GB
 WE RECOMMEND THAT FROZEN FISH AND SAUSAGE SHOULD BE STORED IN THE FREEZER
COMPARTMENT NOT LONGER THAN 6 MONTHS; CHEESE, POULTRY, PORK, LAMB – NOT
MORE THAN 8 MONTHS; BEEF, FRUIT AND VEGETABLES – NOT LONGER THAN 12 MONTHS.

Defrosting the freezer compartment

The freezer compartment should be thawed not less than twice a year or when a layer of ice thicker than 5 mm
forms in it. Do the actions below in the order they are listed:
WARNING! Turn the appliance off and pull the plug out of the electrical socket.
 Remove foodstuffs from freezer compartment. The frozen foodstuffs will not warm up too much while you
are thawing the freezer compartment if you cover them with a thick cloth and keep them in a cool place.
Making ice-cubes
Ice-cubes are prepared in a tray for making ice-cubes 16 (Fig. 1). Fill each space in the ice cube tray ¾ full of
drinking water. Place the ice-cube tray in the fast-freeze section. When you want to remove the ice-cubes from
the ice-cube tray, leave it for 5 min at room temperature and then shake the cubes into the special dish for them.

Cleaning and care

! REGULARLY CLEAN THE APPLIANCE.
! Remember that before defrosting the freezer compartment and cleaning the back part of the appliance
body you must disconnect the appliance from the electrical energy supply socket by pulling the plug out of
the electricity outlet.
 Protect the appliance inner surfaces and plastic parts from fats, acids and sauces. In case of accidental spills –
immediately clean with warm soapy water or dishwashing detergent. Wipe dry.
 Clean the appliance inner surfaces with warm soapy water. Dishwashing detergent may also be used.
 Wipe dry inner and outer surfaces.
 Regularly clean the hermetic gaskets of the doors. Wipe dry.
 Regularly wash the trays and other accessories.
 WARNING! REGULARLY CLEAN THE THAW WATER CHANNEL SPACE WITH A SPECIAL
CLEANER 12 FOR THAT PURPOSE (Fig. 1).
 At least once a year clean dust away from the back part of the appliance body and the compressor. A soft
brush, electrostatic cloth or vacuum cleaner may be used for cleaning.
 DO NOT use detergents containing abrasive particles, acid, alcohol or benzene for cleaning the appliance
inner and outer surfaces.
 DO NOT use for cleaning cloths or sponges that have coarse surfaces intended for scrubbing.
Practical tips and observations
 Do not keep bananas in the refrigerator – these fruits are sensitive to cold.
 Do not keep prepared food and ready-to-cook ("heat and eat") food in the same container.
 Store in an airtight container in the appliance any foodstuffs that have a strong odour (e.g. fresh fish, pâté de
foie gras goose liver pâté, and cheese).
 Frozen foodstuffs should be thawed in the refrigerator compartment. Food that thaws slowly retains better
flavour properties and spread cold will help to maintain the set temperature in the refrigeration compartment.
 Do not consume ice made in the freezer chamber straight away.
 Products will freeze more quickly if they are divided up and packed in small portions.
 IF THE APPLIANCE IS TO BE LEFT SWITCHED OFF FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD, LEAVE ITS
DOORS OPEN.
 Pull out the melt water channel, turn it by 180° and hang it (Fig. 4). Place a
vessel under the melt water channel.
 Place a dish under the thaw water channels. Leave door of freezer
compartment open.
 When the ice melts, clean and wipe dry the surfaces and fixtures of the
freezer compartment.
 Remove the melt water channel, turn it by 180° again, and put it back in its
original place.
 Close the freezer compartment door. Plug in and turn on the appliance.
