[. . . ] 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 %. Description of the Appliance Shelf (1) (the number of shelves depend on model) 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. Glass shelves (some models only have them) are protected with plastic spacers. Spacers can be also removed, however, it is better to keep them for any later transport. Quickly perishable food should be stored on the back i. e. the coldest part of the shelves. Bottle rack (in some models only) 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. 27 Instructions for Use Fruit and Vegetable Container (3) The container is on the bottom of the appliance under the glass shelf. It provides adequate humidity which has favourable effect on fruit and vegetables stored in it (less dehydration). Door Liner 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. could cause damage and when in contact with plastic surfaces or gaskets for longer period of time they can even cause accelerated ageing of the plastic material.  Unpleasant odour inside the refrigerator is a sign that something is wrong with foods or that your refrigerator needs cleaning. Unpleasant odor can be eliminated or reduced by washing the interior of the refrigerator with a mild solution of water and vinegar. We also recommend using activated carbon filters to clean the air or to neutralize odors.  If you plan a longer journey, make sure to remove quickly perishable articles of food out of the appliance before you leave.

Ice is depositing on the inner back wall during the compressor operation; later on, when the compressor is not operating ice is defrosting and water drops collect and drain through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor, from where it evaporates. Instructions for Use 29 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. 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:  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  The door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too long.  The door is not properly closed (the door may sag, the gasket may be polluted or damaged). 30 Instructions for Use  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. Water is Leaking From the Refrigerator In case the discharge water outlet is clogged, or the defrost water drips over the channel, water leaks from the refrigerator. [. . . ] Gradually the noise is reduced. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ALTER THE SPECIFICATIONS WITH NO INFLUENCE ON THE OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE. Instructions for Use 31 Mounting Instructions Integrated Refrigerating and Freezing Appliances Mounting instructions for refrigerating and freezing appliances are for qualified technicians only. Appliance should be mounted and installed in compliance with these instructions, current standards and regulations. Mounting instructions were prepared for various types/models of appliances, therefore they may describe some procedures that do not apply to your appliance. Mounting Dimensions and Required Air Circulation 9 Changing the Direction of Opening the Door 10-11 Mounting the Appliance 12-13 8 Mounting Instructions Mounting Dimensions and Required Air Circulation The rear wall of the appliance is getting warm during the operation of the appliance (and water is evaporating from the drain pan on the compressor). You must therefore provide for adequate air circulation on the rear of the appliance. [. . . ]
