REFRIGERATOR
Freezer (B)
The appliance is controlled with thermostat knob, situated in
the right upper part inside the refrigerator.
Turn the knob clockwise from
STOP (0)
position towards
7
and
backwards.
Temperature Selection
•
Higher settings on the knob (towards
7
) mean lower
temperatures (colder) in the refrigerator. Temperature in the
refrigerator may even drop below 0°C. Use higher settings
only when required or recommended.
When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend
medium setting.
•
Changes of the ambient temprature affect temperature in the
interior of the refrigerator (choose correct setting of the
thermostat knob).
•
In
STOP (0)
position the refrigerator does not operate (the
cooling system is switched off), yet power supply is not
interrupted (the light is on, when you open the refrigerator
door).
•
Temperature in the refrigerator also depends on how often
you open the door.
Use
Storing Fresh Foods
Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct
temperature and taking into account hygienic precautions will
substantially influence the quality of the food stored.
•
Foods to be stored in the refrigerator should be properly
packed as to prevent mixing various moisture degrees and
odors (in polyethylene bags or sheet, aluminium foil, wax
paper), or stored in covered containers or bottles.
•
Before storing food in the refrigerator, remove the excessive
packaging (like yoghurt in multi-package).
•
Pack systematically and make sure that foodstuffs do not
touch each other (various odours may mix). Assure
adequate air circulation around packages.
•
Never store inflammable, volatile or explosive substances.
•
Beverages with high alcohol percentage shall be stored in
tightly sealed bottles in vertical position.
•
Food should not touch the rear wall of the refrigerator!
•
Foods should be cooled down before storing.
•
Crispy and delicate foods should be stored in the coldest
parts of the refrigerator.
•
Try not to open the door too often.
•
Set the thermostat to the setting where lower temperatures
are reached. Set the thermostat gradually as to avoid
freezing of the foods.
Use a thermometer and measure the temperature in the
individual compartments. Place the thermostat in a glass
vessel filled with water. Temperature readings are most
reliable few hour after steady state is reached.
•
Some organic solutions like volatile oils in lemon or orange
peel, acid in butter etc. can cause damage and when in
contact with plastic surfaces or gaskets for longer period of
time they can cause accelerated ageing of the plastic
material.
•
Unpleasant odor inside the refrigerator is a sign that
something is wrong with foods or that your refrigerator needs
cleaning. Unpleasant odor can be eliminated or reduced by
washing the interior of the refrigerator with a mild solution of
water and vinegar.
We also recommend using activated carbon filters to clean
the air or to neutralize odors.
•
If you plan a longer journey, make sure to remove quickly
perishable articles of food out of the appliance before you
leave.
