Instructions for Use Refrigerator - Freezer Thank you for your trust and for buying this appliance. We hope it will successfully serve the purpose for many years. Refrigerator with freezer is for domestic use only. The lower part of the appliance is refrigerator and is used for storing fresh foods at the temperature of 0°C and higher. The upper part is freezer and is used for freezing fresh foods and storing frozen foods for longer periods of time (up to one year, depending on the kind of foods you store).
Before Putting Into Use • Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, place it on the location where it will later on be installed and leave it 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".
• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so do clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick. • If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is poor, the energy consumption is substantially higher. To restore efficiency, replace the gasket. • 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.
dispose it of in compliance with environmental protecting precautions. (See We Care for the Environment). • In the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or his service agent or a qualified person in order to avoid hazard. • The rating plate is inside the appliance or outside on the rear wall. Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance • When your appliance finally wears out, dispose it of.
Placing and Installation Choosing the Right Place Place the appliance in dry and regularly ventilated room. Allowed ambient temperature depends on the model (class) of the appliance and is stated on the rating plate of the appliance. Class SN (sub-normal) N (normal) ST (sub-tropical) T (tropical) Ambient temparature from + 10°C to + 32°C from + 16°C to + 32°C from + 18°C to + 38°C from + 18°C to + 43°C Never place the appliance near heat emitting devices (e.g.
Description of the Appliance Refrigerator (A) Refrigerator is used for storing fresh foods for few days. Freezer (B) Freezer is used for freezing fresh foods and for storing already frozen foods. Shelf (1) (number depends on the 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. Glass shelves (some models only have them) are protected with plastic spacers.
Bottle rack (in some models only) Bottle rack (number depends on model) is intended for storing the bottles. There are two installation positions available (horizontal or lifted in the front) thus enabling the positioning of bottles on the stopper as well. It is protected against pulling out. If you want to pull it out, simply lift its rear part and pull it towards you.
Operation Control The appliance is controlled with thermostat knob, situated in the right upper part inside the appliance. Turn the knob clockwise from STOP (0) position towards 7 and backwards. Temperature Selection • Higher settings on the knob (towards 7) mean lower temperatures (colder) in all three compartments of the appliance. Temperature in the interior of the appliance may even drop below 0°C. When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend medium setting.
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).

• For freezing smaller amount of foods (up to 1 kg) there is no need to change the thermostat setting (see Temperature Selection). Storing Frozen Foods Frozen foods can be stored on the bottom of the appliance or on the shelf. Commercially Frozen Foods The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing commercially frozen foods are indicated on the packaging. For storing and using consider the manufacturer's instruction.
How to make ice cubes Recommended thermostat position for ice making is on the middle setting. Fill two thirds of the ice tray with cold water or any other liquid convenient for freezing. Insert the ice tray into the guides or on the cooling plate. Time required for the ice to form, largely depends on ambient temperature, thermostat setting and on how often you open the door. It usually takes 2-6 hours (depends on which model of refrigerator you have).
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.
• Every now and then wipe the condenser on the rear wall. Use soft non-metal brush or vacuum cleaner. • Clean the drain pan on the refrigerator compressor. Do not remove the drain pan! After cleaning, connect the appliance to power supply and reload the packages. Switch Off the Appliance When Not In Use If you do not intend to use the appliance for a longer period, set the thermostat knob to the STOP (0) position, disconnect the power supply, take out the foods and defrost and clean 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 in operating position).
• Manually defrost the increased ice layer. See "Ice Formation on the Inner Back Wall". Noise Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is enabled by the refrigerating 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.
Mounting Instructions Integrated Refrigerating and Freezing Appliances Mounting instructions for refrigerating and freezing appliances are for qualified technicians only. Appliance should be mounted and installed in compliance with these instructions, current standards and regulations. Mounting instructions were prepared for various types/models of appliances, therefore they may describe some procedures that do not apply to your appliance.
Mounting Dimensions and Required Air Circulation The rear wall of the appliance is getting warm during the operation of the appliance (and water is evaporating from the drain pan on the compressor). You must therefore provide for adequate air circulation on the rear of the appliance. • At the base of the kitchen unit intended for building in the integrated appliance, there should be at least 200 cm² free space, for adequate air circulation.
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 and are now plugged. • Remove the cover of the upper hinge, unscrew the hinge and take off the door (the door is not fixed on the lower hinge). • Unscrew the upper rail, replace it to the opposite side of the appliance and fix it.

Mounting the Appliance • Push the appliance for some 38 mm into the kitchen unit and allow at least 4 mm free space on both sides between the appliance and the side walls of the kitchen unit (Fig. 1). • Widely open the door and put it together with the kitchen unit door. The procedure is as follows. − Fix the slide guides (attached in a plastic bag along with the screws ST 4,2 x 9,5) to the edge of the door. Cover the open holes with the attached cap.
