Handlin the appliance
Puttin it into use
P ace the accessories into the refrigerator then p ug to
the mains socket. To start coo ing turn the contro dia
on the right-hand side of the fresh food compartment
from 0 c ockwise according to the figure. In 0
position the app iance is out of operation.
The next paragraph wi give instructions for setting.
Controllin the temperature, settin
The thermostatic contro er interrupts the operation of
the app iance automatica y for more or ess time
depending on the setting then restarts it assuring the
required temperature.
Turning the contro button towards the bigger numbers
coo ing becomes more and more intensive.
In the frozen food compartment -18 °C or ower
temperature can be reached if the knob of the
thermostatic contro is set to 3. In this case the
temperature starting automatica y in the fresh food
compartment is about +5 °C or be ow. The 3
position genera y meets the requirements of everyday
coo ing.
The temperature coming about in the refrigerator is
effected by not on y the position of the thermostatic
contro but the ambient temperature, frequency of
door openings and the quantity of food put into it
new y, etc.
In the maximum i.e. 5 position - in case of
increased demand e.g. during heatwaves -
without disconnecting continuous operation can
occur. This does not cause damages to the app iance.

Stora e time and temperature of
foods
The enc osed 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 exact y in
advance, as it depends on the freshness and hand ing
of the coo ed food. That is why the storage time made
known is on y informative.
It is safe to store quick-frozen food on y that way if they
were not disso ved even for a short time unti p acing
them into the frozen food compartment.
How to use the four-star frozen food
compartment
Depending on the position of the thermostatic contro
-18 °C or ower can be kept here.
At this temperature for a certain time deep-frozen
products avai ab e on the market can be stored. It is
a so suitab e for freezing and storing sma er quantity
of fresh food.
In 24 hours' time approximate y 2 kgs of food can be
frozen.
Pack the foods tight y in p astic or a uminium foi , coo
them in the fresh food compartment and then p ace to
the frozen food compartment.
It is recommended to write the date on it when it was
p aced in.
You can put the next product to be frozen into the
frozen food compartment if the previous one has
a ready been frozen thorough y.
How to use the fresh food
compartment
For adequate coo ing deve oping interior air
circu ation is necessary. For this reason you are
asked not to cover the who e surface of the wire
she ves with paper, trays, etc.
Do not put hot food into the refri erator.
Allow it to reach room temperature naturally.
In this way the unnecessary frost buildin 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, rease-proof paper or clin film
before placin them into the refri erator. This way
foods will keep their moisture e. . ve etables will
not dry out after some days.
How to make ice cubes
To make ice cubes fi the enc osed ice cube tray
with water and put it to the frozen food
compartment. Wetting the bottom of the tray and
setting thermostatic contro knob to maximum
stage can shorten preparing time. After finishing do
not forget to reset the thermostatic contro to the
suitab e 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 variab e she ves are worth paying
attention to, which increases the usefu ness
of the fresh food compartment considerab y.
Rearranging the she ves is a so possib e when the
door is open at an ang e of 90°.
The inside configuration of the door makes
rearranging the door she ves as required possib e.
Hints and ideas
In this chapter practica hints and ideas are given
about how to use the app iance to reach maximum
energy saving and there is environmenta
information about the app iance as we .
How to save ener y
The co der the ambient temperature of the
app iance is the ess energy it uses.
Avoid putting the app iance in a sunny p ace and
near anything that gives off heat.
Be sure that the condenser and the compressor
are we venti ated. Do not cover the sections
where venti ation is.
Wrap products in tight y c osing dishes or c ing
fi m to avoid bui ding up unnecessary frost.
Do not eave the door open onger than
necessary and avoid unnecessary openings.
GB

24
When c osing the door of the frozen food
compartment take care to move its bo t in the
direction of the arrow to fit it to the ock proper y.
Put foods into the app iance on y in a c osed dish.
Put warm foods into the app iance on y when they
are at room temperature.
Keep the condenser c ean at the back of the
app iance.
The appliance and environment
This app iance does not contain gasses which cou d
damage the ozone ayer, in either its refrigerant circuit
or insu ation materia s. The app iance sha not be
discarded together with the urban refuse and rubbish.
Avoid damaging the coo ing unit, especia y at the rear
near the heat exchanger. Information on your oca
disposa sites may be obtained from your municipa
authorities.
The materia s used on this app iance marked with the
sympo are recyc ab e.
Maintenance
Defrostin
B eeding part of the moisture of coo ing chamber in
form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the
refrigerator.
Thick frost and ice has an insu ating effect, so it
reduces coo ing efficiency as the temperature
increases, it needs more energy, at a certain
thickness it does not a ow the door of the frozen food
compartment to open, possib y the door can be
broken.
At this type of app iance defrosting fresh food
compartment is automatic without any externa
intervention.
The thermostatic contro interrupts the operation of
compressor at regu ar interva s for more or ess time -
during this coo ing is interrupted - temperature of the
fresh food compartment increases and defrosting
occurs. After defrosting the thermostatic contro
restarts operation of the system.
Me ting water f ows through defrost water out et into
the evaporative tray maintained on the top of
compressor and evaporates due to warmth of it.
Check and clean the outlet of meltin
water comin durin defrostin re ularly. If
it is clo ed the meltin water athered can
cause earlier failure as it can o to the insulatin
of the appliance.
C ean the me ting water out et with the supp ied pipe
scraper that can be seen in the figure. The pipe
scraper has to be stored in the out et.
Occasiona y check defrost water out et not to be
c ogged up.
GB

25
The most typica case of c ogging up in the defrost
water out et when you put food wrapped in some
paper into the app iance and this paper contacts back
p ate of fresh food compartment and freezes to it. If
you remove the food right at this moment the paper
wi tear and it can cause c ogging up in the out et by
getting into it. So you are asked to be carefu
- because of the above - when p acing foods wrapped
in paper into the app iance.
In case of increased demand e.g. during
heatwaves, the refrigerator temporari y happens
to operate constant y. During this the automatic
defrosting is ineffective.
Remaining sma ice and frost stains on back p ate of
the fresh food compartment after defrosting period is
not abnorma .
The frozen food compartment can not be equipped
with automatic defrosting set since the deep-frozen
and frozen foods do not endure me ting temperature.
So the enc osed p astic scraper is for scraping off and
removing frost and ice coating which possib y occurs
in the frozen food compartment and on the sea ing of
the door.
The tray in figure is not a piece of accessories to the
app iance!
When ice coating is so thick that it can not be removed
with the p astic scraper, the frozen food compartment
has to be defrosted (genera y 2-3 times a year).
Take the foods out of the frozen and fresh food
compartment, wrap them into some ayers of paper or
c oth. Put them to a possib e coo p ace whi e
defrosting.
Break the circuit of the app iance and eave the doors
of frozen and fresh food compartment open.
Continuous y b ot off the defrosting water by a soft
c oth or sponge.
After defrosting wipe the surfaces, app y vo tage to the
app iance and put the foods back to their p aces.
It is recommended to operate the app iance at the
highest position of the thermostatic contro so that it
can reach the proper storing temperature as soon as
possib e.
Re ular cleanin
It is recommended to wash the inside of the
refrigerator in 3-4 weeks time.
Househo d c eaner or soap must not be used.
After you made it no-current wash the app iance using
ukewarm water and wipe it.
C ean the magnet door rubber profi e with c ean water.
After c eaning p ug the app iance to the mains socket.
GB

26
It is practica to c ean and defrost the frozen food
compartment at a time and when it is empty.
Dust and dirt co ected on the back of the refrigerator,
condenser is recommended to be removed and c ean
the evaporative tray on top of the compressor once or
twice a year.
When the refri erator is not in use
In case the app iance wi not be used for a ong time
fo ow these steps:
Break the circuit of the app iance.
Remove foods from the refrigerator.
Defrost and c ean it as written before.
Leave the door open to avoid a bui d up of air inside.
Trouble shootin
How to chan e the bulb
Shou d the ight fai to work you can change it as
be ow:
Break the circuit of the app iance.
Unscrew the p ate screw fixing the amp cover, then
take the amp cover off in the direction of arrow and
the bu b can be changed. (Type of the bu b: Mignon
322, 230 V, 15 W, E 14 thread)
After changing bu b rep ace the amp cover, screw the
p ate screw and app y vo tage to the app iance.
The ack of ight does not inf uence operation of the
refrigerator.
If somethin does not work
During operation of the app iance some sma er but
annoying troub e can often occur, which does not
require ca ing a technician out. In the fo owing chart
information is given about them to avoid unnecessary
charges on service.
We draw your attention that operation of app iance goes
with certain sounds (compressor- and circu ating
sound). This is not troub e, but means norma
operation.
We draw it to your attention again that the
app iance operates discontinuous y, so the
stopping of compressor does not mean being no-
current. That is why you must not touch the e ectrica
parts of the app iance before breaking the circuit.
