Storage time and temperature of
foods
The enclosed charts at the end of the user's
instructions give information about storage time in the
frozen and the fresh food compartment.
The storage time can not be determined exactly in
advance, as it depends on the freshness and handling
of the cooled food. That is why the storage time made
known is only informative.
It is safe to store quick-frozen food only that way if they
were not dissolved even for a short time until placing
them into the frozen food compartment.
How to use the four-star frozen food
compartment
Depending on the position of the thermostatic control
-18 °C or lower can be kept here.
At this temperature for a certain time deep-frozen
products available on the market can be stored. It is
also suitable for freezing and storing smaller quantity
of fresh food.
In 24 hours' time approximately 2 kgs of food can be
frozen.
Pack the foods tightly in plastic or aluminium foil, cool
them in the fresh food compartment and then place to
the frozen food compartment.
It is recommended to write the date on it when it was
placed in.
You can put the next product to be frozen into the
frozen food compartment if the previous one has
already been frozen thoroughly.
How to use the fresh food
compartment
For adequate cooling developing interior air
circulation is necessary. For this reason you are
asked not to cover the whole surface of the wire
shelves with paper, trays, etc.
Do not put hot food into the refrigerator.
Allow it to reach room temperature naturally.
In this way the unnecessary frost building up can
be avoided.
Foods can take over odours from each
other. So it is essential to put foods in
closed dishes or wrap them in cellophane,
aluminium foil, grease-proof paper or cling film
before placing them into the refrigerator. This way
foods will keep their moisture e.g. vegetables will
not dry out after some days.

How to make ice cubes

To make ice cubes fill the enclosed ice cube tray
with water and put it to the frozen food
compartment. Wetting the bottom of the tray and
setting thermostatic control knob to maximum
stage can shorten preparing time. After finishing do
not forget to reset the thermostatic control to the
suitable stage.
Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under
running water then twist or hit it.
Some useful information and
advice
The variable shelves are worth paying
attention to, which increases the usefulness
of the fresh food compartment considerably.
Rearranging the shelves is also possible when the
door is open at an angle of 90°.
The inside configuration of the door makes
rearranging the door shelves as required possible.
