2 Set the thermostat dial to
“3” and turn on the power. The
compressor will and the light inside the refrigerator will
come on.
3 Close the door. If the temperature in the freezer compart-
ment has declined markedly after 30 minutes, the cooling
system is working properly. When the refrigerator has been
in operation for some time, the temperature will automati-
cally lower to the level to which the thermostat dial is set.
4 When the above is complete, the test is complete, and the
refrigerator is functioning normally.
Temperature control
1 The temperature of the refrigerator and freezer temperature
is regulated with a thermostat button located on one side of
the refrigerator.
2 Turn the thermostat dial to the right or left to adjust the
temperature in the refrigerator.
3 The numbers on the dial are temperature settings and not a
precise indication of the temperature in degrees. “0” corre-
sponds to off, and “6” corresponds to the lowest tempera-
ture. The temperature is lowered by turning the dial from
setting “1” to the setting “7”.Set the thermostat dial to the
setting that suits your needs.
4 For normal use, the thermostat dial should be turned to “3”.
Food storage
Using the freezer compartment
- Add only fresh and cleaned foods like fish and meat to the
freezer compartment, so that flavor and nutrients are pre-
served.
- Food should be wrapped in aluminum foil or airtight contain-
ers.
- Do not let frozen foods come into contact with non-frozen
foods placed in the freezer compartment.
- If you buy ready frozen food in the stores, it should be
transported home and placed in the freezer compartment
as soon as possible and stored at room temperature for THE
SHORTEST TIME POSSIBLE.
Using the refrigerator
- Prepared foods shall be cooled to room temperature before
being placed in the refrigerator.
- Eggs, butter, milk, bottles and the like should be placed in
the shelves of the refrigerator door.
- Other foods such. meat, fish and the like can dry out or
cause odors. To avoid this, they should be packed in alu-
minum foil, plastic bags or stored in airtight containers.
Food placement
- Food should not be placed too close together. Allow for air
circulation between items.
- Food stored in the refrigerator should be wrapped in clean
plastic or suitable paper and distributed on several shelves
to avoid emitting taste and smell to other foods and to avoid
contamination and dehydration.
- Hot foods should be cooled to room temperature before be-
ing placed in the refrigerator. Otherwise, power consumption
will increase in the refrigerator and frost may form.
- Never put fresh vegetables or fresh fruit in the freezer com-
partment as they may be damaged by freezer burn.
Quick-freeze
- The freezer compartment has a quick-freeze function.
- Fresh fish and meat that will be stored for a long time
should be quick-frozen.
- Set the thermostat to “7” to quick-freeze. After quick-freez-
ing, return the thermostat dial to the normal setting.
Defrosting
1 When the refrigerator has been running for a long time, the
interior surface of the freezer may be covered with frost.
This may increase power consumption and reduce cooling
capacity. The freezer compartment should be immediately
defrosted.
2 When the freezer compartment must be defrosted, turn off
the power, open the door and move the frozen food moved
to a cool place away from light. Defrost the freezer compart-
ment with a plastic scraper, or allow the frost to melt at
room temperature. Then wipe off any remaining ice and
water, and turn power back on.
Note: Never use sharp metal tools, as they can damage the
refrigerator.
Ordinary maintenance
Before any maintenance, remove the plug from the socket. Do
not pull the cord to unplug; instead, pull the plug itself out of
the socket.
The refrigerator should be cleaned every over month.
Clean the refrigerator inside and out with a damp, soft cloth.
If the refrigerator is very dirty, it can be cleaned using a soft cloth
with a neutral detergent and water, then wiped with a dry cloth.
Leave the door open while the refrigerator is turned off to avoid
odors.
Follow the instructions below if the refrigerator has not used for
a long time (e.g. after holidays):
Cleaning the product
In order to ensure better hygiene and safe storage of food, it is
advisable to clean and disinfect the product regularly.
- Empty the product, and place contents in thermal bags or
newspaper in a cool place.
- Clean the product inside and out with baking soda dissolved
in water (1 tablespoon to 4 liters of water).
- Use water and non-abrasive cleaners.
- Do not use alcohol, abrasives or cleaning agents as these
may damage the surfaces.
- Do not use a steam pressure cleaner. The hot steam can
damage the surfaces and the electrical circuits. There is a
direct risk of fatal electric shock.
