How to save energy
The colder the ambient temperature of the appliance
is the less energy it uses.
Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place and near
anything that gives off heat.
Be sure that the condenser and the compressor are
well ventilated. Do not cover the sections where ven-
tilation is.
Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film to
avoid building up unnecessary frost.
Avoid products put in the freezer compartment to
touch foods already frozen.
Do not leave the door open longer than necessary
and avoid unnecessary openings.
Put warm foods into the appliance only when they are
at room temperature.
The condenser must be kept clean.
The appliance and environment
This appliance does not contain gasses which could dam-
age the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant circuit or insu-

pol are recyclable.
Maintenance
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber 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 and
needs more energy.
After removing the freezing shelf it is possible to scrape off
and remove smaller frost and ice with the enclosed ice
scraper.
The tray in figure is not a piece of accessories to the appli-
ance!
When ice coating is so thick that it can not be removed with
the frost scraper defrosting is necessary. Its frequency
depends on usage.
How to defrost it:
4-5 hours before starting defrosting turn the thermostatic
control knob to "SUPER" position so that the stored foods
can refrigerate well.
Break the circuit of the appliance.
Take the frozen foods out of the appliance and put them
into a basket lined with paper or cloth. Store them in a pos-
sibly cool place or replace them into a frozen or fresh food
compartment of a refrigerator.
Leave the door open.
Sweep off melting water, which gathers in the outlet chan-
nel practically formed in the bottom of the appliance, occa-
sionally with a cloth or sponge in direction of sides. It can
be removed if you put an adequately high tray in front of the
appliance, which defrost water will flow into.
Defrosting process can be made quicker by placing a pot
or dish filled with warm water to the freezing shelf.
After defrosting wipe the wet surfaces.
Apply voltage to the appliance.
Put the foods back.
Regular cleaning
It is practical to clean the inside of the freezer and defrost
it at a time.
Household cleaner or soap must not be used.
After breaking the circuit wash the appliance using luke-
warm water and wipe it.
Clean the door gasket with clean water.
After cleaning apply voltage to the appliance.
It is recommended to remove the dust and dirt collected
on the back of the appliance and the condenser once or
twice a year
.
When the refrigerator is not in use
In case the appliance will not be used for a long time fol-
low these steps:
Break the circuit of the appliance.
Remove foods from the refrigerator.
Defrost and clean it as written before.
Leave the door open to avoid a build up of air inside.
