Appliance operation (multimode)

Temperature adjustment

The temperature in the cabinet may be
adjusted by turning the knob slightly left or
right in each function sector. To left for higher
temperature and to right for lower
temperature.
The achieved temperatures can vary
according to the conditions of use of the
appliance, such as: place of the appliance,
ambient temperature, frequency of door
opening, extent of filling with food of the
appliance. The position of the thermostat knob
will change according to these factors.
The appliance is designed to operate in three
ways.
It can operate as a:

1. Refrigerator;

2. Chiller;

3. Freezer.

Using the unit as a refrigerator

At the refrigerator setting on
the knob, the temperature in
the cabinet will be about 5°C.
This temperature is ideal for
storing perishable foods
such diary products, fresh
vegetables and cold meats.
Cold drinks can also be stored at this
temperature. The load can be introduced
gradually in quantities not bigger than 50kg or
50l, on intervals of 15-20 hours.

Using the unit as a chiller

At the chiller setting on the
knob, the unit may be

compared with a butcher’s

cold storage facility. The
temperature in the cabinet
can range from 3°C to -2°C.
This temperature is ideal for
storing meat or fish for short
period.
The advantage is that the food can be cooked
without first defrosting it. The load can be
introduced gradually in quantities not bigger
than 50kg or 50l, on intervals of 15-20 hours.

Using the unit as a freezer

At the freezer setting on the
knob the temperature in the
cabinet will be around -18°C.
This temperature is ideal for storing frozen
foods for long periods of time. For freezing of
the fresh food it is possible after min. 20 hours
of operation.

In Freezer operation mode is necessary to
use the obstructing plug (item 8.)

In Fridge and chiller operation mode the
obstruction plug (item 8.) will be removed.

EN Instruction for use

EN Instruction for use

The signalling system is placed on the front

side of the appliance (Item 5).
It includes:

1. Thermostat adjustment knob – the inside
temperature is adjusted.

2. green LED – shows that the appliance is
supplied with electric energy.

3. red LED – damage – lights if the
temperature in the compartment is too high.
The LED will operate 15-45 minutes after the
putting into operation of the appliance, then it
must go off. If the LED goes on during the
operation, this means that defects have
occurred.

4. orange button – fast freeze – this function

is useful only in freezer operation mode!

By pushing it the orange led goes on,
showing that the appliance entered into the
"fast freeze" mode. The exit of this mode is
done by pushing the button again, and the
orange led goes off.

The three LEDs give information about the
mode of operation of the appliance.

Advice for food conservation

Fridge & chiller operation.

Avoid a position of the thermostat box outside

the ranges “Fridge” & “Chiller” which could

lead to negative operation temperatures of the
appliance, in this way exceeding temperatures
below the intended range, with the danger of
the freezing of the beverages and of the fresh
food, and excessive build-up of ice on the
walls of the cabinet liner. You do not need to
remove these drops, because the water which
results is collected by the special channel in a
small tray placed on the rear side of the
appliance, from where it evaporates.

Freezer operation.

The freezer is intended to keep the frozen
food for a long time, as well as to freeze fresh
food.
One of the main elements for a successful
food freezing is the packing.
The main conditions that the packing must
fulfill are the following: to be airtight, to be
inert towards the packed food, to resist to low
temperatures, to be proof to liquids, grease,
water vapours, smells, to be able to be
washed.

These conditions are fulfilled by the following
types of packings: plastic or aluminium film,
plastic and aliminium vessels, waxed
cardboard glasses or plastic glasses.

IMPORTANT!

- For freezing the fresh food please use the

supplied baskets of the appliance.

- Do not place into the freezer a too large

quantity of food at a time. The quality of the
food is best kept if they are deeply frozen as
quickly as possible. This is why it is advisable
not to exceed the freezing capacity of the
appliance specified in the "Appliance data
sheet" (page 7). In order to reduce the
freezing time, push the button for „fast freeze”.

- The fresh food must not come into contact

with the food already frozen.

- The frozen food you have bought can be

placed into the freezer without having to
adjust the thermostat.

- If the freezing date is not mentioned on the

packing, please take into consideration a
period of max. 3 months, as a general guide.

- The food, even partially defrosted, cannot be

frozen again, it must be consumed
immediately or cooked and then refrozen.

- The fizzy drinks will not be kept in the

freezer.

- In case of a power failure, do not open the

door of the appliance. The frozen food will not
be affected if the failure lasts less than 36
hours.

DO NOT FORGET!

After 24 hours since the food was placed
inside, please cancel the "fast freeze"
mode by pushing again the button 4, when
the orange led goes off.

Replacing the interior light bulb

If the lamp burns out, disconnect the
appliance from the mains. Take out the lamp
trim. Make sure the lamp is screwed correctly.
Plug in the appliance again. If the lamp still
does not go on, replace it with another one
model E14-15W. Mount back the lamp trim in
its place.
