Operation
Freezing fruit
You can use the freezer for:
- freezing fine fruit, such as strawberries,
- making small amounts of ice for consumption purposes using plastic bags for ice cubes,
- freezing ice batteries used typically for picnic coolers and thermoinsulated bags.
•
Ice cubes will be transparent if you use boiled, cold water.
•
24 hours after freezing, the fruit should be put into a plastic bag and placed in the
freezer drawer for further storage.
Defrosting food
•
Depending on the type of food and the way they are to be used, it can be defrosted
in the refrigeration chamber, in a dish with lukewarm water, in a microwave oven, in
an electric oven, or let self-defrost in room temperature.
•
Fruit and vegetables for boiling do not need to be defrosted.
•
Defrosted food should be used the same day or stored in the refrigeration chamber
not longer than for one more day. Even if the product is defrosted partially, you mustnŐt
refreeze it. But you can freeze dishes containing defrosted ingredients.
Defrosting the freezer
•
Bigger deposits of ice on refrigerating surfaces deteriorate the appliance`s
performance and increase electricity consumption.
•
We advice defrosting the appliance at leas once or twice a year, when the quantity
of food in the freezer is low.
•
If the appliance contains any products, set it to „super freeze” about 4 hours prior
to the planned defrosting; it will ensure possibility of storing the frozen food for an
extended period of time in the room temperature.
•
Take out the drawer with food from the freezer, wrap it with a few layers of paper
(you can use newspapers), wrap it in a blanket, and store in a cold place.
•
The defrosting of the appliance should last as little time as possible. Prolonged
storage of frozen food shortens its shelflife.
•
You can speed-up the defrosting by placing a bowl with hot water on one of the
freezer shelves.
•
Do not use an electric heater, heating fan, or a hair dryer to the freezer under
any circumstances.
In order to defrost the freezer chamber:
•
First, set the temperature control dial do ”0” and unplug the appliance.
•
Open the freezer door and take out the drawers.
There are locks on the sides of the freezer preventing from accidental fall-out of the
drawers. In order to take a drawer out, you have to pull it home, lift the front slightly
and pull it out in the position.
•
Place a flat dish or the tray for freezing fruit under the funnel opening to collect the con den sa te.
•
Do not use sharp objects to scratch-off the ice.
•
Wash and dry the inside of the freezer.
•
Turn on the appliance according to the relevant section of the manual.
