ON/OFF Switch (1)
The appliance is switched on - the green light is on.
The appliance is switched off - the green light is off.
Operation Mode Selection Switch (2)
This switch is used to select one of the two
operation modes: continuous and automatic.
Continuous operation - the yellow light is on.
The cooling system operates continuously. This
mode is selected when you want to freeze large
amounts of fresh foods and in case you want to
deep freeze already frozen foods.
Automatic operation - the yellow light is off.
The interior temperature is controlled by the
thermostat which turns the cooling system on and off.
The frequency of switching the cooling system on
and off depends on:
−
the thermostat knob position (thermostat setting),
−
how often you open the door; and
−
ambient temperature.
Sound alarm button, red light (3)
Sound alarm is triggered and red light is on if the
freezer compartment is not under correct
temperature (see section "Troubleshooting guide").
Alarm is triggered also when the door remains
open for some time. It may be stopped by closing
the door.
Temperature Selection (4)
When the freezer operates automatically, the
interior temperature is controlled by the thermostat.
The most suitable thermostat position is in the
middle between
max (7)
and
min (1)
.
We recommend setting the thermostat on
positions towards
max
(7) only in case you want to
accelerate cooling, as for example before loading
smaller amounts of fresh foods or when the
operation mode shall correspond to the ambient
temperature.
Thermostat settings towards
min
(1) help you save
energy provided that the freezer is loaded with
smaller amount of frozen foods.
Changes of the ambient temperature affects
temperature in the interior of the appliance.
Choose correct setting of the thermostat knob.
External Temperature Meter (5)
(some models only)
The meter shows approximate temperature in the
interior of the freezer. The most convenient
temperature for long term storing of frozen foods is
-18°C or colder. Optimum storage conditions
depend on the thermostat setting, ambient
temperature, how loaded the appliance is and how
often you open the door.
Don't forget, temperature changes are noted on
the meter some 48 hours after the thermostat
position was changed.
Use
Switching On the Empty Freezer
Switch the freezer on. Sound alarm is on because
of inappropriate temperature. It may be switched
off by pressing the alarm button
.
Put the mode selection switch to the continuous
operation position. All three signal lamps are on.
Place fresh food into the freezer several hours
after the red signal lamp goes off.
Freezing Fresh Foods
Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed
food, correct temperature and taking into account
hygienic precautions will substantially influence the
quality of freezing the food or storing of the frozen
foodstuffs.
•
Carefully select food to be frozen: it should be of
adequate quality and suitable for freezing.
•
Choose correct packaging for each kind of food
and pack it correctly.
−
The packaging should be air tight and well
sealed without leaking since this could cause
substantial vitamin loss and dehydration.
−
Foils and bags should be soft enough to
tightly wrap around the food.
•
Mark packages with following data: kind and
amount of foods and the date of loading.
•
It is most important that the food is frozen as
quickly as possible. We therefore recommend
the size of the package not to be too large and to
be cooled before loading into the freezer.
•
The amount of the fresh foods that can be
loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is stated on
the rating plate. If the loaded amount is too large,
the quality of freezing is reduced which affects
the quality of frozen foods.
Freezing Procedure
Freezing compartment is used for freezing
foodstuffs (see chapter "Description of the
Appliance").
•
If you want to freeze larger amount of fresh food,
set the operation mode selection switch to the
position for continuous operation (yellow light is
