Instructions for Use
9
For freezing smaller amount of foods (up to
1 kg) there is no need to change the
thermostat setting (see Temperature
Selection).
Storing Frozen Foods
Packages of frozen foods are stored in the
basket. If you remove the baskets, you can
store frozen packages directly on the cooling
shelves.
Commercially Frozen Foods
The storage time and the recommended
temperature for storing commercially frozen foods
are indicated on the packaging. For storing and
using consider the manufacturer's instruction.
When shopping, be careful and choose only
adequately packed foods provided with complete
data and stored in freezers 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.
Ice Making
(certain models only)
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).
