Putting it into use 
Place the accessories into the appliance then plug to the mains socket.
The thermostat knob is on the light box in the refrigerator. You can switch the
appliance on and set the temperature with it by turning the knob clockwise.
The next paragraph will give instructions for setting.
Controlling the temperature, setting
The thermostat interrupts the cooling automatically for more or less time
depending on the setting then restarts it assuring the required temperature.
The closer it is set to maximum position the more intensive the refrigerating
will be. When the thermostat knob is set to a medium position (between min-
imum and maximum), in the freezer a temperature colder than -18 °C, in the
refrigerator around +5 °C can be reached. Setting it to a medium position is
adequate for everyday use.
The temperature coming about in
the refrigerator is effected by not
only the position of the thermostat
but the ambient temperature, fre-
quency of door openings and the
quantity of food put into it newly,
etc.
In the maximum 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 ise the refrigerator
For adequate cooling developing interior air circulation is necessary. For this
reason you are asked not to cover the air circulation gaps behind the shelves
(e.g. with tray etc.).
Do not put hot food into the refrigerator. Allow it to reach room temper-
ature naturally. In this way the unnnecessary 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.

Interior Accessories
Storage Shelves
Various glass storage shelves are
included with your appliance. The
height of the storage shelves can be
adjusted:
1. To do this pull the storage shelf for-
ward until it can be swivelled
upwards or downwards and
removed.
2. Please do the same in reverse to
insert the shelf at a different
height.
Storing in the refrigerator
When placing the different kinds of food take into consideration the sketch
below in figure:
1 Confectionery, ready-cooked
foods, foods in 
dishes, fresh meat, cold cuts,
drinks
2 Milk, dairy products, foods in
dishes
3 Fruits, vegetables, salads
4 Cheese, butter
5 Eggs
6 Yoghurt, sour cream
7 Small bottles, soft drinks
8 Big bottles, drinks
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
The appliance can be used to freeze fresh food of quantity specified on the
data label. Freezing different products should always be done after proper
preparing as follows.
Set the thermostat knob to a medium position. 
Put the previously frozen food - or some of it - to the basket or baskets. Put
the fresh food into the freezing compartment, leaving enough space for air-
flow. If there is some previously frozen food left in the freezing compartment,
put this food into the back of the compartment avoiding the contact between
the fresh food and the already frozen food.
Run the appliance this way for 24 hours.
After 24 hours set the thermostat knob according to your choice or leave it
in a medium position, which is in general appropriate for everyday cooling
needs.
Setting the thermostat knob to a higher (e.g. maximum) position is not rec-
ommended. Although doing so would make the freezing time shorter, on the
other hand the temperature of the fridge compartment may go permanently
below 0 °C, what yields freezing the food 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 dissolv-
ing various deterioration may take place (losing taste and aroma, lysing,
etc.).
Do not make ice during freezing preferably, because making ice reduces freez-
ing capacity.
 
						

							42
Storing in the freezer
It is practical to replace frozen products into the basket(s) 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.
In large quantities of food are to be stored, remove the baskets except the
lowermost one from appliance and place food on the cooling surface.
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 stor-
ing 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. 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
1. The variable shelves are worth paying attention to, which increases the usabil-
ity of the fresh food compartment considerably. Rearranging the shelves is
also possible when the door is open at an angle of 90 .
2. 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.
3. Take care of opening the freezer at a position of thermostatic control so that
the inside temperature can never be warmer than -18  C.
4. 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.
5. Normal operating sounds:
A thermostat controls the compressor and you will hear a faint click when
thermostat cuts in and out.
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sound when the refrigerant is
pumped through the coils at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round and you
will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.
The fridge evaporator (this part cool down the fridge section) is foamed
into the cabinet. The temperature
of this part changing during its
work, and parallel with this its
dimensions are slightly changing,
too. These changes might cause a
cracking noise, which is a natural,
harmless phenomenon.
6. Should you want to check the tem-
perature of food stored in the refrig-
erator, set the thermostat knob into
a medium position, place a glass of
water centrally in the cabinet, and
put a proper thermometer with an
accuracy of +/- 1 °C into it. If after
6 hours you measure a value
between +3 °C and +8°C, the refrigerator works properly. The measuring shall
be performed under steady-stated conditions (without changing the load).
7. If the freezer temperature is measured using a thermometer, put it between
the products since this will reflect the real temperature in the frozen prod-
ucts.

Hints and ideas
In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given about how to use the appli-
ance to reach maximum energy saving and there is environmental informa-
tion about the appliance as well.
How to save energy
1. Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place near anything that gives off
heat.
2. Be sure that the condenser and the compressor are well ventillated. Do not
cover the sections where ventilation is.
3. Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film to avoid bulding up
unnecessary frost.
4. Do not leave the door open longer than necessary and avoid unnecessary
openings.
5. Put warm foods into the appliance only when they are at room temperature.
6. 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 recy-
clable.

Maintenance
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chambers in form of frost and 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, they need more energy.
At this type of appliance defrosting the cooling surface of the refrigerator is
automatic without any external intervention. The thermostatic control inter-
rupts the operation of compressor at regular intervals for more or less time -
during this cooling is interrupted - the temperature of the cooling surface
goes above 0°C due to interior heating load of the compartment, so defrost-
ing occurs. When the surface temperature of the cooling surface has reached
+3°C- +4°C the thermostatic control restarts operation of the system.
Melting water flows through defrost water outlet leaded through the back
into the evaporator tray maintained on the top of compressor and evaporates
due to its warmth.
Check and clean the outlet of melting
water coming during defrosting regu-
larly - 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 insu-
lating 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
hot 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 heatwawes, the refrigerator tem-
porarily happens to operate constantly - during this the automatic defrost-
ing does not work.
Remaining small ice and frost stains on back plate of the refrigerator after
defrosting period is not abnormal.
The freezer cannot be equipped with automatic defrosting set since the deep-
frozen and frozen foods do not endure melting temperature.
 
						

							46When small frost and ice occurs scrape off and remove frost and ice coating
with the supplied plastic scraper.
When ice coating is so thick that it cannot be removed with the plastic
scraper, the cooling gill have 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.
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 follows:
In order to lead the thaw water out remove the spout found at the middle
bottom of the appliance, turn and replace it according to the Fig. Put a prop-
er high bowl under the spout.
After the defrosting place the spout into its original position.
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 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.
