About the control on the refrigerator
Control Settings
The temperature control maintains the temperature in the refrigerator. Setting the control at
“1”
is the
warmest setting. Setting the control at
“7”
is the coldest setting. Initially set the Control at
“4”
.
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the operating temperature. If you want a colder or warmer
temperature, move the dial one setting at a time. Moving the control to
“0”
stops cooling but does not
turn off the power to the refrigerator. Setting the control too high may cause freezing in the refrigerator
depending on the room temperature.
Operation - Temperature regulation
To switch on the appliance, turn the thermostat knob clockwise from „0“ (stop) to the required cooling
temperature:
The bigger the number is, the lower the temperature will be.
An intermediate thermostat setting is generally recommended.
Storing food and drink
For optimal use of the refrigerator compartment observe the following instructions:
1. Never put hot liquids or food in the refrigerator;
2. Cover or wrap food prior to storage.
3. Arrange food so that air can circulate freely inside the compartment.
Meat (all types): Wrap in protective material and store time should be less than two days.
Cooked food, cold meals etc. must be covered well and stored in any position in the refrigerator.
Fruit and vegetables should be cleaned and stored in the relative drawer.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator unless wrapped first.
Storing frozen food/freezing fresh food
Appliances with compartments can be used to store frozen food for a maximum time of one month.
1. The interval between purchase and placing the food in the freezer should be as short as possible.
2. Never exceed the storage period indicated on the food packaging.
3. Only open the freezer door when necessary and as quick as possible.
In the event of operation after prolonged periods of disuse, switch on the appliance under no-load
conditions for 2-3 hours taking care to set the thermostat knob to the highest setting, then place food
in the refrigerator as required and adjust the thermostat knob to an intermediate setting.
