Handling the appliance  
Putting it into use  
Place the accessories into the appliance then plug to  
the mains socket.  
The thermostat knob is on the light box in the  
refrigerator. You can switch the appliance on and set  
the temperature with it by turning the knob clockwise.  
The next paragraph will give instructions for setting.  
Controlling the temperature, setting  
The thermostat interrupts the operation of the  
appliance automatically for more or less time  
depending on the setting then restarts it assuring the  
required temperature.  
The closer it is set to maximum position the colder it  
will be. When the thermostat knob is set to a medium  
position (between minimum and maximum), in the  
freezing compartment -18 °C, in the fresh food  
compartment +5 °C can be reached. Setting it to a  
medium position is adequate for everyday use.  
The temperature in the refrigerator is affected by not  
only the position of the thermostat but the ambient  
temperature, frequency of door openings and the  
quantity of food put into it etc.  
In the maximum position - in case of  
increased demand e.g. during heatwaves -  
the compressor may operate continually. This  
does not cause damages to the appliance.  
How to use the refrigerator  
Sufficient air circulation is required for the  
proper operation of this appliance. For this  
reason you are asked not to cover the air circulation  
gaps behind the shelves (e.g. with tray etc.).  
Do not put hot food into the refrigerator.  
Allow it to reach room temperature naturally.  
In this way 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.  
6
 
Storing in the refrigerator  
Please refer to the figure on the right when placing  
different types of food into the refrigerator.  
1. Confectionery, ready-cooked foods, foods in  
dishes, fresh meat, cold cuts, drinks  
2. Milk, dairy products, foods in dishes  
3. Fruits, vegetables, salads  
4. Cheese, butter  
5. Eggs  
6. Yoghurt, sour cream  
7. Small bottles, soft drinks  
8. Big bottles, drinks  
Storage time and temperature of  
foods  
The storage time chart at the end of the instruction  
book gives information about storage time.  
The storage time can not be determined exactly in  
advance, as it depends on the freshness and handling  
of the cooled food, so this should be used as a guide  
only.  
If you do not want to use up deep-frozen foods bought  
immediately they can be stored for about 1 day (until  
dissolving) in the refrigerator.  
How to use the freezer  
Freezing  
The appliance can be used to freeze fresh food in the  
quantity specified on the rating plate. Freezing fresh  
food should always be done after proper preparing as  
follows.  
Set the thermostat knob to a medium position.  
Put the previously frozen food - or some of it - to  
another basket or baskets. Put the fresh food into the  
upper basket, leaving enough space for airflow. If  
there is some previously frozen food left in the upper  
basket, put this food into the back of the basket  
avoiding the contact between the fresh food and the  
already frozen food.  
Run the appliance this way for 24 hours.  
After 24 hours set the thermostat knob according to  
your choice or leave it in a medium position, which is  
generally appropriate for everyday cooling needs.  
Setting the thermostat knob to a higher (e.g.  
maximum) position is not recommended.  
Although doing so would make the freezing time  
shorter, on the other hand the temperature of the  
fridge compartment may go permanently below 0°C,  
what yields freezing the food and drinks stored there.  
Never freeze food in larger quantities than  
shown in the "Technical data" at the same  
time, otherwise food may not be thoroughly  
frozen.  
7
 
Do not make ice during freezing preferably,  
because making ice reduces freezing capacity.  
Storing in the freezer  
You can replace frozen products into the basket(s)  
after freezing has finished. This will allow you to make  
room in the freezing compartment for other food.  
Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods  
already stored.  
If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove the  
baskets except the lowest one from appliance and  
place food on the cooling surface.  
Do not forget to keep to the storage time given  
on the packaging of frozen products if you buy  
them frozen. To store home-frozen products see the  
storing instructions placed in the door of the freezer.  
Symbols signify the various foods, numbers mean  
maximum storing time given in months.  
It is safe to store quick-frozen, frozen foods only  
if they have not dissolved even for a short time  
before placing them into the freezer. If the deep-frozen  
food has already dissolved, refreezing is not  
recommended, it should be consumed as soon as  
possible.  
Removal of freezing baskets from the  
freezer  
The freezing baskets have a limit stop to prevent their  
accidental removal or falling out. To remove from the  
freezer, pull the basket towards yourself and, upon  
reaching the end point, remove the basket by tilting its  
front upwards.  
To put it back, slightly lift the front of the basket to  
insert it into the freezer. Once you are over the end  
points, push the baskets back in their position.  
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 position can shorten  
preparing time. After finishing do not forget to reset  
the thermostatic control to the suitable position.  
Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under  
running water then twist or hit it. If the ice tray freezes  
to the compartment, avoid using metal tools or knife to  
take it out as the cooling system can be damaged.

Some useful information and  
advice  
The variable shelves are worth paying attention to,  
which increases the usability of the fresh food  
compartment considerably. Rearranging the  
shelves is also possible when the door is open at an  
angle of 90°.  
After opening and closing the door of freezer  
vacuum will rise inside the appliance because of  
the low temperature. So wait 2-3 minutes after  
closing the door - if you want to open it again - while  
inner pressure equalises.  
Take care of operating the freezer at a position of  
thermostatic control so that the inside temperature  
can never go above -18 °C, since temperature  
higher than this can deteriorate frozen foods.  
It is practical to make sure of faultless operation of  
the appliance daily so as to notice possible failure  
in time and prevent deterioration of frozen foods.  
Hints and ideas  
In this section practical hints and ideas are given on  
how to use the appliance to reach maximum energy  
saving capabilities. Environmental information about  
the appliance is also provided.  
How to save energy  
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.  
Put warm foods into the appliance only when they  
are at room temperature.  
Keep the condenser clean.  
The appliance and environment  
This appliance does not contain gases which could  
damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant circuit  
or insulation materials. The appliance should 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 local  
council.  
The materials used on this appliance marked with the  
symbol  
are recyclable.

Maintenance  
Defrosting  
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chambers in  
form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the  
appliance.  
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it  
reduces cooling efficiency as the temperature  
increases in the cooling chambers, they need more  
energy.  
This appliance automatically defrosts the cooling  
surface of the refrigerator 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 - the  
temperature of the cooling surface goes above 0 °C  
due to interior heating load of the compartment, so  
defrosting occurs. When the surface temperature of  
the cooling surface has reached +3 - +4 °C the  
thermostatic control restarts operation of the system.  
Defrost water flows through the defrost water outlet  
leaded through the back into the evaporator tray  
maintained on the top of compressor and evaporates  
due to its warmth.  
Check and clean the defrost water outlet  
regularly - a label inside the appliance  
warns about for this. If it is blocked the water  
gathered can cause damage to the insulation of  
the appliance.  
Clean the defrost water outlet with the supplied pipe  
scraper that can be seen in the figure. The pipe  
scraper has to be stored in the outlet.  
Extra care should be taken when putting items,  
especially foods wrapped in paper, in the appliance.  
Blockages to the defrost water outlet often occurs  
when wrapped foods are placed in the back of the  
refrigerator, and the wrapping contacts the back plate  
of the fridge and sticks to it.  
In case of increased demand e.g. during  
heatwaves, the refrigerator temporarily happens  
to operate constantly - during this the automatic  
defrosting does not work.  
Remaining small ice and frost stains on back plate of  
the refrigerator after defrosting period is normal.  
When small frost and ice forms scrape off and remove  
frost and ice coating with the supplied plastic scraper.  
When the ice coating is so thick that it cannot be  
removed with the plastic scraper, the cooling gill have  
to be defrosted. Frequency of defrosting depends on  
usage (generally 2-3 times a year).  
Take the frozen foods out of the appliance, and put  
them into a basket lined with paper or cloth. Store  
them in a possibly cool place or replace them into  
another refrigerator.  
10  
 
Pull out the mains plug from the mains socket, so both  
parts of the appliance are out of operation.  
Open the doors of both parts of the appliance and  
clean the refrigerator according to 'Regular cleaning'.  
Maintain and clean the freezer as following:  
Wipe off the defrost water with a cloth or sponge in  
direction of the sides of the cooling plates. The water  
gathers in the outlet channel practically formed in the  
bottom of the appliance and can be removed  
according to the figure on the right.  
Put an adequately high bowl or dish under the outlet.  
After defrosting and leading the water out, wipe all  
surfaces thoroughly.  
Put the mains plug into the mains socket and replace  
the food.  
We recommend that you operate the appliance at the  
highest position of the thermostatic control for some  
hours so that it can reach the sufficient storing  
temperature as soon as possible.  
Regular cleaning  
We recommend that you wash the inside of the  
refrigerator every 3-4 weeks using lukewarm water then  
wipe it (it is practical to clean the inside of the freezer and  
defrost it at the same time).  
Household cleaner or soap must not be used.  
After disconnecting from the electricity supply wash the  
appliance with lukewarm water then wipe it. Clean the  
door gasket with clean water. After cleaning, wipe all  
surfaces dry and reconnect to the electricity supply.  
We also recommend that you remove the dust and dirt  
collected on the back of the refrigerator and the  
condenser and clean the evaporator tray on top of the  
compressor once or twice a year.  
When the refrigerator  
is not in use  
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,  
follow these steps:  
Disconnect from the electricity supply.  
Remove all food from the refrigerator.  
Defrost and clean thoroughly.  
Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of  
unpleasant smells.
