Precautions and trips

ATTENTION

! Before placing your new appliance into operation please

read these operating instructions carefully. They contain

important information for safe use, for installation and for

care of the appliance.

! Please keep these operating instructions for future

reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the

appliance.

1. This appliance is designed to be used indoors and

under no circumstances should it be installed outside

even if protected by a roof. Leaving the appliance ex-

posed to the rain and whether is exceedingly dangerous.

2. The appliance should be used only by adults and exclus-

ively for storing foodstuffs in compliance with the instructions

provided in this manual. Under no circumstances should

children be allowed to operate, or tamper with, this product.

3. The appliance is not intended for use by people

(including children) with low physical, sensory or mental

abilities or if they don’t have life experience or

knowledge unless they are kept under control or have

been instructed by the person responsible for their

safety how to use the appliance. Children should be

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.

5. Never pull the cable or the appliance to remove the plug

from the socket; this is exceedingly dangerous.

6. Do not touch the internal cooling elements, especially if

your hands are wet, since you could burn or hurt yourself.

7. Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance

from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning off

the general switch in your home).

8. Before disposing of your old appliance, remember to

break or remove the lock as a safety measure to protect

children who might lock themselves inside the appliance

when playing. In addition, if the appliance is a new one

with a lock, keep the key out of the reach of small children.

9. If your appliance is not operating properly, read the

chapter entitled, “Trouble Shooting”, which might help

you to resolve the problem, before calling an after-sales

service center. Do not attempt to repair the appliance by

tampering with the internal components.

10. If the power supply cord must be replaced, please

contact one of our Customer Service Centers. In some

cases, the connections are made using special terminals

and in others a special tool must be used to access the

connections.

11. Do not use electric appliances inside the compartment

for food storage, if these are not those recommended by the

manufacturer.

12. At the end of the functional life of your appliance

containing cyclopentane gas in the insulation foam the

latter should made safe before being sent to the dump.

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 a m m a b l e . I t ’ s n e c e s s a r y

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 a m e o r p o t e n t i a l

inﬂ a m m a t i o n s o u r c e s a n d a i r t h e r o o m c a r e f u l l y.

To avoid formation of ﬂ a m m a b l e m i x o f g a s a n d a i r i n

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 e d o n t h e r a t i n g s l a b e l

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

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.
