Information regarding normal and unusual operating noises.
This appliance is a household unit comprising a refrigerator (upper part) and a freezer (lower part). The refrigerator is designed for domestic use, storing fresh foods at 0°C and above. The freezer is also for domestic use, intended for freezing fresh foods and storing frozen foods for up to one year, depending on the food type.
Before connecting to the mains supply, allow the appliance to stand for approximately 2 hours to reduce the possibility of malfunctions in the cooling system due to transport handling. Thoroughly clean the appliance, especially the interior. If interior accessories are not correctly placed, rearrange them as described in the "Description of the Appliance" chapter.
Instructions for Use: These instructions are for the user, describing the appliance and its correct and safe use. They cover various types/models, so some functions and accessories described may not be present on your specific appliance.
Environmental Care: The product uses environmentally friendly packaging, which is recyclable. Packaging materials are clearly marked. The instructions are printed on recycled or chlorine-free bleached paper. When the appliance reaches the end of its life, contact an authorized service agent for proper disposal to minimize environmental impact.
Energy Saving Tips:
If replacing an old appliance with a lock, ensure the lock is broken to prevent children from becoming trapped. The appliance must be correctly connected to the mains supply. Discard food with strange smells or colors as it may be spoiled and dangerous. Disconnect the appliance from power before repairs (only by qualified technicians), cleaning, or bulb replacement. Do not use electric devices (e.g., hair dryers) or sharp tools to defrost or scrape ice. Protect the rear wall (condenser unit or tubes) and other parts of the refrigerating system from damage during movement. The refrigerating system contains refrigerant and oil, so handle with care and dispose of according to environmental regulations. A heating element around the rim prevents the door gasket from freezing to the freezer housing. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, service agent, or a qualified person to avoid hazards. The rating plate is located inside the appliance or on the rear wall.
Disposal of Worn Out Appliance: When the appliance is no longer functional, dispose of it properly. If it has a lock, break it to prevent accidents. The refrigerating system contains refrigerant and insulating substances that require separate treatment; contact an authorized service agent or specialized servicing center. Avoid damaging the tubes on the rear wall to prevent pollution.
Storing Time During Power Supply Interruption: Do not open the freezer during a power failure to prevent warm air intrusion.
Choosing the Right Place: Place the appliance in a dry, well-ventilated room. The allowed ambient temperature depends on the appliance's class (indicated on the rating plate). Avoid placing it near heat-emitting devices (cookers, radiators, water heaters) or direct sunlight. Maintain at least 3 cm distance from electric/gas cookers and 30 cm from oil/coal stoves; use insulation if necessary. Ensure at least 200 cm² of free space behind the appliance and 5 cm above it (for high kitchen units) for adequate condenser ventilation.
Ambient Temperature Classes:
Placing the Appliance: Place the appliance firmly on a solid base. Some models have adjustable feet for leveling. Two spacers attached to the upper edge of the condenser must be fitted to prevent the appliance from being installed too close to the wall. Turn and fix spacers according to the condenser's distance from the wall.
Connection to Power Supply: Connect the appliance to a grounded power supply socket outlet using the provided cable and plug. The required nominal voltage and frequency are on the rating plate. Connections must comply with current standards and regulations. The appliance tolerates temporary voltage fluctuations of -15% to +10%.
Refrigerator (A): Used for storing fresh foods for a few days.
Freezer (B): Used for freezing fresh foods and storing already frozen foods.
Freezer (B) Control: Controlled by a thermostat knob in the upper right part inside the refrigerator. Turn clockwise from STOP (0) towards 7 and backwards.
Temperature Selection:
Storing Fresh Foods: Proper use, adequate packing, correct temperature, and hygienic precautions significantly influence food quality.
Fresh Food Storage Time (in days):
Operation Control: The freezer is controlled by two switches and a thermostat knob in the upper part.
Control Panel:
Switching On the Empty Freezer: Turn on the freezer. The sound alarm will activate due to inappropriate temperature; press the alarm button to switch it off. Set the mode selection switch to continuous operation (all three signal lamps on). Place fresh food into the freezer several hours after the red signal lamp turns off.
Freezing Fresh Foods: Proper use, adequate packing, correct temperature, and hygienic precautions are crucial for freezing food quality.
Freezing Procedure:
Storing Frozen Foods: Store frozen packages in baskets. If baskets are removed, packages can be stored directly on cooling shelves.
Storing Commercially Frozen Foods: Storage time and recommended temperature are on the packaging. Follow manufacturer's instructions. When shopping, choose adequately packed foods with complete data, stored in freezers at -18°C or lower. Avoid packages with frost, indicating prior thawing. Temperature rise shortens storage time.
Frozen Food Storage Time (in months):
Defrosting of Frozen Food: Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as possible. Cold air preserves food but doesn't destroy microorganisms, which rapidly activate after defrosting, making food perishable. Partial defrosting reduces nutritional value, especially for fruits, vegetables, and ready-made meals.
If the door opening direction is inconvenient, it can be changed. Holes on the opposite side are factory-prepared.
Diagram Components:
Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator: The refrigerator automatically defrosts; ice on the inner back wall melts during compressor off-cycles, and water drains through an outlet into a pan above the compressor, where it evaporates.
Freezer Defrosting: Defrost the freezer when the frost layer is 3-5 mm thick.
Cleaning the Appliance: Disconnect power before cleaning.
Switch Off the Appliance When Not In Use: If not using for a long period, set the refrigerator thermostat knob to STOP (0), switch off the freezer ON/OFF switch, disconnect power, remove food, defrost, and clean. Leave the door slightly open.
Some issues can arise from improper handling and can be easily resolved.

Noise: Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances produces noise from the compressor. Noise level depends on placement, usage, and age.
Note: The manufacturer reserves the right to alter specifications without influencing appliance operation.
