Instructions for Use Refrigerator Thank you for your trust and for buying this appliance. We hope it will successfully serve the purpose for many years. Refrigerator is for domestic use only and is intended for storing fresh foods at the temperature higher than 0°C.
Before Putting Into Use • Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, leave it stand for about 2 hours, which will reduce a possibility of malfunctions in the cooling system due to transport handling. • Clean the appliance, and be thorough, especially in the interior (See Cleaning and Maintenance). • In case the interior accessories are not correctly placed, rearrange them as described in chapter "Description of the Appliance".
• The condenser on the rear wall should be always clean, free of dust or any impurities. • Always consider instructions stated in sections Positioning and Energy Saving Tips, otherwise the energy consumption is substantially higher. Important • If you have bought this appliance to replace an old one equipped with a lock that cannot be opened from inside (lock, bolt), make sure that the lock is broken. This will make it impossible for children to lock themselves inside the appliance and suffocate.
Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance • When your appliance finally wears out, dispose it of. If the appliance has a lock, break it, in order to prevent eventual accidents (danger of children get locked inside the appliance). • The refrigerating system of the appliance is filled with refrigerant and insulating substances which should be separately treated and processed.

the wall. Therefore turn spacers correspondingly and fix them to the appliance (Fig. 2). Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Connection to Power Supply Connect the appliance with the cable and plug to the power supply socket outlet with a ground terminal (safety socket). Required nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the rating plate. The connection to the mains supply and earthing have to be made according to current standards and regulations. The appliance resists temporary voltage tolerance up to -15 to +10 %.
Description of the Appliance Shelf (1) (the number of shelves depends on model) Shelf can be optionally placed on the guides inside the appliance. It is protected against pulling out. If you want to remove it, slightly lift up the back part and pull it out. Quickly perishable food should be stored on the back i.e. the coldest part of the shelves. Defrost Water Outlet (2) The interior of the refrigerator is cooled with cooling plate incorporated in the rear wall.
Fruit and Vegetable Container (3) The container is on the bottom of the appliance under the glass shelf. It provides adequate humidity which has favourable effect on fruit and vegetables stored in it (less dehydration). Door Liner The door liner consists of various shelves or holders used for storing eggs, cheese, butter and yogurt as well as other smaller packages, tubes, cans etc. The lower shelf is used for storing bottles.
Operation Control The appliance is controlled with thermostat knob, situated in the right upper part inside the appliance. Turn the knob from STOP (0) position towards 7 and backwards. Temperature Selection • Higher settings on the knob (towards 7) mean lower temperatures (colder) in all compartments of the appliance. Temperature in the interior of the appliance may even drop below 0°C. Higher settings should be used only in case higher temperature is recommended or required.
Use Storing Fresh Foods Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct temperature and taking into account hygienic precautions will substantially influence the quality of the food stored. • Foods to be stored in the refrigerator should be properly packed as to prevent mixing various moisture degrees and odors (in polyethylene bags or sheet, aluminium foil, wax paper, or stored in covered containers or bottles).

Maintenance and Cleaning Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice depositing on the inner back wall is defrosted automatically. Ice is depositing on the inner back wall during the compressor operation; later on, when the compressor is not operating ice is defrosting and water drops collect and drain through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor, from where it evaporates.
Changing the Direction of Opening the Door If you find the direction of opening the door on your appliance inconvenient, you can change it. Holes on the opposite side have already been prepared in the factory. • Unscrew the kick-plate and remove it by pushing downwards. • Unscrew the lower hinge and take off the door together with the upper hinge washer. • Unscrew the upper hinge fastener and fix it on the opposite side of the appliance.

Trouble-Shooting Guide During the service, you can come across some troubles that in most cases result from improper handling of the appliance and can easy be eliminated. The Appliance Fails to Operate After Connecting to the Mains Supply • Check the supply in the outlet socket and make sure the appliance is switched on (thermostat knob in operating position). Continuous Operation of the Cooling System • The door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too long.
Noise Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is enabled by the cooling system with compressor, which produces noise. How noisy the appliance is depends on where it is placed, how it is used and how old the appliance is. • During the operation of the compressor the noise of liquid is heard and when the compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal condition and it has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance.
