Frequently Asked Questions - UD2520 BRANDT

How to adjust the temperature of my Brandt UD2520 freezer?
Use the adjustment button (2) on the electronic panel. Press briefly to change the temperature by one degree, or hold down for faster change. The recommended temperature is -18°C. The adjustment range is from -15°C to -30°C.
What to do if the audible alarm goes off?
The audible alarm can be turned off by pressing button (5) (Sound off). Check the cause: temperature too high (temperature alarm), door open for more than one minute (open door alarm) or power failure. If the alarm persists, contact after-sales service.
How to activate the super freezing function?
Press button (4) marked 'super freezing'. The yellow indicator lights up. The temperature will drop to minimum. The function stops automatically after 48 hours or by pressing the button again. Use it to quickly freeze large amounts of fresh food.
Why is my freezer not cooling?
First check if the power cord is properly plugged in and the fuse hasn't blown. Ensure the thermostat is not set to 0. Too many warm foods or a poorly closed door can also be the cause. If the problem persists, call a professional.
How to reverse the freezer door?
Door reversibility is possible. Follow the steps in the manual: unscrew the base plate, lay the appliance on its back, move the hinges from right to left. For the handle, unscrew it and reposition it on the other side. Use the provided holes and plugs. Do not drill into the cabinet, only into the door.
How to defrost the freezer?
Unplug the appliance. Remove food and wrap it to keep cold. Use the plastic spatula to remove ice. To speed up, place a pot of hot water inside. Never use metal objects or heating devices. After defrosting, clean and plug back in.
What to do in case of unusual noise?
An unusual noise may come from incorrect foot adjustment. Check that the appliance is level and slightly tilted backward. If the feet are adjustable, adjust them. If the noise persists, check that the appliance is not touching a neighboring cabinet.
How to save energy with this freezer?
Place the appliance in a dry, ventilated area away from heat sources. Leave 3-5 cm space on sides and 10 cm above. Do not open the door unnecessarily. Defrost regularly (if frost > 1-2 cm). Clean the condenser periodically. The ideal temperature is -18°C.
Can I freeze hot foods?
No, never put hot or even warm foods into the freezer. Let them cool to room temperature before placing them in suitable packaging (plastic bags, aluminum foil, freezer containers). Hot foods increase consumption and may partially thaw neighboring products.
How to clean the interior of the freezer?
Unplug the appliance. Use a solution of baking soda diluted in water (1 tablespoon for 4 liters of water). Do not use abrasive products or alcohol. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Plug back in and wait 3-4 hours before reintroducing food.

SAVING ENERGY

After installing your appliance, check that nothing has been damaged. Should you detect any possible damage to the appliance, please contact your appliance salesman immediately. Do not disperse packaging material such as plastic bags, polystyrene strips, etc., around the environment. Keep such material away from children.

If the appliance has been transported in a horizontal position, do not plug in the

appliance but wait for a few hours in order to allow the oil to flow back into the compressor. Place the appliance in a dry and aerated environment, duly protected from weather elements. Avoid placing your appliance on balconies, verandas, terraces. Excessive heat during summer and cold during winter could alter the good functioning operation of the appliance or even damage it altogether.

Do not position your appliance near a source of heat like an oven or a central heating plant. Do not place your appliance next to other pieces of furniture, but leave at least a 3 to 5cm space on the sides and 10~cm on the top.

Keep your appliance away from the wall by inserting spacers at the back of the said appliance.

Adjust the front legs so that the appliance will lean slightly backwards, to allow the door to close properly.

Clean your refrigerator compartment with a solution of sodium bicarbonate dissolved in water (1 spoon for every 4 litres of water). Do not use alcohol, abrasive powders or detergents, as these could ruin the surface.

This appliance works best when the ambient temperature is between 16^ and 32^ .

Hinges Adjustment

In case of any accidental bumps during transport, the upper door may not be perfectly aligned with the frame panel. Should this occur, lightly loosen the screw which fastens the pivot-holding plate (A) to the upper hinge. Close the door and align it with the frame panel. Tighten the screw and check that the gasket closes properly.

Installation of appliance equipped with wheels

If your appliance is equipped with wheels, remember that these do facilitate small handling movements. However, do not pull the appliance for long stretches!

Once the appliance has been positioned in its rightful place, remove the key under the base (fig. 3) and rotate the two front legs in an anti-clockwise direction (fig. 4) until the front wheels have been slightly raised from the floor. In this manner, the appliance will remain blocked.

Adjust the legs so that the appliance leans slightly backwards.

The first way to save electricity is to select the correct place for appliance installation as specified above under installation instructions.

The second way to save electricity is to prevent heat from entering the refrigerator compartments. Keep the refrigerator doors open for as little time as possible and never store hot food inside, like soups or similar dishes in particular, as these will produce a great deal of steam. Periodically check the door gaskets. Ensure the perfect closure of the doors. Should this not be the case, please contact the Service Centre.

The third way to save electricity is to maintain the heat exchange parts in good condition. Prevent condensation from accumulating in the refrigerator. Defrost the appliance whenever the frost thickness exceeds 1 - 2cm . This is not necessary with NO-FROST appliances. Clean the condenser periodically as specified below in this Booklet.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

BRANDT UD2520 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTION - 1

Please ensure that the voltage (Volt, V) of the mains socket matches the indications on the data plate which you will find inside your appliance.

Should the socket and the appliance plug not be compatible, do not use adapters, multiple plugs or extensions, but have the socket replaced with another suitable kind by qualified personnel.

The socket which feeds the appliance must be kept operational for future operations (cleaning, defrosting, etc.).

Should the cable become damaged, replace it timeously by contacting specialized Service Centres for the purchase and assembly of the said cable.

Electric safety of this appliance is assured only when it has been connected to a perfectly effective earthing installation as specified in the electric safety norms in force.

STARTING PROCEDURE

Important: if the appliance has been transported to your house in a horizontal position, please wait for a few hours before plugging in the appliance to allow oil to flew back into the compressor.

Proceed with the Internal cleaning, then connect the appliance to the electric socket without using an adaptor (see Electrical connection).

Adjust the thermostats to the food preservation position of your choice (see Instructions for fridge-freezer use).

Warning for "Alto System" appliances

These appliances have a metal accumulator of cold in the upper part of the storage compartment: bigger models have an identical accumulator in the lower part too. These accumulators greatly reduce the energy consumption.

Since these accumulators can hold the cold for very long time, the following happens:

After switching the "warm" appliance on (e.g. at the very first start and after every defrost operation) you should wait for about 10 hours before putting food inside the compartment, so that the accumulators get cold enough.

USE OF THE APPLIANCE

BRANDT UD2520 - USE OF THE APPLIANCE - 1

Freezer Control

Operate the electronic control with signals (C1) which is located on the upper part of the equipment. You will see the switching-on push-button 3 of the equipment with a green light; the push button 4 for fast freezing with a yellow light; the switching off push button with a sound alarm with a red light (5), the push-button for temperature adjustment 2 and the temperature display 1.

BEWARE! before closing the freezer door, ensure that every container flap and/or drawer be perfectly closed within the appliance.

Switching on and off

SWITCHING ON:

Press button 3 until the temperature is displayed.

The audible alarm will be activated when the appliance is switched on for the first time while it is "warm".

Press button 5 to turn the alarm off. For more information, see the "Temperature Alarm" paragraph.

SWITCHING OFF:

Press button 3 again until the temperature display goes out.

Regulating the temperature

The appliance is pre-set for normal use. We recommend a temperature of -18^ .

To lower the temperature: press button 2

To raise the temperature: press button 2 until the temperature reaches -30^ .

Continue to press button 2; the temperature goes back to -15^ .

The temperature can be regulated between -15^ et -30^ .

When you press button 2 for the first time, the most recent setting (known as the reference setting) will appear, flashing.

You can change the temperature one degree at a time. Keeping the button pressed down changes the temperature more quickly.

The actual temperature in the appliance will be displayed about 5 seconds after the last press of the button.

Child safety

There is a child safety system to ensure that the appliance is not turned off accidentally. The safety setting is activated by pressing buttons 3 and 5 simultaneously for 2 seconds. The same buttons have to be pressed again to de-activate the safety system.

Temperature display

In normal operation the highest temperature of the frozen food is displayed. A slight deviation (normally not more than one degree) from the normal value may occur for a short time due to the compressor cycle or the opening of the door.

Display brightness

To adjust the brightness of the display to the ambient light level, two levels of brightness are available. The degree of brightness can be changed by simultaneously pressing buttons 5 and 2.

Temperature alarm

This starts up if the temperature inside the freezer is not low enough (according to the set temperature). A visual warning (red flashing LED) and an audible alarm (buzzer) will switch on. If the temperature is lowered again, the alarm stops. The audible alarm can be switched off by pressing button 5 (Stop alarm).

Alarm power supply breakdown

If the temperature rises above the foodstuff safety level, following an electrical breakdown or some other reason, and then falls again to the normal level, the alarm (audible and visual) will not stop automatically, but must be switched off by pressing button 5.

Until the alarm is switched off, the actual temperature is displayed alternating with the highest temperature recorded.

Alarm door open

If the door stays open for longer than a minute, an audible alarm sounds. This alarm stays on until the door is closed or until button 5 is pressed.

Fast freeze

Pressing button 4 causes the freezer temperature to fall to the lowest possible level. The fast freeze function stops when button 4 is pressed, or automatically after 48 hours.

FREEZING

Important notice

If you purchase frozen foodstuffs verify that:

the packing has boon well sealed and not mishandled or damaged;
- there are no iced lenses (this means that the product has already been oven partially thawed);
- the processing date and dates relevant to the type of freezer have boon clearly marked (yours is ****);
- in the meantime the products have not thawed, not oven partially;

Never put into your mouth frozen products that have just been taken out of the freezer (ice-cream, ice-blues, ice cubes, etc.), where the low temperature to which they have been subjected may cause ice burns and possible tongue damage.

In case of prolonged current absence transfer the frozen foodstuffs into another working freezer.

If the food stuffs have been thawed, even partially, you may re-freeze them only after having cooked them!

Freezing

Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most hygienic conditions as freezing alone does not sterilise the food. It is advisable to freeze the food by packing it into separate meal portions and not in bulk form. Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into the freezer! Prior to storing the frozen food, pack it in plastic bags, polyethylene sheets, aluminium foil or freezing containers (this material is found on the market and is labelled "suitable for freezing"). Each pack or container, etc. which you will store into the freezer must follow the instructions below:

  • freezing date and expiry date;
    number of portions;
  • the glass containers must be of the Pyrex type and MUST NEVER be filled to the brim: (freezing expands liquids);
  • the packs must be pressed down for air elimination within and must be as flat as possible;
  • all frozen food packs, whatever the type, must be closed in order to protect the food. The maximum quantity of food which can be stored within a period of 24 hours is shown on the data table. Never store a higher quantity of food than indicated.

Do not place fresh foodstuffs next to frozen food. This would cause an increase in the temperature of the frozen foodstuffs.

Before freezing fresh foodstuffs, you must empty the fast freezing compartment, place frozen foodstuffs into the preservation compartments, then activate the fast freezing. After 24 hours you may place the fresh foodstuffs into the fast freezing compartment.

The quick-freezing compartments are the first two at the top.

Wait a further 24 hours before disconnecting the fast freezing and regulate the thermostat onto the preservation position.

DEFREEZING

Defrost foodstuffs for immediate use only. Defrosting can be carried out in the following four manners:

  • inside the refrigerator;
  • in ambient temperatures;
  • inside an oven at 40 / 50^ or in a micro-wave oven;
    directly by cooking.

Defrosting in the refrigerator is a slower but safer operation and allows you to save electricity. The freezing temperature of the foodstuff is released into the refrigerator during defrosting.

DEFROSTING

BRANDT UD2520 - DEFROSTING - 1

Warning for "Alto System" appliances

When you unplug the appliance for defrosting and cleaning, you should wait for about 24 hours so that the accumulators warm up to room temperature. They will continue to frost up and form condensation water until they become warm.

Defrosting of the freezer

Defrost every time you notice the formation of frost or ice 5 - 6mm thick. This layer of ice will reduce the freezing power and will increase energy consumption.

Wrap the frozen food in newspaper and then cover out with wrappers (insulated bags or boxes are also suitable). Place them in a cool place, preferably in the fridge, awaiting to be put into the freezer again. Before carrying out any other operation unplug the electric current.

Collect the defrosted water with a shovel/key as supplied with some models. Position it into the pre placed slit and collect the water with the help of the last drawer of the freezer. As the layer of ice begins to melt you may ease the separation from the walls by delicately using the special plastic spatula.

You may hasten this process by placing inside the freezer a pot with hot water isolating it from the bottom with a small wooden board.

Do not use heaters, hairdryers or other electrical appliances, knives or any other metal objects. You may damage the freezer beyond repair.

Once the defrosting has been completed, in order to carry out cleaning operation and re-packing the freezer you have to strictly follow the instructions.

CLEANING

Internal cleaning

Before carrying out any other operation, unplug the freezer. Clean the freezer by using sodium bicarbonate dissolved in water (1 spoonful every 4 litres of water).

DO NOT USE ABRASIVE DETERGENTS.

Rinse off with water and dry with a cloth. Plug into the socket. Turn the knob to the conservation temperature position. Wait 3-4 hours before placing food inside. To use the freezer activate fast freeze and wait 3-4 hours before placing deep frozen and/or fresh products into the respective compartments of the freezer. Remove the fast freeze operation after 24 hours.

External cleaning

Before carrying out any other operation, unplug the freezer. Use the same delicate method for external cleaning as you did for the internal cleaning. Remember to dust off the condenser placed at the back of the appliance. Use a dry brush or better still, a vacuum cleaner.

MINOR BREAKDOWNS AND ANOMALIES

Before calling the Service department, check whether you can solve the problem through the following check-points:

Unusual noises - You haven't regulated the base properly and so the freezer vibrates.

Reduced cooling power - You have placed a larger quantity of food than advisable. You have opened the door too many times. The door has not been properly closed.

The appliance does not cool - Check that the plug and socket are making contact. You may have blown a mains fuse. The main light switch has tripped. The thermostat is off, the knob is on "0" position.

The exterior of the appliance is hot - This is NOT a defect, but helps to prevent formation of condensate on the external parts of the appliance.

White streaking on frozen meats - The temperature is too low or you have not heeded the expiry dates indicated on the freezing chart.

Part-freezing - Normally, products containing lots of sugar, fats and alcohol such as ice-creams or juices, do not freeze completely and remain partially soft.

Water droplets on the external walls of the appliance - During the Spring and Autumn seasons, when the house heating is turned off, it may happen that the external walls of the appliance show some water droplets (condensate). This phenomenon does not interfere with the good functioning of the appliance and is not dangerous to people.

Frost build up inside - The doors are not properly shut. You have opened the doors too often.

Water or ice droplets on the back vertical wall of the refrigerator compartment - This is not a defect.

The door opens with difficulty - It is normal for the door to offer some resistance to opening after being closed. This is to ensure a perfect seal of the doors. Wait a few minutes before opening once again.

(1) Put a bit of vinegar or lemon in the cooking water.
(2) Salt well before cooking.
(3) The vegetables become mushy during the thawing, owing to the high content of water in them. We advise freezing only if you intend consuming the cooked products.

Generally, the vegetables are better if they are cooked directly without thawing. Reduce the cooking times bearing in mind the boiling effected before freezing.

Fruit

Fruit must be covered with sugar or syrup according to the cases. The quantity of sugar to use in order to preserve it is about 250 gr. per kg of fruit. Syrups are to be used in different percentages and they are prepared by boiling water with some sugar already melted in it. The various concentration are:

30% solution, 450 gr. of sugar for every litre of water
40% solution, 650 gr. of sugar for every litre of water
50% solution, 800 gr. of sugar for every litre of water

To maintain the colour of the fruit unaltered, dip it into some lemon juice before covering it with sugar, or otherwise add some lemon juice to the syrup. Fruit to be freezed needs an hour in the fridge for setting before being placed into the freezer. The syrup must cover the fruit completely.

Butter and cheese

Before freezing butter and cheese, cut them into pieces for weekly consumption. Butter is preserved for 8 months and so is hard cheese (parmesan). Other types of cheese need 4 months. defreezing must be done in the fridge being careful about the condensation which logically forms on these products.
