PREPARATION FOR USE

The transportation board is made from expanded polystyrene. Remove the adhesive tapes from sides, lift the refrigerator up and take out the board.

When positioning the appliance in chosen location, it will move more easily into position if you lift the front a little and incline it backward, allowing it to roll on its casters.

Strip sticky tape off and open the doors. Remove the red transportation holders from the shelves.

◀ If your appliance is supplied complete with glass shelves, pull a shelf in the direction 1 and remove each red transportation holder in the direction 2.

Take two supports 1 from the pack and insert them into the guides 2 in the back part of the table top.

Adjusting the feet, mount the refrigerator with a slight backwards incline to provide a self closing door effect. It is very important that all the feet are uniformly touching the floor.

LOCATION

• The fridge freezer should be placed in a dry, well ventilated room.
• The fridge freezer must be kept from exposure to direct sun rays.
• It is not advisable to locate it near the heat sources (boilers, radiators and so on). If it is not possible to select another place, use an insulating panel.
• The appliance must not touch heating, gas or other pipes or heating devices.

Overall space required in use of the refrigerator.

If the appliance is placed in a corner, a gap of at least 1 cm must be left between the appliance body and the wall so that the freezer compartment door can opened enough to pull out the frozen product drawer.

VENTILATION

IMPORTANT! Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure or in the built - in structure, clear of obstruction.

Do not cover the ventilation holes at the top of the appliances— it must be a good air circulation around the appliance. There should be a gap of at least 10 cm between the top of the appliance body and any furniture that may be above it. If this requirement is not followed, the appliance consumes more electrical energy and its compressor may overheat.

If doors of the appliance close badly, it is necessary to change the door gasket.

If the door does not close correctly, the temperature in the appliance rises and energy consumption increases.

CONTROLS AND WARNING LIGHTS (Fig. 1)

The fridge-freezer is switched on by connecting it to the mains. By disconnecting it, the appliance is switched off.

Important Note: After switching the thermostat off only the compressor is switched off.

The temperature in the refrigerating chamber is adjusted by the temperature control knob 3.

The temperature controller is switched off when the knob shows a "0" mark in the temperature control scale window. If the temperature control knob is turned clockwise, the temperature in the chamber reduces.

The temperature of the refrigerator chamber is set by turning the thermostat wheel 4 which is connected to a thermostat. Temperature is indicated in the thermostat window 3 of the top cover panel and on the wheel – below the top cover.

The thermostat is switched off when the thermostat knob and the wheel are turned to the position "O". Turning the thermostat wheel clockwise temperature of the refrigerator chamber decreases.

A green illuminating lamp 5 indicates that the refrigerator is connected to the mains.

CHANGING THE INTERIOR LIGHT BULB

When changing the interior light bulb, do the actions below in the order they are listed:

1. disconnect the refrigerator from the mains;
2. press the dome light cover clip to the right and pull it downwards to remove the cover;
3. replace the lamp: lamp type - 15 W, lamp holder - E 14;
4. reverse removal to replace the cover;
5. reconnect the refrigerator to the mains.

FREEZING AND STORAGE OF THE FOOD STUFFS (Fig.1)

Temperature in the freezing and fresh food storage chambers depends on the ambient temperature, position of the temperature control knob and the number of fresh food products stored therein.

- DO NOT EXCEED THE INDICATED MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF FOOD FOR FREEZING:

FOR MODELS WK 270 IT IS 5 KG PER 24 HOURS,

FOR MODELS WK 310 IT IS 12 KG PER 24 HOURS.

Initially set the temperature controller knob to position "3". If this causes excessive cooling of the foods in the chamber – adjust the setting to between "1" & "3" and if the cooling is insufficient, adjust the setting to between "3" & "5".

! IF THE ROOM IS COOL, THE APPLIANCE COOLS LESS. THE TEMPERATURE IN THE APPLIANCE MAY THEREFORE RISE. Use the thermostat wheel to set a lower temperature.

Fresh foodstuffs prepared for freezing should be placed in one or two layers in the fast-freeze section (fig. 1). The thermostat knob should be set to 5. After 24 hours, the frozen food products should be replaces from the fast-freeze section to the storage section drawer(s). When the products are frozen, the thermostat wheel should be set at its earlier position.

Leave a gap of not less than 3 cm between the foodstuffs being frozen and the upper partition.

• Do not place unwrapped foodstuffs in the freezer sections.
• Fresh food for freezing should not touch already frozen foodstuffs.
• Do not freeze foodstuffs that are warmer than the room temperature.

• Do not freeze liquid foodstuffs in glass vessels or bottles. Do not freeze carbonated beverages.

• Strictly observe the frozen food product validity dates indicated by the manufacturer on the product packaging.

• WE RECOMMEND THAT FROZEN FISH AND SAUSAGE SHOULD BE STORED IN THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT NOT LONGER THAN 6 MONTHS; CHEESE, POULTRY, PORK, LAMB – NOT MORE THAN 8 MONTHS; BEEF, FRUIT AND VEGETABLES – NOT LONGER THAN 12 MONTHS.

PRACTICAL TIPS AND OBSERVATIONS

• Do not keep bananas in the refrigerator – these fruits are sensitive to cold.
• Do not keep prepared food and ready-to-cook ("heat and eat") food in the same container.
• Store in an airtight container in the appliance any foodstuffs that have a strong odour (e.g. fresh fish, pâté de foie gras goose liver pâté, and cheese).
• Frozen foodstuffs should be thawed in the refrigerator compartment. Food that thaws slowly retains better flavour properties and spread cold will help to maintain the set temperature in the refrigeration compartment. Do not consume ice made in the freezer chamber straight away.
• Products will freeze more quickly if they are divided up and packed in small portions.

ICE MAKING

Ice-cubes are prepared in a tray 16 (fig .1) for making ice-cubes. Fill each space in the ice cube tray 34 full of drinking water. Place the ice-cube tray in the fast-freeze section. When you want to remove the ice-cubes from the ice-cube tray, leave it for 5 min at room temperature and then shake the cubes into the special dish for them.

REFRIGERATOR DEFROSTING

The freezer compartment should be thawed not less than twice a year or when a layer of ice thicker than 5 mm forms in it. Do the actions below in the order they are listed:

WARNING! Turn the appliance off and pull the plug out of the electrical socket.

- Remove foodstuffs from freezer compartment. The frozen foodstuffs will not warm up too much while you are thawing the freezer compartment if you cover them with a thick cloth and keep them in a cool place.

• Do not clean with liquids containing alcohol;
• Refrigerators produced from a stainless steel should be cleaned only with cleansers for those surfaces

Remarks on the appliance operating noise

As the appliance operates and goes through the freezing cycle, various noises will be emitted. This is normal and is not a sign of any malfunction.

• As the refrigerant circulates around the refrigeration system, it causes sounds like murmuring, bubbling, or rustling.
• Louder sounds like popping or clicking may be heard for a short time as the refrigerator's compressor switches on.

If problems occur use the troubleshooting chart below:

Note. If your fridge freezer is not working and it is no possible to repair it by means of these troubleshooting charts, switch it off, open the appliance doors and call a service agent.
