Connection to the power sup ply sys tem
Electrical connection
The appliance is intended for connection to alternating current. The connection values for voltage (V) and frequency (Hz) are given on the nameplate in the cabinet. Power must be connected via a wall socket with switch. The wall socket should be easily accessible. All earthed requirements stipulated by the local electricity authority must be observed. The cabinet plug and wall socket should then give correct earthed. If in doubt, contact your local supplier or an authorized electrician.
WARNING – This appliance must be earthed
The exible cord (mains lead) tted to this appliance has three cores for use with a
3-pin 13-amp or 3-pin 15-amp plug. If a BS 1363 (13-amp) fused plug is used, it should
be tted with a 13-amp fuse.
Note:
First connection to the mains. The appliance provides information about the higher temperature (Hi alarm ) till the moment of cooling. The alarm is signalised by a sound signal and “Hi" caption on the display. To cancel the alarm, press any push button. Until the moment of cooling, the alarm is repeated every 15 minutes. Such an operating mode is normal until the required temperature settings are reached.

Operation
Change in the knob adjustment causes temperature change in the fridge-freezer. Possible knob adjustment:
l the appliance is off – 0 position; l intermediate temperatures range between and 0 position;
Do not put food into the fridge freezer before it has reached its opera­ting temperature, which takes minimum 4 hours.

Temperature inside the fridge / freezer chamber
Do not change the temperature settings due to the change in the season of the year. The ambient temperature increase will be detected by the sensor and the compressor will be switched on automatically for a longer period of time in order to maintain the temperature set inside the chambers.
Minor changes in temperature
The slight changes in temperature are perfectly normal and may occur, for instance during the storage of great quantities of fresh products in the fridge, or when the door is open for a longer period of time. This will not affect the condition of the stored food­stuff, and the temperature will quickly return to its set value.

Defrosting the refrigeration chamber
Frost settles on the rear wall of the fridge chamber. It is removed automatically. During the defrosting, the condensate, which contains contaminants may clog the opening in the through. Should it occur, ca­refully unclog the opening with the cleaning plug (Fig.5).
l The appliance operates in cycles: it refrigerates (then the frost settles on the rear
wall), and defrosts (water ows down the rear wall).
Disconnect the appliance from the mains before cleaning by removing the plug from the mains socket or switching off the fuse. Prevent water from penetrating the control panel or the light.
l Do not use defrosting aerosols. They may cause the formation of explosive mixture,
or contain slovents which may damage the plastic components of the appliance and even be harmful to health.
l Make sure the water used for cleaning does not ow into the evaporation container
through the discharge opening.
l The whole appliance, except for the door gasket must be cleaned with a mild cleaning
detergent. The door gasket should be cleaned with water and wiped dry.
l Wash all the accessories (vegetable containers, door shelves, glass shelves,
etc.).
Automatic fridge defrosting
The fridge chamber has been equipped with the automatic defrosting function. Ho­wever, frost may settle on the rear wall of the fridge chamber. This happens usually, when large quantities of fresh food products are stored in the fridge.
12
GB/IE
Defrosting the freezer chamber
l It is recommended to combine de-
frosting the appliance with washing it.
l Excessive accumulation of ice on the
freezing areas impairs the appliance’s freezing capacity and increases the energy consumption.
l Defrost the appliance at least once or
twice a year.
l If there is food in the freezer, set the
knob to the max. position about 4 hours before the planned defrosting. This will ensure the possibility of stor­ing the food at the ambient tempera­ture for a longer time.
l After taking the food out of the freez-
er, put it in a container, wrap it with several layers of paper, a blanket and store it at a cool place.
l The defrosting operation should last
as short as possible. Long storage of food at the ambient temperature shortens their shelf life.

Maintenance and Service
Energy saving
* Place the refrigerator away from heat sources (such as radiators and ovens (Fig.6). * Make sure air can circulate freely around the refrigerator, move it away from the wall at least 1 cm. * Let dishes cool down before putting them into the refrigerator, at least to room temperature. * Move the frozen food to the refrigera­tor while defrosting. You will utilize the low tem pe ra tu re of the frozen food for co oling the products gathered in the refrigerator chamber. * Defrost when there are ice depo­sits. Thick layer of ice ham pers cold transition to the food and increases electric energy con sump tion. * Keep the door open as shor tly as po ssi­ble when putting in or taking out food. The shorter the time the less ice will deposit on the evaporator.
the degree the appliance is lled up to.
Knowing that you will not use the refrigerator for a longer period of time:
* Set the temperature control dial to „0” and unplug the ap plian ce. * Empty the refrigerator and the freezer compartments (as ne eded). * Clean and dry the refrigerator or the freezer compartment. Wash carefully all the accessories (ve ge­ta ble containers, door shelves, glass shelves, shelf frames).
* Leave the refrigerator door slightly open to prevent the chambers from getting unpleasant smell.
Maintenance
* Periodically, once or twice a year, use a vacuum cleaner to dust the evaporator (black bars) located in the back of the refrigerator. Before the cleaning, set the tem pe ra tu re control dial to „0” and unplug the appliance. Make sure you do not damage the electric wires, the protection boxes and the capillary tube while cleaning.
