Instructions for Use These instructions for use are intended for the user. [. . . ] · 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). Assure adequate air circulation around packages. · Never store inflammable, volatile or explosive substances. · 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. · Try not to open the door too often. · Set the thermostat to the setting where lower temperatures are reached. Set the thermostat gradually as to avoid freezing of the foods. Time required for the ice to form, largely depends on ambient temperature, thermostat setting and on how often you open the door. It usually takes 2-6 hours (depends on which model of refrigerator you have). With smaller refrigerators we recommend you make a stock of ice cubes (store them in a separate plastic box). The easiest way to empty the ice tray is to turn the tray around, pour it with cold water and slightly twist it (bend it). 68 Instructions for Use Maintenance and Cleaning Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice depositing on the inner back wall is defrosted automatically. Ice is depositing on the inner back wall during the compressor operation; later on, when the compressor is not operating ice is defrosting and water drops collect and drain through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor, from where it evaporates. Manual Defrosting of the Freezer When the frost and ice layer in the freezer is 3-5 mm thick, you should clean the freezer. · Few hours before defrosting set the thermostat to position 7, so that packages are well frozen. Reset the thermostat to STOP (0) position and disconnect the power supply. Empty the freezer and take care that the packages remain frozen. · Leave the door open for a while so that you can easy scrape off the frost. Use the plastic scraper but be careful not to damage the inner surfaces of the freezer. Wipe up the scraped frost and ice before it is completely defrosted. [. . . ] · Take off all door corners and interchange them (instead of the corner with a hole insert the one without the hole and vice versa). · Remove the washer from the lower hinge and unscrew (rotate it in clockwise) the fastener on the lower hinge. Fix the lower hinge, without the fastener. · Replace the fastener and the washer in reverse order into the opening of the lower hinge on the opposite side of the appliance. [. . . ]
