how often you open the door; and
ambient temperature.
Temperature Selection
When the freezer operates automatically, the
interior temperature is controlled by the
thermostat.
The most suitable thermostat position is in the
middle between
max
and
min
.
We recommend setting the thermostat on
positions towards
max
only in case you want
to accelerate cooling, as for example before
loading smaller amounts of fresh foods or
when the operation mode shall correspond to
the ambient temperature. Thermostat settings
towards
min
help you save energy provided
that the freezer is loaded with smaller amount
of frozen foods.
Changes of the ambient temperature affects
temperature in the interior of the appliance.
Choose correct setting of the thermostat
knob.
Red Control Light
The red light is on when there is something
wrong with the temperature in the freezer
(See Trouble Shooting Guide).
Use
Switching On the Empty Freezer
Switch the appliance on and set the
thermostat knob to the position for continuous
operation. (Red and yellow control light are
on). When the red light goes off, wait for a
couple of hours and load the freezer with
packages of fresh foods.
Freezing Fresh Foods
Proper use of the appliance, adequately
packed food, correct temperature and taking
into account hygienic precautions will
substantially influence the quality of freezing
the food or storing of the frozen foodstuffs.
Carefully select food to be frozen: it should
be of adequate quality and suitable for
freezing.
Choose correct 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.
Foils and bags should be soft enough to
tightly wrap around the food.
Mark packages with following data: kind and
amount of foods and the date of loading.
It is most important that the 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 loading
into the freezer.
The amount of the fresh foods that can be
loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is
stated on the rating plate. If the loaded
amount is too large, the quality of freezing is
reduced which affects the quality of frozen
foods.
Freezing Procedure
Freezing compartment is used for freezing
foodstuffs (see chapter "Description of the
Appliance").
If you want to freeze larger amount of fresh
food, set the thermostat knob to the position
for continuous operation (yellow light is on).
After 24 hours you can load the freezing
compartment with packages of fresh foods.
24 hours after the food was loaded, the
frozen packages can be stored into baskets
and the freezer can be loaded with new
packages of fresh foods. Don't let the fresh
packages touch the frozen ones.
Some 24 hours after the last load, set the
thermostat knob to the position for
automatic operation (yellow light is off).
There is no need to set the thermostat knob
to the position for continuous operation if
you intend to freeze smaller amount of fresh
foods (1-2 kg).
