Frequently Asked Questions - R1411F UPO

How do I set the temperature on my UPO R1411F refrigerator?
Rotate the thermostat dial (A) clockwise to cooler settings (thicker part of the marking) or counterclockwise to warmer settings. The dial also serves as the on/off switch.
Can I change the door opening direction?
Yes, the door is reversible. Use a socket wrench (Nr. 8) and screwdrivers. Follow the steps in the manual: remove top hinge cover, swap top-hinge components, reposition bottom hinge, and adjust leveling feet. Ensure the appliance is unplugged and tilted backward.
How do I defrost the freezer?
When frost is 3-5 mm thick, 24 hours before defrosting set dial to max. Remove food, unplug, leave door open. Use a plastic scraper to remove frost, wipe dry. Do not use electrical appliances or sharp objects.
Why is there water on the floor or inside the fridge?
Check if the drain opening is blocked (clean with a plastic straw). Ensure the evaporator pan is correctly placed, and the door is properly closed.
The refrigerator is making unusual noises. What should I do?
Ensure the appliance is level and not touching walls or cabinets. Vibration can come from loose interior parts or cans touching. A humming or gurgling sound is normal from refrigerant flow.
How do I clean the appliance?
Unplug the appliance. Use a soft cloth with warm water and mild detergent. For exterior, use a mild suds solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or alcohol on plastic parts. Clean the drain opening regularly.
Why is food freezing in the refrigerator compartment?
The thermostat may be set too cold. Adjust to a warmer setting. Also ensure food is not touching the back wall (cooling surface). Air vents should not be blocked.
What should I do if the interior light does not work?
Check if the power cord is plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. The bulb may be loose or burned out. Replace with a new bulb of the same type.
How much fresh food can I freeze at once?
The maximum quantity is indicated on the rating label inside the appliance. Exceeding this may reduce freezing quality.
Where can I find the model number and technical specifications?
The rating label with basic information (including model R1411F, climate class, electrical data) is attached inside the refrigerator compartment. If not in your language, replace with the supplied label.

Storing food in the refrigerator

Important warnings on food storage

⚠️ Appropriate use of the appliance, appropriate food packaging, maintaining the appropriate temperature and observing the hygienic guidelines will affect decisively the quality of food storage.
⚠️ Observe the best before dates indicated on the product packaging.
Food stored in the refrigerator should be placed in closed containers or otherwise suitably packed to prevent emitting scent and moisture.
Do not store infl ammable, volatile, and explosive substances in the refrigerator.
⚠️ Bottles with high alcohol content should be tightly sealed and stored in an upright position.
Some organic solutions, essential oils in lemon and orange peel, butter acid, etc. may damage the plastic surfaces in case of a prolonged contact, causing premature ageing of these materials.
⚠️ Unpleasant smell warns of poor appliance cleanliness or deteriorated food (see Cleaning and Maintenance).
⚠️ Remove perishables from the refrigerator before a longer period of absence from home.

Refrigerator interior equipment

The equipment depends on the models.

  • The shelves can be inserted to any of the shelf guides in the refrigerator interior. Food that perishes quickly should be kept at the back of the shelf where the temperatures are lower.
  • The bin / drawer at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment, under the glass shelf, is intended for storing fruit and vegetables. It provides humidity, thus preventing the food from dehydrating. The food must be appropriately packaged in order to prevent emitting or receiving smell and moisture.
  • Interior side of the refrigerator door is fitted with racks and bins intended for storing cheese, butter, eggs, yoghurt, and other smaller packages, tubes, cans, etc. The lower part of the door is fitted with a bottle rack.

Food storage time

Recommended storage time for the refrigerator

Foodsmoked Time
eggs, marinated meat, smoked meat up to cheese up to 10 days10 days
root vegetables up to 8 days
butter up to 7 days
deserts, fruit, ready-to-eat dishes, raw meat chunksup to 2 days
fi sh, raw chopped meat, seafood up to 1 day

Freezing fresh food and storing frozen food

Freezing procedure

UPO R1411F - Freezing procedure - 1

Maximum quantity of fresh food that can be introduced into the appliance at a time is indicated on the label with basic information on the appliance. If this quantity is exceeded, freezing quality will deteriorate, as will the quality of the already frozen food.

- 24 hours before freezing fresh food, rotate the A dial towards the thickest part of the marking;

Fresh food should not be in contact with the packages of already frozen food!

  • When freezing minor quantities of food (1-2 kg) the super freeze setting is not required.
  • After completing the freezing process, rotate the A knob back to the desired setting.

Important warnings on freezing fresh food

The freezer should only be used for freezing food that is appropriate for freezing. The food should always be fresh and of adequate quality.

Choose an appropriate packaging for the food and package it correctly.

The packaging should be airtight and watertight to prevent loss of humidity or vitamins from the food.

⚠️ Indicate the type of food, quantity, and freezing date on each food package.

It is important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible; therefore, smaller packages should be preferred. Before freezing, the food should be cooled.

  • When storing or using frozen food, observe the manufacturer's instructions. Temperature and best before date are indicated on the packaging.
  • Only choose food with undamaged packaging, stored in freezers at temperatures of -18ircC or lower.
  • Do not buy a food package covered with frost, as this is a sign that the food has been slightly thawed several times. Such food is of lesser quality.
  • When transporting frozen food, prevent it from defrosting / thawing. Higher temperature will result in shorter storage time and deteriorated food quality.

Storing pre-frozen food

Storage times for frozen food

Recommended time for storage in the freezer

Food Time
fruit, beef from 10 to 12 months
vegetables, veal, poultry from 8 to 10 months
venison from 6 to 8 months
pork from 4 to 6 months
chopped, dice, or ground meat 4 months
bread, pastry, ready-to-eat meals, lean fish3 months
tripes / innards 2 months
smoked sausage, fatty fi sh 1 month

Defrosting frozen food

Microorganisms are not destroyed by freezing. After defrosting, their activity is resumed intensively and the food may perish quickly. Therefore, use the thawed food as quickly as possible. Partial thawing decreases the nutritive value of the food, particularly fruit, vegetables, and ready-to-eat food.

Defrosting the appliance

Automatic refrigerator defrosting

The refrigerator does not require defrosting, as ice accumulated on the back wall of the refrigerator compartment interior is melted automatically.

The accumulated ice is thawed when the compressor is not operating. The drops will drip through the opening in the refrigerator back wall into a container above the compressor, from where they will evaporate.

If an excessive layer of ice is accumulated on the refrigerator back wall (3-5 mm), the appliance should be disconnected and defrosted manually.

Defrosting a conventional freezer

  • The freezer should be defrosted when approximately 3-5 mm of frost is accumulated.
  • 24 hours before defrosting, rrotate the A dial towards the thickest part of the marking;

After 24 hours, remove the frozen food from the freezer and protect them from thawing.

  • Disconnect the appliance – rotate the thermostat knob A to the position and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  • Leave the door open until the frost or ice can be easily removed from the surfaces using e.g. a plastic scraper. Be careful not to damage the freezer interior surfaces. Remove the frost or ice from the freezer using a cloth, before it melts.
  • Do not use electrical appliances to defrost the appliance (hairdryer etc.);
  • When defrosting the refrigerator, do not use any defrosting sprays as these may damage the plastic surfaces or harm your health.
  • Clean the appliance interior and wipe it dry (see cleaning the appliance).
  • Before putting the food back into the freezer, connect the appliance to the power mains and rotate the A knob back to the desired setting.

Cleaning the appliance

UPO R1411F - Cleaning the appliance - 1

natural_image Interior view of a refrigerator with shelves and a black arrow pointing to a small object on the shelf (no text or symbols visible)

Before cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the power mains - rotate the thermostat knob A to the STOP (0) position and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

- Use a soft cloth to clean all surfaces. Cleaners containing abrasive particles, acids, or solvents, are not appropriate as they will damage the surface.

Clean the appliance exterior with water or a mild solution of suds.

Lacquer-coated and aluminum surfaces can be cleaned with lukewarm water to which some mild detergent was added.

Cleaning agents with minor alcohol content are also acceptable (e.g. window cleaners).

Cleaners with alcohol content are not allowed for cleaning plastic parts.

Clean the appliance interior with lukewarm water to which you may add some vinegar.

  • Placed under the cooling board that cools the refrigerator interior are a trough (groove) and an opening through which melted water is discharged from the appliance interior. The through and the opening should never be blocked; therefore, check them often and clean as required (e.g. using a plastic straw).
  • Frost and ice accumulated in a layer of 3-5 mm will cause an increase in power consumption; therefore it should be removed regularly. Do not use any sharp objects, solvents, or sprays.
    • After cleaning, switch on the appliance and put the food back in.

Information on appliance noise

Cooling in the refrigerators-freezers is enabled by a cooling system with a compressor (with some appliances also a fan), which emits a certain level of noise during operation. The level of noise depends on installation, proper use, and appliance age.

  • After appliance startup, the compressor may be somewhat louder (fluid noise, noise caused by refrigerant flowing through the system). This is not a sign of malfunction and it will not affect the appliance useful life. Eventually, the level of this noise will be reduced.
  • Occasionally, sudden or louder noise may appear during appliance operation, which will appear uncommon; these are mostly the result of improper installation:

- The appliance must be placed horizontally and firmly on a solid base.

- The appliance should not be in contact with the wall or adjacent elements.

- Make sure the appliance interior equipment is appropriately fitted and that the noise is not caused by vibrating cans, bottles, or other containers in contact with each other.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGES THAT TO NOT AFFECT THE APPLIANCE FUNCTIONALITY.
