The refrigerator is equipped with a 5 minute delay function, which protects the compressor against
damage, for the situation where it is disconnected from the power source or there is an electrical power
outage. The compressor will start after 5 minutes, after it is connected to the power source or after
electrical power is restored.
The temperature needs to be set based on:
Temperature in the room where the appliance is located.
Amount of food stored.
Number of times the appliance is opened.
We recommend the middle settings. Soon you will fi nd out the optimal setting for your requirements.
A correct temperature setting is important for storing food. Food spoils very quickly because of micro-
organisms, which is possible to prevent or delay by the use of a correct storage temperature. Temperature
aff ects the growth rate of the micro-organisms. These processes are slowed down by a declining temperature.
For this reason we recommend the middle settings of the temperature control knob.
Freezer
Use the freezer for long-term storage of frozen food and to make ice.
If you want a freezer with the maximum freezing capacity:
After moving frozen food from the top rack to one of the other ones, use the super freezing mode. The freezer
will automatically turn off the super freezing mode after 24 hours. Place the food you wish to freeze into the
top freezer rack careful not to exceed the maximum freezing capacity of your freezer. (The capacity of your
refrigerator is: freezing 13kg at 25°C and 7.5kg at 32°C). Then activate the super freezing mode. After it is frozen,
you may place the food next to other already frozen food (at least 24 hours after the second activation of the
super freezing mode).
If you wish to freeze approx. 3 kg of food:
It is best to place the food separately from already frozen food and to subsequently activate the super freezing
mode. You can place the food next to each other only once they are frozen (no sooner than 24 hours).
Do not place food intended for freezing next to already frozen food.
Food intended for freezing (meat, minced meat, fi sh, etc.) should be frozen separated into portions so that
later it is easy to consume.
Do not refreeze food that has thawed. You could endanger your health and cause food poisoning.
Do not place hot meals into the freezer until they cool down. This could ruin the food that is already frozen
in the freezer.
When purchasing frozen food check that their packaging is not damaged.
When storing frozen food you should follow the storage conditions on the packaging. If none are available,
consume the food as soon as possible.
Transport frozen food without damaging it and place it inside the freezer as soon as possible.
The storage period of frozen food varies depending on the temperature in the environment, the number
of time the door is opened, the thermostat setting, type of food and the time that has passed since it
was placed into the freezer. Always follow the instructions on the packaging and never exceed the stated
storage time / expiry date.
Do not open the freezer door during long-term electrical power outages. Your refrigerator will protect
your frozen food for about 13 hours at an ambient temperature of 25°C and about 10 hours at an ambient
temperature of 32°C. This interval is shortened with increased ambient temperature. After long-term
electrical power outages do not refreeze your food and consume it as soon as possible.
