LOCATION OF THE FREEZER
The freezer should be placed in a dry, well ventilated room. It is not advisable to locate the
freezer near heat sources (e.g. boilers, radiators etc.) or in direct sunlight. If it is not possible
to find an alternative location use an insulating panel . The appliance must not touch heating,
gas or other pipes or heating devices.
VENTILATION
IMPORTANT! Keep ventilation openings
in the freezer enclosure or in the built - in
structure, clear of obstruction. If the door does not close properly,
it is necessary to
change the door gasket
. If the door does not close correctly, the temperature in the
freezer rises and energy consumption increases.
Warning. Do not cover the openings at the back of the top cover.
CONTROL DEVICES AND SIGNAL LIGHTS
Before placing items in the freezer, it should be set for 24 hours in „quick-freeze“
mode by turning the thermostat knob to the „S“ position. A yellow signal lamp
comes on
. The „quick-freeze“ mode should be turned off 24 hours after placing items
in the freezer by returning the thermostat knob to its previous position. Then the yellow
light goes out and the thermostat performs the temperature maintenance function.
It is
recommended to use the freezer when the thermostat is in position “3”
. When
the green indicator lamp
5
lights up it means that the freezer is connected to the mains. If
simultaneously the red indicator lamp
4
lights up, it indicates that:
a) the freezer has been switched off for a long time, e.g. the freezer is switched
on for the first time, or after defrosting or after power interruption.
b) the door of the freezer has been left open or has been opened too frequently.
c) a large amount of unfrozen food items has been loaded.
d) the freezing system has failed, i.e. the red lamp does not go out after 6 hours
even though the compressor can be heard running, or the compressor has not
switched on. In this case you should contact your local Service Force centre (after
first making sure that the above items have been checked).
The switch
1
is provided for switching the freezer either to the
„FREEZING“
mode (the
yellow signal lamp
3
is lit) or to the
„STORAGE“
mode (the yellow signal lamp 3 goes
out).
The motor of the compressor operates constantly in the „FREEZING“ mode
therefore the freezer must not operate in the „FREEZING“ mode for longer than 3
days in order to avoid burning out the motor.
FREEZING AND STORAGE OF FOOD
Prior to loading food the freezer should be switched to the
„FREEZING“
mode for 24 hours.
Fresh food items ready for freezing should be laid evenly on the shelves of the
„FREEZING“
area.
Food to be frozen should not touch already frozen ones.
The maximum capacity should not exceed 24 kg.
If this is exceeded, the motor
of the
compressor may overheat
.
After 24 hours, frozen food should be moved to the
„STORAGE“
area and the
„FREEZING“
area may be again loaded with fresh food.
In order to ensure normal operation of the freezer a minimum gap of
2,5 cm
should be left
between the lower shelf of the evaporator and food items in the drawer
10
.
