Door Liner

The door liner consists of various shelves or holders used for
storing eggs, cheese, butter and yogurt as well as other
smaller packages, tubes, cans etc.
The lower shelf is used for storing bottles.

Illumination in the Interior of the Refrigerator

The light for illuminating the interior of the appliance is on,
when the door is opened. The operation of the light does not
depend on the position of the thermostat knob.

Freezer (B)

Freezer is used for freezing fresh foods and for storing already
frozen foods.
Openings by the side of drawer enable easier handling and
removal of the drawer. When removing the drawer from the
appliance slightly lift the front end and pull it out.

Freezing Compartment (4)

is used for freezing fresh foods.

Storing Compartment (5)

is used for storing packages of frozen foods.

Defrost Water Outlet (6)

(See Cleaning and Maintenance).

The fan (7)

 (certain models only)

 



The fan distributes evenly the inside temperature and
reduces dew on storage shelf surfaces.
 When the refrigerator door is opened, the fan stops
operating.



It is recommended to switch the fan on:



when the ambient temperature in the room is increased
(above 30°C),



in case of increased humidity (during summer season).



Switching the fan on/off

 ON=

 OFF=

 0

 

 Note: Energy consumption is increased during fan operation.
 

 

NOTE:



The appliance can be equipped with various accesories,
depending on the model of the appliance.



Various accesories (spice container, tube holder or
additional shelves) can be bought in authorized centres.

Operation Control

The appliance is controlled with thermostat knob, situated in
the right upper part inside the refrigerator. Turn the knob
clockwise from 

STOP 

position towards 

and backwards.

Temperature Selection



Higher settings on the knob (towards 

7

) mean lower

temperatures (colder) in all compartments of the appliance.
At higher settings temperature in the interior of the appliance
may even drop below 0°C.
When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend
medium setting.



Changes of the ambient temprature affect temperature in the
interior of the appliance
(choose correct setting of the thermostat knob).



In 

STOP 

position the appliance does not operate (the

cooling system is switched off), yet power supply is not
interrupted (the light is on, when you open the refrigerator
door).



When the fan is on (only for models with built-in fan), we
recommend new setting of temperature in the appliance.

Use

Storing Fresh Foods

Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct
temperature and taking into account hygienic precautions will
substantially influence the quality of the food stored.



Foods to be stored in the refrigerator should be properly
packed as to prevent mixing various moisture degrees and
odors (in polyethylene bags or sheet, aluminium foil, wax
paper), or stored in covered containers or bottles.



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 damage and when in
contact with plastic surfaces or gaskets for longer period of
time they can cause accelerated ageing of the plastic material.



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.
