Operation and use
Installation
Insert the plug into the socket. In order to switch on the
product, turn the thermostat
(B)
to a temperature lower
than << -16°C >>. The green indicator will light up and the
red indicator will blink. The lighting up of the on/off
indicator
(A)
means that the product is switched on. The
blinking of the red indicator means an improper
temperature in the freezing compartment. In addition, an
intermittent sound can be heard, which can be stopped
by pressing button
(D)
once. You can switch off the
freezer by turning the thermostat
(B)
in position <<
>>.
Adjusting the temperature
The internal temperature of the freezer is regulated
electronically through five temperature positions and a
switch-off <<
>> setting.
Position << -16°C >> indicates the highest (least cold)
temperature, while position << -24°C >> is for the lowest
(coldest) temperature. Rotate the thermostat in the
desired position.
In general, it is best to set the thermostat to
<< -18°C >> but, for the purpose of temperature setting,
you should also consider
the temperature of the room where the product is
installed,
the frequency of door openings,
the volume of food to be stored in the product,
the location of the product.
Therefore, you should consider all these factors and you
may have to do some testing for finding the best
temperature. If you want a lower temperature, turn the
thermostat into a position of higher number or, vice versa,
if you need a higher temperature, you should set a
position of lower number. Please allow 24 hours for the
freezer temperature to stabilize between two
adjustments.
Alarm (red) indicator
The temperature alarm indicator
(E)
will light up when the
internal temperature of the freezer increases to a level
(above -12°C) where the long-term conservation of the
foods in not ensured. Please note that, when switching
on the freezer for the first time, the alarm indicator will
blink 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 blink 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 maximum
freezing performance remove the freezer tray and
baskets 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 freezer tray and baskets.
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 operate continuously until the product
reaches the freezing temperature.
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.
The freezing tray can be used for freezing small fruits
(raspberry, strawberry, currant, etc.). Place a thin layer of
the unpacked fruits in the tray. Once they are frozen, the
fruits can be packed, sorted and placed in the storage
boxes.
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
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.
