5 Using your refrigerator
Temperature setting button
The interior temperature of your
refrigerator changes for the following
reasons;
• Seasonal temperatures,
• Frequent opening of the door and
leaving the door open for long
periods,
• Food put into the refrigerator
without cooling down to the room
temperature,
• The location of the refrigerator in the
room (e.g. exposing to sunlight).
You may adjust the varying interior
temperature due to such reasons by
using the thermostat. If the ambient
temperature is higher than 32°C, turn
the thermostat button to maximum
position.
Storing the frozen food
Prepacked commercially frozen
food should be stored in accordance
with the frozen food manufacturer's
instructions for a frozen food
storage compartment.
The freezing area is marked with
symbol on the door liner.
To ensure that the high quality achieved
by the frozen food manufacturer and the
food retailer is maintained the following
should be remembered:
1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly
as possible after purchase.
2. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best
Before" dates on the packaging.
3. Please note that drawers, baskets,
flaps, trays are all removable.
Defrosting
Defrost twice a year or when a frost
layer of around 7 mm (1/4") has formed.
To start defrosting procedure turn the
thermostat knob to zero position
(Alternatively you may switch off the
freezer at the socket outlet and pull out
the mains plug.)
All food should be wrapped in several
layers of newspaper and stored in a
cool place (e.g. fridge or larder).
Remove all freezer drawers.The
special defrost collection basin collects
the defrost water. Therefore defrosting
can be conducted without mess.
Containers full of warm water may be
placed carefully in the freezer to speed
up the defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp edged
objects such as knives, forks to remove
the frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters
and other similar electrical
appliances for defrosting.
When defrosting has finished, sponge
out any defrost water which collects at
the bottom of the freezer and dry the
interior thoroughly. Turn the thermostat
knob to mid point. Close the freezer
door. Insert the plug into the wall socket
and switch on the electricity supply.

How to Freeze Fresh Foods
• Foods to be frozen must be divided
into portions according to a size to
be consumed, and frozen in separate
packages. In this way, all the food
should be prevented from being re-
frozen by thawing.
• In order to protect the nutritional
value, the aroma and the color of
the foods as much as possible,
vegetables should be boiled for a
short period of time before freezing.
(Boiling is not necessary for foods
such as cucumber, parsley.) Cooking
time of the vegetables frozen in this
way is shortened by 1/3 than that of
the fresh vegetables.
• To extend the storage times of frozen
foods, boiled vegetables must first
be filtered and then hermetically
packaged as in the all types of foods.
• Foods should not be placed in
the freezer compartment without
package.
• The packaging material of the food
to be stored should be air-tight, thick
and durable and should not deform
with cold and humidity. Otherwise,
the food that is hardened by freezing
might pierce the package. Sealing
the package well is also important in
terms of securely storing the food.
The following packaging types are
suitable for use to freeze the food:
Polyethylene bag, aluminum foil,
plastic foil, vacuum bags and cold-
resistant storage containers with caps.
The use of the following types of
packaging is not recommended to
freeze the food;
Packaging paper, parchment
paper,cellophane (gelatin paper),
garbage bag, used bags and shopping
bags.
• Hot foods should not be placed in the
freezer compartment without cooling.
• When placing unfrozen fresh foods in
the freezer compartment, please note
that it does not contact with frozen
foods. Cool-pack (PCM) (if any) can
be placed to the rack immediately
below the quick freezer rack for
preventing them from being getting
warm.
• During the freezing time (24 hours) do
not place other food to the freezer.
• Place your foods to the freezing
shelves or racks by spreading them
so that they will not be cramped (it
is recommended that the packaging
does not come into contact with
each other).
• Frozen foods must be immediately
consumed in a short period of time
after defrosting and must never be
frozen again.
• We recommend you to attach a label
onto the package and write the name
of the foods in the package and the
freezing time.
Foods suitable for freezing:
• Fish and seafood, red and white
meat, poultry, vegetables, fruit,
herbaceous spices, dairy products
(such as cheese, butter and strained
yoghurt), pastries, ready or cooked
meals, potato dishes, souffle and
desserts.
Foods not suitable for freezing:
• Yoghurt, sour milk, cream,
mayonnaise, leaved salad, red radish,
grapes, all fruits (such as apple, pears
and peaches).
• For foods to be frozen quickly and
thoroughly, the following specified
amounts per package should not be
exceeded.
-Fruits and vegetables, 0.5-1 kg
-Meat, 1-1.5 kg
• A small amount of foods (maximum
2 kg) can also be frozen without the
use of the quick freezing function.
To obtain the best result, apply the
following instructions:
1. Switch the adjusting knob to MAX.
position 24 hours before placing your
fresh foods.
2. 24 hours after turning the thermostat
knob, place your food that you want
to freeze to the bottom shelf with
higher freezing capacity, starting from
left to the middle of the drawer.
3. Do not forget to turn the thermostat
knob to its previous position, after
placing your food.
4. Do not try to freeze a large quantity
of food at a time. Within 24 hours,
this product can freeze the maximum
food quantity specified as «Freezing
Capacity … kg/24 hours» on its type
label. It is not convenient to put more
unfrozen/fresh foods to the freezer
compartment than the quantity
specified on the label.
• You can review the Meat and Fish,
Vegetables and Fruits, Dairy Products
tables for placing and storing your
foods in the deep-freezer.
Recommendations for
Preservation of
Frozen Foods
• While purchasing your frozen foods,
make sure that they are frozen at
appropriate temperatures and their
packages are not broken.
• Put the packages on the freezer
compartment as soon as possible
after purchasing them.
• Make sure that the expiration
date indicated on the packaging
is not expired before consuming
the packaged ready meals that
you remove from the freezer
compartment.
Deep Freezer Information
The EN 62552 standard requires
(according to specific measurement
conditions) that at least 4.5 kg of food for
each 100 liter of freezer compartment
volume can be frozen
at a room temperature of 25°C in 24
hours.
Defrosting the frozen foods
Depending on the food diversity and
the purpose of use, a selection can be
made between the following options for
defrosting:
• At room temperature (it is not very
suitable to defrost the food by leaving
it at room temperature for a long
time in terms of maintaining the food
quality)
• In the refrigerator
• In the electrical oven (in models with
or without fan)
• In the microwave oven
CAUTION:
• Never put acidic beverages in glass
bottles and cans into your freezer due
to the risk of explosion.
• If there is moisture and abnormal
swelling in the packaging of frozen
foods, it is likely that they were
previously stored in an improper
storage condition and their contents
deteriorated. Do not consume these
foods without checking.
• Since some spices in cooked
meals may change their taste when
exposed to long-term storage
conditions, your frozen foods should
be less seasoned or the desired
spices should be added to the foods
after the thawing process.

6 Maintenance and cleaning
• We recommend that you switch off
the appliance at the socket outlet
and pull out the mains plug before
cleaning.
• Never use any sharp abrasive
instrument, soap, household
cleaner, detergent and wax polish for
cleaning.
• Use luke warm water to clean the
cabinet of the appliance and wipe it
dry.
• Use a damp cloth wrung out in
a solution of one teaspoon of
bicarbonate of soda to one pint of
water to clean the interior and wipe
it dry.
• Excess deposit of ice should be
removed on a regular basis using
the handle of a spoon. Large
accumulation of ice will impair the
performance of the freezer.
• If the freezer is not going to be used
for a long period of time switch it
off,remove all food, clean it and leave
the door ajar.
• To remove a drawer, pull it as far as
possible, and then tilt it upwards, and
then pull it out completely.
• Any dust that gathers on the
condenser, which is located at
the back of the freezer, should be
removed once a year with a vacuum
cleaner.
• Check door seals regularly to ensure
they are clean and free from food
particles..
• Never :
• Clean the worktop with unsuitable
material; eg petroleum based
products.
• Subject it to hot temperatures in any
way, Scour, rub etc., with abrasive
material.
ANever use cleaning agents or water
that contain chlorine to clean the
outer surfaces and chromium coated
parts of the product. Chlorine causes
corrosion on such metal surfaces.
