When placing the refrigerator keep minimal
distances recommended in figure.
A : placing it under a wall-cupboard
B : placing it freely
Putting it into use
Place the accessories into the refrigerator then plug to
the mains socket. To start cooling turn the control dial on
the right-hand side of the fresh food compartment from
"0" clockwise according to the figure. In "0" position the
appliance is out of operation.
The next paragraph will give instructions for setting.
Controlling the temperature, setting
The thermostatic controller interrupts the operation of the
appliance automatically for more or less time depending
on the setting then restarts it assuring the required
temperature.
Turning the control button towards the bigger numbers
cooling becomes more and more intensive.
Setting the knob of the thermostatic control to 3 the
temperature starting automatically in the fresh food
compartment is about +5 °C or below. The 3 position
generally meets the requirements of everyday cooling.
The temperature coming about in the refrigerator is
effected by not only the position of the thermostatic
control but the ambient temperature, frequency of door
openings and the quantity of food put into it newly, etc.
In the maximum i.e. 5 position - in case of
increased demand e.g. during heatwaves - the
compressor may operate continually. This does not
cause damages to the appliance.
Hints for storage
When placing the different kinds of food take into
consideration the sketch below in figure:
1. Confectionery, ready-cooked foods, foods in
dishes, fresh meat, cold cuts, drinks
2. Milk, dairy products, foods in dishes
3. Fruits, vegetables, salads
4. Cheese, butter
5. Eggs
6. Yoghurt, sour cream
7. Small bottles, soft drinks
8. Big bottles, drinks
Storage time and temperature of foods
The storage time can not be determined exactly in
advance, as it depends on the freshness and handling of
the cooled food. That is why the storage time made
known is only informative.
If you do not want to use up deep-frozen foods bought
immediately they can be stored for about 1 day (until
dissolving) in this type of refrigerator. If the deep-frozen
food has already dissolved, refreezing is not
recommended, it has to be used up as soon as possible.
How to use the cooling compartment
Developing interior air circulation is necessary for
adequate cooling. For this reason you are asked
not to cover the whole surface of the wire shelves with
paper, trays, etc.
Do not put hot food into the refrigerator. Allow
it to reach room temperature naturally. In this
way unnecessary frost building up can be avoided.
Foods can take over odours from each other.
So it is essential to put foods in closed dishes
or wrap them in cellophane, aluminium foil, grease-
proof paper or cling film before placing them into
the refrigerator. This way foods will keep their
moisture e.g. vegetables will not dry out after some
days.
