PART 3.
ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE
Refrigerator Compartment
• To reduce humidity and consequent increase of frost never place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporator and in time will require more frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator compartment.
• Nothing should touch to refrigerator back wall as it will cause frost and the packages can stick here. Do not open the refrigerator door too frequently.
• Arrange the meat and cleaned fish (wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you will use in 1-2 days.
• You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.
Freezer Compartment
• The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen food for long periods of time and making ice cubes.
• Do not put fresh and warm food to the freezer door shelves to be frozen. Only use for storage of frozen food.
• Do not put fresh and warm food with frozen food side by side as it can thaw the frozen food.
• While freezing fresh food (i.e. meat, fish and mincemeat) divide them in parts you will use in one time.
• For storing the frozen food; the instructions shown on frozen food packages should always be followed carefully and if no information is provided food should not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date.
• When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable tempera­tures and that the packing is intact.
• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality of the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest possible time.
• If a package of frozen food shows the sign of humidity and abnormal swelling it is probable that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, thermostat set­ting, how often the door is opened, the type of food and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and the food which is wanted to freeze) more quickly because of the freezing room’s greater freezing power. Fast freezing shelves are the middle drawers of the freezer compartment (see in page 15-16)
PART 4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Disconnect unit from the power supply before cleaning.
• Do not clean the appliance by pouring water.
• The refrigerator and freezer compartment should be cleaned periodically using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and luke­warm water
• Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not clean them in the washing machine.
• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When the cleaning operations have been completed reconnect the plug of the unit with dry hands.
• You should clean the condenser (back of the appliance) with broom ones a year in order to provide energy saving and increase the productivity.
THE POWER SUPPLY MUST BE DISCONNECTED.
Defrosting refrigerator compartment
• Defrosting occurs fully automatically in refrigerator compartment during operation; the defrosted water collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporating tray and water drain hole (back of the refrigerator crisper shelf) should be cleaned periodically to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the refrigerator instead of flowing out.
