Handling th applianc
Putting it into us
Place the accessories into the refrigerator then plug to
the mains socket. To start cooling turn the control dial
from "0" clockwise according to the figure. In 0 position
the appliance is out of operation.
The next paragraph will give instructions for setting.
Controlling th t mp ratur , s tting
The thermostatic controller interrupts the operation of the
appliance automatically for more or less time depending
on the setting then restarts it assuring the required
temperature.
Turning the control button towards the bigger numbers
cooling becomes more and more intensive.
In the ice-making compartment can be reached -2 °C or
lower temperature if the knob of the thermostatic control
is set according to following table:
Ambi nt t mp ratur Th rmostat s tting
from 10 °C to 16 °C 1
from 16 °C to 25 °C 1-2
from 25 °C to 32 °C 2-3
from 32 °C to 3 °C 3-4
In this case the temperature starting automatically in the
fresh food compartment is about +5 °C or below.
The setting 5., 6. and 7. are suitable for quick chill of big
quantity goods.
The temperature coming about in the refrigerator is
effected by not only the position of the thermostatic
control but the ambient temperature, frequency of door
openings and the quantity of food put into it newly etc.
In the maximum i.e. 7 position - in case of
increased demand e.g. during heatwaves - without
disconnecting continuous operation can occur. This
does not cause damages to the appliance.
Hints for storag
When placing the different kinds of food take into
consideration the sketch below in figure:
1. Storing frozen foods, making ice and ice-cream.
2. Confectionery, ready-cooked foods
3. Foods in dishes
4. Opened cans
5. Milk, dairy products
6. Fresh meat, cold cuts, sausages, etc.
7. Fruits, vegetables, salads
. Cheese, butter
9. Eggs
10. Yoghurt, sour cream
11. Bottles, drinks
Storag tim and t mp ratur of foods
The enclosed chart at the end of the instruction books gives
information about storage time in 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 quick-frozen food only that way if they were
not dissolved even for a short time until placing them into the
ice-making compartment.
How to us th ic -making compartm nt
In the ice-making compartment -2 °C or below can be held
depending on setting of thermostatic control.
It is suitable for quickly refrigerating and storing foods in
small quantity and for making ice-cubes.
How to us th fr sh food compartm nt
For adequate cooling developing interior air circulation
is necessary. For this reason you are asked not to
cover the whole surface of the wire shelves with paper, trays,
etc.
Do not put hot food into th r frig rator. Allow it to
r ach room t mp ratur naturally. In this way th
unn c ssary frost building up can b avoid d.
Foods can tak ov r odours from ach oth r. So
it is ss ntial to put foods in clos d dish s or
wrap th m in c llophan , aluminium foil, gr as -proof
pap r or cling film b for placing th m into th
r frig rator. This way foods will k p th ir moistur .g.
v g tabl s will not dry out aft r som days.
How to mak ic cub s
To make ice cubes fill the enclosed ice cube tray with water
and put it to the ice-making compartment or on top of it.
Wetting the bottom of the tray and setting thermostatic
control knob to maximum stage can shorten preparing time.
After finishing do not forget to reset the thermostatic control
to the suitable stage.

Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under
running water then twist or hit it.
Som us ful information and advic
The shelf inside the appliance has a back-folding
part on the left side that makes storing large-sized
bottles possible.
Top doorshelves taken out of the appliance can be used
for serving foods (fruit, salads, etc.).
Two doorshelves put together can be used for storing
foods in or outside the appliance (e.g. on excursions).
Hints and id as
In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given about
how to use the appliance to reach maximum energy
saving and there is environmental information about the
appliance as well.
How to sav n rgy
Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place and near
anything that gives off heat.
Be sure that the condenser and the compressor are
well ventilated. Do not cover the sections where
ventilation is.

D frosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber in form
of frost and ice goes with the operation of the refrigerator.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces
cooling efficiency as the temperature increases, it needs
more energy, at a certain thickness it does not allow the
door of the ice-making compartment to open, possibly
the door can be broken.
W r comm nd to d frost th ic -making
compartm nt onc a w k and wh n th frost
is mor than 4-5 mm.
How to defrost it:
Break the circuit of the appliance or turn thermostatic
control knob into 0 position.
Empty the ice box. Wrap foods inside into newspaper
and put them on a cool place or into another appliance.
Leave the door of the appliance and ice-making
compartment open.
Defrosting usually takes several hours. When finished,
pour defrost water gathered out of the tray and wipe the
surfaces dry.
Apply voltage to the appliance or turn thermostatic
control knob to middle (4) position.
Put foods taken out back to their places.
R gular cl aning
It is recommended to wash the inside of the refrigerator
in 3-4 weeks time.
Household cleaner or soap must not be used.
After you made it no-current wash the appliance using
lukewarm water and wipe it.
Clean the magnet door rubber profile with clean water.
After cleaning plug the appliance to the mains socket.
It is practical to clean and defrost the ice-making
compartment at a time and when it is empty.
Dust and dirt collected on the back of the refrigerator,
condenser is recommended to be removed once or
twice a year.
Wh n th r frig rator is not in us
In case the appliance will not be used for a long time
follow these steps:
Break the circuit of the appliance.
Remove foods from the refrigerator.
Defrost and clean it as written before.
Leave the door open to avoid a build up of air inside.
Troubl shooting
During operation of the appliance some smaller but
annoying trouble can often occur, which does not require
calling a technician out. In the following chart information
is given about them to avoid unnecessary charges on
service.
We draw your attention that operation of appliance goes
with certain sounds (compressor- and circulating sound).
This is not trouble, but means normal operation.
We draw it to your attention again that the
appliance operates discontinuously, so the
stopping of compressor does not mean being no-current.
That is why you must not touch the electrical parts of the
appliance before breaking the circuit.
