To reduce moisture and subsequent ice build-up, never put liquid into the refrigerator in unsealed

containers. Frost tends to concentrate in the coolest parts of the evaporator. Storing uncovered liquids

results in a more frequent need for defrosting.

•

Never put warm foods in the refrigerator. These should first cool down at room temperature and then be

placed so as to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator.

•

Foods or food containers should not touch the back wall of the refrigerator because they could freeze

to the wall. After disconnecting the refrigerator from the power supply wait at least 10 minutes before

plugging it in again.

•

Do not store bottles in the freezing compartment. The packaging could break and damage the refrigerator.

•

In case of power failure, open the refrigerator as little as possible.

•

When defrosting, never use sharp or metallic objects to remove ice from the evaporator. You could damage

the evaporator.

•

Do not touch the foods and containers in the freezer compartment with wet hands to avoid the risk of

frostbite.

Using the refrigerator at home

•

Try no to open the door too often, especially during hot and humid weather. When you open the door,

remember to close it as soon as possible.

•

Check from time to time if there is sufficient ventilation (adequate air circulation behind the appliance).

•

Under normal temperature condition at home set the thermostat to the medium value.

•

Before putting food in the refrigerator, let it cool first to room temperature.

•

The layer of ice increases energy consumption, therefore defrost the refrigerator as soon as the ice layer

reaches a thickness of 3-5 mm.

•

If the refrigerator is equipped with an external cooler, the wall behind the refrigerator should always be

clean and free of dust and dirt.

•

Always keep in mind the instructions in the "Location" section. Otherwise, the refrigerator consumption

may increase significantly.

•

Under normal operating conditions, it is sufficient to adjust the temperature of the refrigerator to +4 °C.

•

The temperature of the cooling compartment should be in the range of 0–8 °C, fresh foods are frozen

and rotten at temperatures below 0 °C, and bacteria increase and food spoils at temperatures above 8 °C.

•

Do not refrigerate hot foods, let them cool to room temperature. Hot foods increase the temperature of

the refrigerator and can cause food poisoning or unnecessary food spoilage.

•

Meat, fish and similar foods should be stored in chiller and vegetables in the vegetable compartment (if

applicable).

•

Do not store meat products with fruit and vegetables to avoid cross-contamination.

•

Food in a refrigerator should be stored in closed containers or other suitable packaging so as not to release

odours and moisture into the refrigerator.

Door open indicator - depends on the model.

•

The "door open » indicator on the handle shows whether the door is open or has been

properly closed.

If the indicator is red, the door is still open.

•

When the indicator is white, the door is properly closed.

•

Pay attention to the door so that it is always carefully closed. This prevents defrosting

of food and freezing of the walls of the appliance; increased power consumption is also

a matter of course.
