Product Characteristics
The refrigerators (Phot.1) are designed for household use.
The refrigerator chamber should be used exclusively for storage of fresh grocery
products.
The refrigerators are designed for operation in the ambient temperaure from
+10°C to +43°C (SN-ST-T).
The elements of the cooling system of the appliance are located behind the back wall
of the chamber in order to maximize the capacity of the chamber, fa ci li ta te ke eping
the chamber clean and increase durability of the product (protecting from potential
damage).
Shelves are made of safe tempered glass (Phot.2).
They can be cleaned the normal way or in dishwashers.
Special construction of the frames for the glass shelves (Phot.2) makes it possible to
adjust the distance between the shelves.
In order to change the distance between the shelves:
• take out the frames,
• place the glass the printed side facing down,
• re-install the frames adjusting the distance between the shelves as needed.
The photographs present 2 examples of placing the shelves in the refrigerator.
• distance between the shelves decreased (Phot.3),
• distance between the shelves increased (Phot.4).
Installation and removal of shelves:
• In order to take out a shelf hold the right side of the shelf, lift the left side with your
left hand about 45° and take the shelf out (Phot.5).
• Start taking out the shelf for cleaning with the top one, start putting them back
in with the bottom one.
• Shelves are installed as follows:
- put the shelf in at an angle about 45° (just like taking it out)
- align the projections with the groves located at the sides of the refrigerator chamber.

Before You Start
Placement of the product
• Unpack the product; remove the tape securing the door and the accessories. Remove
the remains of the glue, if any, with delicate cleaning detergent.
• Do not throw the Styrofoam element of the packaging away. Should you have to
transport the product again, secure the refrigerator with the Styrofoam ele ments, the
plastic foil, and Scotch tape.
• Wash the inside of the refrigerator chamber and the accessories with lukewarm
water with some di sh wa sher li qu id and then wipe it and dry.
• Place the refrigerator in a dry, ventilated place, out of sun, far from such heat sources
as the oven, central heating radiators, etc.
If it is impossible to place the re fri ge ra tor away from a heat source, use an ap pro pria te
insulation board or make sure the distance from the refrigerator is:
- at least 3 cm from electric or gas cookers,
- at least 30 cm from oil or coal-red stoves.
• If you place the refrigerator next to another refrigerating of freezing unit, the lateral
distance between the appliances
should be at least 2 cm.
• Once placed, make sure the refrigerator is not standing on the power supply cord.
• For easy opening of the re fri ge ra tor door the distance be twe en the side (the hin ges side) and
the room wall should be at least 5 cm.
• Any modication of the refrigerating system is prohibited. Be especially careful not
to do any damage to the capillary tube (Phot.6 (1)) located in the re cess next to the
com pres sors. The tube cannot be bend, straightened or coiled. Damage of the capillary
tube by the user waives the guarantee of the re fri ge ra tor.
Connection to the power supply system
• We advise setting the temperature con trol dial to „0” before the connection.
• The appliance should be connected to a system of alternating current, 230 V / 50
Hz, through a properly installed soc ket.

21
Operation
Temperature control
There are 8 settings of the control dial:
„0” - the appliance is off
„1” - the highest temperature in the refrigerator (warmest)
„2” to „6” - intermediate settings
„7” - the lowest temperature in the refrigerator (coldest)
• Do not overll the refrigerator chambers before they are cooled down.
Storage of produce in the refrigerator
• Produce should be placed on plates, in containers or packaged with food wrap.
Place it evenly on the shelves. Make sure the food is not touching the back wall - it
could lead to frosting or wetting of the products.
• Do not put any dishes with hot content into the refrigerator.
• Products easily taking over foreign avors, such as butter, milk, farmer cheese, and
product with intense avor, such as sh, smoked meat, hard cheese, should be placed
on the shelves packaged in food wrap or in tightly sealed containers.
• Food should be stored in different refrigeration zones, depending on their type and
shelife. Use the gures when selecting the zone for a product.
• Storage of vegetables, containing a lot of water, can cause deposition of steam on
the vegetable containers; it does not impact proper operation of the refrigerator.
• Dry the vegetables thoroughly before putting them into the refrigerator.
• Excessive moisture shortens shelife of vegetables, especially leafed vegetables.
• Do not wash vegetables before storing . Washing removes natural protection, so it
is better to wash vegetables directly before use.
• Beverages should be stored in tightly sealed bottles.
• Note! Do not allow contact of oil and fat with plastic elements and the door gasket.
Defrosting the refrigeration chamber
Frost settles on the back wall of the refrigeration chamber. It is automatically removed.
During the defrosting, the condensate can contain some impurities that could clog up
the opening in the through. Should it occur, delicately unclog the ope ning with the
cleaning plug. (Phot.7).
The appliance operates in cycles: it refrigerates (frost sets on the back wall during
the phase) and defrosts (water ows down the back wall).
• Absolutely set the temperature control dial to „0” and unplug the appliance before
cleaning.
• The whole appliance except the door gasket can be cleaned with mild cleaning de-
tergent. The door gasket should be cleaned with water anly and wiped dry. Detergents
containing abradant or acids are not suitable for the cleaning.

22
Maintenance and Service
Exchanging the bulb
• Set the dial to „0” and unplug the appliance.
• Unscrew the bulb cover with a cross-head screwdriver and take the cover off
(Phot.8).
• Exchange the bulb with a new one observing the parameters: 220 - 240 V, max. 15
W, E14 thread, maximum bulb dimensions: diameter - 26 mm, length - 55 mm.
• Put the cover back and tighten it with the screws (Phot.9).
Energy saving
• Place the refrigerator away from heat sources (such as radiators and ovens (Phot 10).
• Make sure air can circulate freely around the refrigerator, do not block the ventilation
grid .
• Let dishes cool down before putting them into the refrigerator, at least to room
temperature.
• Keep the door open as shortly as possible when putting in or taking out food.
The shorter the time the less ice will deposit on the evaporator.
• Adjust the dial setting to the degree the appliance is lled up to.
Knowing that you will not use the refrigerator for a longer period of
time:
• Set the temperature control dial to „0” and unplug the ap plian ce.
• Empty the refrigerator chamber.
• Clean and dry the refrigerator.
Wash carefully all the accessories (vegetable containers, door shelves, glass shelves,
shelf frames).
• Leave the refrigerator door slightly open to prevent the chambers from getting
unpleasant smell.
Maintenance
• Periodically, once or twice a year, use a vacuum cleaner to dust the evaporator (black
bars) located in the back of the refrigerator. Before the cleaning, set the temperature
control dial to „0” and unplug the appliance. Make sure you do not da ma ge the electric
wires, the protection boxes and the capillary tube while cleaning.
• You may come across small problems while using the refrigerator that you
can repair yourself.
• By repairing yourself any problems except the ones listed in the table below
inevitably waives the guarantee rights.

Different sounds may be heard during operation. The sounds do not effect correct
operation of the refrigerator.
The sounds that can be heard during normal operation:
• clicks - heard when the thermostat activates or deactivates the compressor
• buzz - the sound of the compressor intensely working shortly after its activation
• crackles and clatter - coming from the cooling system, caused by expansion and shrin-
king of parts due to temperature differences before and after compressor activation
• rustle, gurgle, whistle - coming from the cooling system piping, caused by the coolant
owing inside.
Easily corrigible sources of noise:
• noise caused by the appliance positioned not level - adjust the position with the
adjustable turn-in front feet. You can also put some soft cloth under the back rollers,
especially, when the oor is tiled.
• rubbing the adjacent piece of furniture - move the refrigerator a bit.
• creaking of the drawers and shelves - take out and put back the drawer or shelf.
• sounds of clinking bottles - move the bottles apart.
