Recommended distribution of food

142468

Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food,

correct temperature and hygienic precautions have

substantial impact on the quality of stored food.

Always respect the best before date, printed on the

packaging.

Food to be stored in the refrigerator should be

properly packed as to prevent absorbing of moisture

and building of odors.

Never store inﬂ ammable, volatile or explosive

substances.

Beverages with high alcohol percentage shall be

stored in tightly sealed bottles in upright position.

Some organic solutions e.g: strong oils in lemon/

orange peel and acids in butter etc. can cause

damage through prolonged contact with plastic

surfaces or gaskets, they can cause accelerated

ageing of the plastic material.

Unpleasant odour inside the refrigerator is a sign that

something is wrong with food or that your refrigerator

needs cleaning (see chapter on Cleaning).

If you are away for a lengthy time, please remove all

perishables beforehand.

Important precautions

for storing fresh food

Storing fresh food

142468

Equipment depends on the model.

• Shelves can be optionally placed on the guides inside the

appliance. They are protected against pulling out completely

by accident. To remove the shelf, raise the back part level off

and pull it out. Quickly perishable food should be stored on the

back i.e. the coldest part of the shelves.

• Certain models are equipped with wire bottle rack which

enables placing of bottles on the cork. It is safeguarded

against pulling out. It may be pulled out only if empty, by lifting

the front part and pulling it towards you. Place the bottle rack

in the appliance in such way to avoid obstruction of door

closing by the length of the stacked bottles.

Maximum load of the rack is 9 bottles of 0,75 l, or 13 kg of

total mass - see label at the right side of the interior of the

appliance.

• Crisp tray below the glass shelf at the bottom of the

refrigerator is used for storage of fruit and vegetables. It

retains the right level of moisture and prevents drying out.

• The inner refrigerator door consists of various shelves or

holders used for storing cheese, butter, eggs, yogurt, and a

stock of other smaller packages, tubes, cans etc. The bottom

shelf is used for storing bottles.

• The freezer door liner is also ﬁ tted with various shelves or

holders used for storing frequently used frozen food - quick

access (ice cream, already opened packages of vegetables,

etc.).

• Fan (certain models only - located under the ceiling or hidden

behind rear panel of the refrigerator, or concealed within the

freezing unit) improves even distribution of temperature and

reduced condensation on storage racks.

142468

• 24 hours before freezing fresh food, activate the rapid freezing

function (freeze boost):

- control unit I, II, III and IV: press the E key or rotate the A

button to the SF position;

- control unit V with or without the fan: rotate the A button

to the mid point between Min and Max; the fan is

deactivated.

After this period place fresh food in the freezing

compartment. In NO FROST freezer model use central

drawer for freezing.

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

To allow the required circulation of cool air, do not place any

food above the indicated line – see image below (only with

some models).

• After 24 hours you may move the food to the storage

compartment, and repeat the freezing procedure if required.

You may also remove the drawers and store frozen food

directly on cooling shelves. Do not remove the lower drawer if

you have a NO FROST appliance!

• For freezing smaller quantities of fresh food (1-2 kg), the

engagement of the fast freeze function is not required.

Freezing procedure

The COOL´N´FRESH drawer provides storage of wide selection

of fresh food longer than in the traditional refrigerator. Food

remains fresh for long time and it preserves its taste and nutritive

ingredients. It reduces decay and loss of mass, so fruit and

vegetables are more fresh and natural. The drawer must be

tightly closed to provide optimum operation.

• Moisture level in the drawer depends upon the moisture of

stored food, and on the frequency of opening the drawer.

• When you buy food check its freshness: quality and durability

of food depends on it.

• Store non-wrapped animal or vegetable food separately, or

wrap it in suitable packages. Be careful to prevent touching

of different types of meat. They should be packed and stored

separately to avoid bacterial decomposition in case meat turns

foul.

• Approximately 30-60 minutes prior use remove food from

the drawer to let its aroma and taste develop at ambient

temperature.

• Food sensitive to low temperatures is not suitable for storage

in the COOL´N´FRESH drawer: pineapple, avocado, bananas,

olives, potato, eggplant, cucumber, beans, bell pepper,

melons, water melons, pumpkins,...

Freezing and storage of frozen food

Storage of food in the COOL´N´FRESH

142468

Freeze only such food which is suitable for freezing

and can 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:Type, kind and

amount; with the date of placing.

It is imperative that 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

placing into the freezer.

The amount of the fresh foods that can be loaded in

the freezer as a single load is declared on the rating

plate. If the loaded amount is too large, the quality of

freezing is reduced which in turn affects the quality of

frozen foods.

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 never rises above -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 during transport

to your home. Temperature rise shortens the storage time and

affects the quality of commercially frozen foods.

Food Storage Period

Fruit, beef from 10 to12 months

Vegetables, veal, poultry from 8 to 10 months

Venison from 6 to 8 months

Pork from 4 to 6 months

Chopped (minced) meat 4 months

Bread, pastry, TV-dinner, fat free ﬁ sh 3 months

Intestines 2 months

Smoked sausages, fat ﬁ sh 1 month

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 after defrosting and make

foods perishable.

Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of food, especially

fruits, vegetables and readymade meals.

Remove the cap from ice tray (certain models only) and ﬁ ll it to

the mark with ﬁ ltered cold water. Close it and place it on the door

shelf. Ice tray can freeze 8 cubes.

It is recommended to make ice on stock.

Ice cubes are discharged from the tray by turning the tray upside

down and placing it under cold running water. Shake the tray,

open the cover and pour the ice out.

Defrosting frozen food

Making ice

The appliance needs no special defrosting procedure, 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 ON/OFF button and defrost it manually.

• Clean the freezer when the frost layer in the freezer reaches

thickness of around 3-5 mm.

• 24 hours prior defrosting fresh food activate intensive freezing

knob (see section Control of particular models - Intensive

freezing), to quickly freeze freshly inserted food. After that

empty the freezer and take care that the packages remain

frozen.

• Switch the appliance off by turning the temperature selector

(A) to the mark

• To drain defrost water pull the funnel shaped groove at the

bottom of the appliance out, and place a convenient vessel

underneath to collect the defrost water.

• Never use powered appliances to defrost the freezer (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 chapter

Cleaning).

• Before reloading food into the freezer switch the appliance on.

• Defrosting of NO FROST freezer is automatic. Periodic

appearance of frost layer eventually disappears automatically.

Defrosting traditional

freezer

Prior to any cleaning. Please disconnect the appliance from the

mains (turn the thermostat

button to the position

and pull the power cord from the mains

outlet). Special antibacterial protection in top layer of inner walls

prevents growth of bacteria and maintains the interior clean and

germ free. Make sure to remove traces of any cleaning agents you

had been using.

• To clean any surface, use a soft cloth.

• Clean the exterior of the appliance with water and mild liquid

detergent.

• For cleaning of plastic, coated, or aluminum parts avoid using

abrasive or special cleansing agents (like the stainless steel

polish), otherwise you may damage the surface.

• Clean coated and aluminum surfaces using the soft cloth and

alcohol based cleaning agent (like glass cleaner).

• Wash the interior of the appliance with mild liquid detergent and

lukewarm water, mixed with a little vinegar.

• Groove and drain outlet located below the cooling panel at the

rear wall collect the drained water, so should not be clogged (e.g.

with food particles). Make sure you inspect them periodically 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. If you removed

the pan, please make sure you replace it to the same position,

and check that it is in completely horizontal position!

• Ice and/or frost deposits exceeding 3-5 mm increase energy

consumption, so should be defrosted regularly (not for the NO

FROST freezer). Do not use sharp pointed objects, solvents or

sprays.

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

Fault: Cause/Remedy

The appliance does not operate

after connection to the mains:

•

Check if there is power in the socket and if the appliance is

switched on.

Cooling system operates

continuously without intermittent

stoppages:

•

Ambient temperature too high.

•

Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.

•

Door not closed properly (particle between door gasket,

sagged door, check gasket sealing, etc...).

•

Excessive quantity of fresh food inserted at once.

• Refrigerator sensor (A) is crammed with fresh food. Free the

sensor and allow air to circulate around it (certain models only).

•

Check air circulation for sufﬁ cient cooling of the compressor,

and clean the condenser.

Excessive ice formation at

the rear interior wall of the

refrigerator:

•

Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.

•

Inserting hot food in the refrigerator.

•

Food or dish is touching the rear interior panel of the

refrigerator.

•

Bad door sealing; clean or replace the gasket if dirty or

damaged.

Water dripping from the

appliance:

•

Drain outlet is clogged, drain water drips past the collection

groove.

•

Clean the clogged outlet using plastic straw.

•

Thaw thick ice deposits manually (see chapter Defrosting).

Red light is ﬂ ashing (freezer

compartment only):

•

Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.

•

Door not closed properly (particle between door gasket,

sagged door, damaged gasket, etc...).

•

Excessively long power failure.

•

Excessive quantity of fresh food inserted at once.

Difﬁ cult door opening:

•

If you attempt 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) and suction,

which prevents easy opening of the door. This is normalized

after several minutes and you can open the door with ease.

Troubleshooting guide

Cooling of refrigerator-freezer appliances is provided by compressor cooling system (for certain

appliances also the fan). Operation of this system results in certain noise, the intensity of which

depends upon the installation, correct use, and age of the appliance.

• After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor (the refrigerant ﬂ ow) may be

somewhat louder. This does not mean that something is wrong with the appliance, neither has

it any inﬂ uence on the lifetime of the appliance. Gradually the noise is reduced and eventually

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 should be placed on a ﬂ at and ﬁ rm base.

- It should not touch the wall or adjacent 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.
