[. . . ] Freezer is for domestic use and is used for freezing fresh foods and storing frozen foods (up to one year, depending on the kind of food you store). Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, leave it stand for about 2 hours, which will reduce a possibility of malfunctions in the cooling system due to transport handling. Clean the appliance, and be thorough, especially in the interior (See Cleaning and Maintenance). In case the interior accessories are not correctly placed, rearrange them as described in chapter Description of the Appliance. [. . . ] 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 56 Instructions for Use The appliance is controlled with thermostat knob, situated in the right upper part inside the refrigerator. Turn the knob clockwise from STOP (0) position towards 7 and backwards. Higher settings on the knob (towards 7) mean lower temperatures (colder) in the refrigerator. Temperature in the refrigerator may even drop below 0°C. Use higher settings only when required or recommended. when the ambient temperature is normal , we recommend medium setting. Changes of the ambient temprature affect temperature in the interior of the refrigerator (choose correct setting of the thermostat knob). In STOP (0) position the refrigerator 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 you open the door. 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. Optimum storage conditions depend on the thermostat setting, ambient temperature, how loaded the appliance is and how often you open the door. Don't forget, temperature changes are noted on the meter some 48 hours after the thermostat position was changed. Sound alarm is on because of inappropriate temperature. It may be switched off by pressing the alarm button . put the mode selection switch to the continuous operation position. Place fresh food into the freezer several hours after the red signal lamp goes off. There is no need to set the switch to the position for continuous operation if you intend to freeze smaller amount of fresh foods (1-2 kg). If you remove the baskets, you can store frozen packages directly on the cooling shelves. Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct temperature and taking into account hygienic precautions will substantially influence the quality of freezing the food or storing of the frozen foodstuffs. Carefully select food to be frozen: it should be of adequate quality and suitable for freezing. Choose correct packaging for each kind of food and pack it correctly. [. . . ] The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor and condenser (assure adequate air circulation and wipe off the condenser). As long as the defrost water runs to the channel and through the opening to the drain pan on the compressor, automatic defrosting of the appliance is assured. In case the ice formation on the inner back wall is increased (3-5 mm), ice should be manually defrosted. set the thermostat knob to STOP (0) position and leave the door open. [. . . ]
