Operation Control
The appliance is controlled with thermostat knob, situated in
the right upper part inside the appliance.
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 all three compartments of the
appliance. Temperature in the interior of the appliance may
even drop below 0°C.
When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend
medium setting.
•
Changes of the ambient temperature affect temperature in
the interior of the appliance (choose correct setting of the
thermostat knob).
•
In
STOP (0)
position the appliance 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 and in freezing compartment
depends on the frequency of opening the door as well.
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 lowest 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 and orange
peel, acid in butter etc. can cause damages when in contact
with plastic surfaces or gaskets for longer period of time.
•
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.

Freezing Fresh Foods
•
Carefully select food you intend to freeze; it should be of
adequate quality and suitable for freezing.
•
Use correct packaging and wrap it right.
−
The packaging should be air tight and shouldn't leak
since this could cause substantial vitamin loss and
dehydration of foods.
−
Foils and bags should be soft enough to tightly wrap
around the foods.
•
Mark packages with following data: kind and amount of
foods and the date of loading.
•
It is most important that the food is frozen as quickly as
possible. Therefore we recommend the size of the package
not to be too large and to be cooled before loading into the
freezer.
•
The amount of fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer
within 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate (freezing
capacity). If the loaded amount is too large, the quality of
freezing is reduced which affects the quality of frozen foods.
Freezing Procedure
•
24 hours before loading the freezer with fresh foods to be
frozen, set the thermostat to position
3
-

. Put packages on
