PREPARATION FOR WORK

1. Remove all safety elements.
2. Refrigerator should be set on a level surface. Whenever required, adjust the level using adjustable feet.
3. To ensure appropriate ventilation, position the fridge ensuring the following distance from the walls and other objects: back and sides of the fridge at least 10 cm, the top at least 20 cm. Leave enough space to open the fridge door to the angle of 160o.
4. The fridge should be placed far from any heat sources (cooker, radiator, stove) and it should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
5. The fridge cannot be located near flammable or explosive materials such as gas, petrol, alcohol etc. Do not store the above-mentioned materials in the fridge.
6. Do not place the fridge in areas with high moisture.
7. After setting the refrigerator in a suitable place, wait at least 2h before connecting it to the power supply.
8. Make sure that the power source to which you want to connect the device meets the specifications given on the nameplate. This device is equipped with a grounded type plug and must be plugged into a grounded type outlet. If any power flickers take place, connect a special device to the fridge, controlling the power automatically.
9. The power cord should not be extended or wound when the device is on. Moreover, take care the power cord is not placed too close to the compressor at the fridge back. The operating compressor generates high temperature and can damage the power cord.
10. In case of accidental disconnection from the power supply wait at least 5 minutes before restarting.

First use
After connecting the refrigerator to a power source switch the thermostat knob to the position between 1 and 5. The refrigerator will start working. Close the door, after about 30 minutes the housing of the refrigerator on the right or left side should be warm, and the temperature in the cooling chamber should decrease. This means proper operation of the compressor.

Thermostat
Refrigerator is controlled by thermostat. In “0” position refrigerator stops working. For positions “1 to 5”, the lower setting, the higher cooling temperature. The refrigerator should be set at a higher level for the user. The level “5” is suitable for fast freezing. After rapid freezing it is recommended to bring the thermostat to its normal operating position.

Preparation of ice
Pour drinking water to the ice container and put it in the freezer. Set the thermostat knob in position 4/5.

Cooling chamber
The temperature of the cooling chamber is about 0°C – 10°C. It is suitable for storage of vegetables, fruit, drinks for a short time.

Freezer
The freezer temperature is about – 18oC. It is suitable for storage of frozen fish, meat and other products, which require longer storage time.

FOOD STORAGE

It is recommended to keep food in sealed containers intended for contact with food, in order to prevent influence of other odours.
Food should not be placed too closely to allow free air flow.
Do not put hot food in the refrigerator. Cool to room temperature beforehand.
Minimize the frequency and time of opening the refrigerator door and keeping it opened.
If the food be cleaned before putting into the refrigerator, wash it, dry it and then put to the refrigerator.

DEFROSTING AND CLEANING

If the ice layer inside the fridge and freezer chambers gets about 3-5 cm thick, the device should be defrosted. The device requires manual defrosting. To defrost you should:

• Set the thermostat to “0” and unplug the device.
• Remove food from the fridge and freezer chambers.
• Open the door to let the ice melt. To speed up the defrosting process, you can place a bowl with hot water on the shelf and close the door of the fridge and freezer.
• Do not use metal tools or electric heaters to accelerate the defrosting process.
• Remove water from the fridge and freezer with a soft cloth. Clean the device inside and outside using a soft, wet cloth with a neutral washing agent. Dry the chambers.
• Do not pour water over the outer part of the refrigerator. This can damage the insulation layer.
• It is forbidden to wash with hot water, acid, alkalis, gasoline, benzene, caustic means, alcohol or abrasives.
• Place food in the fridge and freezer, set the thermostat to the desired position and plug the device.

To ensure hygiene, clean the fridge interior with sufficient frequency. To do this:

• unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet
• wash with a soft damp cloth with a neutral detergent
• dry afterwards.

Pay special attention to keep the rubber seals at the door in the appropriate condition. They should always be clean.
If the device is not used for an extended period of time, remove clothes, clean the fridge and freezer chamber and dry them. The door should remain open.

REPLACING THE BULB

Before replacing the light bulb set the thermostat knob to the “0” position and disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply. Remove the food from the top shelf and pull shelf forward. A bulb is located at the rear of the thermostat housing. Open light cover. Twist off a burnt bulb, twist in a new one and replace the bulb cover.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Laudable sound of running water is normal for working compressor.
Laudable tapping is a reaction to sudden changes of temperature.
Hot compressor – during operation, the compressor’s temperature can reach 90°C
Hot side wall of the refrigerator – during operation, both sides of the refrigerator can achieve an average temperature of 55°C.
Brumous deposit appears on the outer part of the refrigerator. This is normal due to the high humidity. A freezer should be dried.

Check before calling for service:

Refrigerator stopped working

• thermostat knob is not set to ”0”.
• a plug is well inserted to the socket
• power supply is on
• the device starts working within 5 minutes after the last power off.

Refrigerator’s work is not effective

• too much food in the fridge or food arranged too tightly which prevents air flow
• the device is set in the sun an ambient temperature is too high
• fridge located near a radiator or other heat-emitting devices
• Food in the refrigerator/freezer is too warm
• not closed door of the refrigerator/freezer
• frequent opening of the door of the refrigerator/freezer
• fridge ventilation is insufficient. There can be an insufficient distance between the fridge and the surrounding walls/furniture/other devices.

Food in the refrigerator chamber is too much chilled

• position of thermostat is too high
• food with high water content was placed directly over the cold air inlets. This is not a symptom of incorrect device operation.

Refrigerator-freezer is too noisy

• the device is not level
• the device touches the wall.

If the above-mentioned advice does not solve the problem, contact the repair service. Don’t repair on your own.
