We hope it will successfully serve its purpose for many years. The appliance is intended solely for household use. Refrigerator with freezer is for domestic use only. The lower part of the appliance is refrigerator and is used for storing fresh foods at the temperature of 0°C and higher. The upper part is freezer and is used for freezing fresh foods and storing frozen foods for longer periods of time (up to one year, depending on the kind of foods you store). [. . . ] Regularly check the defrosting water outlet and the channel because they should never be clogged (as for example with food residues). If clogged, use a plastic straw to clean it. Shelf (1) The shelf may be placed randomly on any of the guide slots in the interior of the appliance. In case you may wish to alter the position of the shelf: − lift the shelf by hand and pull it towards you until it reaches the crack in the guide slot; 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. 5 Instructions for Use 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 switched on when the door is opened. Operation of the light does not depend on the position of the thermostat knob. Operation control Appliance operation is controlled with the thermostat knob located in the upper right part inside the appliance. Turn the knob from the STOP (0) position towards 7 and backwards. Place the thermometer in a glass vessel filled with water. Temperature readings are most reliable a few hours after a steady state is reached. • Some organic solutions like volatile oils in lemon or orange peel, acid in butter etc. could cause damage; when in prolonged contact with plastic surfaces or gaskets they can even cause accelerated ageing of the plastic material. • Unpleasant odour inside the refrigerator is a sign that something is wrong with the food or that your refrigerator needs cleaning. • Unpleasant odour can be eliminated or reduced by washing the interior of the refrigerator with a mild solution of water and vinegar. • We also recommend using activated carbon filters to clean the air or to neutralize the odours. • If you plan a longer journey, make sure to remove quickly perishable articles of food from the appliance before you leave.

Therefore we recommend the size of the package not to be too large and to be cooled before loading into the freezer. [. . . ] See Ice formation on the inner rear wall. Noise Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is enabled by the cooling system with a compressor which produces some 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. This is a normal condition and it has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance. [. . . ]
