Instructions for Use
• The amount of fresh foods that can be
loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is
indicated on the rating plate (freezing
capacity). If the loaded amount is too large,
the quality of freezing is reduced which
affects the quality of frozen foods.
Freezing Procedure
• Before it starts freezing, set the thermostat
to the position 3-6 for 24 hours. If you
have a model with integrated switch for
intensive cooling, turn ON the switch. After
24 hours load the appliance with fresh
load packages. 24 hours from the time
when fresh food was put in the appliance
turn the thermostat dial to the operating
temperature (see temperature selection). At
the above mentioned model it is necessary
to
turn OFF the switch
, which has
previously been engaged. The switch is ON
when the marking
(
I
) or colour marking
is visible, and OFF when the marking
(
0
) is visible or colour marking is not visible
(depending on model).
• The next time you want to freeze fresh
foods, repeat the freezing procedure and
be careful that packages with fresh foods
do not touch frozen packages.
• For freezing smaller amount of foods
(up to 1 kg) there is no need to change
the thermostat setting (see Temperature
Selection).
Storing Frozen Foods
Frozen foods can be stored on the bottom of
the appliance or on the shelf.
Commercially Frozen Foods
The storage time and the recommended
temperature for storing commercially frozen
foods are indicated on the packaging. For
storing and using consider the manufacturer's
instruction. When shopping, be careful and
choose only adequately packed foods provided
with complete data and stored in freezers
where the temperature is not higher than
-18°C. Do not buy packages of food covered
with frost layer. This indicates that the package
was thawed before at least once. Be careful
that packages don't start to thaw, as the
temperature raise reduces the quality of foods.
