2. Temperature adjustment knob

Temperatureadjustment

Turning the knob to a different setting changes the temperature in the fridge-freezer.

Available knob settings:

• appliance switched off - OFF setting

• maximum temperature - 1 setting

Temperatureinsidethefridge/freezerchamber

Do not change the temperature settings due to the change in the season of the year. The ambient temperature

increase will be detected by the sensor and the compressor will be switched on automatically for a longer

period of time in order to maintain the temperature set inside the chambers.

Minorchangesintemperature

The slight changes in temperature are perfectly normal and may occur, for instance during the storage of great

quantities of fresh products in the fridge, or when the door is open for a longer period of time. This will not affect

the condition of the stored foodstuff, and the temperature will quickly return to its set value.

OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS EN27

Storageoffoodinthefridge-freezer

Observethefollowingrecommen-dationsto

ensurethefoodremainsfresh.

lThe products should be placed on plates, in con-

tainers or packed in food wrap. Di- stribute them

evenly l over the shelves.

l If the food contacts the rear wall, it may cause

frosting or wetting of the products.

l Do not put dishes with hot food t into the

l Products which absorb avours easily such as

butter, milk, white cheese and products with intense

avour, such as sh, smoked meat, hard cheese

must be placed on shelves, packed in food wrap or

in tightly sealed containers.

l The storage of vegetables containing signicant

quantities of water will cause the deposition of

condensation on the vegetable containers, it

does not impact on the proper functioning of the

l Before putting the vegetables into the fridge, dry

l Excessive moisture shortens the shelf life of vege-

tables, especially the leafed vegeta- bles.

l Do not wash the vegetables before storing in the

refrigerator. Washing removes the natural protec-

tion, therefore it is better to wash the vegetables

directly before con- sumption.

lPractically all the food products, except for ve-

getables consumed raw, such as lettuce can be

l Only food products of the highest quality, divided

into small portions for single use, should be fro-

lProducts should be packed in materials that are

odourless, resistant to air and moisture pene-

tration, and not susceptible to fat. Plastic bags,

polyethylene and aluminium sheets are the best

l The packaging should be tight and should stick

to the frozen products. Do not use glass conta-

l Keep fresh and warm foodstuff at am- bient

temperature away from the products, which have

already been frozen.

l We advise you not to place more of fresh food

at a time to the freezer per day (see table witch

technical specication).

lIn order to maintain optimum quality of the frozen

food, reorganise the food that is in the middle of

the freezer, so that it does not touch the products

that are not yet frozen.

l It is recommended that you move the already fro-

zen products to one side and place the fresh pro-

ducts that are to be frozen on the opposite side, as

close to the rear and side walls as possible.

l To freezing products, use space marked (*/***).

lBearinmindthatthetemperatureinthefre-

ezerisaffectedbyseveralfactors,including

theambienttemperatureandthequantityof

foodproductsinthechamber,thefrequency

ofopeningthedoor,theamountoffrostinthe

freezer,andthethermostatsetting.

The storage time for frozen products depends on

their quality before freezing when fresh, and on the

storage temperature. The following storage periods

are recommended when the temperature of -18°C

or lower is maintained:

USING THE REFRIGERATOR EFFICIENTLY Practicaleverydaytips

lDo not place fridges or freezers next to radiators,

heaters, stoves or in direct sunlight.

l Make sure that air vents are not covered up and

clean the dust off them once or twice a year.

l Select the right temperature: 6to8°Cinyour

refrigerator and -18°C in your freezer is suf-

l When on holiday, turn up the temperature in your

l Only open your fridge or freezer when necessary.

It helps if you know what food each contains and

where it is located. Return food to the fridge or

freezer as soon as possible after you have used

it so that it does not warm up too much.

l Wipe the inside of your fridge regularly with a

cloth soaked in a mild detergent. Appliances

which are not self-defrosting will require regular

defrosting. Do not allow frost layers thicker than

l Keep the seal around the door clean, otherwise

it will not shut properly. Always replace broken

Understandingthestars

*Temperature is at least -6°C; sufcient to store

frozen food for about a week. Drawers or com-

partments marked with one star used to be a

feature of (mostly) cheaper fridges.

** Food can be stored at -12°C or below for 1-2

weeks without losing its taste. Not suitable for

*** This rating is mainly used to store foods at -18°C

or below. Can also be used to freeze up to 1

kilogram of fresh food.

**** This appliance is suitable for storing foods at

-18°C or below and freezing larger quantities

Storagezonesintherefrigerator

l Due to the natural circulation of the air in the

appliance, there are different temperature zones

in the refrigerator chamber.

l The coldest area is directly above the vegetables

drawers. Use this area for all delicate and highly

perishable food e.g.

- Fish, meat, poultry

- Sausage products, ready meals

- Dishes or baked goods containing eggs or

- Fresh dough, cake mixtures

- Pre-packed vegetable and other fresh food with

a label stating it should be kept at a temperature

l The warmest area is in the top section of the

door. Use this for storing butter and cheese.

Foodthatshouldnotbestoredina

l Not all food is suitable for storing in the refrige-

rator, particularly:

- Fruit and vegetables which are sensitive to

cold, such as bananas, avocado, papaya, pas-

sion fruit, aubergines, peppers, tomatoes and

- Fruit which is not yet ripe

Exampleofstoringthefood-seegure9.

l Do not use defrosting aerosols. They may cause

the formation of an explosive mixture, or contain

solvents which may damage the plastic com-

ponents of the appliance and even be harmful

l Make sure the water used for cleaning does not

ow into the evaporation container through the

l The whole appliance, except for the door gasket

must be cleaned with a mild cleaning detergent.

The door gasket should be cleaned with water

l Wash all the accessories (vegetable containers,

door shelves, glass shelves, etc.).

Defrostingthefreezer

lIt is recommended to combine defrosting the

appliance with washing it.

l Excessive accumulation of ice on the freezing

areas impairs the appliance’s freezing capacity

and increases the energy consumption.

l Defrost the appliance at least once or twice a

l If there is food in the freezer, set the knob to the

max. position about 4 hours before the planned

defrosting. This will ensure the possibility of

storing the food at the ambient temperature for a

l After taking the food out of the freezer, put it in a

container, wrap it with several layers of paper, a

blanket and store it at a cool place.

l The defrosting operation should last as short as

possible. Long storage of food at the ambient

temperature shortens their shelf life.

Defrostingthefridge

Frost settles on the rear wall of the fridge chamber. It

is removed automatically. During the defrosting, the

condensate, which contains contaminants may clog the

opening in the through. Should it occur, carefully unclog

the opening with the cleaning plug (g. 10).

l The appliance operates in cycles: it refrigerates

(then the frost settles on the rear wall), and de-

frosts (water ows down the rear wall)
