OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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 so as to prevent mixing various moisture degrees
and odors (in polyethylene bags or sheet, aluminum foil, wax
paper, or stored in covered containers or bottles).
Before storing food in the refrigerator, remove excessive
packaging (like yogurt in multi-package).
Pack systematically and make sure that foodstuffs do not
touch each other (various odors may mix). Assure adequate
air circulation around packages.
Never store flamable, volatile or explosive
substances.
Beverages with high alcohol percentage shall 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 a setting where lowest temperatures are
reached. Set the thermostat gradually so as to avoid freezing
of 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 reali-
able a few hours after a steady state condition is reached.
Some organic solutions like volatile oils in lemon and orange
peel, acid in butter etc. can cause damage when in contact
with plastic surfaces or gaskets for long periods of time.
Unpleasant odors inside the refrigerator is a sign that some-
thing is wrong with the food or that your refrigerator needs
cleaning. Unpleasant odors can be eliminated or reduced by
washing the interior of the refrigerator with mild solution of
water and vinegar. We also recommend using activated car-
bon filters to clean the air or to neatralize odors.
If you are planning a long journey, make sure to remove
perishable articles of food out of the appliance before you
leave.
TEMPERATURE SELECTION
The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled by the setting
thermostat knob. (ceiling of the cabinet) to a desired setting.
To start the refrigerator, turn the temperature control knob to
the position corresponding to the desired cooling
(on the graduated blue dial) Fig A
The refrigerator temperature will vary depending on the quan-
tity of the food stored and on the frequency with which the
door is opened.
To turn the control to the “OFF” position, rotate the control
knob to the “0” position. If the refrigerator has been left out of
use for some time, set the control to maximum for 2-3 hours
before turning to the desired position. If the refrigerator is not
being used for long time periods, disconnect the plug and
leave the door partially opened. This will help to reduce
mold/mildew from accumulating inside the refrigerator
cabinet.
Changes in ambient room temperature will affect internal
refrigerator temperatures (choose correct setting of the
thermostat knob).
In OFF (0) position the appliance does not operate
(cooling system is switched off), yet power supply is not inter-
rupted (the light is on , when you open the refrigerator door).
Temperature in the refrigerator also depends on how often the
door is opened.
