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
readymade 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).
Maintenance and Cleaning
The kitchen unit can best be cleaned with hot
water, liquid detergent and a soft cloth. Don't use
abrasive cleaning agents or sharp objects. Burnt
or dried food remains should first be soaked and
softened. Stainless steel parts should be cleaned
with special cleaning agents, which must never
be used for cleaning aluminium parts.
Hot Plates
Never clean the appliance with pressurized hot
steam cleaner!
Before cleaning switch the cooker off and let it
cool down completely.
Hotplates and the surrounding area should be
cleaned with warm water and mild detergent.
Soak any dried stains with a wet sponge.
All four hotplates must be thoroughly cleaned
each time after use. If they are lightly stained,
wipe them with moist cloth and some detergent.
In case of heavily stained cooktop use the steel
sponge dipped in detergent. Wipe the hotplates
dry after each cleaning.
