Illumination in the Interior of the Refrigerator

The light for illuminating the interior of the appliance is on,

when the door is opened. The operation of the light does not

depend on the position of the thermostat knob.

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. At higher settings 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 temprature 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!

• 

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.

• 

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.

• 

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.
