FOOD STORAGE IN THE APPLIANCE

Refrigerator Compartment

Refrigerator compartment is used for storing fresh food for few days.

- Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment. Leave some space around food to allow circulation of air.

• Do not place hot food or evaporating liquid in the refrigerator.

• Always store food in closed containers or wrapped.

- To reduce humidity and avoid formation of frost, never place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator.

- Meat of all types, wrapped in packages, is recommended to be placed on the glass shelf just above the vegetable bin, where the air is colder.

• You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.

- To avoid the cold air escaping, try not to open the door too often, and not leave the door open for a long time.

Freezer Compartment

Freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh foods and for storing frozen foods for the period of time indicated on packaging, and for making ice cubes.

- For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh food properly, that is the packaging should be air tight and shouldn't leak. Special freezer bags, aluminium foil (heavy grade, in doubt double wrap), polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.

- Do not allow the fresh food to be frozen to come into contact with the already frozen food.

• Always mark the date and the content on the pack and do not exceed the stated storage time.

- In case of a power failure or malfunction, the freezer compartment will maintain a sufficiently low temperature for food storage. However, avoid opening the freezer door to slow down the temperature rise within the freezer compartment.

- The maximum amount of fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is indicated on the name plate (see Freezing Capacity).

• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment.

- When purchasing and storing frozen food products; ensure that the packaging is not damaged.

- The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing frozen foods are indicated on the packaging. For storing and using, follow the manufacturer's instructions. If no information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3 months.

- Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after buying it.

- Once the food is thawed, it must not be refrozen; you must cook it as quickly as possible in order to consume or to freeze once again.

- Storage: If you want to use the maximum net capacity, you can remove the drawers and store the items directly on the cooling tubes. This will enable you to make use of the entire volume of the compartment.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

- Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning.

- The refrigerator compartment should be cleaned periodically using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.

- Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.

- Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When the cleaning operations have been completed, reconnect the plug with dry hands.

Defrosting the Refrigerator Compartment

Technical line drawing of a structural component with an inset showing a magnified view of a hand holding a tool (no text or symbols present)

- Defrosting occurs automatically in refrigerator compartment during operation; the defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.

- The evaporating tray and the defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the refrigerator instead of flowing out.

• You can also pour 12 glass of the water to drain hole to clean inside.

Defrosting the Freezer Compartment

WARNING: Never use sharp metal tools, unless recommended by manufacturer, for this operation as they can damage the refrigeration circuit.

After a period of time, frost will build up in certain areas in the freezer compartment. The frost, accumulated in the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically (use the plastic scraper if available).

Complete defrosting will become necessary if the frost layer exceeds 3-5 mm to maintain the efficiency of the freezer.

- The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to position "5" to freeze the foods completely.

- During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life. Remember to use these foods within a relatively short period of time.

- Set the thermostat knob to position "0" and switch off the appliance.

- Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting. Remove the defrost water from the compartment.

• This appliance is provided with a special drain system.

1. Pull out the bottom drawer ^(A) of the freezer compartment and put it on aligning it to the cabinet front.

2. Pull out the drain pipe ^(B) placed on the back wall of the freezer compartment. Then place it in the groove on the front side of the floor of the appliance.
