STORING FOOD

Cooling compartment

• To reduce moisture and subsequent ice build-up, never put liquid into the refrigerator in unsealed containers. Frost tends to concentrate in the coolest parts of the evaporator. Storing uncovered liquids results in a more frequent need for defrosting.
• Never put warm foods in the refrigerator. These should first cool down at room temperature and then be placed so as to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator.
• Foods or food containers should not touch the back wall of the refrigerator because they could freeze to the wall. Do not open the refrigerator door too often.
• Meat and clean fish (packed in a package or plastic foil) can be placed in the refrigerator, which can be used in 1–2 days.
• Fruit and vegetables without packaging can be placed in the part designated for fresh fruit and vegetables.
• Under normal operating conditions, it is sufficient to adjust the refrigerator temperature setting to +4 ° C.
• The temperature of the refrigerator compartment should be between 0-8 ° C, fresh food is icy and rotting at temperatures below 0 ° C, and at temperatures above 8 ° C the amount of bacteria increases and the food spoils.
• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator; let it cool down to room temperature. Hot foods raise the temperature of the refrigerator and can cause food poisoning or unnecessary spoilage.
• Meat, fish and similar foods should be stored in the chiller and vegetables in the vegetable compartment (if available).
• To avoid cross-contamination, do not store meat products with fruits and vegetables.
• Food in the refrigerator should be stored in closed containers or other suitable containers so as not to release odors and moisture into the refrigerator.

Freezer compartment

• The freezer is designated for the storage of food frozen at very low temperatures, long-term storage of frozen food, and for the production of ice.
• Only use the shelves in the door of the freezer to store frozen food, not for storing hot food designated for freezing.
• Do not put fresh and frozen food next to each other. The frozen food may thaw.
• When freezing fresh food (such as meat, fish, or chopped meat), cut them into parts that can be used at the same time.
• Storing frozen food: instructions are usually stated on the packages, which must be followed. If there is no information on the packaging, food should not be stored for longer than three months from the date of purchase.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it was frozen at a suitable temperature and that the packaging is not damaged.
• Frozen food should be kept in suitable packages to retain its quality and should be returned to the freezer compartment as soon as possible.
• If a package of frozen food shows moisture or abnormal bulging, it is probable that it was stored at the wrong temperature and the content is spoiled.
• The storage period for frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermostat setting, the frequency of opening the door of the freezer, the type of food and the time of transporting the product from the shop to the household. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage time stated on the package.
• To achieve the ideal appliance efficiency and maximum freezing capacity, set the refrigerator to 4°C for 24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer.
• Usually, changing the setting to 2°C for 24 hours is sufficient when fresh food is placed in the freezer. You can lower the setting if necessary after 24 hours.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Before cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the electricity socket.
• Do not clean the appliance with water.
• The refrigerator and the freezer should be periodically cleaned using a lukewarm water solution and edible soda.
• Clean accessories separately using soapy water. Do not use a washing machine.
• Do not use abrasive products, detergents, and soaps. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. After cleaning, use dry hands to plug the appliance into the electricity socket.
• Clean the condenser (the back part of the appliance) using a brush a minimum of once a year. This will increase productivity and save energy.

Recommendation
If you are not using the appliance for a long time (for example during summer holidays), disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply, clean it and leave the door open. This will prevent the origination of mold and odor.

Defrosting the refrigerator

• Defrosting occurs automatically during operation in part of the refrigerator; water flows into the evaporation channel and is automatically evaporated.
• The evaporator duct and water drain hole should be cleaned periodically. This will prevent the accumulation of water in the lower part.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the refrigerator does not work correctly, before calling a service technician, check the appliance according to the following instructions:

The refrigerator does not work Check that:

• The electricity supply is not interrupted.
• The main switch for the electric current is not off.
• the thermostat is not set to 0 position,
• The electricity socket is working. To check, plug another appliance that you know is working into the same socket.

The performance of the refrigerator is low Check that:

• there is not too much food placed in the appliance,
• is the thermostat set to position 1 (if yes, set the thermostat to a higher value)
• the door is properly closed,
• isn’t there dust on the condenser,
• is there is enough space around the rear and side walls to circulate the air.

The refrigerator is noisy
Cooling gas, which circulates in the refrigerator, may cause a slight noise (bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry, this is completely normal. If these sounds are different, make sure that:

• the appliance is in the horizontal position,
• It is not in contact with the rear side.
• Parts of the appliance do not vibrate.

Water is in the lower part of the refrigerator Check that:

• The water drain hole for the defrosting is not clogged (use a defrosting drain plug to drain water and clean the hole).
