Storing Fresh Food

Important precautions for storage of food

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.

Interior accessories in the refrigerator

Equipment depends on the model.

♦ Shelves can be optionally placed on the guides inside the appliance. They are protected against pulling out. If you want to remove the shelf, slightly lift up the back part and pull it out. Quickly perishable food should be stored on the back i.e. the coldest part of the shelves.

Always respect the best before date, printed on the packaging.

Food to be stored in the refrigerator should be properly packed as to prevent neither emission nor reception of moisture and odors.

Never store inflammable, volatile or explosive substances.

Beverages with high alcohol percentage shall be stored in tightly sealed bottles in vertical position.

Some organic solutions like volatile oils in lemon or orange peel, acids in butter etc. can cause damage in prolonged contact with plastic surfaces or gaskets for longer period of time they can cause accelerated aging of the plastic material.

Unpleasant odor inside the refrigerator is a sign that something is wrong with food or that your refrigerator needs cleaning

(see Cleaning of the appliance).

If you plan a longer journey, make sure to remove quickly perishable articles of food out of the appliance before you leave.

10 Instructions for Use

♦ Bottle rack is used for storing bottles with maximum weight of 13 kg – see warning sticker below the thermostat casing in the appliance.

♦ 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 lower shelf is used for storing bottles. It is equipped with bottle retainer to prevent them from sliding

(equipment depends on the model).

♦ Fan (certain models only) improves the even distribution of temperature and decreases dew upon storage racks. Fan operation is stopped when the refrigerator door is opened.

Freezing and storage of frozen food

The freezing procedure

♦ Freeze your food in the freezing compartment. Activate the

SUPERFROST function by pressing the button (8) for continuous operation

24 hours prior intended freezing. After this period insert fresh food in the freezing compartment.

♦ After 24 hours you may relocate the food to the storage compartment, and repeat the freezing procedure if required.

♦ Do not let the already frozen packages touch the fresh ones.

stated on the rating plate. If the loaded amount is too large, the quality of freezing is reduced which affects the quality of frozen foods.

Storing commercially frozen food

The storage time and recommended temperature for storing commercially frozen foods is indicated on the packaging. Always follow manufacturer's instructions for storage and use of frozen food. When shopping be careful to choose only food which is adequately packed and provided with complete data and stored in freezers where the temperature is not higher than -18°C.

Do not buy packages of food wrapped with frost. This indicates that the package was thawed before at least once. Take care that packages don't start to thaw.

Temperature rise shortens the storage time of commercially frozen foods.

Important cautions in freezing fresh food

Freeze only such food which is suitable for freezing and sustain low temperatures. Food should be of adequate quality and fresh.

Select adequate packaging for each kind of food and pack it correctly.

− The packaging should be air tight and well sealed without leaking since this could cause substantial vitamin loss and dehydration.

Mark packages with following data: kind and amount of foods and the date of loading.

It is most important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible. We therefore recommend the size of the package not to be too large and to be cooled before loading into the freezer.

The amount of the fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer as a single load is

Defrosting of Frozen Food

Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy microorganisms which rapidly activate themselves after defrosting and make foods perishable.

Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of foods, especially of fruits, vegetables and readymade meals.

Instructions for Use 13

Defrosting the appliance

Automatic defrosting of the refrigerator

There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice deposited at the inner back wall is defrosted automatically.

Ice deposited on the inner back wall during the compressor operation is defrosted when the compressor stops operating, and condensed water drops are drained through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor where it evaporates. In case of excessive ice deposits at the inner rear wall of the refrigerator (3-5 mm), switch the appliance off by pressing the button (A2) seconds and defrost it manually.

Freezer Defrosting

♦ Clean the freezer when the frost layer in the freezer reaches thickness of 3-5 mm.

♦ 24 hours before defrosting set the

SUPERFROST switch (8) to continuous operation. The yellow light is on. After that empty the freezer and take care that the packages remain frozen.

♦ Switch the appliance off by pressing the button (B2) for 3 seconds.

♦ Insert the enclosed pipe into the groove in the bottom of the appliance and place a vessel underneath to collect the defrost water.

♦ Do not thaw the appliance with electric appliances (hair dryer, etc...).

♦ Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage to the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health.

♦ Clean the interior of the appliance and wipe it dry (see Cleaning of the appliance).

♦ Before reloading of food into the freezer press the button (B2) to switch the appliance on. Previously set temperatures are preserved.

14 Instructions for Use

Cleaning the appliance

Switch the appliance off by pressing both buttons (A2 and B2) for refrigerator and freezer operation.

Be careful to remove any cleanser agent remaining after cleaning.

♦ Clean the exterior of the appliance with water and liquid detergent.

♦ Do not use abrasive or aggressive agents for cleaning of plastic and coated surfaces as you can damage them.

♦ Coated surfaces are cleaned with soft cloth and an alcohol based cleaning agent (for example glass cleaners). You may also use alcohol (ethanol or isopropyl alcohol).

♦ The application of abrasive and specially aggressive cleaners, such as the stainless steel cleaners, is not appropriate for the cleaning of plastic and coated parts.

♦ Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water, mixed with little vinegar.

♦ Groove and drain outlet located below the cooling panel at the rear wall must not be clogged (with food particles, for example), so do not forget to inspect them and clean if necessary (use plastic straw to free the outlet hole).

♦ The condenser on the rear wall must always be clean and free of dust or kitchen fumes deposits, therefore clean the dust periodically with non-metallic brush or vacuum cleaner.

♦ Clean also the drip pan above the compressor (do not remove the pan).

♦ After cleaning switch the appliance on and reload the food.

♦ Ice and(or frost deposits exceeding 3-5 mm increase energy consumption, so remove them regularly. Do not use sharp pointed objects, solvents or sprays.

Troubleshooting helpful hints

Cause / remedy

• If you want to open the immediately closed door of the freezer you may experience resistance. This happens because certain quantity of cold air escapes from the appliance through the open door and is replaced by warm ambient air. Cooling of such air creates negative pressure (vacuum) which prevents easy opening of the door. Situation is normalized after a few minutes, and you can open the door with ease.

• Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the appliance form the power supply. Press the cover at the rear side with your fingers (in the arrow 1 direction) to detach it from its position.

Remove the plastic cover (in the arrow 2 direction). Replace the bulb with a new one – halogenous or standard (E 14, max. 25 W -

Osram Halolux, Philips H.E.) and fit back the cover.

• Don't forget: the old bulb does not belong to organic waste.

• Light bulb is consumption material and is not covered with the warranty.

• This is normal when setting the refrigerator or freezer temperature.

• In case of power failure.

• When the temperature is outside normal limits.

• When the letter E appears on the display, call the service center.

• If none of the above proves effective and you can not remove the fault by yourself, call the nearest service center and tell them the information from the rating plate: type of appliance, model and serial number, located inside or at the rear of the appliance.

Instructions for Use 17

Noise level

The refrigerator – freezer appliances are cooled by the refrigeration system including the compressor, whose operation may produce certain noise. The level of such noise depends upon the location, correct use and age of the appliance.

♦ After starting the appliance , the operation of the compressor and the refrigerant flow may be louder which does not mean that something is wrong with the appliance and it has no influence on the lifetime of the appliance. Gradually the noise is reduced and subsides.

♦ Sometimes the appliance produces unusual and stronger noise which is rather unusual for the appliance. This noise is often the consequence of inadequate positioning of the appliance.

♦ The appliance shall be placed and leveled firmly on solid base.

♦ It should not touch the wall or kitchen units standing next to it.

♦ Check whether the accessories in the interior of the appliance are placed correctly in their positions; also check the bottles, tins and other vessels that might touch each other and rattle.
