Handling the appliance

Putting it into use

Place the accessories into the appliance then plug to the mains socket.

The thermostat knob is on the light box in the refrigerator. You can switch the appliance on and set the temperature with it by turning the knob clockwise.

The next paragraph will give instructions for setting.

Controlling the temperature, setting

The thermostat interrupts the operation of the appliance automatically for more or less time depending on the setting then restarts it assuring the required temperature.

The closer it is set to maximum position the more intensive the refrigerating will be. When the thermostat knob is set to a medium position (between minimum and maximum), in the freezing compartment -18^ in the fresh food compartment +5^ can be reached. Setting it to a medium position is adequate for everyday use.

The temperature coming about in the refrigerator is effected by not only the position of the thermostat but the ambient temperature, frequency of door openings and the quantity of food put into it newly, etc.

In the maximum position - in case of increased demand e.g. during heatwaves - the compressor may operate continually. This does not cause damages to the appliance.

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.
i 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, greaseproof 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.

Storing in the refrigerator

When placing the different kinds of food take into consideration the sketch below in figure:

1. Confectionery, ready-cooked foods, foods in dishes, fresh meat, cold cuts, drinks
2. Milk, dairy products, foods in dishes
3. Fruits, vegetables, salads
4. Cheese, butter
5. Eggs
6. Yoghurt, sour cream
7. Small bottles, soft drinks
8. Big bottles, drinks

Storage time and temperature of foods

The storage time chart at the end of the instruction book gives information about storage time.

The storage time can not be determined exactly in advance, as it depends on the freshness and handling of the cooled food. That is why the storage time made known is only informative.

If you do not want to use up deep-frozen foods bought immediately they can be stored for about 1 day (until dissolving) in the refrigerator.

How to use the freezer

Freezing

The appliance can be used to freeze fresh food of quantity specified on the data label. Freezing different products should always be done after proper preparing as follows.

Set the thermostat knob to a medium position.

Put the previously frozen food - or some of it - to another basket or baskets. Put the fresh food into the upper basket, leaving enough space for airflow. If there is some previously frozen food left in the upper basket, put this food into the back of the basket avoiding the contact between the fresh food and the already frozen food.

Run the appliance this way for 24 hours.

After 24 hours set the thermostat knob according to your choice or leave it in a medium position, which is in general appropriate for everyday cooling needs.

Should you want to freeze the quantity declared by the producer, remove the upper basket from the appliance and put the fresh food uniformly distributed directly on the cooling surface.

i Setting the thermostat knob to a higher (e.g. maximum) position is not recommended. Although doing so would make the freezing time shorter, on the other hand the temperature of the fridge compartment may go permanently below 0^ , what yields freezing the food and drinks stored there.

Never freeze food in bigger quantity than given in the 'Technical data' at the same time, otherwise freezing will not be thorough and after dissolving various deterioration may take place (losing taste and aroma, lysing, etc.).

Do not make ice during freezing preferably, because making ice reduces freezing capacity.

Storing in the freezer

It is practical to replace frozen products into the basket(s) after freezing has finished. Doing this you could make room in the freezing compartment for another freezing. Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods already stored.

In large quantities of food are to be stored, remove the baskets except the lowermost one from appliance and place food on the cooling surface.

Do not forget to keep to the storage time given on the packaging of frozen products if you buy them frozen. To store home-frozen products see the storing instructions placed in the door of the freezer. Symbols signify the various foods, numbers mean maximum storing time given in months.
It is safe to store quick-frozen, frozen foods only if they have not dissolved even for a short time until placing them into the freezer. If the deep-frozen food has already dissolved, refreezing is not recommended, it has to be used up as soon as possible.

How to make ice cubes

To make ice cubes fill the enclosed ice cube tray with water and put it to the frozen food compartment. Setting thermostatic control knob to maximum position can shorten preparing time. After finishing do not forget to reset the thermostatic control to the suitable position.

Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under running water then twist or hit it. If the ice tray freezes to the compartment, avoid using metal tools or knife to take it out as the cooling system can be damaged.

Some advice

• The variable shelves are worth paying attention to, which increases the usability of the fresh food compartment considerably. Rearranging the shelves is also possible when the door is open at an angle of 90^ .
• 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 above -18^ , since temperature higher than this storing time of frozen foods can decrease.
  It is practical to make sure of faultless operation of the appliance daily so as to notice possible failure in time and prevent deterioration of frozen foods.

Hints and ideas

In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given about how to use the appliance to reach maximum energy saving and there is environmental information about the appliance as well.

How to save energy

• Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place and near anything that gives off heat.
• Be sure that the condenser and the compressor are well ventilated. Do not cover the sections where ventilation is.
• Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film to avoid building up unnecessary frost.
• 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.
• Keep the condenser clean.

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.

Maintenance

Defrosting

Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chambers in form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the appliance.

Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as the temperature increases in the cooling chambers, they need more energy.

At this type of appliance defrosting the cooling surface of the refrigerator is automatic without any external intervention. The thermostatic control interrupts the operation of compressor at regular intervals for more or less time - during this cooling is interrupted - the temperature of the cooling surface goes above 0^ due to interior heating load of the compartment, so defrosting occurs. When the surface temperature of the cooling surface has reached +3 - +4^ the thermostatic control restarts operation of the system.

Melting water flows through defrost water outlet leaded through the back into the evaporator tray maintained on the top of compressor and evaporates due to its warmth.

Check and clean the outlet of melting water coming during defrosting regularly - a label inside the appliance warns you for this. If it is clogged the melting water gathered can cause earlier failure as it can go to the insulating of the appliance.

Clean the melting water outlet with the supplied pipe scraper that can be seen in the figure. The pipe scraper has to be stored in the outlet.

The most typical case of clogging up in the melting water outlet when you put food wrapped in some paper into the appliance and this paper contacts back plate of the refrigerator and freezes to it. If you remove the food right at this moment the paper will tear and it can cause clogging up in the outlet by getting into it. So you are asked to be careful - because of the above - when placing foods wrapped in paper into the appliance.

In case of increased demand e.g. during heatwaves, the refrigerator temporarily happens to operate constantly - during this the automatic defrosting does not work.

Remaining small ice and frost stains on back plate of the refrigerator after defrosting period is not abnormal.

Defrosting of the freezer is automatic in this model.

Regular cleaning

It is recommended to wash the inside of the refrigerator in 3-4 weeks time using lukewarm water then wipe it (it is practical to clean the inside of the freezer and defrost it at a time).

Household cleaner or soap must not be used.

After breaking the circuit wash the appliance with lukewarm water then wipe it. Clean the door gasket with clean water. After cleaning apply voltage to the appliance.

It is recommended to remove the dust and dirt collected on the back of the refrigerator and the condenser and to clean the evaporative tray on top of the compressor once or twice a year.

When the refrigerator is not in use

In case the appliance will not be used for a long time follow these steps:

Break the circuit of the appliance.

Remove foods from the refrigerator.

Defrost and clean it as written before.

Leave the door open to avoid a build up of air inside.

Trouble shooting

How to change the bulb

Should the light fail to work you can change it as below:

Break the circuit of the appliance.

Unscrew the screw holding the cover (1), press the rear hook (2) and at the same time slide the cover in the direction indicated by arrow (3). So the bulb can be replaced.

(Bulb type: 230-240 V, 15 W, E 14 thread)

After changing the bulb replace the cover, snap it in place, screw back the screw and apply voltage to the appliance.

If something does not work

During operation of the appliance some smaller but annoying trouble can often occur, which does not require calling a technician out. In the following chart information is given about them to avoid unnecessary charges on service.

We draw your attention that operation of appliance goes with certain sounds (compressor- and circulating sound). This is not trouble, this goes together with the operation of the appliance.

We draw it to your attention again that the appliance operates discontinuously, so the stopping of compressor does not mean being no-current. That is why you must not touch the electrical parts of the appliance before breaking the circuit.

Problem	Possible cause	Solution
It is too warm in the refrigerator.	Thermostatic control can be set wrongly. If products are not cold enough or placed wrongly. The door does not close tightly or it is not shut properly.	Set the thermostat knob to higher position. Place the products to the appropriate place. Check if the door closes well and the gas-ket is unhurt and clean.
It is too warm in the freezer.	Thermostatic control can be set wrongly. The door does not close tightly or it is not shut properly. Products in big quantity to be frozen were put in. Products to be frozen are placed too closely to each other.	Set the thermostat knob to higher position. Check if the door closes well and the gas-ket is unhurt and clean. Wait some hours and then check the temperature again. Place the products in a way so that cold air could circulate among them.
Water flows at the back plate of the refrigerator. Water flows into the cham- ber. Water flows onto the floor.	It is normal. During automatic defrosting frost melts on the back plate. The outlet of the chamber can be clogged up. Products placed in can prevent water from flowing into the collector. The melting water outlet flows not into the evaporative tray above the compressor.	Clean the outlet. Replace the products so that they can not touch the back plate directly. Put the melting water outlet to the evaporative tray.
There are too much frost and ice.	Products are not wrapped properly. Doors are not shut properly or do not close tightly. The thermostatic control can be set wrongly.	Wrap the products better. Check if the doors close well and the gas-kets are unhurt and clean. Set the thermostat knob to a position that gives higher temperature.
The compressor operates continually.	The thermostatic control is set wrongly. Doors are not shut properly or do not close tightly. Products in big quantity to be frozen were put in. Too warm food was put in. The appliance is in too warm place.	Set the thermostat knob to a position that gives higher temperature. Check if the doors close well and the gas-kets are unhurt and clean. Wait some hours and then check the temperature again. Put food at max. room temperature. Try to reduce the temperature in the room where the appliance stands.
The appliance does not work at all. Neither cooling, nor lighting works.	Plug is not connected to the mains socket properly. The fuse burnt out. The thermostatic control is not on. There is no voltage in the mains socket. (Try to connect another appliance into it.)	Connect the mains plug properly. Change the fuse. Start the appliance according to instruc-tions in chapter 'Putting it into use'. Call an electrician.
The appliance is noisy.	The appliance is not supported properly.	Check if the appliance stands stable (all the four feet should be on the floor).

Inasmuch as the advice does not lead to result, call the nearest brand-mark service.

Installing the appliance

Transportation, unpacking

It is recommended to deliver the appliance in original packaging, in vertical position considering the protective warning on packaging.

After each transportation the appliance must not be switched on for approx. 2 hours.

Unpack the appliance and check if there are damages on it. Report possible damages immediately to the place you bought it. In that case retain packaging.

Cleaning

Remove every adhesive tape and everything else, which ensure the accessories not to move in the appliance.

Wash the inside of the appliance using lukewarm water and mild detergent. Use soft cloth.

After cleaning wipe out the inside of the appliance.

Placement

The ambient temperature has an effect on the energy consumption and proper operation of the appliance. When placing, take into consideration that it is practical to operate the appliance between ambient temperature limits according to the climate class that is given in the chart below and can be found in the data label.

Class of climate	Ambient temperature
SN	+10 ... +32 °C
N	+16 ... +32 °C
ST	+18 ... +38 °C

If the ambient temperature goes below the lower data the temperature of the cooling compartment can go beyond the prescribed temperature.

If the ambient temperature goes beyond the upper data this means longer operating time of the compressor, breakdown in the automatic defrosting increasing temperature in the cooling compartment or increasing energy consumption.

In the bag of the accessories there are two spacers which must be fitted in the two top corners.

Slacken the screws and insert the spacer under the screw head, the re-tighten the screws.

When placing the appliance ensure that it stands level. This can be achieved by two adjustable feet at the bottom in front.

Do not stand the appliance on a sunny place or close to a radiator or cooker.

If it is unavoidable because of furnishing and the appliance has to be stood near a cooker take these minimum distances into consideration:

• In case of gas or electric cooker 3cm must be left, when it is less put a 0,5-1 cm non-flam insulation between the two appliances.
  In case of oil or coal-fired stove the distance must be 30 cms since they give off more heat.

The refrigerator is designed to operate when it is totally pushed to the wall.

When placing the refrigerator keep minimal distances recommended in figure.

A:placing it under a wall-cupboard
B:placing it freely
