Storing Commercially Frozen Foods
The storage time and recommended temperature for storing
commercially frozen foods is indicated on the packaging. For
storing and use consider manufacturer's instruction.
When shopping, be careful and choose only packages of foods
which are adequately packed and provided with complete data
and stored in freezers where the temperature is not higher than
-18°C.
Do not buy packages of food wrapped with frost. This indicates
that the package was thawed before at least once. Take care
that packages don't start to thaw. Temperature rise shortens
the storage time of commercially frozen foods.

Defrosting of 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 themselves after
defrosting and make foods perishable.
Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of foods,
especially of fruits, vegetables and ready-made meals.
Changing the Direction of Opening the Door
If you find the direction of opening the door on your appliance
inconvenient, you can change it. Holes on the opposite side
have already been prepared in the factory.
•
Unscrew the kick-plate and remove it by pushing
downwards.
•
Unscrew the lower hinge and take off the lower door together
with the middle hinge washer.
•
Unscrew the middle hinge and take off the upper door
together with the upper hinge washer. Remove the fastener
on the opposite side of the appliance (on the place where
the middle hinge is fixed).
•
Unscrew the upper hinge fastener and fix it on the opposite
side of the appliance.
•
Take off, change and replace the door hinge fixture and the
fixture plugs.
•
Put the upper hinge washer and the upper door on the upper
hinge fastener.
•
Rotate the middle hinge for 180° and fix it on the opposite
side of the appliance. Put the middle hinge washer and the
lower door on the hinge from the lower side.
•
Put the lower hinge on the lower door and fix it.
•
Replace the cover plate of the lower hinge to the opposite
side of the kick-plate and place it to the appliance.
•
In case your appliance is equipped with a handle mounted
on the side of the appliance, take it off and replace it on the
other side. (If there is more than one handle, replace them
all, following the same procedure.)
Some screws are covered with caps. Take them off before
undoing the screws.
•
Use the decorative caps and plug the remaining middle
hinge holes as well as the remaining holes of the side
handles (if you have a model with side handles).
•
Check the gasket, it shouldn't be creased and it should seal
well.
Should the seal not adhere to the casing of the appliance
perfectly, it will have to be heated from a suitable distance
(by means of hair drier, for example) and lightly stretched to
the required height.
