lighting until the internal temperature has reached a level
required for the safe conservation of frozen food.
Temperature problem:
Under normal operating conditions, the internal temperature
of the freezer will ensure the long-term conservation of the
stored food. When such temperature rises above a certain
level (-12°C), it will trigger an acoustic and light alarm. The
light alarm is a continuous red light
(E) , while the acoustic
alarm is an intermittent sound. You can stop the acoustic
alarm by pressing switch
(D) once.
Freezing
Prepare the various foods properly and then freeze them
always in the freezing compartment.
For using the quick freeze function, press the quick freeze
on/off switch
(D) for 2-3 seconds; in the case of small and
great food volumes you should do it approx. 4 and 24 hours,
respectively, before you want to freeze the fresh food. The
yellow indicator
(C) will light up. The compressor will oper-
ate continuously until the product reaches the freezing tem-
perature.
Once the food is completely frozen (it may take up to 24
hours) you can manually switch off the quick freeze function
by pressing the switch
(D) for 2-3 seconds. If not switched
off manually, the quick freeze function will be automatically
switched off 48 hours later. The yellow indicator
(C) will also
go out.
Storing
It is practical to replace frozen products into the storing
compartments (cages) after freezing has finished so that to
make room in the freezing compartment for another freez-
ing.
Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods already
stored.
How to make ice cubes
To make ice cubes fill the enclosed ice cube tray with water
and put it to the frozen food compartment. Wetting the bot-
tom of the tray and setting thermostatic control knob to max-
imum stage can shorten preparing time. After finishing do
not forget to reset the thermostatic control to the suitable
stage.
Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under running
water then twist or hit it.
Freezing and storage of frozen foods
As freezing with "No-Frost" technology is quicker, the
foods frozen this way will preserve their original form,
nutritional value and taste even after thawing.
Place the foods to be frozen in the lower part of the prod-
uct.
For the perfect operation of the product, make sure that
the frozen foods will not touch the ventilator cover or the
ventilator mounted on the backside of the product.
For the best results it is recommended to distribute the
frozen foods evenly in the boxes.
If you make small portions of the foods, the freezing
process will take less time and subsequent thawing
will be possible in small portions also.
In order to avoid freezing burns, do not touch ice-
creams immediately after they have been taken out
from the freezer.
It is recommended to state the freezing date on the
package so that later you can check the storage dura-
tion.
The time of transportation from the seller to the con-
sumer must be as short as possible.
Some useful information and
advice
After opening and closing the door of freezer vacuum
will rise inside the appliance because of the low tem-
perature. So wait 2-3 minutes after closing the door -
if you want to open it again - while inner pressure
equalises.
Take care of operating the freezer at a position of ther-
mostatic control so that the inside temperature can
never go beyond -18°C, since temperature higher
than this can deteriorate frozen foods.
It is practical to make sure of faultless operation of the
appliance daily so as to notice possible failure in time
and prevent deterioration of frozen foods.
After a power failure the product will restart and the
quick freeze function will be switched on. If not
switched off manually, the quick freeze function will be
automatically switched off 5 hours later. When the
quick freeze function is switched off, the yellow indica-
tor (C) will go out.
Hints and ideas
In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given about
how to use the appliance to reach maximum energy sav-
ing and there is environmental information about the
appliance as well.
How to save energy
Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place and near
anything that gives off heat.
Be sure that the condenser and the compressor are
well ventilated. Do not cover the sections where venti-
lation is.
Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film to
avoid building up unnecessary frost.
Avoid products put in the freezer compartment to
touch foods already frozen.
Do not leave the door open longer than necessary
and avoid unnecessary openings.
Put warm foods into the appliance only when they are
at room temperature.
The condenser must be kept clean.
