DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE, BASIC PARTS

See fig. 1, page 1

* When the appliance is connected to the electricity supply, the green indicator light is

illuminated. Keys you will find on the shelf of the appliance.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING CONDITIONS OF THE

APPLIANCE

Preparing the appliance for operation

It is recommended to prepare the appliance for operation with a helper.

• Remove package. Lift the appliance away from foamed polystyrene base. Do not

rise or push it taking by handles.

• Therefore take out adhesive tapes from sides and simply lift the appliance up and

take out the board. Strip adhesive tapes off and open the door. Remove the spacer above the door.

• When positioning the appliance in chosen location, it will move more easily into

position if you lift the front a little and incline it backward allowing it to roll on its casters.

• Take two supports from the bag and insert them into the guides at the top back part

of the appliance (see fig. 2, page 1).

If the appliance is brought in from the cold (temperature is not higher than +12 °C), you should wait for two hours before connecting it to the mains.

The appliance should not be connected to the mains until all packing and transport materials aren’t removed. Suitably dispose the packaging material.

Positioning

• Place the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room.

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.

WARNING! The appliance must not touch any pipes for heating, gas or water supply or any other electrical devices.

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.

• If the appliance is placed in a corner, a gap of at least 1 cm must be left between the

appliance body and the wall (see fig. 3, page 1).

• 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.

The temperature in the refrigerator compartment is controlled using the thermostat knob 2 (see fig. 1, page 1) by turning it to one side or the other. Turning the thermostat knob clockwise the temperature in the compartment lowers. The temperature indication in digits is shown beside the thermostat knob. When the door is closed, the temperature setting can be seen on the thermostat indicator display 3 (see fig. 1, page 1).

The temperature is regulated on the scale of five digits.

0 = Compressor is switched off WARNING! Electric current is not switched off. 1 = highest temperature (lowest cooling) 5 = lowest temperature (highest cooling)

If foodstuffs in the refrigerator compartment are too cold, set the thermostat knob to 1, 2 or 3. If foodstuffs in the refrigerator compartment are not being chilled sufficiently,

set the thermostat knob to 4 or 5. Please set the desired temperature in the appliance according to your own requirements.

Wine temperature, oC

THE TEMPERATURE IN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT MAY VARY DEPENDING ON AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, THE AMOUNT OF FOODSTUFF AND HOW OFTEN THE APPLIANCE DOORS ARE OPENED AND CLOSED. Therefore we recommend:

• locate the appliance away from heat sources,

• appliance door must not to be left open.

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.

DEFROSTING, CLEANING AND CARE

THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT DEFROSTS AUTOMATICALLY. Drops of ice that form on the back wall of the refrigerator 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 back part of the appliance body you must disconnect the appliance from the electrical energy supply socket by pulling the plug out of the electricity outlet.

• Protect the appliance inner surfaces and plastic parts from fats, acids

and sauces. In case of accidental spills – immediately clean. Clean the appliance inner surfaces.

• Regularly clean the hermetic gaskets of the doors. Wipe dry.

• ◄ REGULARLY CLEAN THE THAW WATER CHANNEL SPACE WITH A

SPECIAL CLEANER 8 FOR THAT PURPOSE (see fig. 1).

• At least once a year clean dust away from the back part of the

appliance body and the compressor. A soft brush, electrostatic cloth or

vacuum cleaner may be used for cleaning.

• DO NOT use detergents containing abrasive particles, acid, alcohol or benzene for

cleaning the appliance inner and outer surfaces. Outer of the doors – glass – clean with agents intended for glass cleaning. DO NOT use for cleaning cloths or sponges that have coarse surfaces intended for scrubbing.

• IF THE APPLIANCE IS TO BE LEFT SWITCHED OFF FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD,

LEAVE ITS DOORS OPEN.

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 compressor switches on.

OPERATION PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS (TROUBLESHOOTING)

What if …

• The appliance is plugged in to the mains but it does not work and the

electricity supply voltage indicator is not illuminated. 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/doors are shutting tightly, whether the door wasn’t kept open longer than necessary when taking out or putting in foodstuffs.

• 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.

TRANSPORT

THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OF THE APPLIANCE THAT RESULTS FROM NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION.

• The appliance should be transported only in the vertical position.

• When being transported, the appliance should be protected from atmospheric

conditions (rain, snow, dampness).

• The appliance should be firmly secured in place while being transported, to avoid

slippage or any shocks in the transport vehicle.

• If the appliance was transported not vertically, it may be connected to the

mains after 4 hours at least. If this is not done, the appliance compressor may fail.

WARRANTY SERVICE

IF YOUR APPLIANCE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, ASCERTAIN WHETHER YOU CAN REMEDY THE CAUSE OF THE FAULTY FUNCTIONING OF THE APPLIANCE YOURSELF. If you cannot solve the problem yourself, contact the nearest refrigerator service representative by telephone or in writing. When making contact necessarily indicate the refrigerator model and number. You will find this data on the product label, which is glued to the wall of the refrigerator compartment.
