How to save energy

Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place near
anything that gives off heat.
Be sure that the condenser and the compressor
are well ventillated. Do not cover the sections
where ventilation is.
Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling
film to avoid bulding up unnecessary frost.
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.
Keep the condenser clean.

The appliance and environment

This appliance does not contain gasses 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
applince.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it
reduces cooling efficiency as the temperetaure
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 termostatic 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.
Clean the melting water outlet with the supplied pipe
scraper that can be seen in the figure. The pipe
scraper has to be stored in the outlet.
