baskets back in their  
position.  
Frozen Food Storage  
When turning on the freezer for the first time or if the  
freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise  
you to run your appliance for at least 2 hours before  
storing frozen food.  
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the  
manufacturer.  
Do not open the door frequently or leave it open  
longer than is necessary.  
It is practical to replace frozen products into the  
basket(s) after freezing has finished. This will enable  
you to make room in the freezing compartment for  
other food. Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate  
foods already stored.  
In large quantities of food are to be stored, remove the  
baskets except the lowest one from appliance and  
place food on the shelves.  
Important  
Do not put carbonated liquids in the freezer.  
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal  
from the freezer can cause a low temperature skin  
burn.  
In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer  
will not be affected if the power cut is short and the  
freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the  
food begin to thaw it must be consumed quickly  
and must not be re-frozen. (See Hints and Tips)  
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands  
are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or  
frost/freezer burns.  
Thawing  
Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can  
be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature,  
depending on the time available. Small food items may  
even be cooked from frozen, in this case cooking will  
take longer.  
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally  
should either be eaten as soon as possible, or thrown  
away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not  
been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then  
refrozen.  
Defrosted cooked food must never be  
refrozen.  
10  
 
To Make Ice Cubes  
1. Fill the ice cube tray ¾ full with cold water, place in  
)
the freezing compartment and leave to freeze.  
2. To remove the cubes twist the tray or hold it under  
running water for a few seconds.  
Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to  
the freezer compartment by using pointed or  
sharp edged objects.

Hints & Tips  
Normal Operating Sounds  
Energy Saving Advice  
Do not install the appliance close to sources of  
heat, such as a boiler or radiator.  
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds  
when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or  
tubing.  
Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated  
room and make sure that the air openings of the  
appliance are not obstructed.  
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being  
pumped round and you will hear a whirring sound or  
pulsating noise from the compressor.  
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by  
packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages  
before placing them in the freezer.  
A thermostat controls the compressor and you will  
hear a faint 'click' when the thermostat cuts in and  
out.  
Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should  
be placed in the fridge before being transferred  
to the freezer.  
Food Storage  
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long  
periods or opening the door too frequently as  
warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the  
compressor to uncovered food on unnecessarily  
often.  
To obtain the best performance from your freezer:  
Do not store warm food or evaporating liquid.  
Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it  
straight away. The use of an insulated container is  
advisable. When you arrive home, place the frozen  
food in the freezer immediately.  
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the  
door from closing properly.  
In the Event of a Power Failure  
Do not push food together too much, try to allow air  
to circulate around each item.  
If there is a power failure during the storage of  
frozen foods, keep the door closed. If the  
temperature within your freezer should rise, do not  
refreeze the food without checking its condition.  
The following guidelines should assist you:  
Do not store often switch.  
Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and  
labelled and used in date order to ensure that food  
is consumed at its best.  
Ice Cream: Once thawed should be discarded.  
Fruits & Vegetables: If soft should be cooked and  
used up.  
Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food,  
salt reduces the storage time.  
Breads & Cakes: Can be refrozen without danger.  
Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing  
bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and  
provide an airtight seal.  
Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and used up  
quickly.  
Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be  
refrigerated and used up.  
Packaging which is swollen or has traces of  
refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate  
that the product has not been kept at a suitable  
temperature and that it may have lost its original  
quality. Partially thawed food must not be refrozen,  
it must be consumed within 24 hours. Never  
exceed the storage times indicated by the  
manufacturer.  
Large Pieces of Meat: Can be refrozen providing  
there are still ice crystals remaining within them.  
Small Joints: Should be cooked and can then be  
refrozen as cooked dishes.  
Chicken: Should also be cooked and refrozen as a  
fresh dish.

Location  
Installing the appliance  
The appliance should be positioned in a well  
ventilated, dry room.  
Transportation, unpacking  
The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for  
transport.  
Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature.  
The appliance should therefore:  
Remove all packaging and any adhesive tape.  
not be installed next to radiators, cookers or  
other sources of heat  
Any remnants of adhesive can be removed using  
white spirit.  
only be installed at a location where the ambient  
temperature corresponds to the climate  
classification, for which the appliance is  
designed.  
After transportation the appliance must not be  
switched on for 2 hours. This is to allow the  
refrigerant to settle.  
Cleaning  
The climate classification can be found on the  
rating plate.  
Clean the accessories and the inside of the appliance  
with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml  
to 0.5 litres of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly.  
The following table shows which ambient  
temperature is correct for each climate  
classification:  
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly  
perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or  
cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol.
