OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS Control panel Temperature adjustment knob Bulb cover Temperature adjustment Change in the knob adjustment causes temperature change in the fridge. Possible knob adjustment: l l l l appliance switched off maximum temperature optimal temperature minimum temperature - 0 setting - setting 1 - 2-6 setting - 7 setting Do not put food into the fridge before it has reached its operating temperature, which takes minimum 4 hours.
OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS Storage of food in the fridge-freezer Observe the following recommendations to ensure the food remains fresh. Freezing food l It is allowed to place the food in the shelves (see fig. 15). l The products should be placed on plates in containers or packed in food wrap. Distribute them evenly all over the shelves. Grate shelf of the freezer evaporator (*/***) l Pay attention whether the food contacts the rear wall, if so, it may cause frosting or wetting of the products.
OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS l Keep the fresh and warm foodstuff at ambient temperature away from the products, which have already been frozen. l We advise not to place more than 2 kg of fresh food at a time to the freezer per day (see table on page 72). l In order to maintain good quality of the frozen food, reorganise the food that is in the middle of the freezer, so that it does not touch the products that are not frozen yet.
USING THE REFRIGERATOR EFFICIENTLY Understanding the stars Practical everyday tips l Do not place fridges or freezers next to radiators, heaters, stoves or in direct sunlight. l Make sure that air vents are not covered up and clean the dust off them once or twice a year. l Select the right temperature: 6 to 8°C in your refrigerator and -18°C in your freezer is sufficient. l When on holiday, turn up the temperature in your fridge. l Only open your fridge or freezer when necessary.
USING THE REFRIGERATOR EFFICIENTLY Storage zones in the refrigerator l The warmest area is in the top section of the door. Use this for storing butter and cheese. l Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different temperature zones in the refrigerator chamber. Food that should not be stored in a refrigerator l The coldest area is directly above the vegetables drawers. Use this area for all delicate and highly perishable food e.g.
DEFROSTING, WASHING AND MAINTENANCE Defrosting the freezer Defrosting the fridge Frost settles on the rear wall of the fridge chamber. It is removed automatically. During the defrosting, the condensate, which contains contaminants may clog the opening in the through. Should it occur, carefully unclog the opening with the cleaning plug (fig. 16). 16 l The appliance operates in cycles: it refrigerates (then the frost settles on the rear wall), and defrosts (water flows down the rear wall).
DEFROSTING, WASHING AND MAINTENANCE Taking out and putting in the shelves Slide the shelf out, then slide it in as much as possible so that its clamp could fit the guide groove (fig. 18). 18 Taking out and putting in the door shelf Lift the door shelf, remove it and put it back from the top into its required position (fig. 20).
