Precautions for child safety
Do not allow children to play with the packaging
of the appliance. Plastic foil can cause
suffocation.
Adults must handle the appliance. Do not allow
children to play with it or its controlling parts.
If you are discarding the appliance pull the plug
out of the socket, cut the connection cable (as
close to the appliance as you can) and remove
the door to prevent playing children to suffer
electric shock or to close themselves into it.
Safety precautions for
installation
Put the appliance to the wall to avoid touching or
catching warm parts (compressor, condenser)
to prevent possible burn.
When moving the appliance take care of the plug
not to be in the socket.
When placing the appliance take care not to
stand it on the power cord.
Adequate air circulation should be around the
appliance, lacking this leads to overheating. To
achieve sufficient ventilation follow the
instructions relevant to installation.
For the safety of life and property keep
the precautions of these user's
instructions as the manufacturer is not
responsible for damages caused by omission
General safety precautions
Keep these instructions and they should remain at
the appliance when moving away or changing
owner.
This appliance is designed for storing food,
domestic use and being used according to these
instructions only.
Specialised companies that are qualified to do
so by the manufacturer must carry out service
and repairs including repairing and changing
the power cord Accessory parts supplied by
them should be used only for repairing. Otherwise
the appliance can be damaged or can cause other
damage or injury.
The appliance is out of circuit only in that case if the
plug is removed from the socket. Before cleaning
and maintenance always unplug it (do not get it by
the cable). If the socket is difficult to reach, switch
off the appliance by cutting off the current.
Power cord must not be lengthened.
Without the lamp cover of interior lighting you must
not operate the appliance.
When cleaning, defrosting, taking out frozen food
or ice tray do not use sharp, pointed or hard
devices, as they can cause damage to the
appliance.
Be careful not to allow liquids to the temperature
control and lighting box.
Ice and ice-cream can cause hurt if they are eaten
immediately after removal from the frozen food
compartment.
After dissolving frozen food must not be refrozen, it
must be used up as soon as possible.
Store pre-packed frozen food in accordance with
the frozen food manufacturer's instructions.
You must not make defrosting faster with any
electric heating appliance or chemicals.
Do not put hot pot to the plastic parts.
Do not store flammable gas and liquid in the
appliance, because they may explode.
Do not store carbonated drinks, bottled drinks and
bottled fruits in the frozen food compartment.
Check and clean the outlet of melting water coming
during defrosting regularly - a label inside the
appliance warns you for this. If it is clogged the
melting water gathered can cause earlier failure.

Handling the appliance
Putting it into use
Place the accessories into the refrigerator then plug to
the mains socket. To start cooling turn the control dial
on the right-hand side of the fresh food compartment
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 the temperature, setting
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 frozen food compartment -18 °C or lower
temperature can be reached if the knob of the
thermostatic control is set to 3. In this case the
temperature starting automatically in the fresh food
compartment is about +5 °C or below. The 3
position generally meets the requirements of everyday
cooling.
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. 5 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 storage
When placing the different kinds of food take into
consideration the sketch below in figure:
1. Storing frozen foods, making ice and ice-cream.

Storage time and temperature of
foods
The enclosed charts at the end of the user's
instructions give information about 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 quick-frozen food only that way if they
were not dissolved even for a short time until 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 temperature for a certain time deep-frozen
products available on the market can be stored. It is
also suitable for freezing and storing smaller quantity
of fresh food.
In 2 hours' time approximately 2 kgs of food can be
frozen.
Pack the foods tightly in plastic or aluminium 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.
You can put the next product to be frozen into the
frozen food compartment if the previous one has
already been frozen thoroughly.
How to use the fresh food
compartment
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 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 cubes fill the enclosed ice cube tray
with water and put it to the frozen food
compartment. 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.
Some useful information and
advice
The variable shelves are worth paying
attention to, which increases the usefulness
of the fresh food compartment considerably.
Rearranging the shelves is also possible when the
door is open at an angle of 90°.
The inside configuration of the door makes
rearranging the door shelves as required possible.
Hints and ideas
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 save energy
The colder the ambient temperature of the
appliance is the less energy it uses.
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.
Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling
film to avoid building up unnecessary frost.
Do not leave the door open longer than
necessary and avoid unnecessary openings.

The appliance and environment
This appliance does not contain gasses which could
damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant circuit
or insulation materials. The appliance shall not be
discarded together with the urban refuse and rubbish.
Avoid damaging the cooling unit, especially at the rear
near the heat exchanger. Information on your local
disposal sites may be obtained from your municipal
authorities.
The materials used on this appliance marked with the
sympol are recyclable.
Maintenance
Defrosting
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 frozen food
compartment to open, possibly the door can be
broken.
At this type of appliance defrosting fresh food
compartment is automatic without any external
intervention.
The thermostatic control interrupts the operation of
compressor at regular intervals for more or less time -
during this cooling is interrupted - temperature of the
fresh food compartment increases and defrosting
occurs. After defrosting the thermostatic control
restarts operation of the system.
Melting water flows through defrost water outlet into
the evaporative tray maintained on the top of
compressor and evaporates due 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 outlet with the supplied pipe
scraper that can be seen in the figure. The pipe
scraper has to be stored in the outlet.
Occasionally check defrost water outlet not to be
clogged up.
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.
Put foods into the appliance only in a closed dish.
Put warm foods into the appliance only when they
are at room temperature.
Keep the condenser clean at the back of the
appliance.

63
The most typical case of clogging up in the defrost
water outlet when you put food wrapped in some
paper into the appliance and this paper contacts back
plate of fresh food compartment and freezes to it. If
you remove the food right at this moment the paper
will tear and it can cause clogging up in the outlet by
getting into it. So you are asked to be careful -
because of the above - when placing foods wrapped
in paper into the appliance.
In case of increased demand e.g. during
heatwaves, the refrigerator temporarily happens
to operate constantly. During this the automatic
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 equipped
with automatic defrosting set since the deep-frozen
and frozen foods do not endure melting temperature.
So the enclosed plastic scraper is for scraping off and
removing frost and ice coating which possibly occurs
in the frozen food compartment and on the sealing of
the door.
The tray in figure 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 out of the frozen and fresh food
compartment, wrap them into some layers of paper or
cloth. Put them to a possible cool place while
defrosting.
Break the circuit of the appliance and leave the doors
of frozen and fresh food compartment open.
Continuously blot off the defrosting water by a soft
cloth or sponge.
After defrosting wipe the surfaces, apply voltage to the
appliance and put 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 temperature as soon as
possible.
Regular cleaning
It is recommended to wash the inside of the
refrigerator in 3- 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.

When the refrigerator is not in use
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.
Trouble shooting
How to change the bulb
Should the light fail to work you can change it as
below:
Break the circuit of the appliance.
Unscrew the plate screw fixing the lamp cover, then
take the lamp cover off in the direction of arrow and
the bulb can be changed. (Type of the bulb: Mignon
322, 230 V, 15 W, E 1 thread)
After changing bulb replace the lamp cover, screw the
plate screw and apply voltage to the appliance.
The lack of light does not influence operation of the
refrigerator.
If something does not work
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.
It is practical to clean and defrost the frozen food
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 and clean
the evaporative tray on top of the compressor once or
twice a year.
