Storage time and temperature of
foods
The storage time chart at the end of the instruction book
gives information about storage time.
The storage time can not be determined exactly in
advance, as it depends on the freshness and handling of
the cooled food. That is why the storage time made
known is only informative.
If you do not want to use up deep-frozen foods bought
immediately they can be stored for about 1 day (until dis-
solving) in the refrigerator.
How to use the freezer
Freezing
The appliance can be used to freeze fresh food of quan-
tity specified on the data label. Freezing different prod-
ucts should always be done after proper preparing as fol-
lows.
Push the fast freezing button (the yellow lamp lights) 4
hours before placing fresh food in smaller quantity or 24
hours before placing fresh food in bigger quantity into the
appliance.
Put the previously frozen food - or some of it - to another
basket or baskets. Put the fresh food into the upper bas-
ket, leaving enough space for airflow. If there is some
previously frozen food left in the upper basket, put this
food into one side of the basket avoiding the contact
between the fresh food and the already frozen food.
Run the appliance this way for 24 hours.
Push the fast freeze button again (the yellow lamp goes
out) and the appliance will operate in automatic mode.
Never freeze food in bigger quantity than given
in the 'Technical data' at the same time, other-
wise freezing will not be thorough and after dissolv-
ing various deterioration may take place (losing taste
and aroma, lysing, etc.).
Do not make ice during freezing preferably,
because making ice reduces freezing capacity.
Storing in the freezer
It is practical to replace frozen products into the basket(s)
after freezing has finished. Doing this you could make
room in the freezing compartment for another freezing.
Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods already
stored.
If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove the
baskets except the lowermost one from appliance and
place food on the cooling surface.
Do not forget to keep to the storage time given on
the packaging of frozen products if you buy them
frozen. To store home-frozen products see the storing
instructions placed in the door of the freezer. Symbols
signify the various foods, numbers mean maximum stor-
ing time given in months.
It is safe to store quick-frozen, frozen foods only if
they have not dissolved even for a short time until
placing them into the freezer. If the deep-frozen food has
already dissolved, refreezing is not recommended, it has
to be used up as soon as possible.
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. Setting
thermostatic control knob to maximum position can
shorten preparing time. After finishing do not forget to
reset the thermostatic control to the suitable position.
Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under run-
ning water then twist or hit it. If the ice tray freezes to the
compartment, avoid using metal tools or knife to take it
out as the cooling system can be damaged.
Some useful information and
advice
The variable shelves are worth paying attention to,
which increases the usability of the fresh food com-
partment considerably. Rearranging the shelves is
also possible when the door is open at an angle of
90°.
After opening and closing the door of freezer vacuum
will rise inside the appliance because of the low tem-
perature. So wait 2-3 minutes after closing the door
- if you want to open it again - while inner pressure
equalises.
