of the foods in not ensured. Please note that, when
switching on the freezer for the first time, the alarm indi-
cator will keep on lighting until the internal temperature
has reached a level required for the safe conservation
of frozen food.
Temperature problem:
Under normal operating conditions, the internal temper-
ature of the freezer will ensure the long-term conserva-
tion 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 maxi-
mum 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 vol-
umes 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 stor-
age 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.
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 thermosta-
tic control to the suitable stage.
Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under run-
ning water then twist or hit it.
Some useful information and
advice
After opening and closing the door of freezer vac-
uum 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.
Take care of operating the freezer at a position of
thermostatic control so that the inside temperature
can never go beyond -18°C, since temperature
higher than this can deteriorate frozen foods.
It is practical to make sure of faultless operation of
the appliance daily so as to notice possible failure
in time and prevent deterioration of frozen foods.
After a power failure the product will restart and
the quick freeze function will be switched on. If not
switched off manually, the quick freeze function
will be automatically switched off 5 hours later.
When the quick freeze function is switched off, the
yellow indicator (C) will go out.
Hints and ideas
In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given
about how to use the appliance to reach maximum
energy saving and there is environmental informa-
tion about the appliance as well.
How to save energy
Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place and
near anything that gives off heat.
Be sure that the condenser and the compressor
are well ventilated. Do not cover the sections
where ventilation is.
Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film
to avoid building up unnecessary frost.
Avoid products put in the freezer compartment to
touch foods already frozen.
Do not leave the door open longer than necessary
and avoid unnecessary openings.
Put warm foods into the appliance only when they
are at room temperature.
The condenser must be kept clean.
The appliance and environment
This appliance does not contain gasses which could
damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant cir-
cuit or insulation materials. The appliance shall not
be discarded together with the urban refuse and rub-
bish. Avoid damaging the cooling unit, especially at
the rear near the heat exchanger. Information on
your local disposal sites may be obtained from your
municipal authorities.
