Use

Storing Fresh Foods

Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct
temperature and taking into account hygienic precautions will
substantially influence the quality of the food stored.
Foods to be stored in the refrigerator should be properly
packed as to prevent mixing various moisture degrees and
odors (in polyethylene bags or sheet, aluminium foil, wax
paper, or stored in covered containers or bottles).
Before storing food in the refrigerator, remove the excessive
packaging (like yoghurt in multi-package).
Pack systematically and make sure that foodstuffs do not
touch each other (various odours may mix). Assure
adequate air circulation around packages.
Never store inflammable, volatile or explosive substances.
Beverages with high alcohol percentage should be stored in
tightly sealed bottles in vertical position.
Food should not touch the rear wall of the refrigerator!
Foods should be cooled down before storing.
Crispy and delicate foods should be stored in the coldest
parts of the refrigerator.
Try not to open the door too often.
Set the thermostat to the setting where lowest temperatures
are reached. Set the thermostat gradually as to avoid

Maintenance and Cleaning

Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator

The refrigerator requires no defrosting, since the ice at the rear
wall melts automatically. Ice, formed at the rear end during the
operation of the compressor, melts when the compressor is off,
and water drops slide downwards through the hole in the rear
wall o the condenser collecting receptacle, placed at the
bottom of the appliance.

Cleaning the Appliance

Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the
appliance.
Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning agents as you can
damage the surface. Be careful to remove any cleanser agent
remaining after cleaning.
Clean the exterior with water and detergent.
Varnished surfaces are cleaned with soft cloth and an
alcohol based cleaning agent (for example glass cleaners).
You may also use alcohol (ethanol or isoprophylic alcohol).
The application of abrasive and specially aggressive
cleaners, such as the stainless steel cleaners, is not
appropriate for the cleaning of plastic and coated parts.
Remove the detachable accesories in the interior of the
appliance and clean it with water and liquid detergent.
Plastic parts cannot be washed in washing machine.

Instructions for Use
freezing of the foods.
Use a thermometer and measure the temperature in the
individual compartments. Place the thermostat in a glass
vessel filled with water. Temperature readings are most
reliable few hour after steady state is reached.
Some organic solutions like volatile oils in lemon or orange
peel, acid in butter etc. could cause damage and when in
contact with plastic surfaces or gaskets for longer period of
time they can even cause accelerated ageing of the plastic
material.
Unpleasant odor inside the refrigerator is a sign that
something is wrong with foods or that your refrigerator needs
cleaning. Unpleasant odor can be eliminated or reduced by
washing the interior of the refrigerator with a mild solution of
water and vinegar.
We also recommend using activated carbon filters to clean
the air or to neutralize odors.
If you plan a longer journey, make sure to remove quickly
perishable articles of food out of the appliance before you
leave.
