ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE Refrigerator The internal temperature may be adjusted by means of the thermostat knob. The temperature inside the appliance may vary depending on the conditions of use: location, room temperature, the frequency with which the doors are opened and the quantity of food stored and the thermostat knob should be adjusted accordingly. As a general rule, the thermostat knob should be set to a medium position for a room temperature of 25°C.
The thermostat also assures the automatic defrosting of the refrigerator. During defrosting, the temperature inside the refrigerator may rise to +8°C, but decreases to 2-3°C during the freezing period, bringing the average temperatures over the whole working cycle to about +5°C. Avoid setting the thermostat knob at too low a temperature, causing the appliance to run continuously. This causes the temperature to drop below 0°C, causing potential freezing of drinks and fresh foods and an excessive accumulation of ice on the internal wall, all of which may cause an increase in power consumption and a drop in refrigerating efficiency. Drops of condensation or ice particles form on the back wall when the entire refrigerating system is in operation. It is not necessary to remove these particles, as the back wall is defrosted automatically. The resulting water is drained through the special drainer and collected in a drip pan located on the compressor, where it evaporates.
Freezer The position of the thermostat may also influence freezer temperature. Generally, this temperature is between �18°C and �28°C over the whole working cycle. FOOD STORAGE HINTS
The freezer is designed to freeze fresh foods and to store frozen foods for an extended period. For best results, it is essential to wrap foods well. Wrapping materials should be airtight, inert towards the wrapped foods, resistant to low temperatures, liquid-, grease-, steam- and odour-proof, and should be washable. Plastic and aluminium wrap, and containers in plastic, aluminium and tempered glass are all suitable.
IMPORTANT! � To freeze fresh foods, use the compartment marked with 4 stars (quick freeze compartment). � Do not freeze very large quantities of food at the same time. Food keeps best if it is deep-frozen in the shortest possible time Therefore it is preferable not to exceed the freezing capacity of the appliance,
