Handling the appliance

Putting it into use

Place the accessories into the refrigerator then plug to
the mains socket. To start cooling turn the control dial
on the right-hand side of the fresh food compartment
from „0" clockwise according to the figure. In „0"
position the appliance is out of operation.
The next paragraph will give instructions for setting.

Controlling the temperature, setting

The thermostatic controller interrupts the operation of
the appliance automatically for more or less time
depending on the setting then restarts it assuring the
required temperature.
Turning the control knob towards the bigger numbers
cooling becomes more and more intensive.
In the freezer -18 °C or lower temperature can be
reached, if the thermostatic control knob is set to the
„Medium" (approx. 2-3) position. In this case the
temperature developing automatically in the freezer is
about +5 °C or lower. „Medium" position (2-3) is
usually adequate for everyday use.
The temperature coming about in the refrigerator is
effected by not only the position of the thermostatic
control but the ambient temperature, frequency of
door openings and the quantity of food put into it
newly, etc.
In the maximum i.e. „6" position - 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 cooling compartment

Developing interior air circulation is necessary
for adequate cooling. 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 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.
