[. . . ] Thank you for your trust and for buying this appliance. We hope it will successfully serve the purpose for many years. upright Refrigerator - Freezer is a houshold appliance and it consists of the refrigerator (the upper part) and freezer (the lower part). Refrigerator is for domestic use only and is used for storing fresh foods at the temperature of 0°C and higher. [. . . ] 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 multipackage). Pack systematically and make sure that foodstuffs do not touch each other (various odours may mix). Beverages with high alcohol percentage shall be stored in tightly sealed bottles in vertical position. Food should not touch the rear wall of the refrigerator!Foods should be cooled down before storing. Crispy and delicate foods should be stored in the coldest parts of the refrigerator. Set the thermostat to the setting where lower temperatures are reached. Temperature readings are most reliable few hour after steady state is reached. some organic solutions like volatile oils in lemon or orange peel , acid in butter etc. Can cause damage and when in contact with plastic surfaces or gaskets for longer period of time they can cause accelerated ageing of the plastic material. Unpleasant odor inside the refrigerator is a sign that something is wrong with foods or that your refrigerator needs cleaning. Unpleasant odor can be eliminated or reduced by washing the interior of the refrigerator with a mild solution of water and vinegar. We also recommend using activated carbon filters to clean the air or to neutralize odors. If you plan a longer journey, make sure to remove quickly perishable articles of food out of the appliance before you leave.

How often you open the door; and ambient temperature. Sound alarm button, red light (3) Sound alarm is triggered and red light is on if the freezer compartment is not under correct temperature (see section Troubleshooting guide). This switch is used to select one of the two operation modes: continuous and automatic. Settings towards max (7) are recommended only in case you want to accelerate cooling, as for example before loading smaller amounts of fresh foods or when the operation mode shall correspond to the ambient temperature. Thermostat settings towards min (1) help you save energy provided that the freezer is loaded with smaller amount of frozen foods. This mode is selected when you want to freeze large amounts of fresh foods and in case you want to deep freeze already frozen foods. [. . . ] Never use electric devices for defrosting and do not scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp objects. After completed defrosting, turn the knob to desired position and close the refrigerator door. The cause of increased ice formation may be one of the following: the door does not seal well (clean the gasket if it is contaminated, or replace it if it is damaged); the door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too long; the food stored in the refrigerator was warm; the food or dish is touching the inner back wall. The Appliance Fails to Operate After Connecting to the Mains Supply Check the supply in the outlet socket and make sure the appliance is switched on (the green light is on). [. . . ]
