OPERATION Temperature Control The temperature of the appliance can be adjusted by turning the thermostat dial. The thermostat can be set between 1 and 7.

• 1 is the warmest setting.

• 7 is the coldest setting.

• Set the dial to OFF to turn off the cooling function.

• Under the normal operating condition (in spring and autumn), it is recommended to set the temperature at 4.

• In summer, when the ambient temperature is high, it is recommended to set the temperature to 3–4 to maintain the refrigerator and freezer temperatures and reduce the continuous running time of the refrigerator; in winter, when the ambient temperature is low, it is recommended to set the temperature to 5–6 to avoid frequent start/stop of the refrigerator. Notes: The temperatures may vary due to compressor cycles and outside conditions. First operation

• Plug in the device and turn the thermostat knob to the position „4“.

• Open the door 30 minutes later and if the temperature inside the fridge has dropped signicantly, it shows that the fridge system is working well. If the fridge has been running for a while, the temperature regulator will automatically adjust the temperature after the door is opened. Storage of food

• Cooked food can be placed in the fridge to keep fresh after it has cooled to room temperature. Egg and bottle trays for eggs, butter, milk and bottled drinks, etc. are included.

• Food should be stored in adequate space rather than too close together.

• Food to be stored should be wrapped in clean plastic lm or fresh food paper and then spread over several frames to avoid contamination and loss of water and odour mixture.

• Cool hot food to room temperature before storing, otherwise electricity consumption will increase and frost will form inside.

• Cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats to avoid cross-contamination. Keep raw meats or sh on a plate large enough to37

collect juices and cover with cling lm or foil.

• Leave space around food to allow cold air to circulate around the fridge, ensuring all parts of the fridge are kept cool.To prevent transfer of avors and drying out, food should be separately packed or covered. Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped.

• Allow pre-cooked food to cool before putting it in the fridge. This will help prevent the internal temperature of the fridge from rising.

• To prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the door. When you return from shopping, sort the food you want to keep in your fridge before opening the door. Only open the door to put food in or take food out. Storage locations Cool area This is the place to store foods that will keep for longer if they are kept in a cool place:

• Milk, eggs, yoghurt, fruit juices, hard cheeses such as cheddar, opened jars and bottles of salad dressings, sauces and jams, fats such as butter, margarine, low-fat spreads, cooking fats and lard. Coldest area This is where food that needs to be kept cold to be safe should be stored:

• Raw and uncooked foods should always be wrapped. Pre-cooked chilled foods, e.g. ready meals, meat pies, soft cheeses.

• Pre-cooked meat, e.g. ham

• Prepared salads (including pre-packaged mixed green salads, rice, potato salad, etc.)

• Desserts, e.g. fromage frais, home-made dishes and leftovers or cream cakes. Notes:

• Always wrap and store raw meat, poultry and sh on the bottom shelf.

• Do not leave food out for too long. This will prevent it from dripping onto or touching other food.38

• Do not store ammable gases or liquids in the fridge.

• For recommended food storage time, refer to the information given on your food packaging. Advice on how to save energy

• Place the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight and away from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator near heat-generating appliances such as a cooker, oven or dishwasher.

• Do not leave the door open for longer than necessary, and do not place hot food inside the refrigerator.

• Organise the fridge to reduce the number of door openings. Take out as many items as you need at one time and close the door as soon as possible.

• Close the refrigerator door properly to avoid increased energy consumption and the formation of excess ice and/or condensation inside.

• Constant circulation of cold air maintains a uniform temperature inside the refrigerator. For this reason, it is important to distribute the food properly to facilitate the ow of air.

• Cover food and wipe containers dry before placing them in the fridge. This will reduce the build-up of moisture inside the appliance.

• During long absences (e.g. holidays), it is advisable to unplug the refrigerator, remove all the food and clean it. The door should be left slightly open to prevent mould and unpleasant odours. This will not affect the refrigerator when it is reconnected.

• During short absences (e.g. holidays), the refrigerator can be left on. However, remember that there may be longer power cuts while you are away.39
