Frequently Asked Questions - OFZ 421 E OK

How to adjust the freezer temperature?

Turn the adjustment knob to MIN, MID or MAX. The table in the manual gives approximate temperatures: MIN = -12 °C, MID = -18 °C, MAX = -24 °C. The lower the setting (towards MIN), the higher the temperature.

How long should I wait before plugging in the freezer after moving it?

After placing the freezer upright on its feet, wait 6 hours before plugging it in to allow the cooling system to regain full capacity.

How to defrost the freezer?

Defrost when the frost layer reaches 3 to 4 mm. Remove food, unplug, open the door and let the frost melt. Wipe up water and clean the interior. Do not use mechanical tools to speed up defrosting.

What to do if the freezer does not cool enough?

Check the power supply, ensure the door is properly closed and the gasket is not damaged. The ambient temperature should be between 16 °C and 38 °C. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

How to clean the freezer?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. Clean the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth, then dry. Removable parts (shelves, drawers) can be removed. Never use solvents, metal objects or steam cleaner.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the manual provides detailed instructions. You will need an 8 mm wrench, a Phillips screwdriver and a flathead screwdriver. Note: Installation must be carried out by at least 2 people.

What foods can I freeze and for how long?

You can freeze fresh foods (meat, fish, vegetables) for up to 12 months. Do not freeze hot foods. Respect the indicative durations: stew/ice cream/sausages 2-6 months, fish/lamb 4-8 months, vegetables/poultry/beef 6-12 months. Use the lower drawers for freezing large quantities.

What to do in case of power failure?

Avoid opening the door. Frozen food will stay cold for several hours. If the outage lasts, consume the food quickly or discard if there is a risk of defrosting.

How to save energy with this freezer?

Place the appliance away from heat sources, allow air circulation around it, defrost regularly, open the door briefly, adjust the temperature according to the amount of food, and do not remove the drawers unnecessarily.

How to dispose of the freezer at the end of its life?

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• Do not place the product in the vicinity of a heat source (radiator or kitchen stove, etc.).
• Ensure unobstructed air flow around the freezer.
• If a layer of ice has built, defrost the unit. A thick layer of ice affects the transmission of the cold, thus the energy consumption will be increased.
• When opening and taking out food, only open the door shortly. A shorter door opening time reduces the amount of ice forming on the freezer walls.
• Select the temperature regulator setting according to the filling amount of the product.
• Use the provided drawers and if necessary further boxes etc. to store the food. This way the energy of the product is used efficiently, and the energy consumption can be minimized.
• Only place cold or cooled down foodstuffs in the freezer. Never insert hot items.
• It's advised not to remove all accessories, such as drawers, as this might increase the energy consumption.

CLEANING AND CARE

Warning

• Unplug the product before cleaning.
• When cleaning, never use solvents or abrasive materials, hard brushes, metallic or sharp objects.
  Solvents are harmful to human health and can attack plastic parts, while abrasive cleaning materials and tools may scratch the surface(s).
• Never use oil or grease on the door seal. This will make it porous over time.
• Do not use steam cleaning equipment for cleaning. The steam may come in contact with electrical parts of the product, causing a short circuit.
• Clean the product's exterior surfaces with a slightly damp cloth and then dry them thoroughly.
• Make sure that no water enters the product interior (for example, through the switch).
• Wipe the door seal with clean water only, and dry it thoroughly afterwards.
• Removable parts e.g. the glass plate can be taken out for cleaning.
