Positioning
•Place the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room.
WARNING! The appliance should not be operated in an unheated room or
porch. Place the appliance away from heat sources such as kitchen
stove/oven, radiators, or direct sunlight.
WARNING! The appliance must not touch any pipes for heating, gas or
water supply or any other electrical devices.
•Do not cover the ventilation holes at the top of the appliance –it must be a good air
circulation around the appliance. There should be a gap of at least 10 cm between the top
of the appliance body and any furniture that may be above it. If this requirement is not
followed, the appliance consumes more electrical energy and its compressor may
overheat.
•If the appliance is placed in a corner, a gap of at least 3 cm must be left between the
appliance body and the wall. Overall space required for use of the refrigerator.
Overall dimensions for installation of the refrigerator - see page 1, fig. 2.
•The appliance must stand on a level surface and must not touch the wall. If necessary,
regulate the height of the appliance by adjusting the levelling feet: by turning them
clockwise –the front of the appliance rises, by turning them counter clockwise –it comes
down. If the appliance is tilted slightly backward –the doors will close by themselves.
TEMPERATURE REGULATION
The temperature in the refrigerator compartment is controlled using the thermostat knob 2(see
page 1, fig. 1) by turning it to one side or the other. The temperature indication in digits is shown
beside the thermostat knob.
The temperature is regulated on the scale of five digits.
0= Compressor is switched off WARNING! Electric current is not switched off.
1= highest temperature (lowest cooling)
5= lowest temperature (highest cooling)
If foodstuffs are too cold, set the thermostat knob to 1, 2or 3. If foodstuffs are being chilled not
sufficiently, set the thermostat knob to 4or 5. Please set the desired temperature in the appliance
according to your own requirements.
THE TEMPERATURE IN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT MAY VARY DEPENDING ON
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, THE AMOUNT OF FOODSTUFFS, THE TEMPERATURE OF THE
FOODSTUFFS AND HOW OFTEN THE APPLIANCE DOORS ARE OPENED AND CLOSED.
IF A ROOM IS COOL, THE APPLIANCE COOLS LESS. THE TEMPERATURE IN THE
APPLIANCE MAY THEREFORE RISE. Use the thermostat wheel to set a lower temperature.
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,
where it evaporates.
REGULARLY CLEAN THE APPLIANCE.
Remember that when cleaning the appliance you must disconnect the appliance
from the electrical energy supply socket by pulling the plug out of the electricity
outlet.
