Freezer operation

Temperature adjustment

The temperature of the freezer is adjusted by means of the knob assembled on the thermostat (item 4), position "MAX" being the lowest temperature.

The achieved temperatures can vary according to the conditions of use of the appliance, such as: place of the appliance, ambient temperature, frequency of door opening, extent of filling with food of the freezer. The position of the thermostat knob will change according to these factors.

Normally, for an ambient temperature of approx. 32°C, the thermostat will be adjusted on an average position.

The signalling system is placed on the front side of the freezer (item 5).

It includes:

1. Thermostat adjustment knob - the inside temperature is adjusted.
2. green LED - shows that the appliance is supplied with electric energy.
3. red LED - damage - lights if the temperature in the freezer is too high. The LED will operate 15-45 minutes after the putting into operation of the freezer, then it must go off. If the LED goes on during the operation, this means that defects have occurred.
4. LED Orange - fast freeze function activated - by setting the knob to Superfreeze position the orange led goes on, showing that the appliance entered into the "fast freeze" mode.

The exit of this mode is done automatically after 50 hours then the appliance runs in economic mode, and the orange led goes off. The three LEDs give information about the mode of operation of the freezer.

Advice for food conservation

The freezer is intended to keep the frozen food for a long time, as well as to freeze fresh food.

One of the main elements for a successful food freezing is the packing.

The main conditions that the packing must fulfill are the following: to be airtight, to be inert towards the packed food, to resist to low temperatures, to be proof to liquids, grease, water vapours, smells, to be able to be washed.

These conditions are fulfilled by the following types of packings: plastic or aluminium film, plastic and aluminium vessels, waxed cardboard glasses or plastic glasses.

IMPORTANT!

• For freezing the fresh food please use the supplied baskets of the appliance.
• Do not place into the freezer a too large quantity of food at a time. The quality of the food is best kept if they are deeply frozen as quickly as possible. This is why it is advisable not to exceed the freezing capacity of the appliance specified in the "Product Fiche".
• The fresh food must not come into contact with the food already frozen.
• The frozen food you have bought can be placed into the freezer without having to adjust the thermostat.
• If the freezing date is not mentioned on the packing, please take into consideration a period of max. 3 months, as a general guide.
• The food, even partially defrosted, cannot be frozen again, it must be consumed immediately or cooked and then refrozen.
• The fizzy drinks will not be kept in the freezer.
• In case of a power failure, do not open the door of the appliance. The frozen food will not be affected if the failure lasts less than 67 hours.

Freezing with Superfrost

• Place the knob to super frost position. The Superfrost lamp comes on.
• Wait 24 hours.
• Place the fresh food in the freezer. In order to achieve fast freezing, food should be in contact with the interior walls when it is placed in the freezer.
• The Superfrost facility automatically switches the fast freezing procedure off after 50 hours.

Important

When you place the knob to Superfrost position, the compressor might not switch on for a few minutes. This is due to the integrated rise-delay switch which is designed to increase the life span of the refrigeration unit.

You should not switch on the Superfrost function:

• when placing frozen food in the freezer;
• when freezing up to approx. 2 kg fresh food daily.

Defrosting of the appliance

• We advise you to defrost the freezer at least twice a year or when the ice layer has an excessive thickness.
• The ice build-up is a normal phenomenon.
• The quantity and the rapidity of ice buildup depends on the ambient conditions and on the frequency of the door opening.
• We advise you to defrost the appliance when the quantity of frozen food is the least.
• Before defrosting, adjust the thermostat knob to a higher position so that the food stores more cold.
• Unplug the appliance.
• Take out the frozen food, wrap it in several sheets of paper and put them in refrigerator or a cool place.

Take the separator panel and put it under the freezer in the direction of the dripping tube.

Take out the obstructing plug. The water which results will be collected in the special tray (separator panel). After the melting of the ice and the run-off of the water please wipe with a cloth or with a sponge, then dry well.

Put the obstruction plug back in its place. (Item 6)

For a fast thaw, please leave the door open.

Do not use sharp metal objects to remove the ice.

Do not use hairdryers or other electric heating appliances for defrosting.
