[. . . ] Take care of operating the freezer at a position of thermostatic control so that the inside temperature can never go above -18 °C, since temperature higher than this storing time of frozen foods can decrease. It is practical to make sure of faultless operation of the appliance daily so as to notice possible failure in time and prevent deterioration of frozen foods. Hints and ideas In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given about how to use the appliance to reach maximum energy saving and there is environmental information about the appliance as well. How to save energy Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place and near anything that gives off heat. Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film to avoid building 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 materials used on this appliance marked with the sympol are recyclable. 67 GB 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. 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). After breaking the circuit wash the appliance with lukewarm water then wipe it. 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. 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. 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. 69 GB 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. Problem Possible cause Solution Set the thermostat knob to higher position. Place the products in a way so that cold air could circulate among them. It is too warm in the Thermostatic control can be set wrongly. [. . . ] So as to avoid more severe damage, the defect must be brought to our attention immediately.
