Instructions for Use

After cleaning, connect the appliance to power supply and reload it.

Periodical cleaning of the condenser

In order to optimize the operation of the appliance and save

energy, it is recommended to clean periodically the dust from

the condenser at the back of the appliance.

Disconnect the appliance from the mains prior the

commencement of cleaning!

x Empty the contents of the appliance.

x Remove the supporting panel from the bottom of the kitchen

cabinet.

x Remove the screws fixing the appliance to the kitchen worktop.

x Pull the appliance out and expose the condenser at the back of the

appliance.

x Unscrew the screws from the condenser bonnet and remove the

bonnet.

x Clean the dust and dirt from the condenser.

After cleaning return the appliance to its place, plug in the

mains power cord and fill with food.

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. Leave the door slightly open.

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

x Check the supply in the outlet socket and make sure the

appliance is switched on (thermostat knob in operating

position).

Continuous Operation of the Cooling System

x The door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too

long.

x The door is not properly closed (the door may sag, the

gasket may be polluted or damaged).

x Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance with fresh

foods.

x Insufficient cooling of compressor and condenser.

Check the air circulation through the bottom rail openings

and if necessary clean or vacuum the dust from the

condenser. See Section Cleaning and Maintenance.

Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall

Until the water is drained through the hole in the rear and into

the receptacle at the bottom of the appliance, normal

automatic defrosting of the appliance is guaranteed.

In case the ice formation on the inner back wall is increased (3-

5 mm), ice should be manually defrosted.

Set the thermostat knob to STOP (0) position and leave the

door open. Never use electric devices for defrosting and do not

scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp objects.

After completed defrosting, turn the knob to desired position

and close the refrigerator door.

The cause of increased ice formation may be one of the

following:

 the door does not seal well (clean the gasket if it is

contaminated, or replace it if it is damaged);

 the door was frequently opened or it was left opened for

too long;

 the food stored in the refrigerator was warm;

 the food or dish is touching the inner back wall.

Sound alarm

The excessive dust upon the condenser is signaled by the

sound alarm, heard at each opening of the appliance door –

until the default is removed.

Check the air circulation through the bottom rail openings and

if necessary clean or vacuum the dust from the condenser.

See Section Cleaning and Maintenance.

Water drains into the bottom compartment of the

appliance

Water leaks from the refrigerator if the drain hole is clogged, or

if the water drips past the collection gutter.

x Clean the clogged outlet, for example with a plastic straw.

x Manually defrost the increased ice layer. See "Ice Formation

onthe Inner Rear Wall".

Noise

Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is enabled by the

cooling 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.

x During the operation of the compressor the noise of liquid

is heard and when the compressor is not operating, the

refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal condition and it

has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance.

x After starting the appliance, the operation of the

compressor and the refrigerant flow may be louder, which

does not mean that something is wrong with the appliance

and it has no influence on the lifetime of the appliance.

Gradually the noise is reduced.

x Sometimes unusual and stronger noise is heard, which is

rather unusual for the appliance. This noise is often a

consequence of inadequate placing.
