OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS

Storage of food in the freezer

Observe the following recommen­dations to ensure the food remains
fresh.

Freezing food

lPractically all the food products, except for

vegetables consumed raw, such as lettuce
can be frozen.

l Only food products of the highest quality,

divided into small portions for single use,
should be frozen.

l Products should be packed in materials that

are odourless, resistant to air and moisture
penetration, and not susceptible to fat.
Plastic bags, polyethylene and aluminium
sheets are the best wrapping materials.

l The packaging should be tight and should

stick to the frozen products. Do not use
glass containers.

l Keep the fresh and warm foodstuff at am-

bient temperature away from the products,
which have already been frozen.

l We advise not to place more than 2 kg of

fresh food at a time to the freezer per day
(see table on page 59).

lIn order to maintain good quality of the

frozen food, reorganise the food that is in
the middle of the freezer, so that it does not
touch the products that are not frozen yet.

l It is recommended to move the already

frozen products to one side and place the
fresh products that are to be frozen to the
opposite side, as close to the rear and side
walls as possible.

10

OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS

The time of storage of the frozen products depends on their quality when fresh, before freezing
and on the storage temperature.

The following storage periods are recommended when the temperature of -18°C or lower is

maintained:

Products Months

Beef 6-8

Veal 3-6

Giblets 1-2

Pork 3-6

Poultry 6-8

Eggs 3-6

Fish 3-6

Vegetables 10-12

Fruit 10-12

USING THE REFRIGERATOR EFFICIENTLY

Practical everyday tips

lDo not place fridges or freezers next to

radiators, heaters, stoves or in direct sun­light.

l Make sure that air vents are not covered up

and clean the dust off them once or twice
a year.

l Select the right temperature: 6 to 8°C

in your refrigerator and -18°C in your

freezer is sufcient.

l When on holiday, turn up the temperature

in your fridge.

l Only open your fridge or freezer when

necessary. It helps if you know what food
they contain and where it is located. Return
food to the fridge or freezer as soon as
possible after you have used it so that it
doesn't warm up too much.

l Wipe out the inside of your fridge regularly

with a cloth soaked in a mild detergent.
Appliances which are not self-defrosting
will require regular defrosting. Don't allow

frost layers thicker than 10 mm to form.

l Keep the seal around the door clean,

otherwise it won't shut properly. Always
replace broken seals.

Understanding the stars

*Temperature is at least -6°C; sufcient

to store frozen food for about a week.
Drawers or compartments marked with
one star used to be a feature of (mostly)
cheaper fridges.

** Food can be stored at -12°C or below for

1-2 weeks without losing their taste. Not

suitable for freezing food.

*** Mainly used to store foods at -18°C or

below. Can also be used to freeze up to

1 kilogram of fresh food.

****This appliance is suitable for storing foods

at -18°C or below and freezing larger
quantities of fresh foods.

DEFROSTING, WASHING AND MAINTENANCE

Defrosting the freezer

lIt is recommended to combine defrosting

the appliance with washing it.

l Excessive accumulation of ice on the

freezing areas impairs the appliance’s
freezing capacity and increases the energy
consumption.

l Defrost the appliance at least once or twice

a year.

l If there is food in the freezer, set the knob

to the max. position about 4 hours before

the planned defrosting. This will ensure the
possibility of storing the food at the ambient
temperature for a longer time.

l After taking the food out of the freezer, put

it in a container, wrap it with several layers
of paper, a blanket and store it at a cool
place.

l The defrosting operation should last as

short as possible. Long storage of food
at the ambient temperature shortens their
shelf life.

You must not put an electric heater,
a heating fan or a hair dryer into the
freezer by any means.

In order to defrost the freezer chamber,
you must take the following steps:

l Take out the plug from the mains socket.

l Open the door and remove the food from

the freezer.

l After about 0.5 hours. easily from the smo-

oth surface of the walls to remove the layer

of frost and water (Fig. 11).

l Wash and dry the interior of the freezer.

l Switch on the freezer as described in the re-

levant section of its operating instructions.

The door of the frid­ge/freezer are opened
too often and/or remain
open for too long

The door does not close
completely

- reset the knob to a higher position

- the appliance is adapted to operation in
the N-ST climate range.

- move the appliance to another place.
Observe the guidelines contained in the
manual

- wait 72 hours until the food becomes cool

(freezes) and the required temperature is
reached inside the chamber

- place the food and containers in such a
way that they do not touch the rear wall of
the fridge

- move the appliance min. 30 mm away
from the wall

defrost the freezer chamber

- reduce the frequency of opening the door
and/or shorten the time when door remains
open

- place the food and containers so that they
would not interfere with door closed

15

TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Problems Possible causes Remedies

The compressor is switched
on too rarely

- check whether the ambient
temperature is not lower

than 16°C

Door gasket inserted incor­rectly

The appliance works conti­nuously

The appliance generates
unusual noise

Certain sounds can be heard during normal use of the refrigerator, which do not affect its
correct operation.

Incorrect setting of the adju­stment knob

See. ”Temperature inside the
appliance is not low enough
for description of other possi­ble causes

Incorrect levelling of the
appliance

The appliance touches furni­ture and/or other objects

- press the gasket in

- reset the knob to a lower
position

See. ”Temperature inside the
appliance is not low enough
for description of other possi­ble remedies

- level the appliance properly

- place the appliance at a
location that ensures proper
clearances around it

Sounds, which can be easily prevented:

lnoise caused by the appliance which is not level - adjust the position with the adjustable turn­in front feet. Alternatively, place pads made of soft material under the rear rollers, especially
when the appliance is placed on tiles.

ltouching the adjacent piece of furniture - move the refrigerator away.
lcreaking of the drawers or shelves - take out and put back the drawer or shelf.
lsounds of clinking bottles - move bottles apart.

Sounds heard during normal use are mainly due to operation of the thermostat, compressor
(switching on) and cooling system (thermal expansion and contraction of the radiator caused

by ow of the cooling agent).
