TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The thermostat ensures that the required temperature is
maintained in the freezer. Turning the thermostat button
towards no. 7 makes the temperature in the freezer colder,
and turning the button towards no. 1 makes the
temperature warmer. The correct setting can be found by
measuring the temperature of the top package in the
middle of the freezer. This should not have a temperature
higher than -18°C.
OPENING/CLOSING THE LID
The lid is fitted with a tightly closing sealing strip to prevent
moisture getting inside the freezer and increasing the
amount of frost formed.
When the lid is opened the air inside the freezer becomes
slightly warmer and expands.
As soon as the lid is closed again the air is cooled
immediately.
This may lead to the creation of a vacuum which makes it
hard to open the lid immediately after it has been closed.
This is quite normal.
Wait a few minutes until the vacuum has disappeared, then
open the lid by pulling gently. Never pull the handle
violently.
FREEZING
It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer is frozen
quickly, and that the food already in the freezer is heated as
little as possible.
If more than 3-4 kg of food is to be frozen:
Turn the thermostat button to the coldest setting (“7”).
The freezer will now run continuously, creating a
sufficient reserve of the temperature required.
Turn the thermostat button 6-24 hours before placing
new food in the freezer, depending on how much food is
to be frozen.
Place the food in the freezer and leave the thermostat set
at “7” for about 24 hours more.
Then turn the thermostat button back again. The freezer
will return to normal storage temperature. If you forget to
turn the thermostat button back, the freezer will not be
damaged by running at this setting for some time - but
energy will be wasted.
HOW TO USE
PACKAGING AND POSITIONING
Food must be cold before freezing (no more than
room temperature).
Food must be packed in airtight and moisture-proof
packaging to prevent it from drying out.
Place fresh food for freezing close to the cold sides of
the freezer, making sure that it is not in contact with
the frozen food already in the freezer.
Never fill the freezer to more than 5 mm below the top
edge.
See under “Helpful hints”.
CAPACITY
The freezing capacity of the freezer is stated in the data
plate (kg/24 hours). Do not exceed the amount stated -
if you do, the freezing time will be extended. The data
plate is located inside the lid.
IMPORTANT
The freezing capacity stated can be utilised to the
full occasionally to freeze large amounts of fresh
food. However, if the freezer is filled with large
amounts of food for freezing every day, the
capacity stated is reduced by about one-third.
BASKET
The baskets are designed for the storage of food which
has already been frozen.
