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.

In 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 storing 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 use the freezer

Some useful information

and advice

The variable shelves are worth paying attention

to, which increases the usability of the fresh food

compartment 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 temperature. So wait 2-3 minutes after

closing the door - if you want to open it again -

while inner pressure equalises.

Take care of operating the freezer at a position of

thermostatic control so that the inside

temperature can never go above -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.

Freezing

The appliance can be used to freeze fresh food of

quantity specified on the data label. Freezing different

products should always be done after proper

preparing as follows.

Set the thermostat knob to a medium position.

Put the previously frozen food - or some of it - to

another basket or baskets. Put the fresh food into the

upper basket, leaving enough space for airflow. If

there is some previously frozen food left in the upper

basket, put this food into the back of the basket

avoiding the contact between the fresh food and the

already frozen food.

Run the appliance this way for 24 hours.

After 24 hours set the thermostat knob according to

your choice or leave it in a medium position, which is

in general appropriate for everyday cooling needs.

Should you want to freeze the quantity declared by the

producer, remove the upper basket from the

appliance and put the fresh food uniformly distributed

directly on the cooling surface.

Setting the thermostat knob to a higher (e.g.

maximum) position is not recommended.

Although doing so would make the freezing time

shorter, on the other hand the temperature of the

fridge compartment may go permanently below 0°C,

what yields freezing the food and drinks stored there.

Never freeze food in bigger quantity than

given in the 'Technical data' at the same

time, otherwise freezing will not be thorough and

after dissolving various deterioration may take

place (losing taste and aroma, lysing, etc.).

Do not make ice during freezing preferably,

because making ice reduces freezing capacity.

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 ventilation is.

Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling

film to avoid building up unnecessary frost.

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.

Keep the condenser clean.

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. Wetting the bottom of the tray and

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

running 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.
