Instructions for Use
Tips for Energy Savings
By using the appliance correctly and by taking
into account our recommendations, you can
make substantial energy savings.
Refrigerator
• Try not to open the door too often,
especially when the weather is wet and
hot. Once you open the door, remember 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 the 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 layers increase energy
consumption, so do clean the appliance as
soon as the layer is 3 - 5 mm thick.
• The condenser on the rear wall should be
always clean, free of dust or any impurities.
Cooker
The bottom of the dish
is too thin and becomes
crooked in the process
of heating up. The
consequence is excessive
consumption of energy and
uneven distribution of heat.
incorrect
The dish is too big or
too small. Temperature
resistant glass, protruding
over the edge, might break.
Dish with too small bottom
diameter excessively
consumes energy and is
not economical.
incorrect
Adequate size of cooking
dishes. Below are some
important suggestions how
to use your new cooker and
its accessories in order to
save as much energy as
possible.
correct
Stick to the general rule:
The better the quality of the dish, the lower
consumption of energy!
Tips for purchasing crockery
• Good quality dishes feature thick flat
bottom. Uneven bottom of the dish causes
increased consumption of energy and
extended cooking time.
• When purchasing new crockery carefully
check if the diameter quoted refers to
the upper rim or the bottom. The latter is
usually always smaller.
• Use of pressure cookers additionally saves
energy, since food is prepared in a closed
dish and under pressure. Furthermore,
shorter cooking time preserves the vitamin
contents.
Tips for effective use of crockery
• The best transfer of energy is obtained if
the bottom diameter of the dish is identical
to the hotplate diameter, and if the dish is
placed exactly in the center of the hotplate.
• If the diameter differs, it is always better
to have bigger crockery than smaller. The
loss of energy is greater, and stains may be
burned to the hotplate.
• Use pot lids and cover your cookware
whenever possible.
• The dish size should always suit the
quantity of food. Excessively big pot wastes
too much energy.
• Reduce power regulation towards the end
of cooking, and switch the hotplate off
before cooking is complete, to be able to
use the remaining heat.

(number depends on the model)
Shelf can be optionally placed on the guides
inside the appliance. It is protected against
pulling out. If you want to remove it, slightly lift
up the back part and pull it out.
Glass shelves (some models only have them)
are protected with plastic spacers. Before
pulling the shelf out, spacers must be moved
towards you. Spacers can be also removed,
however, it is better to keep them for any later
transport. Quickly perishable food should be
stored on the back i.e. the coldest part of the
shelves.
Defrost Water Outlet (2)
Regularly check the defrost water outlet and
the channel, because they should never be
clogged (as for example with food rests). If
clogged, use a plastic straw and clean it.
Fruit and Vegetable Container (3)
The container is on the bottom under the glass
shelf and is used mainly for storing fruits and
vegetables. It provides adequate humidity
which has favourable effect on food stored.

Instructions for Use
Operation Control
The appliance is controlled with thermostat
knob, situated in the right upper part inside the
appliance.
Turn the knob clockwise from STOP (0)
position towards 7 and backwards.
Temperature Selection
Higher settings on the knob (towards 7)
mean lower temperatures (colder) in all three
compartments of the appliance. Temperature
in the interior of the appliance may even drop
below 0°C. When the ambient temperature is
normal, we recommend medium setting.
• Changes of the ambient temperature affect
temperature in the interior of the appliance
(choose correct setting of the thermostat
knob).
• In STOP (0) position the appliance does
not operate (the cooling system is switched
off), yet power supply is not interrupted (the
light is on, when you open the refrigerator
door).
• Temperature in the refrigerator and in
freezing compartment depends on the
frequency of opening the door as well.
Use
Storing Fresh Foods
Proper use of the appliance, adequately
packed food, correct temperature and
taking into account hygienic precautions will
substantially infl uence the quality of the food
stored.
• Foods to be stored in the refrigerator
should be properly packed as to prevent
mixing various moisture degrees and odors
(in polyethylene bags or sheet, aluminium
foil, wax paper, or stored in covered
containers or bottles).
• Before storing food in the refrigerator,
remove the excessive packaging (like
yoghurt in multipackage).
• Pack systematically and make sure that
foodstuffs do not touch each other (various
odours may mix). Assure adequate air
circulation around packages.
• Never store inflammable, volatile or
explosive substances.
• Beverages with high alcohol percentage
shall be stored in tightly sealed bottles in
vertical position.
• Food should not touch the rear wall of the
refrigerator!
• Foods should be cooled down before
storing.
• Crispy and delicate foods should be stored
in the coldest parts of the refrigerator.
• Try not to open the door too often.
• Set the thermostat to the setting where
lowest temperatures are reached. Set the
thermostat gradually as to avoid freezing of
the foods.
Use a thermometer and measure
the temperature in the individual
compartments. Place the thermostat in a
glass vessel filled with water. Temperature
readings are most reliable few hour after
steady state is reached.
• Some organic solutions like volatile oils
in lemon and orange peel, acid in butter
etc. can cause damages when in contact
with plastic surfaces or gaskets for longer
period of time.
• Unpleasant odor inside the refrigerator is
a sign that something is wrong with foods
or that your refrigerator needs cleaning.
Unpleasant odor can be eliminated or
reduced by washing the interior of the
refrigerator with a mild solution of water
and vinegar. We also recommend using
activated carbon filters to clean the air or to
neutralize odors.
• If you plan a longer journey, make sure to
remove quickly perishable articles of food
out of the appliance before you leave.

Instructions for Use
Freezing Fresh Foods
Appropriate use of the appliance, appropriate
packaging of food, maintaining an appropriate
temperature, and observing the rules of food
hygiene are of key importance for the quality of
freezing fresh food and storage of frozen food.
• Carefully select food you intend to freeze; it
should be of adequate quality and suitable
for freezing.
• Use correct packaging and wrap it right.
- The packaging should be air tight and
shouldn't leak since this could cause
substantial vitamin loss and dehydration
of foods.
- Foils and bags should be soft enough to
tightly wrap around the foods.
• Mark packages with following data: kind
and amount of foods and the date of
loading.
• It is most important that the food is frozen
as quickly as possible. Therefore we
recommend the size of the package not
to be too large and to be cooled before
loading into the freezer.
• The amount of fresh foods that can be
loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is
indicated on the rating plate (freezing
capacity). If the loaded amount is too large,
the quality of freezing is reduced which
affects the quality of frozen foods.
Freezing Procedure
• 24 hours before loading the freezer with
fresh foods to be frozen, set the thermostat
to position 4-6. Put packages on the shelf
and let them freeze. Some 24 hours after
loading the packages of fresh foods, reset
the thermostat,if necessary, to operating
temperature. (See Temperature Selection)
and reload the frozen packages to the
bottom shelf.
• The next time you want to freeze fresh
foods, repeat the freezing procedure and
be careful that packages with fresh foods
do not touch frozen packages.
• For freezing smaller amount of foods
(up to 1 kg) there is no need to change
the thermostat setting (see Temperature
Selection).
Storing Frozen Foods
Frozen foods can be stored on the bottom of
the appliance or on the shelf.

Commercially Frozen Foods
The storage time and the recommended
temperature for storing commercially frozen
foods are indicated on the packaging. For
storing and using consider the manufacturer's
instruction. When shopping, be careful and
choose only adequately packed foods provided
with complete data and stored in freezers
where the temperature is not higher than
-18°C. Do not buy packages of food covered
with frost layer.
This indicates that the package was thawed
before at least once. Be careful that packages
don't start to thaw, as the temperature raise
reduces the quality of foods.

Ice Making
(certain models only)
Recommended thermostat position for ice
making is on the middle setting. Fill two thirds
of the ice tray with cold water or any other
liquid convenient for freezing. Insert the ice tray
into the guides or on the cooling plate.
Time required for the ice to form, largely
depends on ambient temperature, thermostat
setting and on how often you open the door.
It usually takes 2-6 hours (depends on which
model of refrigerator you have). With smaller
refrigerators we recommend you make a stock
of ice cubes (store them in a separate plastic
box).
The easiest way to empty the ice tray is to turn
the tray around, pour it with cold water and
slightly twist it (bend it).
Page 14

Instructions for Use
Maintenance and Cleaning
The kitchen unit can best be cleaned with hot
water, liquid detergent and a soft cloth. Don't
use abrasive cleaning agents or sharp objects.
Burnt or dried food remains should fi rst be
soaked and softened. Stainless steel parts
should be cleaned
with special cleaning agents, which must never
be used for cleaning aluminium parts.
Hot Plates
Never clean the appliance with pressurized hot
steam cleaner!
Before cleaning switch the cooker off and let it
cool down completely.
Hotplates and the surrounding area
should be cleaned with warm water and mild
detergent. Soak any dried stains with a wet
sponge.
All four hotplates must be thoroughly cleaned
each time after use. If they are lightly stained,
wipe them with moist cloth and some detergent.
In case of heavily stained cooktop use the steel
sponge dipped in detergent. Wipe the hotplates
dry after each cleaning.
Liquids containing salt, boiling food spilled over,
and any other kind of moisture may damage
the hotplates, so always wipe them dry after
cleaning.
To maintain the appearance of hotplates
you may use a few drops of sewing machine
oil and rub it in, or use the usual cleaning
and maintaining agents, available in stores.
Never apply butter, lard and the like, as you
might provoke corrosion. Cleaning agent will
penetrate quicker if the hotplate is warm.
Hotplate rims are made of stainless steel and
might assume yellow colour with time, because
of the temperature effect. This is a physical
phenomenon, and it may be partly removed
with the usual metal cleaning agents.
Aggressive cleaning accessories for dishes are
not suitable for cleaning of rims, as they might
cause scratches.
Refrigerator
Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator,
because ice formation on the inner back wall
is defrosted automatically. Ice is formed on
the inner back wall during the compressor
operation; later on, when the compressor is
not operating ice is defrosting and water drops
collect and drain through the outlet in the inner
back wall into the drain pan situated above the
compressor, from where it evaporates.
Manual Defrosting of the Freezing
Compartment
When the frost and ice layer in the freezing
compartment is 3-5 mm thick, you should clean
the freezer.
• Turn the thermostat knob to STOP (0)
position, and disconnect the power supply.
Empty the compartment and take care that
the packages remain frozen.
• Place a suitable vessel under the freezing
compartment to collect the defrost water.
Leave the door of the compartment open to
accelerate defrosting.
• Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may
cause damage to the plastic parts and may
be hazardous to health.
Cleaning the Appliance
Disconnect the power supply before
cleaning the appliance!
Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning
agents as you can damage the surface.
Be careful to remove any cleanser agent
remaining after cleaning.
• Clean the exterior with water and
detergent.
• Varnished surfaces are cleaned with soft
cloth and an alcohol based cleaning agent
(for example glass cleaners). You may
also use alcohol (ethanol or isoprophylic
alcohol). The application of abrasive and
specially aggressive cleaners, such as the
stainless steel cleaners, is not appropriate
for the cleaning of plastic and coated parts.
• Remove the detachable accessories in
the interior of the appliance and clean it
with water and liquid detergent. Plastic
parts cannot be washed in washing
machine.
• Wash the interior of the appliance with
lukewarm water, in which you added one or
two spoonfuls of vinegar.
• Every now and then wipe the condenser
on the rear wall. Use soft non-metal brush
or vacuum cleaner.

Instructions for Use
Trouble-Shooting Guide
• Do not forget to clean also the defrost
water receptacle above the refrigerator
compressor (do not remove the
receptacle).
After cleaning, connect the appliance to power
supply and reload the packages.
Switch Off the Appliance When Not In Use
If you do not intend to use the appliance for
a longer period, set the thermostat knob to
the STOP (0) position, disconnect the power
supply, take out the foods and defrost and
clean the appliance. Leave the door slightly
open.
Sink
The sink is made of stainless steel and can
be cleaned with any of the special cleaning
agents for stainless steel. Always consider
the instructions given by the manufacturer of
thecleaning agent.
The user can come across troubles appearing
during the operation of the appliance. We are
listing some of troubles, which in most cases
result from improper handling of the appliance
and can be eliminated by yourself.
The Appliance Fails to Operate After
Connecting to the Mains Supply
Check the supply in the outlet socket and make
sure the appliance is switched on (thermostat
knob in operating position).
Continuous Operation of the Refrigerating
System
• the door was frequently opened or it was
left opened for too long;
• the door is not properly closed (the door
may sag, the gasket may be polluted or
damaged);
• perhaps you have overloaded the
appliance with fresh foods;
• The reason may be inadequate ventilation
of the compressor and condenser (assure
adequate air circulation and wipe off the
condenser);
Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall
As long as the defrost water runs to the
channel and through the opening to the drain
pan on the compressor, automatic defrosting
of the appliance is assured. In case the ice
formation on the inner back wall is increased
(3-5 mm), ice should be manually defrosted.
Set the thermostat knob to STOP (0) position
and leave the door open. Never use electric
devices for defrosting and do not scrape the ice
or frost layer with sharp objects.
After completed defrosting, turn the knob to
desired position and close the refrigerator door.
The cause of increased ice formation may be
one of the following:
- the door does not seal well (clean the
gasket if it is contaminated, or replace it
if it is damaged);
- the door was frequently opened or it was
left opened for too long;
- the food stored in the refrigerator was
warm;
- the food or dish is touching the inner
back wall.

Water is Leaking From the Refrigerator
In case the discharge water outlet is clogged,
or the defrost water drips over the channel,
water leaks from the refrigerator.
• Clean the clogged opening, for example
with a plastic straw.
• Manually defrost the increased ice layer.
See "Ice Formation on the Inner Back
Wall".
Noise
Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances
is enabled by the refrigerating system with
compressor, which produces noise. How noisy
the appliance is depends on where it is placed,
how it is used and how old the appliance is.
• During the operation of the compressor
the noise of liquid is heard and when the
compressor is not operating, the refrigerant
flow is heard. This is a normal condition
and it has no influence whatsoever on the
lifetime of the appliance.
• After starting the appliance, the operation
of the compressor and the refrigerant flow
may be louder, which does not mean that
something is wrong with the appliance and
it has no influence on the lifetime of the
appliance. Gradually the noise is reduced.
• Sometimes unusual and stronger
noise is heard, which is rather unusual
for the appliance. This noise is often a
consequence of inadequate placing.
- The appliance shall be placed and
levelled firmly on solid base.
- It should not touch the wall or kitchen
units standing next to it.
- Check the accesories in the interior of
the appliance, they should be placed
correctly in their positions; also check the
bottles, tins
