INSTALLATION
large quantities of fresh food have been placed inside. the chest lid has been open for too long.
The red temperature warning light (4) and acoustic temperature warning give no warning:
if the power supply is interrupted; if the thermostat is defective.
Important: Check regularly on the red temperature warning light and on a thermometer
placed inside whether the storage temperature is being maintained.
Please observe the indicated freezing capacity on the rating plate. The freezing capacity represents the maximum amount of fresh goods that can be frozen within 24 hours. If you freeze goods on several days, one after the other, freeze amounts equal to 2/3 to 3/4 of the capacity indicated on the rating plate.
Thawed foods which have not been
processed further (cooked into meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The thermostat ensures that the required temperature is maintained in the freezer. Adjust the temperature by turning the button with a coin that fits the groove. Turning the thermostat button towards no. MAX makes the temperature in the freezer colder, and turning the button towards no. MIN 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
Freezing
To freeze fresh foods use the small freezing compartment on the right of the dividing partition. This enables you to separate already frozen foods from fresh foods. Always make sure already frozen goods cannot defrost by coming into contact with fresh products. If the freezing compartment is too small you can freeze part of the products in the large storage section on the left of the dividing partition.
Attention!
Before freezing food the temperature in the freezer must be
To freeze the maximum qantity of fresh food quoted on the rating plate press the QUICK FREEZE button 24
hours prior to freezing, or 4 to 6 hours for smaller quantities. The amber fast freeze light illuminates.
The QUICK FREEZE button need not be pressed for freezing small quantities of up to 3 kg.
All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no transfer of flavour to other frozen goods occurs.
Caution! Do not touch the frozen foods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods.
Place the packed food products into the freezer. Ensure they come into contact with the side walls. Unfrozen goods may not come into contact with already frozen goods, otherwise the frozen goods may start to thaw.
If more products have to be frozen, keep on the fast freeze switch - otherwise switch the fast freeze function off about 24 hours after inserting the food products, for smaller quantities earlier.
Tips:
The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods:
freezer bags and polyethylene wraps; special cans for frozen goods;
The following are suitable for closing bags and foil: plastic clips, rubber bands or adhesive tape.
Before closing press out the air from the bags and foil, as air makes the frozen products dry out more easily and wastes space.
Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly.
Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or
