Tips on storing fresh food
Storing into the fridge compartment

• Keep your fridge temperature below 50 C.
• Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the appliance.
• Foods stored in the fridge should be washed and dried before storing
• Food to be stored should be properly sealed to avoid odour or taste alterations.
• Do not store excessive quantities of food. Leave spaces between foods to allow cold air flowing around them. for a better and more homogeneous cooling.
• Foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the shelf.
• Leave a gap between foods and the inner walls. allowing air flowing. In special way don’t store foods against the rear wall: foods could freeze against rear wall. Avoid di­rect contact of food (especially oily or acidic food) with the inner liner. as oil/acid can erode the inner liner. Clean away oily/acid dirt whenever it is found.
• Defreeze frozen food in the fridge storage compartment. This way. you can use the frozen food to decrease the temperature in the compartment and save energy.
• The ageing process of fruit and vegetables such as courgettes. melons. papaya. ba­nana. pineapple, etc. can be accelerated in the fridge. Therefore, it is not advisable to store them in the fridge. However. the ripening of strongly green fruits can be pro­moted for a certain period. Onions, garlic. ginger and other root vegetables should also be stored at room temperature.
• Unpleasant odours inside the fridge are a sign that something has spilled and clean­ing is required. See CARE AND CLEANING.
• Different foods should be placed in different areas according to their properties (Fig. 5.12.1 ):

1. Butter, cheese. etc.
2. Pickled foods. canned food, etc.
3. Pickled foods. canned food, etc.
4. Cans, canned food. spices, etc.
5. Meat products snack foods. etc
6. Drinks and bottled foods.
7. Pasta, canned food. milk. tofu, dairy etc.
8. Fruits. vegetables. salad, etc
9. Cooked meat. sauages, etc

Storage into the freezer compartment

• Keep the freezer temperature at- l8°C.
• 24 hours before freezing switch on the Super-Freeze function; -for small quantities of food 4-6 hours are sufficient.
• Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the freezer com­partment.
• Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and be easier to defrost and cook. The recommended weight for each portion is less than 2.5 kg
• It is better to pack food before putting it into the freezer. The outside of the pack­aging must be dry to avoid bags sticking together. Packaging materials should be odour-free, airtight. non-poisonous and nontoxic.
• In order to avoid expiration of storage periods, please note the freezing date, time limit and name of the food on the packaging according to the storage periods of dif­ferent foods.
• WARNING!: Acid. alkali and salt etc. could erode the internal surface of the freezer. Do not place the food having these substances (e.g. sea fish) directly on the internal surface. Salt water in the freezer should be cleaned up immediately.
• Do not exceed the food storage times recommended by the manufacturers. Only take the required amount of food out of the freezer.
• Different foods should be placed in different areas according to their properties (Fig. 5.12.2):

1. Less weighty items, such as ice cream, vegetables, bread etc.
2. Beverage without high alcohol and temporary storage of spirits with a high alcohol content. small parts like Pizza or herbs.
3. Large/heavier portions of food, such as meats joints for roasting

Storage

• Please keep the distance more than 10 mm between the food placed and the sensor to ensure the cooling effect.
• Please keep the lowest drawer when the appliance working in order to ensure the cooling effect.
• The food with ice (like ice cream etc.) should be stored inside the freezer compartment instead of on the bottle holder, for the temperature changes at bottle holde_c caused by door opening and closing may thaw the food.
• Consume defrosted food quickly. Defrosted food cannot be re-frozen unless it is first cooked, otherwise it may bless edible.
• Do not load excessive quantities of fresh food in the freezer compartment. Refer to the freezing capacity of the freezer- See TECHNICAL DATA or data at the type plate.
• Food can be stored in the freezer at a temperature of at least -l8°C for 2 to 12 months, depending on its properties (e.g., meat: 3-12 months, vegetables: 6-12 months)
• When freezing fresh food, avoid bringing it in contact with already frozen food. Risk of thawing!
• Defreeze frozen food in the fridge. This way, you can use the frozen food to decrease the temperature in the compartment and save energy.

When storing commercially frozen foods, please follow these guidelines:

• Always follow manufacturers’ guidelines for the length of time you should store food for. Do not exceed these guidelines!
• Try to keep the length of time between purchase and storage as short as possible to preserve food quality.
• Buy frozen foods, which have been stored at a temperature of-18 °C or below.
• Avoid buying food which has ice or frost on the packaging – This indicates that the products might have been partially defrosted and refrozen at some point- temper ature rises affect the quality of food.

Power interruption
In the event of a power cut. food should remain safely cold for about 5 hours. Follow these tips during a prolonged power interruption. especially in summer:

• Open the door/drawer as few times as possible.
• Do not put additional food into the appliance during a power interruption.
• If prior notice of a power interruption is given and the interruption duration is longer than 5 hours, make some ice and put it in a container in the top of the fridge com­partment.
• An inspection of the goods is required immediately after the interruption.
• As temperature in the fridge will rise during a power interruption or other failure, the storage period and edible quality of food will be reduced. Any food that defrosts should be either consumed, or cooked and refrozen (where suitable) soon after­wards in order to prevent health risks.

Notice: Memory function during power interruption
After restoration of power the appliance continues with the settings that were set be­fore the power failure.

Installation

Unpacking

• The appliance is heavy. Always handle with at least two persons.
• Keep all packaging materials out of children’s reach and dispose them in an environmentally friendly manner.
• Take the appliance out of the packaging.
• Remove all packaging materials including the transparent protective film.

Environmental conditions
The room temperature should always be between 16 ° C and 43° C. since it can influence the temperature inside the appliance and its energy consumption. Do not install the appli­ance near other heat-emitting appliances (ovens. fridges) without isolation.

Space requirement

Required space when door is opened (Fig. 10.3):
Appliance width: 1588mm
Appliance depth: 1103mm

Ventilaton cross-section
To achieve sufficient ventilation of the appliance for safety reasons. the information of the required ventila­tion cross sections must be observed (Fig. 10.4) ..

Aligning the appliance
The appliance should be placed on a flat and solid sur face.

1. Tilt the appliance slightly backwards (Fig. 10.5).

2. Set the feet to the desired level.
   Make sure the distance to the wall on the hinge sides is at least 5 cm.

3. The stability can be checked by alternately bump ing on the diagonals. The slightly swaying should be the same in both directions. Otherwise the frame can warp: possible leaking door seals are the result. A low tendency to the rear facilitates the closing of the doors.

Fine tuning of the doors
If the doors are still not in one level after levelling the doors by the feet. this mismatch can be remedied by turning the hinge lifting shaft at the right bottom cor­ner of refrigerating door with a spanner (Fig. 10.6)

• Clockwise turn lifting shaft with spanner to lower door height (Fig. 10.6-1).
• Antic lock wise turn lifting shaft with spanner to lift door height Fig. 10.6-2).

Waiting time
To the maintenance-free lubrication oil is located in the capsule of the compressor. This oil can get through the closed pipe system during slanting transport. Be­fore connecting the appliance to the power supply you have to wait at least 2 hours (Fig.10. 7) so that the oil runs back into the capsule.

Electrical connection
Before each connection check if:

• power supply. socket and fusing are appropriate to the rating plate.
• the power socket is earthed and no multi-plug or extension.
• the power plug and socket are strictly according.
