TEMPERATURE REGULATION
The temperature in the refrigerator compartment is controlled using the thermostat knob 1
by turning it to one side or the other. The temperature indication in digits is shown beside
the thermostat knob 1. The number “0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7”do not mean a specific
temperatures.
The temperature is regulated on a scale of seven digits.
0= Compressor is switched off. WARNING! Electric current is not switched off.
1= highest temperature (lowest cooling)
7= lowest temperature (highest cooling)
The temperature in the refrigerator compartment can vary due to the ambient
temperature, the amount of food, and the frequent opening of the refrigerator door.
If the room is cool, the appliance cools less. The temperature in the appliance may
therefore rise. Use the thermostat wheel to set a lower temperature.
STORAGE AND FREEZING OF FOODSTUFFS
Temperature zones in the refrigerator:
Due to the natural air circulation, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator
compartment.
1) The upper part of the refrigerator compartment and the door - the warmest area: store
tropical fruits, cans, drinks, eggs, sauces, canned products, butter, jam.
2) The middle part of the refrigerator compartment - cold zone: store cheese, milk, dairy
products, delicacies, yogurt.
3) The lower part of the refrigerator compartment - the coldest area: keep cold snacks,
desserts, meat and fish, cheesecake, fresh pasta, sour cream, pesto / salsa sauce,
home-cooked food, dough, pudding and cream cheese.
4) Fruit and vegetable drawer at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment: Store
vegetables and fruits (except tropical fruits).
To avoid food contamination, follow the instructions below:
•Prolonged opening of the door can significantly increase the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance: only open the door for the time required to place /
remove food.
•Regularly clean surfaces that may come into contact with food and accessible drainage
systems.
•Store fresh meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator so that they do not
come into contact with or drip on other food.
•Do not put unpackaged food in the refrigerator.
•If the appliance is left empty for a long time, switch it off, defrost, clean, dry and leave
the door open to prevent mold from forming inside the appliance.
•Strictly adhere to the expiration date for foods as stated by the manufacturer on the
product packaging.

DEFROSTING, CLEANING AND CARE
THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT defrosts automatically. Drops of ice that form on the
back wall of the refrigerator compartment thaw during the time the compressor is not working
and the thaw water runs down the thaw water runoff channel to the tray on top of the
compressor (Fig. 1), where it evaporates.
REGULARLY CLEAN THE APPLIANCE.
Note: before cleaning the cooling device and its rear compartment part, the device
must be disconnected from the mains by unplugging.
•Protect the appliance inner surfaces and plastic parts from fats, acids and sauces. In
case of accidental spills –immediately clean with warm soapy water or dishwashing
detergent. Wipe dry.
•Regularly clean the hermetic gaskets of the doors. Wipe dry.
•At least once a year clean dust away from the back part of the appliance body and the
compressor. A soft brush, electrostatic cloth or vacuum cleaner may
be used for cleaning.
•Regularly clean the thaw water channel space in the refrigerator
with a special cleaner for that purpose (see fig.).
•DO NOT use detergents containing abrasive particles, acid, alcohol
or benzene for cleaning the appliance inner and outer surfaces. DO
NOT use for cleaning cloths or sponges that have coarse surfaces
intended for scrubbing.
•If the appliance is to be left switched off for an extended period,
leave its doors open.
CHANGING THE OPENING DIRECTION OF THE DOORS

OPERATION PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS
•The appliance is plugged in to the mains but it does not work. Check that your
house electricity supply installations are in order. Check that the plug is correctly
inserted into the electricity supply socket.
•The noise has become louder. Check that the appliance is standing stable, on a level
place. To make it level, regulate the front feet. Check if the appliance is not touching any
furniture, and that no part of the refrigeration system at the back part of the appliance
body is touching the wall. Pull the appliance away from any furniture or walls. Check
that the cause of increased noise isn’t due to bottles, cans or dishes in the appliance that
might be touching each other.

10
•Water has appeared at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment. Check
whether a thaw water channel space isn’t blocked. Clean the thaw water channel space
with a cleaner intended for that purpose.
•Water has appeared on the tempered glass shelves. Food items or dishes in the
refrigeration compartment are touching the back wall of the compartment. Do not let
food items or dishes touch the back wall.
•Moisture dripping from under the glass shelves. If you placed many containers
with liquids on the shelf, moisture can condense and drip onto the shelf below. Move
some containers with liquids onto other shelves.
•Water has appeared under the appliance. The thaw water collection tray has
slipped off the compressor. Place the tray on top of the compressor.
•When the appliance door is opened, the rubber sealing gasket pulls out. The
gasket is smeared with sticky foodstuffs (fat, syrup). Clean the sealing gasket and the
groove for it with warm water containing soap or dishwashing detergent and wipe dry.
Put the rubber sealing gasket back into the place
•High temperature in appliance, the compressor operation pauses are short.
Ascertain whether the appliance doors are shutting tightly, whether the door wasn’t kept
open longer than necessary when taking out or putting in foodstuffs or whether a large
amount of warm food was placed in the appliance.
•The top of the appliance has condensation on it. The ambient relative air humidity
is above 70 %. Ventilate the room where the appliance stands and if possible remove
the cause of the humidity.
Remarks on the appliance operating noise. As the appliance operates and goes
through the freezing cycle, various noises will be emitted. This is normal and is not a sign
of any malfunction. As the refrigerant circulates around the refrigeration system, it causes
sounds like murmuring, bubbling, or rustling. Louder sounds like popping or clicking may
be heard for a short time as the refrigerator’s compressor switches on.
