Attention
Keep the already deep-frozen food
always separated with freshly placed
food.
When deep-freezing hot food, the
cooling compressor will work until the
food is completely frozen. This can
temporarily cause excessive cooling of
the refrigeration compartment.
If you find the freezer door difficult
to open just after you have closed it,
don’t worry. This is due to the pressure
difference which will equalize and allow
the door to open normally after a few
minutes.
You will hear a vacuum sound just after
closing the door. This is quite normal.
Fast freeze
If large amounts of fresh food are
going to be frozen, adjust the control
knob to max. 24 hours before putting
the fresh food in the fast freeze
compartment.
It is strongly recommended to
keep the knob at MAX. position at
least 24 hours to freeze maximum
amount of fresh food declared as
freezing capacity. Take special care not
to mix frozen food and fresh food.
Remember to turn the thermostat
knob back to its previous
position once food has frozen.
Defrosting of the appliance
Excessive build-up of ice will affect
the freezing performance of your
appliance.
It is therefore recommended that you
defrost your appliance at least twice
a year, or whenever the ice build-up
exceeds 7 mm.
Defrost your appliance when there is
only little or no food in it.
Take out the deep-frozen food from
the drawers. Wrap the deep-frozen
food in several layers of paper, or a
blanket, and keep it in a cold place.
Unplug the appliance or switch off the
circuit breaker to start the defrosting
process.
Take out the accessories (like shelf,
drawer etc.) from the appliance and
use a suitable container to collect the
thawing water.
Use a sponge or a soft cloth to remove
thawing water if necessary.
Keep the door open during defrosting.
For quicker defrosting, place
containers with warm water inside the
appliance.
Never use electrical devices, defrosting
sprays or pointed or sharp-edged
objects such as knives or forks to
remove the ice.
