Remaining small ice and frost stains on back plate
of the refrigerator after defrosting period is not
abnormal.
The freezer can not be equipped with automatic
defrosting set since the deep-frozen and frozen
foods do not endure melting temperature.
When small frost and ice occurs scrape off and
remove frost and ice coating with the supplied
plastic scraper.
The tray in figure is not a piece of accessories to
the appliance!
When ice coating is so thick that it cannot be
removed with the plastic scraper, the cooling plate
has to be defrosted. Frequency of defrosting
depends on usage (generally 2-3 times a year).
Take the frozen foods out of the appliance, and put
them into a basket lined with paper or cloth. Store
them in a possibly cool place or replace them into
another refrigerator.
Pull out the mains plug from the mains socket, so
both parts of the appliance are out of operation.
Open the doors of both parts of the appliance and
clean the refrigerator according to Regular
cleaning. Maintain and clean the freezer as
following:
Sweep the melting water with a cloth or sponge
off the cooling plate. The melting water swept
down gathers in the bottom of the appliance and
can be removed with a hygroscopic cloth or a
sponge
Wipe the surfaces after defrosting.
Put the mains plug into the mains socket and put
foods taken out back to their places.
It is recommended to operate the appliance at the
highest position of the thermostatic control for
some hours so that it can reach the sufficient
storing temperature as soon as possible.

Regular cleaning

It is recommended to wash the inside of the
refrigerator in 3-4 weeks time using lukewarm
water then wipe it (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 with
lukewarm water then 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 refrigerator and the
condenser and to clean the evaporative tray on top
of the compressor once or twice a year.

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.
Remove foods from the refrigerator.
Defrost and clean it as written before.
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 front hook and at the same time slide the
cover in the direction indicated by horizontal
arrow (1), than remove cover by pulling it gently
down as indicated by arrow (2). So the bulb can be
replaced. (Bulb type: 230-240 V, 15 W, F 14
thread)
After changing the bulb replace the cover, snap it
in place and apply voltage to the appliance.

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).

In as much as the advice d oes not lead to result, call the nearest brand-mark service.
This is not trouble, but means normal operation.
!
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.
