• Set the thermostat to the setting where lower temperatures are
reached. Set the thermostat gradually as to avoid freezing of
the foods.
Use a thermometer and measure the temperature in the
individual compartments. Place the thermostat in a glass
vessel filled with water. 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.

Freezing Fresh Foods
• Carefully select food you intend to freeze; it should be of
adequate quality and suitable for freezing.
• Use correct packaging and wrap it right.
− The packaging should be air tight and shouldn't leak
since this could cause substantial vitamin loss and
dehydration of foods.
− Foils and bags should be soft enough to tightly wrap
around the foods.
• Mark packages with following data: kind and amount of
foods and the date of loading.
• It is most important that the food is frozen as quickly as
possible. Therefore we recommend the size of the package
not to be too large and to be cooled before loading into the
freezer.
• The amount of fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer
within 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate (freezing
capacity). If the loaded amount is too large, the quality of
freezing is reduced which affects the quality of frozen foods.
Freezing Procedure
• If you have a model without the integrated switch for
intensive cooling, turn the thermostat knob to position 4-6
some 24 hours before loading. After 24 hours load the
freezer shelf with fresh food packages. Some 24 hours after
loading, turn the thermostat knob to operating position if
necessary (see "Temperature selection"), and then reload
the frozen packages into the storage baskets (storing
compartment).
If you have a model with integrated switch for intensive
cooling, switch it on some 24 hours before loading the
appliance with larger amounts of fresh foods and turn the
thermostat knob to position 4-6. After 24 hours load the
appliance with fresh food packages. After loading, wait for
another 24 hours and switch off the switch and turn the
thermostat knob to required position (see "Temperature
selection").
The switch is ON when the marking
is visible, and OFF when the marking
colour marking is not visible (depending on model).

Instructions for Use
• 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.

• The next time you want to freeze fresh foods, repeat the
freezing procedure and be careful that packages with fresh
foods do not touch frozen packages.
• For freezing smaller amount of foods (up to 1 kg) there is no
need to change the thermostat setting (see Temperature
Selection).
Storing Frozen Foods
Packages of frozen foods are stored in the basket. If you
remove the baskets, you can store frozen packages directly
on the cooling shelves.
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.
