How to use the four-star frozen food
compartment
Depending on the position of the thermostatic control
-18 °C or lower can be kept here.
At this temperature for a certain time deep-frozen
products available on the market can be stored. It is also
suitable for freezing and storing smaller quantity of fresh
food.
In 24 hours' time approximately 2 kgs of food can be
frozen.
Pack the foods tightly in plastic or aluminium foil, cool
them in the fresh food compartment and then place to the
frozen food compartment.
It is recommended to write the date on it when it was
placed in.
You can put the next product to be frozen into the frozen
food compartment if the previous one has already been
frozen thoroughly.
How to use the fresh food compartment
For adequate cooling developing interior air
circulation is necessary. For this reason you are
asked not to cover the whole surface of the wire shelves
with paper, trays, etc.
Do not put hot food into the refrigerator. Allow
it to reach room temperature naturally. In this
way the unnecessary 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.
How to make ice cubes
To make ice cubes fill the enclosed ice cube tray with
water and put it to the frozen food compartment. Wetting
the bottom of the tray and setting thermostatic control
knob to maximum stage can shorten preparing time. After
finishing do not forget to reset the thermostatic control to
the suitable stage.
Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under
running water then twist or hit it.

Some useful information and advice

The variable shelves are worth paying attention to,
which increases the usefulness of the fresh food
compartment considerably. Rearranging the shelves is
also possible when the door is open at an angle of 90°.
The inside configuration of the door makes rearranging
the door shelves as required possible.

Hints and ideas

In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given about
how to use the appliance to reach maximum energy
saving and there is environmental information about the
appliance as well.

How to save energy

The colder the ambient temperature of the appliance
is the less energy it uses.
Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place and near
anything that gives off heat.
Be sure that the condenser and the compressor are
well ventilated. Do not cover the sections where
ventilation is.
Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film to
avoid building up unnecessary frost.
Do not leave the door open longer than necessary
and avoid unnecessary openings.
When closing the door of the frozen food
compartment take care to move its bolt in the
direction of the arrow to fit it to the lock properly.
Put foods into the appliance only in a closed dish.
Put warm foods into the appliance only when they are
at room temperature.
Keep the condenser clean at the back of the appliance.

The appliance and environment

This appliance does not contain gasses which could
damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant circuit or
insulation materials. The appliance shall not be discarded
together with the urban refuse and rubbish. Avoid
damaging the cooling unit, especially at the rear near the
heat exchanger. Information on your local disposal sites
may be obtained from your municipal authorities.
The materials used on this appliance marked with the
sympol are recyclable.

Maintenance

Defrosting

Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber in form
of frost and ice goes with the operation of the refrigerator.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces
cooling efficiency as the temperature increases, it needs
more energy, at a certain thickness it does not allow the
door of the frozen food compartment to open, possibly
the door can be broken.
