Switch and indicator set  
The following component can be found under a cover  
in the top frame:  
A. Thermostat knob of the appliance  
It is for setting the temperature in the appliance.  
Handling the appliance  
Putting it into use  
Place the accessories into the appliance then plug to  
the mains socket.  
The thermostat knob is under a cover in the top  
frame.You can switch the appliance on and set the  
temperature with it by turning the knob clockwise.  
The next paragraph will give instructions for setting.  
Controlling the temperature, setting  
The thermostat interrupts the operation of the  
appliance automatically for more or less time  
depending on the setting then restarts it assuring the  
required temperature.  
The closer it is set to „Max.” position the more  
intensive the refrigerating will be. When the thermostat  
knob is set to „Medium” position (between „Min.” and  
„Max.”), in the freezing compartment -18 °C, in the  
fresh food compartment +5 °C can be reached.  
Setting it to „Medium” position is adequate for  
everyday use.  
The temperature coming about in the refrigerator is  
effected by not only the position of the thermostat but  
the ambient temperature, frequency of door openings  
and the quantity of food put into it newly, etc.  
In the maximum „Max.” position - in case of  
increased demand e.g. during heatwaves - the  
compressor may operate continually. This does not  
cause damages to the appliance.

How to use the refrigerator  
For adequate cooling developing interior air  
circulation is necessary. For this reason you are  
asked not to cover the air circulation gaps behind the  
shelves (e.g with tray 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.  
Storing in the refrigerator  
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 chart at the end of the instruction  
book gives information about storage time.  
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 the refrigerator.

How to make ice cubes  
How to use the freezer  
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  
position can shorten preparing time. After finishing  
do not forget to reset the thermostatic control to the  
suitable position.  
Freezing  
The appliance can be used to freeze fresh food of  
quantity specified on the data label. Freezing different  
products should always be done after proper  
preparing as follows.  
Set the thermostat knob to a medium position.  
Put the previously frozen food - or some of it - to  
another basket or baskets. Put the fresh food into the  
upper basket, leaving enough space for airflow. If  
there is some previously frozen food left in the upper  
basket, put this food into the back of the basket  
avoiding the contact between the fresh food and the  
already frozen food.  
Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under  
running water then twist or hit it. If the ice tray  
freezes to the compartment, avoid using metal  
tools or knife to take it out as the cooling system  
can be damaged.  
Some useful information  
and advice  
The variable shelves are worth paying attention  
to, which increases the usability of the fresh food  
compartment considerably. Rearranging the  
shelves is also possible when the door is open at  
an angle of 90°.  
After opening and closing the door of freezer  
vacuum will rise inside the appliance because of  
the low temperature. So wait 2-3 minutes after  
closing the door - if you want to open it again -  
while inner pressure equalises.  
Take care of operating the freezer at a position of  
thermostatic control so that the inside  
temperature can never go above -18 °C, since  
temperature higher than this can deteriorate  
frozen foods.  
Run the appliance this way for 24 hours.  
After 24 hours set the thermostat knob according to  
your choice or leave it in a medium position, which is  
in general appropriate for everyday cooling needs.  
Should you want to freeze the quantity declared by the  
producer, remove the upper basket from the  
appliance and put the fresh food uniformly distributed  
directly on the cooling surface.  
Setting the thermostat knob to a higher (e.g.  
maximum) position is not recommended.  
Although doing so would make the freezing time  
shorter, on the other hand the temperature of the  
fridge compartment may go permanently below 0°C,  
what yields freezing the food and drinks stored there.  
Never freeze food in bigger quantity than  
given in the 'Technical data' at the same  
time, otherwise freezing will not be thorough and  
after dissolving various deterioration may take  
place (losing taste and aroma, lysing, etc.).  
It is practical to make sure of faultless operation  
of the appliance daily so as to notice possible  
failure in time and prevent deterioration of frozen  
foods.  
Do not make ice during freezing preferably,  
because making ice reduces freezing capacity.  
Storing in the freezer  
Hints and ideas  
It is practical to replace frozen products into the  
basket(s) after freezing has finished. Doing this you  
could make room in the freezing compartment for  
another freezing. Intermediate freezing does not  
deteriorate foods already stored.  
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.  
In large quantities of food are to be stored, remove the  
baskets except the lowermost one from appliance and  
place food on the cooling surface.  
Do not forget to keep to the storage time given  
on the packaging of frozen products if you buy  
them frozen. To store home-frozen products see the  
storing instructions placed in the door of the freezer.  
Symbols signify the various foods, numbers mean  
maximum storing time given in months.  
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.  
It is safe to store quick-frozen, frozen foods only  
if they have not dissolved even for a short time  
until placing them into the freezer. If the deep-frozen  
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 warm foods into the appliance only when  
they are at room temperature.  
Keep the condenser clean.

The appliance and environment  
This appliance does not contain gases 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  
Defrosting  
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chambers in  
form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the  
appliance.  
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it  
reduces cooling efficiency as the temperature  
increases in the cooling chambers, they need more  
energy.  
At this type of appliance defrosting the cooling surface  
of the refrigerator 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 - the  
temperature of the cooling surface goes above 0 °C  
due to interior heating load of the compartment, so  
defrosting occurs. When the surface temperature of  
the cooling surface has reached +3 - +4 °C the  
thermostatic control restarts operation of the system.  
Melting water flows through defrost water outlet  
leaded through the back into the evaporator tray  
maintained on the top of compressor and evaporates  
due to its warmth.  
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 as it can go to the insulating  
of the appliance.  
Clean the melting water outlet with the supplied pipe  
scraper that can be seen in the figure. The pipe  
scraper has to be stored in the outlet.  
The most typical case of clogging up in the melting  
water outlet when you put food wrapped in some  
paper into the appliance and this paper contacts back  
plate of the refrigerator 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.  
9
 
In case of increased demand e.g. during  
heatwaves, the refrigerator temporarily happens  
to operate constantly - during this the automatic  
defrosting does not work.  
Remaining small ice and frost stains on back plate of  
the refrigerator after defrosting period is not abnormal.  
The freezer can not be equipped with automatic  
defrosting set since the deep-frozen and frozen foods  
do not endure melting temperature.  
When small frost and ice occurs scrape off and  
remove frost and ice coating with the supplied plastic  
scraper.  
When ice coating is so thick that it cannot be removed  
with the plastic scraper, the cooling gill have to be  
defrosted. Frequency of defrosting depends on usage  
(generally 2-3 times a year).  
Take the frozen foods out of the appliance, and put  
them into a basket lined with paper or cloth. Store  
them in a possibly cool place or replace them into  
another refrigerator.  
Pull out the mains plug from the mains socket, so both  
parts of the appliance are out of operation.  
Open the doors of both parts of the appliance and  
clean the refrigerator according to 'Regular cleaning'.  
Maintain and clean the freezer as following:  
Sweep off the melting water with a cloth or sponge in  
direction of sides of the cooling plates. The melting  
water swept down gathers in the outlet channel  
practically formed in the bottom of the appliance and  
can be removed according to figure.  
Put an adequately high bowl or dish under the outlet.  
The bowl in figure is not a piece of accessories to the  
appliance!  
Wipe the surfaces after defrosting and leading the  
water out.  
Put the mains plug into the mains socket and put  
foods taken out back to their places.  
It is recommended to operate the appliance at the  
highest position of the thermostatic control for some  
hours so that it can reach the sufficient storing  
temperature as soon as possible.  
10  
 
Regular cleaning  
It is recommended to wash the inside of the refrigerator in  
3-4 weeks time using lukewarm water then wipe it (it is  
practical to clean the inside of the freezer and defrost it at  
a time).  
Household cleaner or soap must not be used.  
After breaking the circuit wash the appliance with  
lukewarm water then wipe it. Clean the door gasket with  
clean water. After cleaning apply voltage to the appliance.  
It is recommended to remove the dust and dirt collected  
on the back of the refrigerator and the condenser and to  
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.  
Press the rear hook (1) and at the same time slide the  
cover in the direction indicated by the arrow (2). So the  
bulb can be replaced. (Bulb type: T 25 230-240 V,  
25 W, E 14 thread)  
After changing the bulb replace the cover, snap it in  
place and apply voltage to the appliance.  
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.

After each transportation the appliance must not be  
switched on for approx. 2 hours.  
If the ambient temperature goes below the lower  
data the temperature of the cooling compartment  
can go beyond the prescribed temperature.  
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.  
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.  
Cleaning  
Remove every adhesive tape and everything else,  
which ensure the accessories not to move in the  
appliance.  
Mount the spacers supplied in the plastic bag  
of the accessories. Hold the spacer as shown  
on the Fig., knock it home, then turn it by 90°.  
(Into the oval holes of back side of 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

When placing the appliance ensure that it stands level.  
This can be achieved by two adjustable feet at the  
bottom in front.  
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
