[. . . ] GB Instructions for use Refrigerator-freezer We thank you for the confidence you have shown by purchasing our appliance. The refrigerator-freezer (hereinafter referred to as the appliance) consists of two parts: the upper part is the refrigerator compartment, and the lower part is the freezer compartment – freezer chest. The refrigerator compartment is intended for use in households, for storing fresh food at temperatures higher than 0°C. The freezer is intended for use in households, for freezing fresh food and for long-term storage of frozen food (up to one year, depending on the type of food).

[. . . ] Briefly press the E key several times until SF is selected and wait for five seconds until the F light will light up. If this setting is not deactivated manually, it will be activated automatically (after approximately two days). Use this setting after switching on the appliance for the first time, before cleaning, and when inserting major quantities of food into the freezer. 15 260437 High freezer temperature alarm If the temperature inside the refrigerator is too high, an acoustic alarm will be activated (intermittent beep) and the signal light D will flash. Signal light D will go off when the freezer temperature drops to a level that no longer presents food spoilage hazard. • Acoustic alarm will be activated every 24 hours if the freezer temperature is still not low enough and there is danger of food spoilage. Sound alarm will be deactivated automatically when the freezer temperature drops to a level that no longer presents food spoilage hazard. • After switching on the appliance for the first time, there is a 24-hour delay in the temperature alarm operation to allow the freezer to reach the set temperature and to prevent unnecessary alarm activation. Digital display Displays actual temperature in the refrigerator (positive single digit number) or in the freezer (negative two-digit number). While the temperature is being set, the display will flash, indicating the currently selected setting. The display will also flash when the freezer temperature rises to a critical level that presents food spoilage hazard. 260437 16 Operating the mechanically controlled appliance CONTROL UNIT IV Appliance with Dual Compressor System A B C D Temperature setting and on/off knob for the freezer compartment Temperature setting and on/off knob for the refrigerator compartment Lighting on/off key Red LED: excessive temperature warning 17 260437 Turning the appliance on/off Turning on the freezer: rotate the thermostat knob A in clockwise direction towards the Max position. Turning off: rotate the A knob back until the arrow is aligned symbol (the appliance is still powered). with the Turning on the refrigerator: rotate the thermostat knob B in clockwise direction towards the Max position. Turning off: rotate the B knob back until the arrow is aligned symbol (the appliance is still powered). with the Setting the temperature in the appliance Set the temperature in the freezer compartment by rotating the A knob from Mix. In order to set the refrigerator compartment temperature, rotate the B knob between Min and Max position. • Recommended setting for both thermostat knobs is halfway between the Min and Max mark. • A change in the environment temperature will also affect the temperature in the appliance. Settings closer to the Max mark correspond to lower temperatures in the appliance (cooler air) and settings closer to the Min position correspond to higher temperatures. • Red LED (D) will light up when the temperature in the freezer compartment rises to a level that may be detrimental to the food; it will go off as soon as the temperature drops to a safe level (see “Troubleshooting”). 260437 18 CONTROL UNIT V Appliance with a single compressor, without a fan A Temperature setting and on/off knob B Illumination on/off button 19 260437 Appliance with a single compressor, with a fan A Temperature setting and on/off knob B Illumination on/off button 260437 20 Turning the appliance on/off Turn on: rotate the thermostat knob A in clockwise direction towards the Max position. Turn off: rotate the thermostat knob A back into a position (in this case, the where the arrow is pointing at the symbol appliance is still powered). Setting the appliance temperature • Set the desired refrigerator compartment temperature by rotating the A knob so that the arrow is pointing to a position between the Min. • The setting recommended by the manufacturer is in the middle, between the Min and Max signs. • Any change in the environment temperature will affect the temperature inside the appliance. Setting the thermostat to a position closer to the Max sign increase the temperature (cooler); setting it to a position closer to the Min sign will decrease the temperature (warmer). • If the temperature of the environment in which the appliance is installed is lower than 16°C, we recommend setting the thermostat button to the Max. [. . . ] • Frost and ice accumulated in a layer of 3-5 mm will cause an increase in power consumption; therefore it should be removed regularly (this does not apply to the NO FROST freezer). • Condenser unit on the back of the refrigerator should always be kept clean, free of dust or deposit from kitchen smoke. Use a soft non-metal brush or a vacuum cleaner to clean the dust periodically. • After cleaning, switch on the appliance and put the food back in. 29 260437 Troubleshooting Problem: After connecting to the power mains, the appliance does not operate: Cooling system has been working continuously for a long period of time: Cause or remedy: • Make sure the wall outlet is powered and that the appliance is plugged in.
