[. . . ] The appliance resists temporary voltage tolerance up to -15 to +10 %. · Two spacers attached to the appliance must be fitted onto the upper edge of the condenser, thus preventing the appliance from being installed too close to the wall. Spacers are manufactured for all-purpose function depending on the distance of the condenser from the wall. Therefore turn spacers correspondingly and fix them to the appliance. 50 Instructions for Use Description of the Appliance Refrigerator (A) Refrigerator is used for storing fresh foods for few days. Warning! If the door contains storing shelves, install the rack in such position that the length of the bottles will not hinder the closing of the door. The rack may carry 9 bottles of 0, 75 l or more at the maximum (total weight max. 13 kg) ­ note the label underneath the thermostat box inside the appliance. Freezer (B) Freezer is used for freezing fresh foods and for storing already frozen foods. Shelf (1) Shelf can be optionally placed on the guides inside the appliance. If you want to remove it, slightly lift up the back part and pull it out. the coldest part of the shelves. Bottle rack (only some models have it) Bottle rack (number depends on model) is intended for storing the bottles. There are two installation positions available (horizontal or lifted in the front) thus enabling the positioning of bottles on the stopper as well. If you want to pull it out, simply lift its rear part and pull it towards you. Defrost Water Outlet (2) 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. Instructions for Use 51 Fruit and Vegetable Container (3) The container is on the bottom under the glass shelf and is used mainly for storing fruits and vegetables. Some 24 hours after loading, turn the thermostat knob to operating position if necessary (see Temperature selection), and then reload the frozen packages into the storage baskets. · If you have a model with integrated switch for intensive cooling, switch it on some 24 hours before loading the appliance with larger amounts of fresh foods and turn the thermostat knob to position 5-7. After loading, wait for another 24 hours and switch off the switch and turn the thermostat knob to required position (see Temperature selection). (I) or The switch is ON when the marking colour marking is visible, and OFF when the marking (0) is visible or colour marking is not visible (depending on model). If a condense appears on the ceiling of the refrigerator, turn-on the switch located inside the refrigerator (with models having such a switch). After the condense has vanished, turn the switch on again. · The next time you want to freeze fresh foods, repeat the freezing procedure and be careful that packages with fresh foods do not touch frozen packages.

Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy microorganisms which rapidly activate after defrosting and make foods perishable. Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of foods, especially of fruits, vegetables and readymade meals. Ice Making Recommended thermostat position for ice making is on the middle setting. Fill two thirds of the ice tray with cold water or any other liquid convenient for freezing. Time required for the ice to form, largely depends on ambient temperature, thermostat setting and on how often you open the door. It usually takes 2-6 hours (depends on which model of refrigerator you have). [. . . ] · Wipe up the scraped frost and ice before it is completely defrosted. · Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage to the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health. · Do not forget to clean also the defrost water receptacle above the refrigerator compressor (do not remove the receptacle). Cleaning the Appliance Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the appliance. Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning agents as you can damage the surface. [. . . ]
