Important

• DANGER or WARNING: Risk of child entrapment.

• Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned appliances are still dangerous... even if they will “just sit in the
garage a few days.”

• Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer : Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

•

If you have bought this appliance to replace an old one equipped with a lock that
cannot be opened from inside (lock, bolt), make sure that the lock is broken.
This will make it impossible for children to lock themselves inside the appliance
and suffocate.

• The appliance must be correctly connected to the power supply. (See: How to
install)

• Do not touch the cooled surfaces while the appliance operates, especially not
with wet hands, because the skin may stick to the cold surfaces.

• Do not freeze bottles containing liquid, especially not soft drinks, such as
mineral water, sparkling wine, beer, cola etc., because liquid expands during
freezing and the glass bottle is very likely to blow up.

• Do not eat frozen food (bread, fruit, vegetables), because you can get
frostbites.

• If the food has strange smell or color, throw it away, because it is very likely
that it is spoiled and therefore dangerous to eat.

• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before repairing it (only a
qualified technician should repair it), before cleaning.

• Do not defrost the appliance with other electric devices (hair dryer etc.) and
never scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp tools.

• The rating plate is inside the appliance or outside on the rear wall.

Before Putting Into Use

1

• Before connecting the appliance to the power supply , let it stand for about 2
hours, which will reduce a possibility of malfunctions in the cooling system due
to transport handling.

• Clean the appliance, and be thorough, especially in the interior (See Cleaning
and Maintenance).

• In case the interior accessories are not correctly placed, rearrange them as
described in chapter “NAME OF THE P ARTS”.

Tips for Energy Savings

• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot.
Once you open the door, mind to close it as soon as possible.

• Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate
air circulation behind the appliance).

• Set thermostat from higher to lower settings as soon as possible (depends on
how loaded the appliance is ambient temperature etc).

• Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh foods, make sure they
are cooled to ambient temperature.

• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so do clean the appliance as
soon as the layer is 1/8” thick.

coldest setting.

How to defrost

󱇲FR-062R / FR-092R / FR-143R

5mm (1/5inch) thick.
Set the thermostat dial to “OFF”. Remove frozen or perishable foods. keep drip
tray in place. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost quickly remove all
foods from the refrigerator and leave the door open.

Never use a knife or

other

metal instrument to scrape ice/frost from the evaporator. After defrosting,

empty water from drip tray and return the thermostat dial to the desired position.

󱇲FR-143RV(SS)

Just push the defrost button to defrost refrigerator without any change of the
thermostat dial. When the frost accumulated on the evaporator melts,
