[. . . ] GB Instructions for use Refrigerator-freezer We thank you for the confidence you have shown by purchasing our appliance. We wish you a lot of pleasure using the appliance. The refrigerator-freezer (hereinafter referred to as the appliance) consists of two parts: the upper part is the refrigerator compartment, and the lower part is the freezer compartment – freezer chest. The refrigerator compartment is intended for use in households, for storing fresh food at temperatures higher than 0°C. [. . . ] Signal light D will go off when the freezer temperature drops to a level that no longer presents food spoilage hazard. • Acoustic alarm will be activated every 24 hours if the freezer temperature is still not low enough and there is danger of food spoilage. Sound alarm will be deactivated automatically when the freezer temperature drops to a level that no longer presents food spoilage hazard. • After switching on the appliance for the first time, there is a 24-hour delay in the temperature alarm operation to allow the freezer to reach the set temperature and to prevent unnecessary alarm activation. Digital display Displays actual temperature in the refrigerator (positive single digit number) or in the freezer (negative two-digit number). While the temperature is being set, the display will flash, indicating the currently selected setting. The display will also flash when the freezer temperature rises to a critical level that presents food spoilage hazard. 260437 16 Operating the mechanically controlled appliance CONTROL UNIT IV Appliance with Dual Compressor System A B C D Temperature setting and on/off knob for the freezer compartment Temperature setting and on/off knob for the refrigerator compartment Lighting on/off key Red LED: excessive temperature warning 17 260437 Turning the appliance on/off Turning on the freezer: rotate the thermostat knob A in clockwise direction towards the Max position. Turning off: rotate the A knob back until the arrow is aligned symbol (the appliance is still powered). with the Turning on the refrigerator: rotate the thermostat knob B in clockwise direction towards the Max position. Turning off: rotate the B knob back until the arrow is aligned symbol (the appliance is still powered). with the Setting the temperature in the appliance Set the temperature in the freezer compartment by rotating the A knob from Mix. In order to set the refrigerator compartment temperature, rotate the B knob between Min and Max position. • Recommended setting for both thermostat knobs is halfway between the Min and Max mark. • A change in the environment temperature will also affect the temperature in the appliance. Hence, thermostat knob setting should be adjusted accordingly. Settings closer to the Max mark correspond to lower temperatures in the appliance (cooler air) and settings closer to the Min position correspond to higher temperatures. • Red LED (D) will light up when the temperature in the freezer compartment rises to a level that may be detrimental to the food; it will go off as soon as the temperature drops to a safe level (see “Troubleshooting”). 260437 18 CONTROL UNIT V Appliance with a single compressor, without a fan A Temperature setting and on/off knob B Illumination on/off button 19 260437 Appliance with a single compressor, with a fan A Temperature setting and on/off knob B Illumination on/off button 260437 20 Turning the appliance on/off Turn on: rotate the thermostat knob A in clockwise direction towards the Max position. Turn off: rotate the thermostat knob A back into a position (in this case, the where the arrow is pointing at the symbol appliance is still powered). Setting the appliance temperature • Set the desired refrigerator compartment temperature by rotating the A knob so that the arrow is pointing to a position between the Min. • The setting recommended by the manufacturer is in the middle, between the Min and Max signs. • Any change in the environment temperature will affect the temperature inside the appliance. Hence, thermostat setting should be adjusted in such cases. Setting the thermostat to a position closer to the Max sign increase the temperature (cooler); setting it to a position closer to the Min sign will decrease the temperature (warmer). • If the temperature of the environment in which the appliance is installed is lower than 16°C, we recommend setting the thermostat button to the Max. position. 21 260437 Fan (only with some models) • The fan contributes to more equal distribution of temperature and faster cooling, as well as reduces formation of dew on the shelves. [. . . ] • Warm food was placed in the refrigerator. • Food or a container are in contact with the refrigerator interior back wall. If the seal is dirty or damaged, clean it or replace it. • Blocked water discharge opening; or water from thawed ice is dripping past the water collection trough. [. . . ]
