[. . . ] • When your appliance finally wears out, please try not to burden the environment with it; call your nearest authorised service agent. (See Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance) • Turn the thermostat knob from higher to lower setting as soon as possible (depends on how loaded the appliance is, ambient temperature. . . ) • Never use continuous operation unless unnecessarily required; switch the operation mode selection switch to the setting for automatic operation as soon as possible. Instructions for Use 9 • Before freezing packages of fresh foods, make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature. • Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so do clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick. • If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is poor, the energy consumption is substantially higher. [. . . ] • The refrigerating system of the appliance is filled with refrigerant and insulating substances which should be separately treated and processed. Call your nearest authorised service agent or specialised servicing centre. If you don't find one, contact your local authorities or your distributor. Be careful not to damage the tubes on the rear wall of the appliance (danger of pollution). • To avoid pollution of the environment make sure not to damage the hose at the bottom of the appliance. Placing and Installation Choosing the Right Place Place the appliance in dry and well ventilated room. Allowed ambient temperature depends on the model (class) of the appliance and is stated on the rating plate of the appliance. Never place the appliance near heat emitting devices (e. g. cooker, radiator, water heater and similar devices) and do not expose it to direct sunlight. The appliance should be positioned at least 3 cm away from the electric or gas cooker and at least 30 cm away from the oil or coal stove. If this is not possible, use an appropriate insulation. Class SN (sub-normal) N (normal) Ambient temperature from + 10°C to + 32°C from + 16°C to + 32°C Connection to Power Supply Connect the appliance with the cable and plug to the power supply socket outlet with a ground terminal (safety socket). Temperature rise shortens the storage time of commercially frozen foods. 12 Instructions for Use Approximate Storage Time of Frozen Foods Food 1 Vegetable Fruit Braed, Pastries Milk Redy-made meals Meat: Beef Veal Pork Poultry Game Minced meat Smoked sausages Fish: lean fat Offal 2 3 4 Storage time (in months) 5 6 7 8 + 9 + 10 + + 11 + 12 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + microorganisms which rapidly activate themselves after defrosting and make foods perishable.

Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy Maintenance and Cleaning Freezer Defrosting Frost and ice layer, depositing on the inner walls of the freezer should be defrosted when 3-5 mm thick. • 24 hours prior defrosting press the continued operation mode button (2) (yellow lamp is on) to provide extra low temperature of food inside the freezer. After this period take the food out and protect them from melting. • Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply. • Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage to the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health. • Water collected at the bottom basket of the appliance should be mopped with a sponge or highly absorbing cloth. After you have cleaned the appliance, reconnect it to the mains supply and put the food packages back to their place. Periodical cleaning of the condenser In order to optimize the operation of the appliance and save energy, it is recommended to clean periodically the dust from the condenser at the back of the appliance. Disconnect the appliance from the mains prior the commencement of cleaning!• Empty the contents of the appliance. [. . . ] The reasons for this may be the following: • The door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too long. • The door is not properly closed (the door may sag, the gasket may be polluted or damaged). • Power supply has been interrupted for a longer period of time. • Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance with fresh foods. The 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. [. . . ]
