INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Model No.: MCBR980W
zBefore use, please read this manual carefully.

1
Before Putting Into Use
zBefore connecting the appliance to the power supply, let it stand for about 2 hours, which will
reduce a possibility of malfunctions in the cooling system due to transport handling.
zClean the appliance, and be thorough, especially in the interior (See “HOW TO CLEAN”).
zIn case the interior accessories are not correctly placed, rearrange them as described in
chapter “NAME OF THE PARTS”.
Instructions for Use
These instructions for use are intended for the user. They describe the appliance and its correct
and safe use. They were prepared for various types/models of refrigerators therefore you may find
in it description of some functions and accessories that your appliance does not have.
Tips for Energy Savings
zTry not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you
open the door, mind to close it as soon as possible.
zEvery now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation
around the appliance).
zSet thermostat from higher to lower settings as soon as possible (depends on how loaded
the appliance is ambient temperature etc).
zBefore loading the appliance with packages of fresh foods, make sure they are cooled to
ambient temperature.
zIce and frost layer increase energy consumption, so defrost the appliance as soon as the
layer is 1/8” thick.

Important
DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:
zTake off the doors.
zLeave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
zThe appliance must be correctly connected to the power supply. (See: “HOW TO INSTALL”).
zDo not touch the cooled surfaces while the appliance operates, especially not with wet hands,
because the skin may stick to the cold surfaces.
zDo not freeze bottles containing liquid, especially soft drinks, such as mineral water,
sparkling wine, beer, cola etc., because liquid expands during freezing and the glass bottle is
very likely to blow up.
zDo not eat frozen food (bread, fruit, vegetables), because you can get frostbites.
zIf the food has strange smell or color, throw it away, because it is very likely that it is spoiled
and therefore dangerous to eat.
zDisconnect the appliance from the power supply before repairing it (only a qualified
technician should repair it), before cleaning.
zDo not defrost the appliance with other electric devices (hair dryer etc.) and never scrape the
ice or frost layer with sharp tools.
zThe rating plate is inside the appliance or outside on the rear wall.

HOW TO OPERATE
Starting Your New Refrigerator
1. Clean the refrigerator thoroughly. Wipe the outside with a soft dry cloth, the interior with a
clean moist cloth.
2. Insert the power supply cord into the socket.
3. Turn the thermostat dial to “7”. Close the door and let the refrigerator operate for 15-20
minutes.
Temperature Control
To control the internal temperature, adjust the
thermostat dial. “1” is the warmest setting. “7”
is the coldest.
The Dial may be set any place on the scale. It
does not have to be set exactly on a number.
To make ice cubes in the freezer
compartment, adjust the thermostat to the
coldest setting.
Note: Wait 3-5 minutes before restarting if you unplug the refrigerator. The unit may fail to
operate properly if restarted too quickly.
How To Defrost
Defrost the refrigerator when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about 1/8” thick.
To defrost, simply push the defrost button. Be sure to keep the drain pan in place. Defrosting
usually takes a few hours. The refrigerator will restart automatically when defrosting ends. Empty
water from the drain pan after defrosting.
Never use a knife or other metal instrument to scrape ice/frost from the evaporator.

HOW TO CLEAN
Cleaners: Never use harsh, abrasive cleaners, heavy-duty cleaners, or solvents on any surface.
Exterior: Wipe with damp, sudsy cloth, rinse and dry. For stubborn stains and for periodic
waxing, use silicon wax.
Freezer: When refrigerator needs defrosting push defrost button. Do not use sharp instruments
to scrap off ice/frost.
Refrigeration Section: Wash shelves and other removable parts in warm sudsy water, rinse and
dry. Wash interior with baking soda solution (3 tablespoons to I liter of water) or warm
sudsy water, rinse and dry.
Magnetic Door Seals: Wash with warm sudsy water.
The Finishing Touch: Replace all parts and return thermostat dial to desired setting.
HOW TO INSTALL
zInstall refrigerator in a convenient location
away from extreme heat and cold. Allow
sufficient clearance between the
refrigerator and side wall so the door will
open without obstruction. Refrigerator is
not designed for recessed installation.
zSelect a space with strong level floor.
zAllow 5 inches of space between the
refrigerator’s side and the wall.
POWER CORD REPLACEMENT

WHAT TO DO …
When the fridge is not in use for a prolonged period:
zRemove the power plug from the power point.
zRemove all contents from the fridge.
zDry the interior and leave the door open for a few days.
When you wish to move the fridge:
zSecure all movable parts and contents. (Package them separately if necessary.)
zTransport the fridge only in an upright position. In any other position you may damage the
compressor.
Before calling service, please follow the checklist below.
This may save you an expensive service call.
If the refrigerator seems too warm inside:
zCheck that the door has not been opened too frequently or for long.
zCheck that the interior circulation is not obstructed by having too many goods stored. (The
fridge is overloaded)
zDid you store anything hot, without first cooling it to room temperature?
zIs there sufficient clearance around all sides and above the fridge?
If the fridge starts making any unusual noises:
zIs it wobbling? Re-level it and check if it now operates normally.
zHave any objects fallen behind the fridge? If so, remove them and check if operation is now
normal.
zAre any containers inside the fridge vibrating or resonating? If so, rearrange them then check
to see if operation has returned to normal.
WARNING – improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If it is
necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked
rating of the extension cord should be AC 115-120V, 10A, or more. If a grounding adapter is
used, make sure the receptacle box is fully grounded.
