[. . . ] 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 %. Adjusting the height of the appliance The appliance is equipped with four adjustable legs, so that the height may be adjusted from 82 to 90 cm. The height must be adjusted prior 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 3 Description of the Appliance Shelf (1) The shelf may be placed randomly upon any of the guide slots within the interior of the appliance. The shelf is placed upon the top four guides by lowering the front section of the shelf downwards, the rear of the shelf is placed upon the guide slot and the shelf is inserted in the guide in the inclined position. The shelf is placed upon the top four guides by lifting the front section of the shelf upwards, the rear of the shelf is placed upon the guide slot and the shelf is inserted in the guide in the inclined position. In case you may wish to remove the shelf from the appliance lift the shelf by hand at the rear and pull it out in the opposite procedure. Glass shelves are protected with plastic edge frames. Quickly perishable food should be stored on the back i. e. the coldest part of the shelves. The interior of the refrigerator is cooled with cooling plate incorporated in the rear wall. Under the plate there is a channel and an outlet for defrost water. Regularly check the defrost water outlet and the channel, because they should never be clogged (as for example with food rests). If clogged, use a plastic straw and clean it. Crisp tray and serving tray (3) The tray at the bottom of the refrigerator is covered with the serving tray. This cover protects the stored fruit and vegetables from excessive drying. Door Liner The door liner consists of various shelves or holders used for storing eggs, cheese, butter and yogurt as well as other smaller packages, tubes, cans etc. The lower shelf is used for storing bottles. Illumination in the Interior of the Refrigerator The light for illuminating the interior of the appliance is on, when the door is opened. The operation of the light does not depend on the position of the thermostat knob. Defrost Water Outlet (2) Operation Control The appliance is controlled with thermostat knob, situated in the right upper part inside the appliance. Turn the knob from STOP (0) position towards 7 and backwards. • In STOP (0) position the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is switched off), yet power supply is not interrupted (the light is on, when you open the refrigerator door). • Temperature in the refrigerator also depends on how often the door is opened. Temperature Selection • Higher settings on the knob (towards 7) mean lower temperatures (colder) in all three compartments of the appliance. Temperature in the interior of the appliance may even drop below 0°C. Higher settings should be used only in case higher temperature is recommended or required. When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend medium setting. [. . . ] • Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance with fresh foods. • Insufficient cooling of compressor and condenser. Check the air circulation through the bottom rail openings and if necessary clean or vacuum the dust from the condenser. See Section Cleaning and Maintenance. Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall Until the water is drained through the hole in the rear and into the receptacle at the bottom of the appliance, normal automatic defrosting of the appliance is guaranteed.
