Instructions for Use 19 142306 Warning!When storing longer bottles, install the rack on higher position not disturbing the closing of the door inner liner (vessels, bottles or food stored in the door), however its positioning on guides in the appliance is optional. Bottle stopper (4) (in some models only) The bottle stopper (number depends on the model) prevents the bottles from moving in the door rack. Door Liner The door liner consists of various shelves or holders used for storing eggs, cheese, butter and yogurt as well as other smaller packages, tubes, cans etc. The lower shelf is used for storing bottles. Illumination in the Interior of the Refrigerator Defrost Water Outlet (2) The interior of the refrigerator is cooled with cooling plate incorporated in the rear wall. Under the plate there is a channel and an outlet for defrost water. Regularly check the defrost water outlet and the channel, because they should never be clogged (as for example with food rests). If clogged, use a plastic straw and clean it. The light for illuminating the interior of the appliance is on, when the door is opened. The operation of the light does not depend on the position of the thermostat knob. NOTE: · The appliance can be equipped with various accesories, depending on the model of the appliance. · Door handles have various shapes, depending on the model. · Various accesories (spice container, tube holder or additional shelves) can be bought in authorized centres. Fruit and Vegetable Container (3) The container is on the bottom of the appliance under the glass shelf. It provides adequate humidity which has favourable effect on fruit and vegetables stored in it (less dehydration). Operation Control The appliance is controlled with thermostat knob, situated in the right upper part inside the appliance. Turn the knob from STOP (0) position towards 7 and backwards. · In STOP (0) position the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is switched off), yet power supply is not interrupted (the light is on, when you open the refrigerator door). · Temperature in the refrigerator also depends on how often the door is opened. Temperature Selection · Higher settings on the knob (towards 7) mean lower temperatures (colder) in all compartments of the appliance. Temperature in the interior of the appliance may even drop below 0°C. Higher settings should be used only in case higher temperature is recommended or required. When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend medium setting. · Changes of the ambient temprature affect temperature in the interior of the appliance (choose correct setting of the thermostat knob). Use Storing Fresh Foods Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct temperature and taking into account hygienic precautions will substantially influence the quality of the food stored. · Foods to be stored in the refrigerator should be properly packed as to prevent mixing various moisture degrees and odors (in polyethylene bags or sheet, aluminium foil, wax paper, or stored in covered containers or bottles). · Before storing food in the refrigerator, remove the excessive packaging (like yoghurt in multi-package). · Pack systematically and make sure that foodstuffs do not touch each other (various odours may mix). [. . . ] How noisy the appliance is depends on where it is placed, how it is used and how old the appliance is. · During the operation of the compressor the noise of liquid is heard and when the compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal condition and it has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance. · After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor and the refrigerant flow may be louder, which does not mean that something is wrong with the appliance and it has no influence on the lifetime of the appliance.
