[. . . ] (See Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance) Tips for Energy Savings • Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. • Check periodically if the appliance is provided with sufficient cooling (undisturbed circulation of air through the bottom rail openings). 2 • Turn the thermostat knob from higher to lower setting as soon as possible (depends on how loaded the appliance is, ambient temperature. . . ). • Before loading the appliance with fresh food, make sure it was cooled to ambient temperature. [. . . ] The appliance should be positioned at least 3 cm away from the electric or gas cooker and at least 30 cm away from the oil or coal stove. Class SN (subnormal) N (normal) Ambient temparature from + 10°C to + 32°C from + 16°C to + 32°C Connection to Power Supply Connect the appliance with the cable and plug to the power supply socket outlet with a ground terminal (safety socket). Required nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the rating plate. The connection to the mains supply and earthing have to be made according to current standards and regulations. The appliance resists temporary voltage tolerance up to -6 to +6 %. Adjusting the height of the appliance The appliance is equipped with four adjustable legs, so that the height may be adjusted from 82 to 90 cm. The height must be adjusted prior building the appliance into the opening slot, and it should be set at such height that the top panel of the appliance fits exactly below the kitchen worktop (see Mounting Instructions). Instructions for Use 3 Description of the Appliance Shelf (1) The shelf may be placed randomly upon any of the guide slots within the interior of the appliance. The shelf is placed upon the top four guides by lowering the front section of the shelf downwards, the rear of the shelf is placed upon the guide slot and the shelf is inserted in the guide in the inclined position. The shelf is placed upon the top four guides by lifting the front section of the shelf upwards, the rear of the shelf is placed upon the guide slot and the shelf is inserted in the guide in the inclined position. In case you may wish to remove the shelf from the appliance lift the shelf by hand at the rear and pull it out in the opposite procedure. the coldest part of the shelves. The interior of the refrigerator is cooled with cooling plate incorporated in the rear wall. Regularly check the defrost water outlet and the channel, because they should never be clogged (as for example with food rests). If clogged, use a plastic straw and clean it. Crisp tray and serving tray (3) The tray at the bottom of the refrigerator is covered with the serving tray. This cover protects the stored fruit and vegetables from excessive drying. Door Liner The door liner consists of various shelves or holders used for storing eggs, cheese, butter and yogurt as well as other smaller packages, tubes, cans etc. The lower shelf is used for storing bottles. Illumination in the Interior of the Refrigerator The light for illuminating the interior of the appliance is on, when the door is opened. The operation of the light does not depend on the position of the thermostat knob. Defrost Water Outlet (2) Operation Control The appliance is controlled with thermostat knob, situated in the right upper part inside the appliance. • In STOP (0) position the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is switched off), yet power supply is not interrupted (the light is on, when you open the refrigerator door). • Temperature in the refrigerator also depends on how often the door is opened. 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. Higher settings should be used only in case higher temperature is recommended or required. • Changes of the ambient temprature affect temperature in the interior of the appliance (choose correct setting of the thermostat knob). 4 Instructions for Use 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). [. . . ] • 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. • 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. • Sometimes unusual and stronger noise is heard, which is rather unusual for the appliance.
