USING THE COLD STORAGE
The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment is set by turning the thermostat knob. It is recommended to install the thermostat in the middle position. The cold air in the refrigerator compartment circulates in such a way that a lower temperature is set in the lower part of the compartment. To properly place food in the compartments to ensure the best storage conditions, follow the storage instructions: if stored incorrectly, even the freshest food will quickly deteriorate. The refrigerator compartment is equipped with convenient shelves, the height of which can be adjusted using special guides. This allows you to place large packages and tall bottles on the shelves. Do not put liquids in containers without a lid in the refrigerator, in order to avoid an increase in humidity, because this leads to an increase in temperature in the refrigerator.

USING THE FREEZER
In order to ensure the best storage conditions for products, follow the recommendations below. Products intended for freezing and storage in the freezer should be carefully packed to avoid the formation of excessive frost. ­
– Preferably, the products placed inside the freezer should not come into contact with the back and side walls.
– For proper storage and ease of subsequent defrosting, place the products in small portions.
– Do not place full glass containers with freezing liquids in the freezer for a long time, especially if
– They contain tightly sealed effervescent or carbonated drinks.
The liquid, crystallizing, can destroy the container.
– Do not put liquids in containers without a lid in the freezer, in order to avoid an increase in humidity, because this leads to an increase in temperature.

6. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

To defrost the refrigerator, put the thermostat knob in the «0» and disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply. At the time of defrosting, wrap the frozen products in several layers and place them, if possible, in a cold place. Wash and dry the refrigerator compartment thoroughly before turning it on again. If a layer of frost with a thickness of more than 5 mm has formed in the freezer during operation, it should be prepared for defrosting. To do this, remove the products from it and place them on the shelves of the refrigerator. Next, leave the freezer door open and install any container for collecting melt water, then wash the freezer and wipe dry. Always store strong-smelling products in tightly closed containers to avoid the formation of odors that will be difficult to remove later.

Wash the inside and outside surfaces of the refrigerator with a sponge or a soft cloth. Use neutral detergents. Never use powder abrasive detergents, alkaline compounds, organic acids and hot water, this can damage the paintwork. Do not use sharp or metal objects, it may damage the refrigerator. All removable parts can be washed with a solution of soap or detergent in water. They can also be washed in the dishwasher.

Carefully vacuum the back of the refrigerator using suitable nozzles. If you are not going to use the refrigerator for a long time, disconnect it from the power supply, wash it inside, dry it and leave the doors ajar to avoid the formation of unpleasant Odors and mold.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SAVING ELECTRICITY
Install the refrigerator correctly At a sufficient distance from heat sources, in a well-ventilated room, in accordance with the recommendations of the REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION point. Set the temperature correctly Set the thermostat to the middle position. Setting an excessively low temperature will only affect the increase in electricity consumption, but will not improve the safety of products. Do not overfill the refrigerator Sufficient air circulation is important for the safety of products. Overfilling with food interferes with free air circulation, proper operation of the refrigerator and causes additional electricity consumption. Keep the door closed Open the doors only if necessary, remember that each opening of the door slightly increases the temperature inside the refrigerator and electricity is consumed to restore the previous temperature. Make sure that the sealing rubber on the refrigerator doors remains clean and fits snugly to the case when closed, this will avoid leakage of cold air.

Do not place hot food Hot foods placed in the refrigerator immediately raise the temperature by several degrees. Let the food and dishes cool to room temperature, then put them in the refrigerator.
