General safety precautions
Keep these instructions and they should remain at
the appliance when moving away or changing
owner.
This appliance is designed for storing food,
domestic use according to these instructions only.
Specialised companies that are qualified to do
so by the manufacturer must carry out service
and repairs including repairing and changing
the power cord. Accessory parts supplied by
them should be used only for repairing. Otherwise
the appliance can be damaged or can cause other
damage or injury.
The appliance is out of circuit only in that case if the
plug is removed from the socket. Before cleaning
and maintenance always unplug it (do not get it by
the cable). If the socket is difficult to reach, switch
off the appliance by cutting off the current.
Power cord must not be lengthened.
Without the lamp cover of interior lighting you must
not operate the appliance.
When cleaning, defrosting, taking out frozen food
or ice tray do not use sharp, pointed or hard
devices, as they can cause damage to the
appliance.
Be careful not to allow liquids to the temperature
control and lighting box.
Ice and ice-cream can cause hurt if they are eaten
immediately after removal from the frozen food
compartment.
After dissolving frozen food must not be refrozen, it
must be used up as soon as possible.
Store pre-packed frozen food in accordance with
the frozen food manufacturer's instructions.
You must not make defrosting faster with any
electric heating appliance or chemicals.
Do not put hot pot to the plastic parts.
Do not store flammable gas and liquid in the
appliance, because they may explode.
Do not store carbonated drinks, bottled drinks and
bottled fruits in the frozen food compartment.
Check and clean the outlet of melting water coming
during defrosting regularly - a label inside the
appliance warns you for this. If it is clogged the
melting water gathered can cause earlier failure.
Precautions for child safety
Do not allow children to play with the packaging
of the appliance. Plastic foil can cause
suffocation.
Adults must handle the appliance. Do not allow
children to play with it or its controlling parts.
If you are discarding the appliance pull the plug
out of the socket, cut the connection cable (as
close to the appliance as you can) and remove
the door to prevent playing children to suffer
electric shock or to close themselves into it.
Safety precautions for
installation
Put the appliance to the wall to avoid touching or
catching warm parts (compressor, condenser)
to prevent possible burn.
When moving the appliance take care of the plug
not to be in the socket.
When placing the appliance take care not to
stand it on the power cord.
Adequate air circulation should be around the
appliance, lacking this leads to overheating. To
achieve sufficient ventilation follow the
instructions relevant to installation.
For the safety of life and property keep
the precautions of these user's
instructions as the manufacturer is not
responsible for damages caused by omission.

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 knob towards the bigger numbers
cooling becomes more and more intensive.
In the freezer -18 °C or lower temperature can be
reached if the thermostat knob is set to 3. In this
case the temperature starting automatically in the
refrigerator 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 continually. This
does not cause damages to the appliance.
How to use the cooling compartment
Developing interior air circulation is necessary
for adequate cooling. 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 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.
GB

Storing in the refrigerator
When placing the different kinds of food take into
consideration the sketch below in figure:
1. Butter, cheese
2. Eggs
3. Tubes, cans, sour cream, small bottles
4. Drinks in big bottles, soda-water and mousse
siphon
5. Fruits, vegetables, salads
6. Fresh meat, cold cuts, sausages, etc.
7. Milk, dairy products
8. Ready-cooked foods, confectionery, foods in
dishes covered, opened cans, bottles laid, etc.
Storage time and temperature of
foods
The storage time chart at the end of the instruction
book gives information about storage time.
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.
If you do not want to use up deep-frozen foods bought
immediately they can be stored for about 1 day (until
dissolving) in the refrigerator.
How to use the freezer
Freezing
In the compartment various fresh food can be frozen
at home. Mind the following to get thorough result.
Freeze fresh and faultless food only.
Before starting freezing set the thermostat knob to
position 3. Place the products to be frozen directly
to the cooling plate. The freezing process will take
about 24 hours. After 24 hours reset the thermostat
knob to a position adequate for you or leave it in
position 3, which generally meets the requirements
of everyday cooling. It is expedient to store frozen
products on the wire shelf in the frozen food
compartment.
Avoid opening the door of frozen food
compartment during freezing if possible.
It is not expedient to set the thermostat knob to
higher (e.g. 5) position. Freezing time could
be reduced this way, but the temperature of the fresh
food compartment would go beyond 0 °C
permanently, which would cause freezing to foods and
drinks stored there.
Never freeze food in bigger quantity than
given in the Technical data at the same
time, otherwise freezing will not be thorough and
after dissolving various deterioration may take
place (losing taste and aroma, lysing, etc.).
Do not make ice during freezing preferably,
because making ice reduces freezing capacity.
GB
8
Storing in the freezer
It is practical to replace frozen products into the wire
shelf adjustable vertically in the frozen food
compartment after freezing has finished. Doing this
you could make room in the freezing compartment for
another freezing. Intermediate freezing does not
deteriorate foods already stored.
Do not forget to keep to the storage time given
on the packaging of frozen products if you buy
them frozen. To store home-frozen products see the
storing instructions placed in the door of the freezer.
Symbols signify the various foods, numbers mean
maximum storing time given in months.
It is safe to store quick-frozen, frozen foods only
if they have not dissolved even for a short time
until placing them into the freezer.
If the deep-frozen food has already dissolved,
refreezing is not recommended, it has to be used up
as soon as possible.
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 position can shorten
preparing time. After finishing do not forget to reset
the thermostatic control to the suitable position.
Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under
running water then twist or hit it. If the ice tray freezes
to the compartment, avoid using metal tools or knife to
take it out as the cooling system can be damaged.
Some useful information and
advice
The variable shelves are worth paying attention to,
which increases the usability of the fresh food
compartment considerably. Rearranging the
shelves is also possible when the door is open at an
angle of 90°.
After opening and closing the door of freezer
vacuum will rise inside the appliance because of
the low temperature. So wait 2-3 minutes after
closing the door - if you want to open it again - while
inner pressure equalises.
Take care of operating the freezer at a position of
thermostatic control so that the inside temperature
can never go above -18 °C, since temperature
higher than this can deteriorate frozen foods.
It is practical to make sure of faultless operation of
the appliance daily so as to notice possible failure
in time and prevent deterioration of frozen foods.
How to save energy
The colder the ambient temperature of the
appliance is the less energy it uses.
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 avoid unnecessary openings.
Put foods into the appliance only in a closed
dish.
Put warm foods into the appliance only when
they are at room temperature.
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
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chambers
in form of frost and ice goes with the operation of
the appliance.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it
reduces cooling efficiency as the temperature
increases in the cooling chambers and they need
more energy.
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.

At this type of appliance defrosting the cooling plate of
the refrigerator is automatic without any external
intervention. The thermostatic control interrupts the
operation of compressor at regular intervals for more
or less time - during this cooling is interrupted - the
temperature of the cooling plate goes above 0 °C due
to interior heating load of the compartment, so
defrosting occurs. When the surface temperature of
the cooling plate has reached +3 - +4 °C the
thermostatic control restarts operation of the system.
Melting water flows through defrost water outlet
leaded through the back into the evaporative tray
maintained on the top of compressor and evaporates
due to its warmth.
Check and clean the outlet of melting
water coming during defrosting regularly a label inside the appliance warns you for this. If
it is clogged the melting water gathered can
cause earlier failure as it can go to the insulating
of the appliance.
Clean the melting water outlet with the supplied pipe
scraper that can be seen in the figure. The pipe
scraper has to be stored in the outlet.
The most typical case of clogging up in the melting
water outlet when you put food wrapped in some
paper into the appliance and this paper contacts back
plate of the refrigerator and freezes to it. If you remove
the food right at this moment the paper will tear and it
can cause clogging up in the outlet by getting into it.
So you are asked to be careful - because of the above
- when placing foods wrapped in paper into the
appliance.
In case of increased demand e.g. during
heatwaves, the refrigerator temporarily happens
to operate constantly - during this the automatic
defrosting is ineffective.
Remaining small ice and frost stains on back plate of
the refrigerator after defrosting period is not abnormal.
The freezer can not be equipped with automatic
defrosting set since the deep-frozen and frozen foods
do not endure melting temperature.
When small frost and ice occurs scrape off and
remove frost and ice coating with the supplied plastic
scraper.
The tray in figure is not a piece of accessories to the
appliance!
When ice coating is so thick that it cannot be removed
with the plastic scraper, the cooling plate has to be
defrosted. Frequency of defrosting depends on usage
(generally 2-3 times a year).
Take the frozen foods out of the appliance, and put
them into a basket lined with paper or cloth. Store
them in a possibly cool place or replace them into
another refrigerator.
GB

Pull out the mains plug from the mains socket, so both
parts of the appliance are out of operation.
Open the doors of both parts of the appliance and
clean the refrigerator according to 'Regular cleaning'.
Maintain and clean the freezer as following:
Sweep the melting water with a cloth or sponge off the
cooling plate. The melting water swept down gathers
in the bottom of the appliance and can be removed
according to figure.
Pull the plastic stopper out of the melting water
passage opening in the frozen food compartment. Put
a bowl or dish under the outlet in the fresh food
compartment to collect the melting water.
The bowl in figure is not a piece of accessories to the
appliance!
Wipe the surfaces after defrosting and leading the
water out, put the plastic stopper back to its place.
Put the mains plug into the mains socket and put
foods taken out back to their places.
It is recommended to operate the appliance at the
highest position of the thermostatic control for some
hours so that it can reach the sufficient storing
temperature as soon as possible.
Regular cleaning
It is recommended to wash the inside of the
refrigerator in 3-4 weeks time using lukewarm water
then wipe it (it is practical to clean the inside of the
freezer and defrost it at a time).
Household cleaner or soap must not be used.
After breaking the circuit wash the appliance with
lukewarm water then wipe it. Clean the door gasket
with clean water. After cleaning apply voltage to the
appliance.
It is recommended to remove the dust and dirt
collected on the back of the refrigerator and the
condenser and to clean the evaporative tray on top of
the compressor 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.
