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 use the fresh food compartment
Do not leave the door open longer than necessary and open it when it is needed. Put liquid into the appliance only in a closed dish. Put warm foods and liquid in the appliance only when they are at room temperature. Defrost the appliance when the ice in the frozen food compartment is more than 4-5 mm thick. Keep the condenser clean.
The appliance and environment
This appliance does not contain gasses which could damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant circuit or insulation materials. The appliance shall not be discarded together with the urban refuse and rubbish. Avoid damaging the cooling unit, especially at the rear near the heat exchanger. Information on your local disposal sites may be obtained from your municipal authorities. The materials used on this appliance marked with the sympol are recyclable.
How to make ice cubes
To make ice cubes fill the enclosed ice cube tray with water and put it to the frozen food compartment. 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. Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under running water then twist or hit it.
Maintenance
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber in form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the refrigerator. Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as the temperature increases, it needs more energy, at a certain thickness it does not allow the door of the frozen food compartment to open, possibly the door can be broken. At this type of appliance defrosting is so-called semi-automatic.
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°.
Hints and ideas
In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given about how to use the appliance to reach maximum energy saving and there is environmental information about the appliance as well.
How to save energy
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 ventilation is. Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film to avoid building up unnecessary frost. 8
