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
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
temperature.
Turning the control button towards the bigger numbers
cooling becomes more and more intensive.
In the ice-making compartment can be reached -2 °C or
lower temperature if the knob of the thermostatic control
is set according to following table:
Ambient temperature
from 10 °C to 16 °C
from 16 °C to 25 °C
from 25 °C to 32 °C
from 32 °C to 38 °C
In this case the temperature starting automatically in the
fresh food compartment is about +5 °C or below.
The setting 5., 6. and 7. are suitable for quick chill of big
quantity goods.
The temperature coming about in the refrigerator is
effected 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.
In the maximum i.e. „7" position - in case of
increased demand e.g. during heatwaves - without
disconnecting continuous operation can occur. This
does not cause damages to the appliance.

Storage time and temperature of foods

The enclosed chart at the end of the instruction books gives
information about storage time in the fresh food
compartment.
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.
It is safe to store quick-frozen food only that way if they were
not dissolved even for a short time until placing them into the
ice-making compartment.

How to use the ice-making compartment

In the ice-making compartment -2 °C or below can be held
depending on setting of thermostatic control.
It is suitable for quickly refrigerating and storing foods in
small quantity and for making ice-cubes.

How to use the fresh food compartment

For adequate cooling developing interior air circulation
is necessary. 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 the
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.

How to make ice cubes

To make ice cubes fill the enclosed ice cube tray with water
and put it to the ice-making compartment or on top of it.
Wetting the bottom of the tray and setting thermostatic
control knob to maximum stage can shorten preparing time.
After finishing do not forget to reset the thermostatic control
to the suitable stage.
