[. . . ] · · Mounting Instructions Integrated appliances are equipped with instructions for mounting the appliance into the kitchen unit. Instructions for Use 11 Tips for Energy Saving · Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, mind to close it as soon as possible. This is especially important if you have an upright model. Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance). [. . . ] Be careful not to damage the tubes on the rear wall of the appliance (danger of pollution). · Storing Time During Power Supply Interruption Avoid opening the freezer in case of failure or power supply interruption!In case the interruption is extended over longer period of Placing and Installation Choosing the Right Place Place the appliance in a dry and regularly ventilated room. Allowed ambient temperature depends on the model (class) of the appliance and is stated on the rating plate of the appliance. Never place the appliance near heat emitting devices (e. g. cooker, radiator, water heater and similar devices) and do not expose it to direct sunlight. 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 an appropriate insulation. Behind the appliance there should be free space at least 200 cm² wide and above the appliance the high kitchen units should be at least 5 cm away from the appliance in order to assure adequate ventilation of the condenser unit. Class SN (sub-normal) N (normal) ST (sub-tropical) T (tropical) Ambient temparature 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 Connect the appliance with the cable and plug to the power supply socket outlet with a ground terminal (safety socket). Required nominal voltage and frequency are indicated in 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 %. Instructions for Use 13 Description of the Appliance Freezing Compartment (1) is used for freezing fresh foods. Cold accumulators (7) (some models only) In the upper part of the freezing compartment there are two cold accumulators. Before switching on the freezer for the first time, remove the accumulators and insert them again after the red light is off. · Both accumulators maintain uniform temperature of frozen foods therefore assuring higher quality of foods and reducing energy consumption. · If you remove the accumulators, the compartment can be used for freezing fruits (for example berries) or for ice making. · These accumulators can as well be used for maintaining lower temperatures of foods and bottles, for example when you make a trip or a picnic. Storing Compartment (2) is used for storing packages of frozen foods. Control Panel (3) See Operation Controls Indicating Pointers (4) (some models only) On the front side of the baskets and on the freezing compartment door there are movable pointers, that will help you keep order in the appliance. Use two pointers of the same colour - one for the kind of food and the other for the months the package was loaded into the appliance. Defrost Water Outlet (5) (See Cleaning and Maintenance). NOTE: The appliance can be equipped with various accesories, depending on the model of the appliance. Instructions for Use Tray (6) for storage of frozen food 14 Operation Control The freezer is controlled with the thermostat knob. Temperature Selection When the freezer operates automatically, the interior temperature is controlled by the thermostat. The most suitable thermostat position is in the middle between max and min. We recommend setting the thermostat on positions towards max only in case you want to accelerate cooling, as for example before loading smaller amounts of fresh foods or when the operation mode shall correspond to the ambient temperature. Thermostat settings towards min help you save energy provided that the freezer is loaded with smaller amount of frozen foods. Changes of the ambient temperature affects temperature in the interior of the appliance. Choose correct setting of the thermostat knob. 1. [. . . ] 17 The Red Light is On · The door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too long. Instructions for Use · The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor and condenser (assure adequate air circulation behind the appliance and wipe the dust from the condenser). · The 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 cooling, the underpressure seals the door. After few minutes (1-3), the door can easily be opened. Noise Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is enabled by the cooling 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. [. . . ]
