OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

DEFROSTING YOUR APPLIANCE

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 so as to prevent mixing various moisture degrees

and odors (in polyethylene bags or sheet, aluminum foil, wax

paper, or stored in covered containers or bottles).

Before storing food in the refrigerator, remove excessive

packaging (like yogurt in multi-package).

Pack systematically and make sure that foodstuffs do not

touch each other (various odors may mix). Assure adequate

air circulation around packages.

Never store flammable, volatile or explosive substances.

Beverages with high alcohol percentage shouldl be stored in

tightly sealed bottles in a vertical position.

Food should not touch the rear wall of the refrigerator.

Foods should be cooled down before storing.

Crispy and delicate foods should be stored in the coldest

parts of the refrigerator.

Try not to open the door too often.

Set the thermostat to a setting where lowest temperatures are

reached. Set the thermostat gradually so as to avoid freezing

of 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 reli-

able a few hours after steady state conditions have been

reached.

Some organic solutions like volatile oils in lemon and orange

peel, acid in butter etc. can cause damage when in contact

with plastic surfaces or gaskets for long periods of time.

Unpleasant odors inside the refrigerator are a sign that some-

thing is wrong with the food or that your refrigerator needs

cleaning. Unpleasant odors 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 car-

bon filters to clean the air or to neutralize odors.

If you are planning a long journey, make sure to remove

perishable articles of food from the appliance before you

leave.

Defrosting of your refrigerator should take place whenever ice build-up inside the freezer compartment reaches 1/4” (6mm) thick.

Defrosting may take a few hours, depending on the amount of accumulated ice and ambient indoor temperature. To speed up the

defrosting process, remove all frozen foods from the freezer section. Leaving the door partially ajar for a short period of time will

also speed up the process.

Note: Never use sharp or pointed instruments to remove ice from the freezer compartment. The freezer compartment contains

refrigerated gas lines and if accidentally punched/pierced, will render the refrigerator inoperable and void the manufacturer’s

warranty.

DO NOT ALLOW THE REFRIGERATOR TO CONTINUE OPERATION IF THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT IS PIERCED.

After defrosting is complete, set the control to maximum for 2 to 3 hours before returning to the desired position. When the refrig-

erator is not to be used for a long period of time, disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply and leave the door partially

open. This will help to reduce mold and mildew build-up.

Note: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before attempting to restart the refrigerator if operation has been interrupted.
