[. . . ] The appliance should be positioned at least 3 cm away from the electric or gas cooker and at least 30 cm away from the oil or coal stove. If this is not possible, use appropriate insulation. Class SN (subnormal) N (normal) ST (sub-tropical) T (tropical) Ambient temperature from + 10°C to + 32°C from + 16°C to + 32°C from + 16°C to + 38°C from + 16°C to + 43°C Connection to power supply Use the cable and plug to connect the appliance to the power supply socket with a ground terminal (safety socket). Required nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the rating plate. The connections to the mains supply and earthing have to be made according to currently relevant standards and regulations. The appliance resists temporary voltage fluctuations of up to +/- 6%. Adjusting the height of the appliance The appliance is equipped with four adjustable legs which allow adjusting the height from 82 to 90 cm. The height must be adjusted prior to building the appliance into the opening slot, and it should be set at such height that the top panel of the appliance fits exactly below the kitchen worktop (see Mounting Instructions). Instructions for Use 11 Description of the appliance B A 1 In case you may wish to remove the shelf from the appliance:  lift the shelf by hand and pull it towards you until it reaches the crack in the guide slot;  at the guide interruption point lift the left side of the shelf up and pull it out from the appliance in the inclined position,  reinsertion is carried out in the opposite procedure. Glass shelves are protected with plastic edge frames. Quickly perishable food should be stored closer to the back wall, i. e. in the coldest part of the shelves. 2 3 Refrigerator (A) Refrigerator is used for storing fresh foods for few days. Freezer (B) Freezer is used for freezing fresh foods and for storing already frozen foods. Opening the freezer door Defrosting water outlet (2) The interior of the refrigerator is cooled with a cooling plate incorporated in the rear wall. Under the plate there are a channel and an outlet for defrosting water. Set the thermostat gradually to avoid freezing of the food. Use a thermometer to measure the temperature in the individual compartments. Place the thermometer in a glass vessel filled with water. Temperature readings are most reliable a few hours after a steady state is reached. 24 hours from the time when fresh food was put in the appliance turn the thermostat dial to the operating temperature (see temperature selection). x 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. x For freezing smaller amount of foods (up to 1 kg) there is no need to change the thermostat setting (see Temperature Selection). Instructions for Use 13 Storing frozen food Store the frozen food in the freezer. Commercially frozen food The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing commercially frozen foods are indicated on the packaging. For storing and using consider the manufacturer's instruction. When shopping, be careful and choose only adequately packed foods provided with complete data and stored in freezers where the temperature is not higher than 18°C. Do not buy packages of food covered with frost layer. This indicates that the package was thawed before at least once. [. . . ] 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;  an item is touching the inner back wall. The appliance fails to operate after connecting to the mains supply x 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 x The door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too long. x The door is not properly closed (the door may sag; the gasket may be polluted or damaged). x Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance with fresh food. x Insufficient cooling of compressor and condenser.
