GENERAL

Vertical freezer WK 245 is a compressor based upright freezer designed for freezing and prolonged
storage of foodstuffs and for making ice.

Freezers are of the temperate climatic class "N" and are intended to be used under domestic
conditions in installations with ambient temperature of between +16°C and +32°C.

This freezer meets all up-to-date requirements for household refrigerators and electrical devices.
The refrigerant and the blowing agent are environmentally friendly - they don't contain ozone layer
depleting components.

 The appliance uses refrigerant R600a.

Since the construction of our freezer range is continuously being improved, minor changes may be
introduced without special notice in these instructions.

ATTENTION! THE FREEZING MODE (YELLOW LAMP LIGHTS IN THE FREEZER DISPLAY)
CAN OPERATE FOR NO MORE THAN THREE DAYS. DISREGARDING THIS MAY CAUSE THE
COMPRESSOR MOTOR TO BURN OUT.

! CAREFULLY READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL. If instructions are not followed, there is a
risk of injury, damage to the appliance, and loss of the right to free warranty service. We

recommend to keep the Instruction manual the whole time you have 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. Handles may break. Tear off adhesive tapes.

• 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.

• Remove the support from the bottom cover. Tear away the red-coloured
adhesive tapes from the door trays – they are intended only for the
transport of the appliance.

• Suitably dispose the packaging material.

◄ Take two supports from the bag and insert them
into the guides at the top back part of the appliance.

• ATTENTION! In order to fix the upper small door

when closing, the upper corners of the door till a click ►

POSITIONING.

VENTILATION

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

• ATTENTION! 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.

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

• Do not cover the ventilation holes at the top of the appliances– it must be a good
air circulation 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 ►

◄ Overall space required in use of the freezer. 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 so that the freezer
compartment door can be opened enough to pull out the frozen
product drawer.

• 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.

TEMPERATURE REGULATION

! Temperature set in the freezer by the manufacturer is -18 0C

The temperature in the appliance is controlled using the thermostat knob 5 (fig. 1) by turning it to
one side or the other. The temperature indication in digits is shown beside the thermostat knob. When
the appliance door is closed, the thermostat position is seen on the thermostat position indicator 3
(fig. 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)
! Please set the desired temperature in the appliance according to your own requirements.
! THE TEMPERATURE IN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT MAY VARY DEPENDING ON AMBIENT

TEMPERATURE, THE AMOUNT OF FOODSTUFFS, THE TEMPERATURE OF THE FOODSTUFFS, AND
HOW OFTEN THE APPLIANCE DOOR IS OPENED AND CLOSED.
Therefore we recommend:

• locate the appliance away from heat sources,

• food placed in the appliance should not be warmer than the room temperature,

• the appliance door must not to be left open, the appliance door should not be open longer than it is
necessary to take out or put in foodstuffs.

! 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.

FREEZING OF FOOD STUFFS IN THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

In the freezer compartment, the fast-freeze section is marked with the symbol
The storage section is marked with the symbol
In order to freeze fresh food products turn on the fast-freeze function: turn the thermostat knob to
the setting S. When the fast-freeze mode is turned on, the yellow indicator light is illuminated. After
24 hours, place the fresh food products to be frozen in one or two rows in the fast-freeze section.
When the food products are frozen after 24 hours should be removed from the fast-freeze section and
placed in the storage section drawer(s). When the food products are frozen, return the thermostat

knob to its initial setting. The fast-freeze mode yellow indicator light will cease to be illuminated.
ATTENTION! The fast-freeze function does not turn off automatically — it needs to be
switched off!
ATTENTION! The appliance cannot operate in fast-freeze mode for more than 72 hours.
Failing to heed this requirement will damage the appliance's compressor.

• DO NOT EXCEED THE INDICATED MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF FOOD FOR FREEZING- IT IS 24 KG PER
24 HOURS.

◄Leave a gap of not less than 2,5 cm between the foodstuffs being frozen and
the upper partition.

• Do not place unwrapped foodstuffs in the freezer sections.

• Fresh food for freezing should not touch already frozen foodstuffs.

• Do not freeze foodstuffs that are warmer than the room temperature.

• Do not freeze liquid foodstuffs in glass vessels or bottles. Do not

freeze carbonated beverages.

• Strictly observe the frozen food product validity dates indicated by the manufacturer on the product
packaging.

• WE RECOMMEND THAT FROZEN FISH AND SAUSAGE SHOULD BE STORED IN THE FREEZER
COMPARTMENT NOT LONGER THAN 6 MONTHS; CHEESE, POULTRY, PORK, LAMB – NOT MORE
THAN 8 MONTHS; BEEF, FRUIT AND VEGETABLES – NOT LONGER THAN 12 MONTHS.

MAKING ICE-CUBES

Ice-cubes are prepared in a tray for making ice-cubes. Fill each space in the ice cube tray ¾ full of
drinking water. Place the ice-cube tray in the fast-freeze section. When you want to remove the ice­cubes from the ice-cube tray, leave it for 5 min at room temperature and then shake the cubes into
the special dish for them.

DEFROSTING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

The freezer compartment should be thawed not less than twice a year or when a layer of ice thicker
than 5 mm forms in it. Do the actions below in the order they are listed:

WARNING! Turn the appliance off and pull the plug out of the electrical socket.

• To remove foodstuffs, to place them into containers, to cover them with
a heavy cloth and to leave them in a cold place.

◄ To pull out the plug on the bottom of the freezer. The plug will be
pulled out easier after 10 - 20 minutes.

• To leave the door of the compartment open.

• When the ice melts, clean and wipe dry the surfaces and fixtures of the

freezer compartment.

• Close the freezer compartment door. Plug in and turn on the appliance.

CLEANING AND CARE

! REGULARLY CLEAN THE APPLIANCE.
! Remember that before defrosting the freezer compartment and 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 with warm soapy water or dishwashing detergent. Wipe dry.

• Clean the appliance inner surfaces with warm soapy water. Dishwashing detergent may also be
used.

• Wipe dry inner and outer surfaces.

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

• 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.

• DO NOT use for cleaning cloths or sponges that have coarse surfaces intended for scrubbing.

Practical tips and observations.

• Frozen foodstuffs should be thawed in the refrigerator compartment. Food that thaws slowly retains
better flavour properties and spread cold will help to maintain the set temperature in the
refrigeration compartment. Do not consume ice made in the freezer chamber straight away.

• Products will freeze more quickly if they are divided up and packed in small portions.

• 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’s
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.

• 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.

• The temperature rise indicator light is illuminated red. This means the appliance is being
connected to the electricity supply for the first time or it was disconnected for a significant period (for
thawing or during an interruption to the electricity supply), the freezer compartment door is not closed or
is being frequently opened and closed, or a large amount of fresh food has been put in, and therefore the
temperature in the compartment has risen above -9 ºC. When the temperature in the compartment
again falls below -9 ºC, the indicator light will go out.

ATTENTION! If the temperature indicator light does not go out (for reasons other than those
listed above) for longer than six hours, the compressor is either working constantly or is not
functioning. You need to consult service people.

• High temperature in appliance, the compressor operation pauses are short. Ascertain whether
the appliance door is shutting tightly, whether the door wasn’t kept open longer than necessary when
taking out or putting in foodstuffs, or whether a large amount of warm food was placed in the appliance.

• 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 TO 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.

! 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 left wall of the refrigerator compartment,
near the fruit and vegetable trays.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
