Instructions for Use

•
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
lowest 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 and orange peel, acid in butter etc.
can cause damages 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.
•
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
Storing Frozen Foods
Frozen foods can be stored on the bottom of
the appliance or on the shelf.
Commercially Frozen Foods
The storage time and the recommended
temperature for storing commercially frozen
foods are indicated on the packaging. For
storing and using consider the manufacturer's
instruction. When shopping, be careful and
