not forget to reset the thermostatic control to the suitable
position.
Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under running
water then twist or hit it. If the ice tray freezes to the com-
partment, avoid using metal tools or knife to take it out as the
cooling system can be damaged.
Some useful information and
advice
The variable shelves are worth paying attention to, which
increases the usability of the fresh food compartment
considerably. Rearranging the shelves is also possible
when the door is open at an angle of 90° .
After opening and closing the door of freezer vacuum will
rise inside the appliance because of the low temperature.
So wait 2-3 minutes after closing the door - if you want to
open it again - while inner pressure equalises.
Take care of opening the freezer at a position of thermo-
static control so that the inside temperature can never be
warmer than -18°C.
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.
Normal operating sounds:
A thermostat controls the compressor and you will
hear a faint click when thermostat cuts in and out.
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sound when
the refrigerant is pumped through the coils at the
rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being
pumped round and you will hear a whirring sound or
pulsating noise from the compressor.
The fridge evaporator (this part cool down the fridge
section) is foamed into the cabinet. The temperature
of this part changing during its work, and parallel with
this its dimensions are slightly changing, too. These
changes might cause a cracking noise, which is a
natural, harmless phenomenon.
Should you want to check the temperature of food stored
in the refrigerator, set the thermostat knob into a medium
position, place a glass of water centrally in the cabinet,
and put a proper thermometer with an accuracy of +/-
1°C into it. If after 6 hours you measure a value between
+3°C and +8°C, the refrigerator works properly. The
measuring shall be performed under steady-stated condi-
tions (without changing the load).
If the freezer temperature is measured using a thermome-
ter, put it between the products since this will reflect the
real temperature in the frozen products.
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 near any-
thing 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
