Storing in the freezer
It is practical to replace frozen products into the basket(s) after freezing has
finished. Doing this you could make room in the freezing compartment for
another freezing. Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods already
stored.
In large quantities of food are to be stored, remove the baskets except the
lowermost one from appliance and place food on the cooling surface.
Do not forget to keep to the storage time given on the packaging of frozen
products if you buy them...

Some useful information and advice
1. The variable shelves are worth paying attention to, which increases the usabil-
ity of the fresh food compartment considerably. Rearranging the shelves is
also possible when the door is open at an angle of 90 .
2. After opening and closing the door of freezer vacuum will rise inside the
appliance because of the low temperature. So wait 2-3 minutes after closing
the door - if you want to open it again - while inner pressure equalises.
3. Take care of opening the...

Maintenance
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chambers in form of frost and ice
goes with the operation of the applince.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as
the temperetaure increases in the cooling chambers, they need more energy.
At this type of appliance defrosting the cooling surface of the refrigerator is
automatic without any external intervention. The termostatic control inter-
rupts the operation of compressor at regular intervals...

58
