[. . . ] The lower part of the appliance is fridge and is used for storing fresh foods at the temperature of 0°C and higher. The upper part is freezer and is used for freezing fresh foods and storing frozen foods for longer periods of time (up to one year, depending on the kind of foods you store). Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, leave it stand for about 2 hours, which will reduce a possibility of malfunctions in the cooling system due to transport handling. ⷠClean the appliance, and be thorough, especially in the interior (See Cleaning and Maintenance). [. . . ] Regularly check the defrost water outlet and the channel, because they should never be clogged (as for example with food rests). The door liner consists of various shelves or holders used for storing eggs, cheese, butter and yogurt as well as other smaller packages, tubes, cans etc. The light for illuminating the interior of the appliance is on, when the door is opened. The operation of the light does not depend on the position of the thermostat knob. The tray at the bottom of the refrigerator is covered with the serving tray. This cover protects the stored fruit and vegetables from excessive drying. The appliance is controlled with thermostat knob, situated in the right upper part inside the appliance. ⷠIn STOP (0) position the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is switched off), yet power supply is not interrupted (the light is on, when you open the refrigerator door). ⷠTemperature in the refrigerator also depends on how often the door is opened. Higher settings on the knob (towards 7) mean lower temperatures (colder) in all three compartments of the appliance. Temperature in the interior of the appliance may even drop below 0°C. Higher settings should be used only in case higher temperature is recommended or required. Changes of the ambient temprature affect temperature in the interior of the appliance (choose correct setting of the thermostat knob). 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 as to prevent mixing various moisture degrees and odors (in polyethylene bags or sheet, aluminium foil, wax paper, or stored in covered containers or bottles). ⷠBefore storing food in the refrigerator, remove the excessive packaging (like yoghurt in multi-package). ⷠPack systematically and make sure that foodstuffs do not touch each other (various odours may mix). Beverages with high alcohol percentage should be stored in tightly sealed bottles in vertical position. ⷠFood should not touch the rear wall of the refrigerator! ⷠCrispy and delicate foods should be stored in the coldest parts of the refrigerator. ⷠSet the thermostat to the setting where lowest temperatures are reached. Temperature readings are most reliable few hour after steady state is reached. [. . . ] Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is enabled by the cooling system with compressor, which produces noise. How noisy the appliance is depends on where it is placed, how it is used and how old the appliance is. ⷠDuring the operation of the compressor the noise of liquid is heard and when the compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal condition and it has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance. [. . . ]
