Freezing takes place on the top three
shelves of the freezer compartment.
Before the freezing process is started, the
foods already in the freezer are cooled
down further to prevent them warming up
too much due to the effect of the products
being frozen.
If a lot of frost (more than 0,5 cm) has
accumulated in the freezer, it is advisable
to defrost it before starting the freezing
process.
To freeze:
1 The freezer can be activated to operate
the freezing process for 48 hours.
Switch the freezer to positive drive in
good time before starting the freezing
process. When freezing small amounts
(1-2 kg), no precooling is needed.
This function is used when freezing
large quantities.
Activating the function:
Press the F-button of the display
enough times so that the text SF
appears on the screen; this text stays
on the screen throughout the speedy
freezing period. During speedy
freezing, neither the set temperature
value nor the interior temperature of the
freezer can be checked on the display
using the display buttons.
Unnecessary precooling can be
stopped by resetting the storage
temperature for the freezer, using the
display buttons.
Press the F-button until the display
begins to flash. Then, using the button,
select the desired temperature and
leave it visible.
The selection has now been made, and
no separate confirmation is needed.
The display will return to showing the
interior temperature.
2 If the quantity to be frozen is the same
as that stated as the freezing efficiency
per day (max. 18 kg at a time), then
allow the mechanism to go through one
freezing cycle (48 hours) before
beginning the freezing.
After the 48-hour freezing cycle, the
electronic thermostat returns
automatically to the storage
temperature.
If the quantity to be frozen is half of
that, then about half a freezing cycle is
sufficient as the positive drive period.
3 Put the products to be frozen on the
freezing shelves (the 3 top levels) in
such a way that the level product
surface in contact with the shelf is as
large as possible. Leave a gap for air
circulation between the products to be
frozen; in this way, the products will
freeze more efficiently.
4 Reactivate the freezing cycle (48
hours) for the freezer.
After the 48-
hour freezing cycle, the electronic
thermostat will return automatically
to the storage temperature.
If it is desired to stop the freezing cycle
before the 48 hours are over, this is
done by resetting the storage
temperature for the freezer, using the
display buttons.
The freezing time depends on the
quantity of products to be frozen, and
on other use of the freezer. In practice,
the freezing time is about ½ - 1 day.
5 Before freezing the next batch, transfer
the frozen products from the freezing
shelves to the storage baskets lower
down.
