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. 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. 56 GB Ins tr uctions f or the User General information The official designation of the appliance is home refrigerator with a two-star frozen food compartment. According to this the appliance is suitable for storing frozen and deep-frozen food for limited time 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. Description of the appliance, main parts 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Lighting box Door shelf Gasket Bottle shelf Egg tray Air circulation Air grid Condenser Compressor 57 GB 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 -12 °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 - the compressor may operate continously. This does not cause damages to the appliance. The position of the drip tray is practical to be set according to the chart to operate the refrigerator properly: Type T T 160** If the ambient temperature is greater than +25 °C Position of drip tray Open (pos. 1) To set the open position the drip tray seen in the figure has to be pulled out to the level of the frozen food compartment door in the direction the arrow 1, in this way larger quantity of cold air can get into the fresh food compartment (summer working method). If the close position (winter working method) is required push the drip tray to the back of the cooling camber in the direction of the arrow 2. If you want to remove the drip tray (e.g. cleaning) raise the back part of the drip tray and it can be taken out. 58 GB Hints for storage 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. When placing the different kinds of food take into consideration the sketch in figure: Storing frozen foods, making ice and ice-cream. Confectionery, ready-cooked foods Foods in dishes Opened cans Milk, dairy products Fresh meat, cold cuts, sausages, etc. Fruits, vegetables, salads Cheese, butter Eggs Yoghurt, sour cream Small bottles, soft drinks Big bottles, drinks 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 two-star frozen food compartment The frozen food compartment is separated from the fresh food compartment by the drip tray. Depending on the position of the thermostatic control -12 °C or lower can be kept here. Smaller quantity of fresh food can be frozen in the twostar frozen food compartment but storing them for a longer time is not recommended. Do not allow warm products placed newly into the frozen food compartment to be in touch with already frozen foods. 59 GB 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 use the fresh food compartment Do not leave the door open longer than necessary and open it when it is needed. Put liquid into the appliance only in a closed dish. Put warm foods and liquid in the appliance only when they are at room temperature. Defrost the appliance when the ice in the frozen food compartment is more than 4-5 mm thick. Keep the condenser clean. 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. 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. 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. We recommend to defrost the frozen food compartment once a week and when the frost is more than 4-5 mm. Empty the frozen food compartment. Put the drip tray into closed position, and switch off the appliance by removing plug from the mains socket. Defrosting usually takes several hours, at the end you can remove the collected water from the drip tray by placing another tray under it then pull out the plastic cork at the bottom. When the thaw water came out, replace the cork and plug the appliance to the mains socket. 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°. 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 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. 60 GB 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. 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 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 the development of the adequate temperatures. 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 nocurrent. That is why you must not touch the electrical parts of the appliance before breaking the circuit. 61 GB Problem The appliance does not cool sufficiently Possible cause The thickness of the frost is greater than 5 mm on the cooling plate. Thermostatic control is set too low. Too many foods to be cooled were put in. Very warm foods were put in. Door is not shut properly. The drip tray is in the closed position. There is no inside cool air circulation. The thermostatic control is set too high. The drip tray is in the opened position. Plug is not connected to the mains socket properly. There is no voltage in the mains socket. Thermostatic control is in "0" position. The appliance is not supported properly. Solution Defrost the appliance. Set higher position. Put fewer foods to be cooled. Put foods max. at room temperature. Check if the door is shut. Set the opened position. Provide inside cool air circulation. Set lower position. Set the closed position. Check if the connection is proper. Check if there is voltage. Check setting of thermostatic control. Check if the appliance stands stable (all the four feet should be on the floor). The appliance cools too hard The appliance does not cool at all The appliance is noisy Inasmuch as the advice does not lead to result, call the nearest brand-mark service.

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 SN N ST 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, 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: 63 GB 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 righthanded 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. 64 GB Unscrew the screws fixing the upper door holder (2 pieces). After unscrewing turn over the pin in the door holder plate in the direction of the arrow. Fit and fix the door holder plate on the other side without displacing the door. Put back the plastic top on the fixing elements and pull it forward. Fix the top with the screws (2 pieces) on the back side of the box. Put over the handle and the plastic nails on the other side. Put the appliance to its place, set it level and plug it into the mains socket. In case you do not want to perform the procedures above, call the nearest brand-mark service. Technicians will accomplish the refitting expertly for charge. Electrical connection This refrigerator is designed to operate on a 230 V AC (~) 50 Hz supply.
