Handling the appliance Putting it into use Place the accessories into the appliance then plug to the mains socket. The thermostat knob is installed in the work plate on 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 operation of the appliance 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 minimum and maximum), in the freezer a temperature colder than -18 00, in the refrigerator around +5 ºC 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, frequency 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 heat waves - the compressor may operate continually. This does not cause damages to the appliance. How to use 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 temperature naturally. In this way the unnecessary frost building up can be avoided. Foods can take over odors from each other. So it is essential to put foods in closed dishes or wrap them in cellophane, aluminum foil, and greaseproof 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. 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. Frizzed food storage 6. Fast freeze 7. Fruits, vegetables, salads 8. Milk, dairy products, ready-cooked foods, confectionery, foods in dishes covered, opened, cans, bottles laid, fresh meat, sausages, 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 thermostatic control knob to maximum position and put the wire drawer in the frozen food compartment to the highest position. Then put in the quantity to be frozen, directly into the wire shelf. Freezing is completed in approx. 24 hours. After 24 hours set the thermostatic control knob back to Medium position, which is usually adequate for everyday use. It is practical to store the frozen food in the lower basket. 16782345 iiii4Fix the double door holder onto the left side using the screws (2 pieces). Be careful that the door edge of the freezer is parallel with the edge of the mantle (figure 10). Change the position of the lower door mask cover (Figure 7). Remove opening mask on from the work plate and fix it to the other side with double adhesive tape enclosed in the bag of spare parts (Figure 8). Install work plate back to the refrigerator. Fit the door of the refrigerator to the double door hinge. Fix the upper door shaft onto the left side using the screws you removed previously. Be careful that the door edge of the refrigerator is parallel with the edge of the mantle. Put over the handle on the opposite side and cover up the vacant holes with the plastic nails from the bag of spare parts. After released the screws the adaptation of the doors can be adjusted with the horizontal control of middle door hinge. Put the appliance to its place, set its level with leveling front legs, and connect it to the electricity supply. In case you do not want to perform the procedures above, call the nearest brand-mark service. Technicians will accomplish the refilling expertly for charge. Electrical connection This refrigerator is designed to operate on 230 V AC (~) 50 Hz supply. The plug must be put into a socket with protective contact. If there is no such, it is recommended to get an electrician to fit an earthed socket in compliance with standards near the refrigerator. This appliance complies with the following E.E.C. Directives: - 73/23 EEC of 19.02.73 (Low Voltage Directive) and subsequent modifications, - 89/336 EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive) and subsequent modifications. 11
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. max) position. Freezing time could be reduced this way, but the temperature of the fresh food compartment would go beyond 0 ºC 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.). Storing in the freezer After finishing freezing it is practical to put the frozen food from the wire drawer in the frozen food compartment into the basket under that making room for a next possible freezing. Food already stored is not damaged by another freezing. Do not forget to keep to the storage time given on the packaging of frozen products if you buy them frozen. It is safe to store quick-frozen, frozen foods only if they have not dissolved even for a short time until placing them into freezer. If the deep-frozen food has already dissolved, refreezing is not recommended, it has to be used as soon as possible. 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 equalizes. Take care of operating the freezer at a position of thermostatic control so that the inside temperature can never be warmer than -18 ºC 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. iiiiii Normal operating sounds: o A thermostat controls the compressor and you will hear a faint click when thermostat cuts in and out. o You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sound when the refrigerant is pumped thorough the coils at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator. o When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor. o 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 natural, harmless phenomenon. Should you want to check the temperature of food stored in the refrigerator, 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 ºC into it. If after 6 hours you measure a value between +3 ºC and +8 ºC the refrigerator works properly. The measuring shall be performed under steady- stated conditions (without changing the load). If the freezer temperature is measured using a thermometer, put it between the products since this will reflect the real temperature in the frozen products. 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. using a thermometer, put it between the products since this will reflect the real temperature in the frozen products. !5The plastic bag of accessories also contains two spacers to be fitted into special holes in the back of the appliance. Fit the spacers into the holes, taking care to ensure that the spacer is positioned as shown in Figure. Then turn them through 45° until they lock into place. Do not stand the appliance on a sunny place or close to a radiator or cooker. If it is unavoidable because of furnishing and the appliance has to be stood near a cooker take these minimum distances into consideration: In case of gas or electric cooker 3 cm must be left, when it is less put a 0,5 - 1 cm non-flam insulation between the two appliances. In case of oil or coal-fired stove the distance must be 30 cms since they give off more heat. The refrigerator is designed to operate when it is totally pushed to the wall. When placing the refrigerator keep minimal distances recommended in figure. A: placing it under a wall-cupboard B: placing it freely Change of door opening direction Should the setting-up place or handling demand it, door opening direction can be refilled from right-handed to left- handed. Appliances on the market are right- handed. Following operations are to be done on the basis of figures and explanations: Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. Tilt back the appliance carefully. It is recommended to ask another person for help, who can keep the appliance at this position safely. Remove cover from the upper door mask, and remove upper door shaft (Figure 1). Take off the door of the Refrigerator by pulling it slightly upwards. Dismount the double door holder by removing two screws in front (Figure 2). Take off the door of the freezer by pulling it slightly upwards, and remove plastic door limiter from the bottom of the door by removing the screw. Install left door limiter enclosed in the bag of spare parts (Figure 3). Remove the refrigerator work plate (figure 5). Unscrew the upper door hinge of the refrigerator, and then screw it back on the other side (Figure 6). Remove the screws of the lower door hinge on the left side and screw it back on the other side of refrigerator (Figure 6). Fit the door of the freezer to the lower door hinge. ! 10
How to save energy Avoid pulling 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 warm foods into the appliance 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 symbol 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. 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. ii 6 Instructions for the Installer Technical data Installing the appliance Transportation, unpacking It is recommended to deliver the appliance in original packaging, in vertical position considering the protective warning on packaging. After each transportation the appliance must not be switched on for approx. 2 hours. Unpack the appliance and check if there are damages on it. Report possible damages immediately to the place you bought it. In that case retain packaging. Cleaning Remove every adhesive tape and everything else, which ensure the accessories not to move in the appliance. Wash the inside of the appliance using lukewarm water and mild detergent. Use soft cloth. After cleaning, wipe out the inside of the appliance. Placement The ambient temperature has an effect on the energy consumption and proper operation of the appliance. When placing, take into consideration that it is practical to operate the appliance between ambient temperature limits according to the climate class that is given ithe chart below and can be found in the data label. If the ambient temperature goes below the lower data the temperature of the cooling compartment can go beyond the prescribed temperature. If the ambient temperature goes beyond the upper data this means longer operating time of the compressor, breakdown in the automatic defrosting increasing temperature in the cooling compartment or increasing energy consumption. When placing the appliance ensure that it stands level. This can be achieved by two adjustable feet (1) at the bottom in front. 9
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. 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 with a hygroscopic cloth or a sponge Wipe the surfaces after defrosting. 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. Press the front hook and at the same time slide the cover in the direction indicated by horizontal arrow (1), than remove cover by pulling it gently down as indicated by arrow (2). So the bulb can be replaced. (Bulb type: 230-240 V, 15 W, F 14 thread) After changing the bulb replace the cover, snap it in place and apply voltage to the appliance. 7If 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 no- current. That is why you must not touch the electrical parts of the appliance before breaking the circuit.!Problem Possible cause Solution It is too warm in the refrigerator Thermostatic control can be set wrongly. If products are not cold enough or placed wrong. The door does not close tightly or it is not shut properly. Set the thermostat knob to higher position. Place the products to the appropriate place. Check if the door closes well and the gasket is unhurt and clean. It is too warm in the freezer Thermostatic control can be set wrongly. The door does not close tightly or it is not shut properly. Products in big quantity to be frozen were put in. Products to be frozen are placed too closely to each other Set the thermostat knob to higher position. Check if the door closes well and the gasket is unhurt and clean. Wait some hours and then check the temperature again. Place the products in a way so that cold air could circulate among them. Water flows at the back plate of the refrigerator Water flows into the chamber Water flows onto the floor It is normal. During automatic defrosting frost melts on the back plate. The outlet of the chamber can be clogged up. Products placed in can prevent water from flowing into the collector The melting water outlet flows not into the evaporative tray above the compressor Clean the outlet. Replace the products so that they can not touch the back plate directly. Put the melting water outlet to the evaporative tray. There are too much frost and ice. Products are not wrapped properly. Doors are not shut properly or do not close tight. The thermostatic control can be set wrongly. Wrap the products better Check if the doors close well and the gaskets are unhurt and clean. Set the thermostat knob to a position that gives higher temperature. The compressor operates continually. The thermostatic control is set wrongly. Doors are not shut properly or do not close tight. Products in big quantity to be frozen were put in. Set the thermostat knob to a position that gives higher temperature. Check if the doors close well and the gaskets are unhurt and clean. Wait some hours and then check the temperature again. Put food at max. room temperature. The appliance does not work at all. Neither cooling, nor lighting works. Indicator lamps do not give light. Too warm food was put in. The appliance is in too warm place. Plug is not connected to the mains socket proper. The fuse burnt out. The thermostatic control is not on.
