Hints and ideas
In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given
about how to use the appliance to reach maximum
energy saving and there is environmental information
about the appliance as well.
How to save energy
The colder the ambient temperature of the
appliance is the less energy it uses.
Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place and
near anything that gives off heat.
Be sure that the condenser and the compressor
are well ventilated. Do not cover the sections where
ventilation is.
Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film
to avoid building up unnecessary frost.
Do not leave the door open longer than necessary
and avoid unnecessary openings.
Put foods into the appliance only in a closed dish.
Put warm foods into the appliance only when they
are at room temperature.
Keep the condenser clean at the back of the
appliance.
The appliance and environment
This appliance does not contain gasses which could
damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant circuit
or insulation materials. The appliance shall not be
discarded together with the urban refuse and rubbish.
Avoid damaging the cooling unit, especially at the rear
near the heat exchanger. Information on your local
disposal sites may be obtained from your municipal
authorities.
The materials used on this appliance marked with the
sympol are
recyclable.
Maintenance
during this cooling is interrupted - temperature of
the cooling compartment increases and defrosting
occurs. After defrosting the thermostatic control
restarts operation of the system.
Melting water flows through defrost water outlet into
the evaporative tray maintained on the top of
compressor and evaporates due to warmth of it.
Occasionally check the defrost water outlet not to
be clogged up.
The most typical case of clogging up in the defrost
water outlet when you put food wrapped in some
paper into the appliance and this paper contacts
back plate of cooling compartment and freezes to
it. If you remove the food right at this moment the
paper will tear and it can cause clogging up in the
outlet by getting into it. So you are asked to be
careful - because of the above - when placing foods
wrapped in paper into the appliance.
In case of increased demand e.g. during
heatwaves, the refrigerator temporarily
happens to operate constantly - during this the
automatic defrosting is ineffective.
Remaining small ice and frost stains on back plate
of the cooling compartment after defrosting period
is not abnormal.
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber in
form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the
refrigerator.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it
reduces cooling efficiency as the temperature
increases and it needs more energy.
At this type of appliance defrosting cooling
compartment is automatic without any external
intervention.
The thermostatic control interrupts the operation of
compressor at regular intervals for more or less time -

Regular cleaning
It is recommended to wash the inside of the
refrigerator in 3-4 weeks time.
Household cleaner or soap must not be used.
After you made it no-current wash the appliance
using lukewarm water and wipe it.
Clean the magnet door rubber profile with clean
water.
After cleaning plug the appliance to the mains
socket.
Dust and dirt collected on the back of the
refrigerator, condenser is recommended to be
removed and clean the evaporative tray on top of
the compressor once or twice a year.
When the refrigerator is not in use
In case the appliance will not be used for a long
time follow these steps:
Break the circuit of the appliance.
Remove foods from the refrigerator.
Defrost and clean it as written before.
Leave the door open to avoid a build up of air
inside.
