[. . . ] They describe the appliance and its correct and safe use. They were prepared for various types/models of appliances therefore you might find in it description of some functions and accesories that do not apply to your appliance. Instructions Integrated appliances are equipped with instructions for mounting the appliance into the kitchen unit. The appliance should be professionally mounted by qualified technician and instructions are for his use only. We Care for the Environment · Our products use environmentally friendly packaging, which can be either recycled or disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. To this end, individual packaging materials are clearly marked. [. . . ] The connection to the mains supply and earthing have to be made according to current standards and regulations. The appliance resists temporary voltage tolerance up to -15 to +10 %. Instructions for Use 55 Description of the Appliance Freezing Compartment (1) is used for freezing fresh foods. Storing Compartment (2) is used for storing packages of frozen foods. Control Panel (3) See Operation Controls Defrost Water Outlet (4) (See Cleaning and Maintenance). 56 Instructions for Use Cold accumulators (some models only) In the upper part of the freezing compartment there are two cold accumulators. Before switching on the freezer for the first time, remove the accumulators and insert them again after the red light is off. · Both accumulators maintain uniform temperature of frozen foods therefore assuring higher quality of foods and reducing energy consumption. · If you remove the accumulators, the compartment can be used for freezing fruits (for example berries) or for ice making. · These accumulators can as well be used for maintaining lower temperatures of foods and bottles, for example when you make a trip or a picnic. NOTE: · The appliance can be equipped with various accesories, depending on the model of the appliance. Instructions for Use 57 Operation Control The freezer is controlled with the thermostat knob. Thermostat knob Mode of Operation Continuous operation - the yellow light is on. The cooling system operates continuously - the Super Function. 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. Automatic operation - the yellow light is off. The interior temperature is controlled by the thermostat which turns the cooling system on and off. The frequency of switching the cooling system on and off depends on: - the thermostat knob position (thermostat setting), - how often you open the door; and - ambient temperature. Temperature Selection When the freezer operates automatically, the interior temperature is controlled by the thermostat. The most suitable thermostat position is in the middle between max and min. We recommend setting the thermostat on positions towards max 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. Do not buy packages of food wrapped with frost. This indicates that the package was thawed before at least once. Take care that packages don't start to thaw. Temperature rise shortens the storage time of commercially frozen foods. Approximate Storage Time of Frozen Foods Food 1 Vegetable Fruit Bread, pastries Milk Ready-made meals Meat: Beef Veal Pork Poultry Game Minced meat Smoked sausages Fish: lean fat Offal 2 3 Storage time (in months) 4 5 6 7 8 + 9 + 10 + + 11 + 12 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Instructions for Use 61 Defrosting of Frozen Food Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy microorganisms which rapidly activate themselves after defrosting and make foods perishable. Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of foods, especially of fruits, vegetables and ready-made meals. 62 Instructions for Use Maintenance and Cleaning Freezer Defrosting Frost and ice layer, depositing on the inner walls of the freezer should be defrosted when 3-5 mm thick. · 24 hours before defrosting set the thermostat knob to the position for continuous operation (the yellow light is on) so that the food packages are well cooled. After that empty the freezer and take care that the packages don't start to thaw. · Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply. · Insert the enclosed pipe into the groove in the bottom of the appliance and place a vessel underneath to collect the defrost water. Defrosting is accelerated if the door is left open. [. . . ] · Replace the fastener and the washer in reverse order into the opening of the lower hinge on the opposite side of the appliance. · Take off all door corners and interchange them (instead of the corner with a hole insert the one without the hole and vice versa). · Put the door of the appliance on the lower hinge. · Fix the upper hinge and cover it.
