Handling the appliance

Putting it into use

Place the accessories into the refrigerator then plug to the mains socket. To start cooling turn the control dial on the right-hand side of the fresh food compartment from 0 clockwise according to the figure. In 0 position the appliance is out of operation.

The next paragraph will give instructions for setting.

Controlling the temperature, setting

The thermostatic controller interrupts the operation of the appliance automatically for more or less time depending on the setting then restarts it assuring the required temperature.

Turning the control button towards the bigger numbers cooling becomes more and more intensive.

In the frozen food compartment -12°C or lower temperature can be reached if the knob of the thermostatic control is set to 3. In this case the temperature starting automatically in the fresh food compartment is about +5 °C or below. The 3 position generally meets the requirements of everyday cooling.

The temperature coming about in the refrigerator is effected by not only the position of the thermostatic control but the ambient temperature, frequency of door openings and the quantity of food put into it newly, etc.

In the maximum i.e. 5 position - in case of

increased demand e.g. during heatwaves - the compressor may operate continously. This does not cause damages to the appliance.

The position of the drip tray is practical to be

set according to the chart to operate the refrigerator properly:

Type If the ambient Position

temperature is of drip tray

greater than

200** +25 °C Open (pos. 1)

To set the open position the drip tray seen in the figure has to be pulled out to the level of the frozen food compartment door in the direction the arrow 1, in this way larger quantity of cold air can get into the fresh food compartment (summer working method). If the close position (winter working method) is required push the drip tray to the back of the cooling camber in the direction of the arrow 2.

If you want to remove the drip tray (e.g. cleaning) raise the back part of the drip tray and it can be taken out.

Hints for storage

When placing the different kinds of food take into consideration the sketch in figure:

1. Storing frozen foods, making ice and ice-cream.

2. Confectionery, ready-cooked foods

3. Foods in dishes

4. Opened cans

5. Milk, dairy products

6. Fresh meat, cold cuts, sausages, etc.

7. Fruits, vegetables, salads

8. Cheese, butter

9. Eggs

10. Yoghurt, sour cream

11. Small bottles, soft drinks

12. Big bottles, drinks

Storage time and temperature of foods

The enclosed charts at the end of the user's instructions give information about storage time in the frozen and the fresh food compartment.

The storage time can not be determined exactly in advance, as it depends on the freshness and handling of the cooled food. That is why the storage time made known is only informative.

It is safe to store quick-frozen food only that way if they were not dissolved even for a short time until placing them into the frozen food compartment.

How to use the two-star frozen food compartment

The frozen food compartment is separated from the fresh food compartment by the drip tray.

Depending on the position of the thermostatic control

-12 °C or lower can be kept here. Smaller quantity of fresh food can be frozen in the two-

star frozen food compartment but storing them for a longer time is not recommended.

Do not allow warm products placed newly into the frozen food compartment to be in touch with already frozen foods.

How to make ice cubes

To make ice cubes fill the enclosed ice cube tray with water and put it to the frozen food compartment. Wetting the bottom of the tray and setting thermostatic control knob to maximum stage can shorten preparing time. After finishing do not forget to reset the thermostatic control to the suitable stage.

Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under running water then twist or hit it.

Some useful information and advice

The variable shelves are worth paying attention

to, which increases the usefulness of the fresh food compartment considerably. Rearranging the shelves is also possible when the door is open at an angle of 90°.

Hints and ideas

In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given about how to use the appliance to reach maximum energy saving and there is environmental information about the appliance as well.

How to save energy

Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place and near anything that gives off heat.

Be sure that the condenser and the compressor are well ventilated. Do not cover the sections where ventilation is.

Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film to avoid building up unnecessary frost.

Do not leave the door open longer than necessary and open it when it is needed.

Put liquid into the appliance only in a closed dish.

Put warm foods and liquid in the appliance only when they are at room temperature.

Defrost the appliance when the ice in the frozen food compartment is more than 4-5 mm thick.

Keep the condenser clean.

The appliance and environment

This appliance does not contain gasses which could damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant circuit or insulation materials. The appliance shall not be discarded together with the urban refuse and rubbish. Avoid damaging the cooling unit, especially at the rear near the heat exchanger. Information on your local disposal sites may be obtained from your municipal authorities.

The materials used on this appliance marked with the sympol are recyclable.

Maintenance

How to use the fresh food compartment

For adequate cooling developing interior air

circulation is necessary. For this reason you are asked not to cover the whole surface of the wire shelves with paper, trays, etc.

Do not put hot food into the refrigerator.

Allow it to reach room temperature naturally. In this way the unnecessary frost building up can be avoided.

Foods can take over odours from each

other. So it is essential to put foods in closed dishes or wrap them in cellophane, aluminium foil, grease-proof paper or cling film before placing them into the refrigerator. This way foods will keep their moisture e.g. vegetables will not dry out after some days.

Defrosting

Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber in form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the refrigerator.

Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as the temperature increases, it needs more energy, at a certain thickness it does not allow the door of the frozen food compartment to open, possibly the door can be broken.

We recommend to defrost the frozen food compartment once a week and when the

frost is more than 4-5 mm.

Empty the frozen food compartment. Put the drip tray into closed position, and switch off the appliance by removing plug from the mains socket.

Defrosting usually takes several hours, at the end you can remove the collected water from the drip tray by placing another tray under it then pull out the plastic cork at the bottom. When the thaw water came out, replace the cork and plug the appliance to the mains socket.

Regular cleaning

It is recommended to wash the inside of the refrigerator in 3-4 weeks time.

Household cleaner or soap must not be used. After you made it no-current wash the appliance using

lukewarm water and wipe it. Clean the magnet door rubber profile with clean water. After cleaning plug the appliance to the mains socket. It is practical to clean and defrost the frozen food

compartment at a time and when it is empty. Dust and dirt collected on the back of the refrigerator,

condenser is recommended to be removed once or twice a year.

When the refrigerator is not in use

In case the appliance will not be used for a long time follow these steps:

Break the circuit of the appliance. Remove foods from the refrigerator. Defrost and clean it as written before. Leave the door open to avoid a build up of air inside.

Trouble shooting

How to change the bulb

Should the light fail to work you can change it as below:

Break the circuit of the appliance. Unscrew the plate screw fixing the lamp cover, then

take the lamp cover off in the direction of arrow and the bulb can be changed. (Type of the bulb: Mignon 322, 230 V, 15 W, E 14 thread)

After changing bulb replace the lamp cover, screw the plate screw and apply voltage to the appliance.

The lack of light does not influence operation of the refrigerator.

If something does not work

During operation of the appliance some smaller but annoying trouble can often occur, which does not require calling a technician out. In the following chart information is given about them to avoid unnecessary charges on service.

We draw your attention that operation of appliance goes with certain sounds (compressor- and circulating sound). This is not trouble, but means normal operation.

We draw it to your attention again that the

appliance operates discontinuously, so the stopping of compressor does not mean being nocurrent. That is why you must not touch the electrical parts of the appliance before breaking the circuit.
