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, 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.
Do not put hot pot to the plastic parts.
Do not store flammable gas and liquid in the

appliance, because they may explode.
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.

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.

or the User

General information

The official designation of the appliance is home

refrigerator without frozen food compartment.

According to this the appliance is suitable for storing

cooled foods, but it is not suitable for storing frozen

and deep-frozen foods and making ice.

The appliance can meet the requirements of

standards between different temperature limits

according to the climate class.
The letter symbol for class of climate can be found

on the data label.

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.
Setting the knob of the thermostatic control to 3 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 - the

compressor may operate continually. 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. 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 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.
If you do not want to use up deep-frozen foods bought

immediately they can be stored for about 1 day (until

dissolving) in this type of refrigerator. If the deep-

frozen food has already dissolved, refreezing is not

recommended, it has to be used up as soon as

possible.

How to use the cooling compartment

Developing interior air circulation is necessary

for adequate cooling. 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 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.

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.

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

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 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.

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 and it needs more energy.
At this type of appliance defrosting cooling

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 cooling 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.
Occasionally check the defrost water outlet not to

be clogged up.
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 cooling 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 cooling compartment after defrosting period is not

abnormal.

Regular cleaning

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.
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.

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 14 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.

Problem

cool sufficiently

The appliance cools too

hard
The appliance does not

cool at all

The appliance is noisy

Possible cause

Thermostatic control is set too low.
Too many foods to be cooled were put in.

Transportation, unpacking

It is recommended to deliver the appliance in

original packaging, in vertical position

considering the protective warning on packaging.
After each transportation the appliance must not be

switched on for approx. 2 hours.
Unpack the appliance and check if there are damages

on it. Report possible damages immediately to the

place you bought it. In that case retain packaging.

Cleaning

Remove every adhesive tape, which ensure the

parts not to move in the appliance.
Wash the inside of the appliance using lukewarm

water and mild detergent. Use soft cloth.
After cleaning wipe out the inside of the appliance.

Placement

The ambient temperature has an effect on the energy

consumption and proper operation of the appliance.

When placing, take into consideration that it is

practical to operate the appliance between ambient

temperature limits according to the climate class that

is given in the chart below and can be found in the

data label.

Class of climate

Ambient temperature

+10 ... +32 °C

+16 ... +32 °C

+18 ... + 38 °C

If the ambient temperature goes below the lower data

the temperature of the cooling compartment can go

beyond the prescribed temperature.
If the ambient temperature goes beyond the upper

data this means longer operating time of the

compressor, breakdown in the automatic defrosting

increasing temperature in the cooling compartment or

increasing energy consumption.
When placing the appliance ensure that it stands level.

This can be achieved by two adjustable feet (1) at the

bottom in front. 1-1 piece of distance washer (2) are

accessories of the adjustable feet. If levelling the

appliance requires, these washers can be removed.
Do not stand the appliance on a sunny place or close

to a radiator or cooker.
If it is unavoidable because of furnishing and the

appliance has to be stood near a cooker take these

minimum distances into consideration:

In case of gas or electric cooker 3 cm must be left,

when it is less put a 0,5-1 cm non-flam insulation

between the two appliances.
In case of oil or coal-fired stove the distance must

be 30 cms since they give off more heat.

The refrigerator is designed to operate when it is

totally pushed to the wall.

When placing the refrigerator keep minimal

distances recommended in figure.

A :

placing it under a wall-cupboard

B :

placing it freely

Change of door opening direction

Should the setting-up place or handling demand it,

door-opening direction can be refitted from right-

handed to left-handed.
Following operations are to be done on the basis of

figures and explanations:

Pull out the plug from the mains socket.
Tilt back the appliance carefully being careful so

that the compressor can not touch the floor. It is

recommended to ask another person for help, who

can keep the appliance at this position safely.
Unscrew the adjustable feet situated on both sides

(2 pieces), in addition the screws fixing the lower

door holders (3 pieces) respectively the screw on

the other side.
Put over the pin in the lower door holding plate in

the direction of the arrow.
Fix the plate on the other side leaving the position

of the door unchanged.
Then screw in the one screw in the place set free

on the other side as well as the adjustable feet

(2 pieces) and set up the box.
For refitting the upper door holder take out the

screws (2 pieces) fixing the plastic top on the back

of the box.
Push back the top and lift it from the fixing

elements.
Unscrew the screws fixing the upper door holder

(2 pieces).
