Defrosting Frozen Food

Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be
used as soon as possible. Cold air preserves
the food but it does not destroy
microorganisms which rapidly activate after
defrosting and make foods perishable. Partial
defrosting reduces the nutritional value of
foods, especially of fruits, vegetables and
ready-made meals.

How to make ice cubes

(certain models only)
Recommended thermostat position for ice
making is on the middle setting. Fill two thirds
of the ice tray with cold water or any other
liquid convenient for freezing. Insert the ice tray

into the guides or on the cooling plate.
Time required for the ice to form, largely
depends on ambient temperature, thermostat
setting and on how often you open the door.
It usually takes 2-6 hours (depends on which
model of refrigerator you have). With smaller
refrigerators we recommend you make a stock
of ice cubes (store them in a separate plastic
box). The easiest way to empty the ice tray is
to turn the tray around, pour it with cold water
and slightly twist it (bend it).

Changing the Direction of Opening the Door

If you find the direction of opening the door on
your appliance inconvenient, you can change
it. Holes on the opposite side have already
been prepared in the factory and are now
plugged.



Unscrew the lower hinge with foot and
remove the door ot the appliance.



Unscrew the other foot and fix it on the place
where previously was the hinge with the foot.



Rotate the fastener having the function of
the upper hinge counter clockwise, take it off
and replace it on the opposite side of the
door.



Put the door on the fastener having the
function of the upper hinge.



Put the fastener with foot of the lower hinge
(with a washer) into the plastic corner with a
hole and fix the lower hinge.



Unscrew the handle and replace it on the
opposite side (not for handles mouinted
horizontally). Some screws are covered with
caps. Take them off before undoing the
screws.



Plug the remaining holes with decorative
caps.
