[. . . ] If you want to Fruit and Vegetable Container (3) The container is on the bottom under the glass shelf and is used mainly for storing fruits and vegetables. It provides adequate humidity which has favourable effect on food stored (less dehydration). Bottle stopper (4) (in some models only) The bottle stopper (number depends on the model) prevents the bottles from moving in the door rack. Instructions for Use 47 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. 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. Illumination in the Interior of the Refrigerator The light for illuminating the interior of the appliance is on, when the door is opened. The Operation Control situated in the right upper part inside the refrigerator. Turn the knob clockwise from STOP (0) position towards 7 and backwards. The appliance is controlled with thermostat knob, Changes of the ambient temprature affect temperature in the interior of the appliance (choose correct setting of the thermostat knob). 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 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. When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend medium setting. 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. 49 Instructions for Use Commercially Frozen Foods The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing commercially frozen foods are indicated on the packaging. For storing and using consider the manufacturer's instruction. When shopping, be careful and choose only adequately packed foods provided with complete data and stored in freezers where the temperature is not higher than -18°C. Do not buy packages of food covered with frost layer. This indicates that the package was thawed before at least once. Be careful that packages don't start to thaw, as the temperature raise reduces the quality of foods.

Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy microorganisms which rapidly activate after defrosting and make foods perishable. Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of foods, especially of fruits, vegetables and readymade meals. Ice Making Recommended thermostat position for ice making is on the middle setting. Fill two thirds of the ice tray with cold water or any other liquid convenient for freezing. Insert the ice tray into the guides or on the cooling plate. Time required for the ice to form, largely depends on ambient temperature, thermostat setting and on how often you open the door. [. . . ] Leave the door slightly open. 52 Instructions for Use Trouble-Shooting Guide During the service, you can come across some troubles that in most cases result from improper handling of the appliance and can easy be eliminated. Manually defrost the increased ice layer. See "Ice Formation on the Inner Back Wall". The Freezer Door is Hard to Open If you want to open the door that has just or recently been closed, you may find it hard to open. The reason why this happens is, that when you open the door, warm air gets into the appliance and when it is getting cool, the underpressure seals the door. [. . . ]
