off the switch and turn the thermostat knob to
required position (see "Temperature selection").
The switch is ON when the marking I (
)or
colour marking is visible, and OFF when the
marking 0 (
) is visible or colour marking is not
visible (depending on model).
• The next time you want to freeze fresh foods,
repeat the freezing procedure and be careful
that packages with fresh foods do not touch
frozen packages.
• 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).
