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 on). After 24 hours
you can load the freezing compartment with
packages of fresh foods.
•
24 hours after the food was loaded, the
frozen packages can be stored into baskets
and the freezer can be loaded with new
packages of fresh foods. Don't let the fresh
packages touch the frozen ones.
•
Some 24 hours after the last load, set the
switch to the position for automatic operation
(yellow light is off).
•
There is no need to set the switch to the
position for continuous operation if you
intend to freeze smaller amount of fresh
foods (1-2 kg).
Storing Frozen Foods
Packages of frozen foods are stored in
baskets. If you remove the baskets, you can
store frozen packages directly on the cooling
shelves.
Storing Commercially Frozen Foods
The storage time and recommended
temperature for storing commercially frozen
foods is indicated on the packaging. For storing
and use consider manufacturer's instruction.
When shopping, be careful and choose only
packages of foods which are adequately
packed and provided with complete data and
stored in freezers where the temperature is not
higher than -18°C. Do not buy packages of
food wrapped with frost. This indicates that the
package was thawed before at least once.
Take care that packages don't start to thaw.
Temperature rise shortens the storage time of
commercially frozen foods.
