WARNING! The appliance should not be operated in an unheated room or porch. Place the appliance away from heat sources such as kitchen stove/oven, radiators, or direct sunlight.

The rear wall of the refrigerator, in particular, the condenser and other elements of the cooling system must not contact other elements, which may damage them, (e.g. central heating pipes and the water supply pipes).

Minimum distances from the heat sources:

• from the electric gas and other ovens - 30 mm,
• from oil or coal fired ovens - 300 mm,
• from built-in ovens - 50 mm

If there is no possibility of ensuring the above-mentioned distances, provide an appropriate insulation board.

• 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 (see fig. 4, page 2).
• If the appliance is placed in a corner, a gap must be left between the appliance body and the wall (see fig. 5, page 2).
• The appliance must stand on a level surface and must not touch the wall. If necessary, regulate the height of the appliance by adjusting the levelling feet: by turning them clockwise – the front of the appliance rises, by turning them counter clockwise – it comes down. If the appliance is tilted slightly backward – the doors will close by themselves.

Preparing for operation:

TEMPERATURE REGULATION

The temperature in the refrigerator compartment is controlled using the thermostat knob 1 (fig. 1) by turning it to one side or the other. The temperature indication in digits is shown beside the thermostat knob.

The temperature is regulated on the scale seven digits. The numbers "0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7" do not mean a specific temperature.

0 = Compressor is switched off. WARNING! Electric current is not switched off.

1 = highest temperature (lowest cooling)

7 = lowest temperature (highest cooling)

THE TEMPERATURE IN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT MAY VARY DEPENDING ON AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, THE AMOUNT OF FOODSTUFFS, THE TEMPERATURE OF THE FOODSTUFFS, AND HOW OFTEN THE APPLIANCE DOOR IS OPENED AND CLOSED.

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.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FOOD STORAGE

Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator chamber. The most appropriate compartments of the appliance where specific types of food are to be stored, taking into account different temperature distribution in different compartments in the appliance, are as follows:

1) Upper area of the refrigerator compartment - temperature zone: Store tropical fruit, cans, drinks, eggs, sauces, pickles, butter, jam.
2) Middle area of the refrigerator compartment - cool zone: Store cheese, milk, dairy food, deli food, yoghurt. ↓
3) Lower area of the refrigerator compartment - coldest zone: Store cold cuts, desserts, meat and fish, cheesecake, fresh pasta, sour cream, pesto/salsa, home-cooked food, pastry cream, pudding and cream cheese.
4) Fruit & vegetable drawer at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment: Store vegetables and fruits (excluding tropical fruits).

To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:

• Prolonged opening of the door can significantly increase the temperature in the compartments of the appliance: only open the door for the time required to place / remove food.
• Regularly clean surfaces that may come into contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
• Store fresh meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator so that they do not come into contact with or drip on other food.
• Do not put unpackaged food in the refrigerator.
• If the appliance is left empty for a long time, switch it off, defrost, clean, dry and leave the door open to prevent mold from forming inside the appliance.
• Strictly adhere to the expiration date for foods as stated by the manufacturer on the product packaging.

DEFROSTING, CLEANING AND CARE

THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT DEFROSTS AUTOMATICALLY. Drops of ice that form on the back wall of the refrigeration compartment thaw during the time the compressor is not working and the thaw water runs down the thaw water runoff channel to the tray on top of the compressor, where it evaporates.

REGULARLY CLEAN THE APPLIANCE.

Remember that before cleaning the appliance body you must disconnect the appliance from the electrical energy supply socket by pulling the plug out of the electricity outlet.

OPERATION PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS

• The appliance is plugged in to the mains but it does not work. Check that your house electricity supply installations are in order. Check that the plug is correctly inserted into the electricity supply socket.
• The noise has become louder. Check that the appliance is standing stable, on a level place. To make it level, regulate the front feet. Check if the appliance is not touching any furniture, and that no part of the refrigeration system at the back part of the appliance body is touching the wall. Pull the appliance away from any furniture or walls. Check that the cause of increased noise isn't due to bottles, cans or dishes in the appliance that might be touching each other.
• Water has appeared at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment. Check whether a thaw water channel space isn't blocked. Clean the thaw water channel space with a cleaner intended for that purpose.
• Water has appeared under the appliance. The thaw water collection tray has slipped off the compressor. Place the tray on top of the compressor.
• When the appliance door is opened, the rubber sealing gasket pulls out. The gasket is smeared with sticky foodstuffs (fat, syrup). Clean the sealing gasket and the groove for it with warm water containing soap or dishwashing detergent and wipe dry. Put the rubber sealing gasket back into the place.
• High temperature in appliance, the compressor operation pauses are short. Ascertain whether the appliance door is shutting tightly, whether the door wasn't kept open longer than necessary when taking out or putting in foodstuffs, or whether a large amount of warm food was placed in the appliance.
• The top of the appliance has condensation on it. The ambient relative air humidity is above 70 %. Ventilate the room where the appliance stands, and if possible, remove the cause of the humidity.

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.
