Instructions for Use
7
•
Before storing food in the refrigerator,
remove the excessive packaging (like
yoghurt in multi-package).
•
Pack systematically and make sure that
foodstuffs do not touch each other (various
odours may mix). Assure adequate air
circulation around packages.
•
Never store inflammable, volatile or
explosive substances.
•
Beverages with high alcohol percentage
shall be stored in tightly sealed bottles in
vertical position.
•
Food should not touch the rear wall of the
refrigerator!
•
Foods should be cooled down before storing.
•
Crispy and delicate foods should be stored
in the coldest parts of the refrigerator.
•
Try not to open the door too often.
•
Set the thermostat to the setting where lower
temperatures are reached. Set the
thermostat gradually as to avoid freezing of
the foods. Use a thermometer and measure
the temperature in the individual
compartments. Place the thermostat in a
glass vessel filled with water. Temperature
readings are most reliable few hour after
steady state is reached.
•
Some organic solutions like volatile oils in
lemon or orange peel, acid in butter etc. can
cause damages and when in contact with
plastic surfaces or gaskets for longer period
of time.
•
Unpleasant odor inside the refrigerator is a
sign that something is wrong with foods or
that your refrigerator needs cleaning.
Unpleasant odor can be eliminated or
reduced by washing the interior of the
refrigerator with a mild solution of water and
vinegar. We also recommend using
activated carbon filters to clean the air or to
neutralize odors.
•
If you plan a longer journey, make sure to
remove quickly perishable articles of food
out of the appliance before you leave.

Freezing Fresh Foods
•
Carefully select food you intend to freeze; it
should be of adequate quality and suitable
for freezing.
•
Use correct packaging and wrap it right.
−
The packaging should be air tight and
shouldn't leak since this could cause
substantial vitamin loss and dehydration
of foods.
−
Foils and bags should be soft enough to
tightly wrap around the foods.
•
When preparing foods to be frozen, consider
sanitary precautions.
•
Mark packages with following data: kind and
amount of foods and the date of loading.
•
It is most important that the food is frozen as
quickly as possible. Therefore we
recommend the size of the package not to
be too large and to be cooled before loading
into the freezer.
•
The amount of fresh foods that can be
loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is
indicated on the rating plate (freezing
capacity). If the loaded amount is too large,
the quality of freezing is reduced which
affects the quality of frozen foods.
Freezing Procedure
•
If you have a model without the
integrated switch for intensive cooling
,
turn the thermostat knob to position
