Turn on the appliance
•
On first switch-on, the appliance should be operated continuously for at least 24 hours until it has cooled
to a sufficient temperature.
•
During this time do not open the door too often. Fill the appliance with foods.
•
If you turn off or unplug the appliance, wait at least 5 minutes before restarting or turning it on to avoid
damage to the compressor.
•
Your refrigerator is designed to operate at the ambient temperature specified in standards according to
the climatic class indicated on the rating plate. We do not recommend operating the refrigerator in an
environment that is not within the stated range due to effect on its efficiency.

STORING FOOD
Cooling compartment
•
To reduce moisture and subsequent ice build-up, never put liquid into the refrigerator in unsealed
containers. Frost tends to concentrate in the coolest parts of the evaporator. Storing uncovered liquids
results in a more frequent need for defrosting.
•
Never put warm foods in the refrigerator. These should first cool down at room temperature and then be
placed so as to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator.
•
Foods or food containers should not touch the back wall of the refrigerator because they could freeze to
the wall. Do not keep regularly opening the door of the refrigerator.
•
Meat and clean fish (packed in a package or plastic foil) can be placed in the refrigerator, which can be
used in 1–2 days.
•
Fruit and vegetables without packaging can be placed in the part designated for fresh fruit and vegetables.
•
Under normal operating conditions, it is sufficient to adjust the temperature of the refrigerator to +4 °C.
•
The temperature of the cooling compartment should be in the range of 0–8 °C, fresh foods are frozen
and rotten at temperatures below 0 °C, and bacteria increase and food spoils at temperatures above 8 °C.
•
Do not refrigerate hot foods, let them cool to room temperature. Hot foods increase the temperature of
the refrigerator and can cause food poisoning or unnecessary food spoilage.
•
Meat, fish and similar foods should be stored in chiller and vegetables in the vegetable compartment (if
applicable).
•
Do not store meat products with fruit and vegetables to avoid cross-contamination.
•
Food in a refrigerator should be stored in closed containers or other suitable packaging so as not to release
odours and moisture into the refrigerator.
Freezer compartment
•
The freezer is designated for the storage of food frozen at very low temperature, long-term storage of
frozen food, and for the production of ice.
•
Only use the shelves in the door of the freezer to store frozen food, not for storing hot food designated
for freezing.
•
Do not put fresh and frozen food next to each other. The frozen food may thaw.
