freezing performance remove the top
drawer and then place the foods to be
frozen directly on the evaporator. In case
of freezing smaller food volumes you do
not need to remove the drawer.
Switch on the freezer switch (pops up and
lights by pressing) 4 hours before freezing
food of small quantities and about 24
hours before freezing products of larger
quantities. This time the compressor
operates continuously to reach the
temperature necessary for freezing.
Place in the foods to be frozen and let the
appliance operate for about 24 hours as
written above.
Then push the fast freezer switch again
(the yellow light will go out and the switch
turns to its original position).
Move the fresh frozen food into the top
drawer and insert the drawer in the
appliance in its working position.
Storing
It is practical to replace frozen products
into the storing compartments after
freezing has finished so that to make
room in the freezing compartment for
another freezing.
In large quantities of food are to be
stored, remove the baskets except the
lowermost one from appliance and place
food on the shelves.
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
bottom of the tray and setting
thermostatic control knob to maximum
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.
Some useful information and
advice
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.
Take care of operating the freezer at a
position of thermostatic 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.
