Handling the appliance
Putting it into use
Place the accessories into the refrigerator then pl g to
the mains socket. To start cooling t rn the control dial
on the right-hand side of the fresh food compartment
from 0 clockwise according to the fig re. In 0
position the appliance is o t of operation.
The next paragraph will give instr ctions for setting.
Controlling the temperature, setting
The thermostatic controller interr pts the operation of
the appliance a tomatically for more or less time
depending on the setting then restarts it ass ring the
req ired temperat re.
T rning the control b tton towards the bigger n mbers
cooling becomes more and more intensive.
In the frozen food compartment -18 °C or lower
temperat re can be reached if the knob of the
thermostatic control is set to 3. In this case the
temperat re starting a tomatically in the fresh food
compartment is abo t +5 °C or below. The 3
position generally meets the req irements of everyday
cooling.
The temperat re coming abo t in the refrigerator is
effected by not only the position of the thermostatic
control b t the ambient temperat re, freq ency of
door openings and the q antity of food p t into it
newly, etc.
In the maxim m i.e. 5 position - in case of
increased demand e.g. d ring heatwaves -
witho t disconnecting contin o s operation can
occ r. This does not ca se damages to the appliance.
Hints for storage
When placing the different kinds of food take into
consideration the sketch below in fig re:
1. Storing frozen foods, making ice and ice-cream.

Storage time and temperature of
foods
The enclosed charts at the end of the ser's
instr ctions give information abo t 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 q ick-frozen food only that way if they
were not dissolved even for a short time ntil placing
them into the frozen food compartment.
How to use the four-star frozen food
compartment
Depending on the position of the thermostatic control
-18 °C or lower can be kept here.
At this temperat re for a certain time deep-frozen
prod cts available on the market can be stored. It is
also s itable for freezing and storing smaller q antity
of fresh food.
In 24 ho rs' time approximately 2 kgs of food can be
frozen.
Pack the foods tightly in plastic or al mini m foil, cool
them in the fresh food compartment and then place to
the frozen food compartment.
It is recommended to write the date on it when it was
placed in.
Yo can p t the next prod ct to be frozen into the
frozen food compartment if the previo s one has
already been frozen thoro ghly.
How to use the fresh food
compartment
For adeq ate cooling developing interior air
circ lation is necessary. For this reason yo are
asked not to cover the whole s rface 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
How to make ice cubes
To make ice c bes fill the enclosed ice c be tray
with water and p t it to the frozen food
compartment. Wetting the bottom of the tray and
setting thermostatic control knob to maxim m
stage can shorten preparing time. After finishing do
not forget to reset the thermostatic control to the
s itable stage.
Ready ice c bes can be taken o t of the tray nder
r nning water then twist or hit it.
Some useful information and
advice
The variable shelves are worth paying
attention to, which increases the sef lness
of the fresh food compartment considerably.
Rearranging the shelves is also possible when the
door is open at an angle of 90°.
The inside config ration of the door makes
rearranging the door shelves as req ired possible.
Hints and ideas
In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given
abo t how to se the appliance to reach maxim m
energy saving and there is environmental
information abo t the appliance as well.
How to save energy
The colder the ambient temperat re of the
appliance is the less energy it ses.
Avoid p tting the appliance in a s nny place and
near anything that gives off heat.
Be s re that the condenser and the compressor
are well ventilated. Do not cover the sections
where ventilation is.
Wrap prod cts in tightly closing dishes or cling
film to avoid b ilding p nnecessary frost.
Do not leave the door open longer than
necessary and avoid nnecessary openings.

The appliance and environment
This appliance does not contain gasses which co ld
damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant circ it
or ins lation materials. The appliance shall not be
discarded together with the rban ref se and r bbish.
Avoid damaging the cooling nit, especially at the rear
near the heat exchanger. Information on yo r local
disposal sites may be obtained from yo r m nicipal
a thorities.
The materials sed on this appliance marked with the
sympol are recyclable.
Maintenance
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moist re of cooling chamber in
form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the
refrigerator.
Thick frost and ice has an ins lating effect, so it
red ces cooling efficiency as the temperat re
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 fresh food
compartment is a tomatic witho t any external
intervention.
The thermostatic control interr pts the operation of
compressor at reg lar intervals for more or less time -
d ring this cooling is interr pted - temperat re of the
fresh food compartment increases and defrosting
occ rs. After defrosting the thermostatic control
restarts operation of the system.
Melting water flows thro gh defrost water o tlet into
the evaporative tray maintained on the top of
compressor and evaporates d e to warmth of it.
Check and clean the outlet of melting
water coming during defrosting regularly If
it is clogged the melting water gathered can
cause earlier failure as it can go to the insulating
of the appliance
Clean the melting water o tlet with the s pplied pipe
scraper that can be seen in the fig re. The pipe
scraper has to be stored in the o tlet.
GB
When closing the door of the frozen food
compartment take care to move its bolt in the
direction of the arrow to fit it to the lock properly.
P t foods into the appliance only in a closed dish.
P t warm foods into the appliance only when they
are at room temperat re.
Keep the condenser clean at the back of the
appliance.

60
Occasionally check defrost water o tlet not to be
clogged p.
The most typical case of clogging p in the defrost
water o tlet when yo p t food wrapped in some
paper into the appliance and this paper contacts back
plate of fresh food compartment and freezes to it. If
yo remove the food right at this moment the paper
will tear and it can ca se clogging p in the o tlet by
getting into it. So yo are asked to be caref l -
beca se of the above - when placing foods wrapped
in paper into the appliance.
In case of increased demand e.g. d ring
heatwaves, the refrigerator temporarily happens
to operate constantly. D ring this the a tomatic
defrosting is ineffective.
Remaining small ice and frost stains on back plate of
the fresh food compartment after defrosting period is
not abnormal.
The frozen food compartment can not be eq ipped
with a tomatic defrosting set since the deep-frozen
and frozen foods do not end re melting temperat re.
So the enclosed plastic scraper is for scraping off and
removing frost and ice coating which possibly occ rs
in the frozen food compartment and on the sealing of
the door.
The tray in fig re is not a piece of accessories to the
appliance!
When ice coating is so thick that it can not be removed
with the plastic scraper, the frozen food compartment
has to be defrosted (generally 2-3 times a year).
Take the foods o t of the frozen and fresh food
compartment, wrap them into some layers of paper or
cloth. P t them to a possible cool place while
defrosting.
Break the circ it of the appliance and leave the doors
of frozen and fresh food compartment open.
Contin o sly blot off the defrosting water by a soft
cloth or sponge.
After defrosting wipe the s rfaces, apply voltage to the
appliance and p t the foods back to their places.
It is recommended to operate the appliance at the
highest position of the thermostatic control so that it
can reach the proper storing temperat re as soon as
possible.
Regular cleaning
It is recommended to wash the inside of the
refrigerator in 3-4 weeks time.
Ho sehold cleaner or soap m st not be sed.
After yo made it no-c rrent wash the appliance sing
l kewarm water and wipe it.
Clean the magnet door r bber profile with clean water.
GB

61
When the refrigerator is not in use
In case the appliance will not be sed for a long time
follow these steps:
Break the circ it of the appliance.
Remove foods from the refrigerator.
Defrost and clean it as written before.
Leave the door open to avoid a b ild p of air inside.
Trouble shooting
How to change the bulb
Sho ld the light fail to work yo can change it as
below:
Break the circ it of the appliance.
Unscrew the plate screw fixing the lamp cover, then
take the lamp cover off in the direction of arrow and
the b lb can be changed. (Type of the b lb: Mignon
322, 230 V, 15 W, E 14 thread)
After changing b lb replace the lamp cover, screw the
plate screw and apply voltage to the appliance.
The lack of light does not infl ence operation of the
refrigerator.
If something does not work
D ring operation of the appliance some smaller b t
annoying tro ble can often occ r, which does not
req ire calling a technician o t. In the following chart
information is given abo t them to avoid nnecessary
charges on service.
We draw yo r attention that operation of appliance goes
with certain so nds (compressor- and circ lating
so nd). This is not tro ble, b t means normal
operation.
We draw it to yo r attention again that the
appliance operates discontin o sly, so the
stopping of compressor does not mean being no-
c rrent. That is why yo m st not to ch the electrical
parts of the appliance before breaking the circ it.
After cleaning pl g 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.
D st and dirt collected on the back of the refrigerator,
condenser is recommended to be removed and clean
the evaporative tray on top of the compressor once or
twice a year.
