The symbols show different types of frozen goods.

The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and treating before freezing.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with water, then put them in the freezer compartment.

Important! Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.

0°C Compartment

In the 0° C compartment the temperature is controlled automatically. It stays constantly at about 0° C, no adjustment is necessary.

The constant storage temperature of about 0° C and the relative humidity of between 45 and 90 % provide optimal conditions for the various kinds of food.

Important!

You can therefore store a variety of fresh food in the 0°C compartment, where it will last up to 3 times longer with better quality compared to normal refrigerator compartments. This allows you to stock more fresh food. Taste, degree of freshness, quality and nutritional values (vitamins and minerals) are well preserved. Loss of weight in vegetables and fruit diminishes. Food yields a higher degree of nutritional value.

Important!

The 0° C compartment is also suitable for defrosting food.

In this case the thawed food can be stored up to two days.

Humidity control

Both drawers can be used according to the desired storage conditions independently of each other with lower or higher humidity.

Regulation for each drawer is separate and is controlled using the slide valve at the front of the drawer.

  • „Dry“: low air humidity - up to 50 % relative humidity
    This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set into this position and the ventilation openings are wide open.
  • Humid": high relative humidity - up to 90% This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set in this position and the ventilation openings are closed. Humidity is kept and can not escape.

1) The riper the fruit, the shorter the storage time

Important!

Cakes containing cream and other kinds of pastry products can be stored in the 0°C compartment for 2 or 3 days.

Important!

Not to be placed in the 0°C compartment:

- cold sensitive fruit which have to be stored at cellar or room temperature like pine-

apple, bananas, grapefruit, melons, mango, papaya, oranges, lemons, kiwi fruit.

- The types of food not mentioned above should be stored in the refrigerator compartment (e.g. all sorts of cheese, cold cuts, etc.)

Important!

The level of air humidity in the drawers depends on the content of humidity in the stored food, vegetable and fruit and on the frequency of door opening

The 0°C compartment is also suitable for slow thawing of food. In this case the thawed food can be stored in the 0°C compartment for up to two days.

Tips:

  • Pay attention to the freshness of the food, especially on the expiry date. Quality and freshness influence the storage time.
  • The whole storage cycle time will depend on the preservation conditions made prior to the final storage in the fridge.
  • Food, fruit or vegetables should always be packed or wrapped up before storage.
    • Animal food always store packed and dry.
  • Food rich in proteins will go bad quicker. This means seafood will spoil before fish which in turn will spoil before meat. While storing food in a 0°C compartment storage time for that kind of food can be increased by up to three times as well without loss on quality.
  • All food stored in a 0°C compartment should be taken out of the drawers roughly 15-30 min before consumption, particularly fruit and vegetables to be consumed without any additional cooking process. Allowing fruit and vegetables to

Helpful hints and tips

Hints for energy saving

  • Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
  • If the ambient temperature is high and the Temperature Regulator is set to low temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice on the evaporator.

  • position food so that air can circulate freely around it

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:

Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.

For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.

Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.

Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided.

Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.

Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:

  • the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;
  • the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period;
  • only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
  • prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required;
  • wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight;
  • do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter;

  • lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;

  • water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
  • it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time.

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:

  • make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer;
  • be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible time;
  • not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
  • Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
  • Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
