Description of the appliance, main parts
General information
The official designation of the appliance is home
refrigerator with a two-star frozen food compartment.
According to this the appliance is suitable for storing
frozen and deep-frozen food for limited time and
making ice.
The appliance can meet the requirements of
standards between different temperature limits
according to the climate class.
The letter symbol for class of climate can be found
on the data label.

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
T T 160** +25 °C Open (pos. 1)
200** +25 °C Open (pos. 1)
250** +16 °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.
In figure the T T 160** appliance can be seen.

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
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.
At this type of appliance defrosting is so-called
semi-automatic.
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.

9
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, then push the defrosting button in
the center of the knob of the thermostatic control at
the right side of the fresh food compartment.
During defrosing cooling is interrupted after finishing it
starts again automatically.
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.
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 no-
current. That is why you must not touch the
electrical parts of the appliance before breaking
the circuit.
