Handling the appliance
Putting it into use
Place the accessories into the refrigerator then plug to the
mains socket. To start cooling turn the control dial on the
right-hand side of the fresh food compartment from "0"
clockwise according to the figure. In "0" position the
appliance is out of operation.
The next paragraph will give instructions for setting.
Controlling the temperature, setting
The thermostatic controller interrupts the operation of the
appliance automatically for more or less time depending
on the setting then restarts it assuring the required tem-
perature.
Turning the control button towards the bigger numbers
cooling becomes more and more intensive.
Setting the knob of the thermostatic control to 3 the tem-
perature starting automatically in the fresh food compart-
ment is about +5 °C or below. The 3 position generally
meets the requirements of everyday cooling.
The temperature coming about in the refrigerator is effect-
ed by not only the position of the thermostatic control but
the ambient temperature, frequency of door openings and
the quantity of food put into it newly, etc.
How to save energy
The colder the ambient temperature of the appliance
is the less energy it uses.
Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place and near
anything that gives off heat.
Be sure that the condenser and the compressor are
well ventilated. Do not cover the sections where ven-
tilation is.
Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film to
avoid building up unnecessary frost.
Do not leave the door open longer than necessary
and avoid unnecessary openings.
Put foods into the appliance only in a closed dish.
Put warm foods into the appliance only when they are
at room temperature.
Keep the condenser clean at the back of the appli-
ance.In the maximum i.e. 5 position - in case of
Storage time and temperature of
foods
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 this type of refrigerator. If the deep-frozen food
has already dissolved, refreezing is not recommended, it
has to be used up as soon as possible.
How to use the cooling compart-
ment
Developing interior air circulation is necessary for
adequate cooling. For this reason you are asked not
to cover the whole surface of the wire shelves with paper,
trays, etc.
Do not put hot food into the refrigerator. Allow
it to reach room temperature naturally. In this
way unnecessary frost building up can be avoided.
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 moisture
e.g. vegetables will not dry out after some days.
Some useful information and advice
The variable shelves are worth paying attention to,
which increases the usefulness of the fresh food
compartment considerably. Rearranging the shelves is
also possible when the door is open at an angle of 90°.
The inside configuration of the door makes rearranging
the door shelves as required possible.
Hints and ideas
In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given about
how to use the appliance to reach maximum energy sav-
ing and there is environmental information about the appli-
ance as well.
