Instructions for Use

16

After cleaning, connect the appliance to power supply and
reload the packages.

Switch Off the Appliance When Not In Use

If you do not intend to use the appliance for a longer period, set
the thermostat knob to the 

STOP (0)

 position, disconnect the

power supply, take out the foods and defrost and clean the
appliance. 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 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 (thermostat in operating position).

Continuous Operation of the Refrigerating 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).

• 

Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance with fresh
foods.

• 

The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor
and condenser (assure adequate air circulation and wipe off
the condenser).

• 

Continuous operation button activated (see section Freezing
of Food).

Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall

As long as the defrost water runs to the channel and through
the opening to the drain pan on the compressor, automatic
defrosting of the appliance is assured.
In case the ice formation on the inner back wall is increased (3-
5 mm), ice should be manually defrosted.
Set the thermostat knob to 

STOP (0)

 position and leave the

door open. Never use electric devices for defrosting and do not
scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp objects.
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:

− 

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.

• 

Clean the clogged opening, for example with a plastic straw.

• 

Manually defrost the increased ice layer. See "Ice Formation
on the Inner Back Wall".

The Freezer 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 getting
cool, the underpressure seals the door. After few minutes (5-
10), the door can easily be opened.

Noise

Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is enabled by the
refrigerating 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.
Gradually the noise is reduced.

• 

Sometimes 

unusual and stronger noise

 is heard, which is

rather unusual for the appliance. This noise is often a
consequence of inadequate placing.

− 

The appliance shall be placed and levelled firmly on
solid base.

− 

It should not touch the wall or kitchen units standing next
to it.

− 

Check the accesories in the interior of the appliance,
they should be placed correctly in their positions; also
check the bottles, tins and other vessels that might
touch each other and rattle.

Bulb Replacement

Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the appliance form
the power supply.
Press the cover at the rear side (in the arrow 1 direction) and
remove the plastic cover (in the arrow 2 direction). Replace the
bulb with a new one (E14, max. 15 W).
Don't forget: the old bulb does not belong to organic waste.

Light bulb is consuming good therefore our in-guarantee
service does not relate to it.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ALTER THE SPECIFICATIONS WITH NO INFLUENCE ON THE

OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE.
