TIPS FOR USE

• If there is a power failure or the cord has been pulled out of the wall socket, it is necessary to wait at least 5 minutes before reconnecting the appliance. This 5-minute delay is done to prevent compressor damage.

• During a power failure, food can be stored for several hours inside the refrigerator and freezer. Open the door of the refrigerator and the freezer as little as possible in order to extend the freshness of the stored food.

• If you do not use the appliance for a long time, disconnect the appliance from the mains, clean the inside of the appliance with non-aggressive detergents (see the Cleaning and Maintenance section) and leave the appliance door open to prevent unpleasant odours inside the appliance.

• The ambient temperature in the room, the temperature of the food, the amount of food stored, and how often the door of the appliance gets opened have an effect on the temperature inside the appliance.
• If you do not attend to store frozen food, there is no need to have the freezer set to the maximum cooling power. If you leave the temperature set to the maximum cooling power for a long time, the drain line may get frozen.
• This appliance is designed for use at ambient temperatures of 16 °C to 38 °C. The appliance may not function properly if it is used in environment with ambient temperatures listed in the table.

Climate class Ambient Temperature

T 16 °C up to 43 °C

ST 16 °C up to 38 °C

N 16 °C up to 32 °C

SN 10 °C up to 32 °C

Tips for storing food in a refrigerator

The refrigerator is used to store fresh food for several days.

• Be aware that stored food should not touch the back wall. Leave some space around the individual items to ensure air circulation in the refrigerator.
• Do not put hot food or drinks in the refrigerator. It will increase the humidity inside the refrigerator.
• Store the food in closed containers or packed.
• Store liquids in closed containers or bottles.
• It is recommended to place the wrapped meat on the glass shelf above the fruit and vegetable drawer.

Please follow the instructions below to avoid degrading of stored food.

• Do not open the refrigerator door for longer than necessary, as the supply of warm air significantly increases the temperature inside the appliance.
• Clean surfaces that may be in contact with food and drainage channels regularly.
• Fresh meat and fish should be stored in a suitable place to avoid contact with other foods.

Tips for storing food in a freezer

The freezer is used to freeze fresh food, store frozen food for the time specified on the packaging and to produce ice.

• Pack the fresh food airtight. Special freezer bags, polyethylene bags and plastic containers are ideal.
• Prevent fresh food from coming into contact with already frozen food.
• In case of power failure, open the freezer door only when necessary and as little as possible. The freezer keeps the food frozen for up to 12 hours.
• Never place warm food or beverages in the freezer.
• Before putting frozen food into the freezer, make sure the packaging is not damaged.
• It is also not recommended to put beverages in glass bottles in the freezer, glass can easily rupture due to low temperatures inside the freezer.

USER MANUAL

Before first use

Before first use you should wipe the outside and inside of the appliance with a damp cloth for hygiene reasons. Wash all removable parts with warm soapy water.

After installing the refrigerator, leave the appliance standstill for at least half an hour before connecting to the mains. It is necessary to allow the cooling gases to set down. Then you can connect the refrigerator to the mains and let it run for 2-3 hours to stabilize a normal operating temperature. A slight odour may occur during this time. It will go away as soon as the appliance starts to cool. Then put fresh or frozen food inside the appliance.

Note: If a power failure occurs during the first run, wait for at least 5 minutes before switching on again or connecting to the mains.

Setting the Temperature inside the Refrigerator

1. Open the door of the appliance.
2. Internal temperature of the refrigerator and freezer compartment can be set with the internal temperature control (Fig.1).

3. Continuous turning of the controller from position "OFF" to position "MAX" sets cooler temperature inside.

4. The abbreviations shown on the controller do not indicate a specific set temperature, but a temperature level

5. If the thermostat is set to "OFF", it is turned off and the appliance does not cool or freeze.
6. For short-term food storage in the freezer, set the thermostat between "MIN" – "MED".
7. For long-term food storage in the freezer, set the thermostat to position "MED" and above.
   • The refrigerator should be operated for at least 24 hours to reach the desired cooling temperature.

Legend:

“Off” setting - The appliance does not cool
“Min” setting Minimum	Higher temperature than normal
“Med” setting Medium		Normal operation (suitable for most situations)
“Max” setting Maximum	The coldest temperature

- At high ambient temperatures, e.g. on hot summer days. You may need to set the thermostat to the coldest setting (position "Max"), which can cause the compressor to run continuously to keep the temperature in the refrigeration chamber low.

- When installing the refrigerator for the first time, set the thermostat knob to "Med".

Allow the refrigerator to cool completely before placing food. It is best to wait 24 hours before placing food in the refrigerator.

Setting the Temperature of Freezer Zone

- The freezer temperature is set automatically according to the set temperature in the refrigerator and it cannot be altered.

Note: Frozen water droplets may appear on the back wall of the refrigerator, it is a common phenomenon not a defect of the appliance.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet or switch off the circuit breaker of the appliance before cleaning and maintenance.
• The inside of the refrigerator should be cleaned according to the frequency of use to avoid unpleasant odours.
• One source of odour can also be dirt deposits around the sealing. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth prevents these unpleasant odours.
• For cleaning, we recommend using non-aggressive products, preferably clear lukewarm water along with a soft sponge or paper towel.
• Let the appliance open to dry out naturally after cleaning.
• For cleaning, we do not recommend cleaning agents such as alcohol, acetone, oil, toothpaste or any other abrasive products.
  • We do not recommend using coarse sponges or steel brushes.
  • We do not recommend using boiling water as it may cause damage to individual parts of the appliance.
• We do not recommend cleaning the appliance with a stream of water that could interfere with the insulation or cause a short circuit of some electronic components of the appliance.
• Clean all the accessories of the appliance with a solution of lukewarm water and a detergent. Never wash the accessories in a dishwasher!
• It is forbidden to use: soap, detergent, cleaning powder, spray cleaners, etc., as they could cause odour inside the refrigerator or contaminate food.

DEFROSTING

1. Disconnect the electrical plug from the mains
2. Move food from the refrigerator to place where it will not be spoiled, prepare a container to catch defrosting frost
3. Wipe the thawed water on the evaporator and the inner lining with a dry cloth, then wring the cloth out and repeat the process until the ice has completely thawed
4. To speed up the defrosting process, you can use an ice scoop (use only a plastic or wooden scoop to avoid damaging the seal and the inner lining) or a very fine brush in combination with the use of an adequate amount of warm water.
5. After complete defrosting and wiping the residual water inside the refrigerator with a dry cloth, you can put the food back in the refrigerator and switch on the appliance.

It may occur during the automatic defrosting, or it can be caused by the expansion and contraction of air inside the refrigerator and freezer.

Short cracking

It can be heard when the thermostat turns on and off the compressor.

Noise of the compressor

Running compressor produces noise. After the installation of the appliance, the compressor may be a little louder for a short time.

This sound is generated when the refrigerant is flowing through the appliance pipes.

Sound of running water

Water flows into the evaporator container during the defrosting process and it is audible throughout the defrosting process.

Sound of an airflow (sound of a ventilator)

The sound is created by the air circulation inside the appliance. This is a normal feature of a freezer equipped with a No-Frost system.
