Use
Switching On the Empty Freezer
Switch the appliance on and set the operation mode switch to continuous operation. All three control lights are on. When the red light goes off, wait for a couple of hours and load the freezer with packages of fresh foods.
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
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
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.
