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).
Maintenance and Cleaning
Automatic Defrosting of the
Refrigerator
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator,
because ice depositing on the inner back wall is
defrosted automatically. Ice is depositing on the
inner back wall during the compressor
operation; later on, when the compressor is not
operating ice is defrosting and water drops
collect and drain through the outlet in the inner
back wall into the drain pan situated above the
compressor, from where it evaporates.
Manual Defrosting of the Frezing
Compartment
When the frost and ice layer in the frezing
compartment is 3-5 mm thick, you should clean
the freezer.
•
Turn the thermostat knob to
STOP (0)
position, and disconnect the power supply.
Empty the compartment and take care that
the packages remain frozen.
