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. 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. 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. 4 Ins tr uctions f 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.

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 1. When placing the different kinds of food take into consideration the sketch below in figure: 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 6 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 deepfrozen food has already dissolved, refreezing is not recommended, it has to be used up as soon as possible. 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. 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. 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. How to use the cooling compartment 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 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 def ...
