[. . . ] The symbols below help you to find things more easily: Safety precautions Warnings and information at this symbol serve safety for you and your appliance. Hints, useful information Environmental information Symbol for ideas At this symbol ideas can be found according to food and its storing. The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. [. . . ] If the ice tray freezes to the compartment, avoid using metal tools or knife to take it out as the cooling system can be damaged. 33 EN The appliance and environment This appliance does not contain gases which could damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant circuit or insulation materials. The appliance shall not be discarded together with the urban refuse and rubbish. Avoid damaging the cooling unit, especially at the rear near the heat exchanger. Information on your local disposal sites may be obtained from your municipal authorities. The materials used on this appliance marked with the sympol are recyclable. Maintenance Defrosting Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chambers in form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the appliance. Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as the temperature increases in the cooling chambers, they need more energy. At this type of appliance defrosting the cooling surface of the refrigerator is automatic without any external intervention. The thermostatic control interrupts the operation of compressor at regular intervals for more or less time during this cooling is interrupted - the temperature of the cooling surface goes above 0°C due to interior heating load of the compartment, so defrosting occurs. When the surface temperature of the cooling surface has reached +3 - +4 °C the thermostatic control restarts operation of the system. Melting water flows through defrost water outlet leaded through the back into the evaporator tray maintained on the top of compressor and evaporates due to its warmth. Check and clean the outlet of melting water coming during defrosting regularly - a label inside the appliance warns you for this. If it is clogged the melting water gathered can cause earlier failure as it can go to the insulating of the appliance. After breaking the circuit wash the appliance with lukewarm water then wipe it. After cleaning apply voltage to the appliance. It is recommended to remove the dust and dirt collected on the back of the refrigerator and the condenser and to clean the evaporative tray on top of the compressor once or twice a year. If something does not work During operation of the appliance some smaller but annoying trouble can often occur, which does not require calling a technician out. In the following chart information is given about them to avoid unnecessary charges on service. We draw your attention that operation of appliance goes with certain sounds (compressor- and circulating sound). This is not trouble, this goes together with the operation of the appliance. We draw it to your attention again that the appliance operates discontinuously, so the stopping of compressor does not mean being no-current. That is why you must not touch the electrical parts of the appliance before breaking the circuit. When the refrigerator is not in use In case the appliance will not be used for a long time follow these steps: Break the circuit of the appliance. Leave the door open to avoid a build up of air inside. Trouble shooting How to change the bulb Should the light fail to work you can change it as below: Break the circuit of the appliance. Press the rear hook (1) and at the same time slide the cover in the direction indicated by the arrow (2). (Bulb type: T 25 230-240 V, 25 W, E 14 thread) After changing the bulb replace the cover, snap it in place and apply voltage to the appliance. 35 EN Problem Possible cause Solution Set the thermostat knob to higher position. [. . . ] (fig. 3) Replace the plugs (u) on the other side. Remove the covering nails (3 pieces) (n, k) of the double door holder on the left side and put them to the other side. (fig. 2) Fit the pin of the double door hinge (m) into the left drill of the freezer door. (fig. 2) Fit the freezer door to the lower door hinge pin (f). [. . . ]
