Important

•

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”.

Instructions for Use

These instruction for use are intended for the user. They describe the appliance
and its correct and safe use. They were prepared for various types/modes of
refrigerators therefore you may find in it description of some functions and
accesories that your appliance does not have.

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.

DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old

refrigerator of freezer: Remove all shelving so that children
can not climb on.

HOW TO OPERATE

Starting your new Refrigerator

1. Clean the refrigerator thoroughly . Wipe the outside with a soft dry cloth, the
interior with a clean moist cloth.

2. Insert the power supply cord into the socket.

3. Turn the thermostat dial to “7”. Close the door and let the refrigerator
operate for 15-20 minutes.

T emperature control

To control the internal temperature, adjust
the thermostat dial. The dial is numbered
from 1-7. Number 1 is the warmest setting,
number 7 the coldest.
The dial may be set any place on the scale.
It does not have to be set exactly on a
number. To make ice cubes in the freezer
compartment, adjust the thermostat to the
coldest setting.

How to defrost

MCBR170B/MCBR170S/MCBR170W/MCBR270B/MCBR270S/MCBR270W

Defrost the refrigerator when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about
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.

MCBR445B/MCBR445S/MCBR445W

Just push the defrost button to defrost refrigerator without any change of the
thermostat dial. When the frost accumulated on the evaporator melts,
refrigerator works without any additional operations. During defrosting, keep
door closed and drip tray in place.

The unit may fail to operate properly if restarted too quickly .

WHAT TO DO...

When the fridge is not in use for a prolonged period:

• Remove the power plug from the power point.

• Remove all contents from the fridge.

• Dry the interior and leave the door open for a few days.

When you wish to move the fridge:

• Secure all movable parts and contents.

(Package them separately if necessary .)

• Transport the fridge only in an upright position. In any other position you

may damage the compressor.

Before calling service, please follow the checklist below .
This may save you an expensive service call.

WARNING-Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric
shock. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire
extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that
will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension
cord should be AC1 15-120V, 10A, or more. If a grounding adapter is used,
make sure the receptacle box is fully grounded.

If the refrigerator seems too warm inside:

• Check that the door has not been opened too frequently or for too long.

• Check that the interior circulation is not obstructed by having too many

goods stored. (The fridge is overloaded)

• Did you store anything hot, without first cooling it to room temperature?

• Is there sufficient clearance around all sides and above the fridge?

If the fridge starts making any unusual noises:

• Is it wobbling? Re-level it and check if it now operates normally .

• Have any objects fallen behind the fridge? If so, remove them and check if

operation is now normal.

• Are any containers inside the fridge vibrating or resonating? If so, rearrange

them then check to see if operation has returned to normal.
