[. . . ] Always consider instructions stated in sections Positioning and Energy Saving Tips, otherwise the energy consumption is substantially higher. Important • If you've bought this appliance to replace an old one equipped with a lock that cannot be opened from inside (lock, bolt), make sure that the lock is broken. This will make it impossible for the children to lock themselves in the appliance and suffocate. Mind to connect the appliance correctly to the mains supply (see Connection to the Mains Supply). Do not touch the cooled surfaces while the appliance operates, especially not with wet hands, because the skin might stick to the cold surfaces. [. . . ] In case the interruption is extended over longer period of Placing and Installation Choosing the Right Place Place the appliance in a 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. cooker, radiator, water heater and similar devices) and do not expose it to direct sunlight. 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. Behind the appliance there should be free space at least 200 cm² wide and above the appliance the high kitchen units should be at least 5 cm away from the appliance in order to assure adequate ventilation of the condenser unit. 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 + 16°C to + 38°C from + 16°C to + 43°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 in 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 %. Instructions for Use 13 Description of the Appliance Freezing Compartment (1) is used for freezing fresh foods. Cold accumulators (7) (some models only) In the upper part of the freezing compartment there are two cold accumulators. Before switching on the freezer for the first time, remove the accumulators and insert them again after the red light is off. • Both accumulators maintain uniform temperature of frozen foods therefore assuring higher quality of foods and reducing energy consumption. • If you remove the accumulators, the compartment can be used for freezing fruits (for example berries) or for ice making. • From time to time wipe the condenser on the rear wall with a soft non-metal brush or vacuum cleaner. After you have cleaned the appliance, reconnect it to the mains supply and put the food packages back to their place. • Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage to the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health. Switch Off the Appliance When Not in Use If you do not intend to use the appliance for a longer period of time, disconnect the power supply, empty the appliance, defrost it and clean it. 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 door is not properly closed (the door may sag, the gasket may be polluted or damaged). Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance with fresh foods. 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. Continuous Operation of the Cooling System • Set the thermostat knob from the position for continuos to the position for automatic operation. 17 The Red Light is On • The door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too long. Instructions for Use • The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor and condenser (assure adequate air circulation behind the appliance and wipe the dust from the condenser). • The Door is Hard to Open If you want to open the door that has just or recently been closed, you may find it hard to open. The reason why this happens is, that when you open the door, warm air gets into the appliance and when it is cooling, the underpressure seals the door. After few minutes (1-3), the door can easily be opened. 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. 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. [. . . ] • Turn the door for 180° and replace it on the opposite side of the low temperature compartment. Fix the hinge and the blocking element of the door (position of holes already provided). 10 Mounting Instructions 1 Cover for the upper hinge 2 Upper hinge 3 Upper rail 4 Slide guide 5 Lower hinge washer 6 Lower hinge fastener 7 Lower hinge 8 Corner without a hole 9 Corner with a hole 10 Low temperature compartment 11 Blocking element 12 Door hinge Mounting Instructions 11 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. • Widely open the door and put it together with the kitchen unit door. − 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.
