How to use the freezer
Freezing
The appliance can be used to freeze fresh food of quan-
tity specified on the data label. Freezing different prod-
ucts should always be done after proper preparing as fol-
lows.
Set the thermostat knob to a medium position.
Put the previously frozen food - or some of it - to another
basket or baskets. Put the fresh food into the upper bas-
ket, leaving enough space for airflow. If there is some
previously frozen food left in the upper basket, put this
food into the back of the basket avoiding the contact
between the fresh food and the already frozen food.
Run the appliance this way for 24 hours.
Putting it into use
Place the accessories into the appliance then plug to the
mains socket.
The thermostat knob is on the light box in the refrigerator.
You can switch the appliance on and set the temperature
with it by turning the knob clockwise.
The next paragraph will give instructions for setting.
Handling the appliance
Controlling the temperature, setting
The thermostat interrupts the operation of the appliance
automatically for more or less time depending on the set-
ting then restarts it assuring the required temperature.
The closer it is set to maximum position the more inten-
sive the refrigerating will be. When the thermostat knob is
set to a medium position (between minimum and maxi-
mum), in the freezing compartment -18 °C, in the fresh
food compartment +5 °C can be reached. Setting it to a
medium position is adequate for everyday use.
The temperature coming about in the refrigerator is
effected by not only the position of the thermostat but the
ambient temperature, frequency of door openings and
the quantity of food put into it newly, etc.
In the maximum position - in case of
increased demand e.g. during heatwaves - the
compressor may operate continually. This does not
cause damages to the appliance.
Storing in the refrigerator
When placing the different kinds of food take into consid-
eration 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 chart at the end of the instruction book
gives information about storage time.
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 dis-
solving) in the refrigerator.
How to use the refrigerator
For adequate cooling developing interior air circu-
lation is necessary. For this reason you are asked
not to cover the air circulation gaps behind the shelves
(e.g. with tray etc.).
Do not put hot food into the refrigerator. Allow
it to reach room temperature naturally. In this
way the unnecessary frost building up can be avoid-
ed.
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 mois-
ture e.g. vegetables will not dry out after some days.
