Storing

It is practical to replace frozen products into the storing compartments (baskets) after freezing has finished so that to make room in the freezing compartment for another freezing.

Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods already stored.

How to make ice cubes

To make ice cubes fill the enclosed ice cube tray with water and place it to the frozen food compartment. Wetting the bottom of the tray and setting thermostatic control knob to maximum stage can shorten preparing time. After finishing do not forget to reset the thermostatic control to the suitable setting.

To release the ice cubes hold the tray under running water then twist the tray.

Some useful information and advice

After opening and closing the door of the freezer, vacuum will rise inside the appliance because of the low temperature. So wait 2-3 minutes after closing the door while inner pressure equalises.

Take care of operating the freezer at a position of thermostatic control so that the inside temperature can never go beyond -18 °C, since temperature higher than this can deteriorate frozen foods.

It is practical to make sure of faultless operation of the appliance daily so as to notice possible failure in time and prevent deterioration of frozen foods.

After a power failure the product will restart and the quick freeze function will be switched on. If not switched off manually, the quick freeze function will be automatically switched off 5 hours later. When the quick freeze function is switched off, the yellow indicator (C) will go out.

Freezing and storage of frozen foods

As freezing with "No-Frost" technology is quicker, the foods frozen this way will preserve their original form, nutritional value and taste even after thawing.

Place the foods to be frozen in the lower part of the product.

For the perfect operation of the product, make sure that the frozen foods will not touch the ventilator cover or the ventilator mounted on the backside of the product.

For the best results it is recommended to distribute the frozen foods evenly in the boxes.

If you make small portions of the foods, the freezing process will take less time and subsequent thawing will be possible in small portions also.

In order to avoid freezing burns, do not touch ice- creams immediately after they have been taken out from the freezer.

It is recommended to state the freezing date on the package in order to check the storage duration.

The time of transportation from the seller to the consumer must be as short as possible.

Hints and ideas

In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given about how to use the appliance to reach maximum energy saving and there is environmental information about the appliance as well.

How to save energy

Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place and near anything that gives off heat.

Be sure that the condenser and the compressor are well ventilated. Do not cover the sections where the ventilation is.

Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film to avoid building up unnecessary frost.

Avoid products put in the freezer compartment touching foods already frozen.

Do not leave the door open longer than necessary and avoid unnecessary openings.

Put warm foods into the appliance only when they are at room temperature.

The condenser must be kept clean.

The appliance and environment

The appliance shall not be discarded together with the urban refuse and rubbish. Avoid damaging the cooling unit, especially at the rear near the heat exchanger. Information on your local disposal sites may be obtained from your municipal authorities.

Maintenance

Automatic defrosting

This product is designed to avoid the formation of ice in the freezer. Accordingly, there is no need for manual defrosting. The product will automatically perform any defrosting once it becomes necessary.

No-Frost technology

In order to facilitate the removal of the ice layer, the evaporator is assisted by electric heating during the defrosting procedure. The ventilator is in OFF position. The defrost water will drip in the tray placed at the compressor and will evaporate. In the course of the defrosting procedure (approx. 30 minutes) the evaporator becomes warm but it has no influence on the internal temperature.

The foods should be kept well-packed in order to avoid any moisture loss as a result of air circulation.

Do not obstruct the vent holes because otherwise the operability of the product may be compromised.
