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 factors and you
may have to do some testing to find 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 remain lit 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
continuous 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
(raspberries, strawberries, currants, 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.
Frozen Food Storage
When first starting the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, we advise you to run
your appliance for at least 2 hours with the 'fast
freeze' switch on before storing frozen food.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
manufacturer.
Do not open the door frequently or leave it open
longer than is necessary.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids in the freezer.
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer can cause a low
temperature skin burn.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your
hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin
abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer
will not be affected if the power cut is short and
the freezer is full. Do not open the lid. Should the
food begin to thaw it must be consumed quickly
and must not be re-frozen. (See Hints and Tips)
Thawing
Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used,
can be thawed in a fridge or at room temperature,
depending on the time available. Small food items
may even be cooked from frozen, in this case
cooking will take longer.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw
accidentally should either be eaten as soon as
possible, or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is
uncooked and has not been completely defrosted
it can be cooked and then refrozen.
Defrosted cooked food must never be
refrozen.

To Make Ice Cubes
1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water,
place in the freezing compartment and leave to
freeze.
2. To remove the cubes twist the tray or hold it
under running water for a few seconds.
Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen
to the freezer compartment by using
pointed or sharp edged objects.
