Instructions for Use
11
choose only adequately packed foods provided
with complete data and stored in freezers
where the temperature is not higher than -
18°C. Do not buy packages of food covered
with frost layer. This indicates that the package
was thawed before at least once. Be careful
that packages don't start to thaw, as the
temperature raise reduces the quality of foods.

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
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).
