Using the Appliance

Putting it into use

Place the accessories into the appliance then plug to the mains socket.

Press the "A" button. The backlight of the display turns on.

The applince is ready to use.

Pressing the "A" button again the appliance is off, but still under voltage.

Controlling the temperature, setting

The thermostats interrupt the cooling automatically for more or less time depending on the setting then restarts it assuring the required temperature.

Temperature of the refrigerator and freezer can be set by knobs "F" and "B", respectively. The set temperature is seen blinking on the display.

For everyday use medium setting, i.e. +5°C in the refrigerator and colder than -18°C is the freezer is recommended.

Allow the appliance to run for a period of 24 hours whenever the temperature setting is changed. This will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the appliance.

The temperature coming about in the refrigerator is effected by not only the position of the thermostat but the ambient temperature, frequency of door openings and the quantity of food put into it newly, etc.

When the coldest temperature possible is set - in case of increased demand e.g. during heatwaves - the compressor may operate continually. This does

not cause damages to the appliance.

How to use the refrigerator

For adequate cooling developing interior air circulation is necessary. For this reason you are asked not to cover the air circulation gaps behind the

shelves (e.g. with tray etc.).

Do not put hot food into the refrigerator. Allow it to reach room temperature naturally. In this way the unnnecessary 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.

Drawer

The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables.

There is a separator inside the drawer that can be placed in different position to allow for the subdivision best suited to personal needs.

Shopping mode

Before putting a bigger amount of food into the refrigerator (e.g. when returning from shopping) press the function selection button once or twice as occasion requires to obtain shopping mode (the shopping mode symbol shown on the display). In this manner the refrigerator reaches its lowest possible temperature to cool down the bigger amount of food.

To exit from shopping mode press the function selection button again. Should you not do so, after a while the refrigerator returns to automatic mode.

The Refrigerator

Below is the recommended storage positions for various food types:

1.Ready-cooked foods, fresh meat, cold cuts.

2.Milk, dairy products.

3.Fruits, vegetables, salads.

4.Cheese, butter.

5.Eggs.

6.Yoghurt, sour cream.

7.Small bottles, drinks.

8.Large bottles, drinks.

Storage Shelves

The shelves in the refrigerator compartment are adjustable to allow for the storage of large items.

To re-arrange the shelves, open the door to 90°.

Storage Times

The storage chart at the end of the instruction book gives information on storage times in the refrigerator compartment. The storage times quoted are intended as a guide only.

Do not cover the shelves with paper or trays etc. as this will affect the air circulation within the refrigerator compartment.

Do not put hot foods in the refrigerator, allow hot foods to reach room temperature naturally before placing in the refrigerator.

Cover foods, or place in closed dishes before placing them in the refrigerator, this prevents any transference of food smells.
