4. OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE

Temperature setting

Your freezer is equipped with a thermostat located at the top, front of your appliance.

The appliance thermostat has 3 settings. The device guarantees that the temperature is maintained as long as it is in operation and used under normal conditions of use. The temperature inside the appliance can be influenced by many factors: ambient temperature, exposure to sunlight, number of door openings and amount of food stored... Slight changes in temperature are perfectly normal.

• MIN setting: average freezer compartment temperature ≤ -12°C
• MID setting: average freezer compartment temperature ≤ -15°C
• MAX setting: average freezer compartment temperature ≤ -18°C

MID OMAX MIN

NOTE:

  • If the device is unplugged or loses power; wait 3-5 minutes before restarting otherwise the freezer will not restart.
  • If you decide to change the temperature, change the thermostat in steps of one unit each time. Wait several hours for the temperature to stabilize at the desired level.
  • At high ambient temperatures, e.g., hot summer days. It may be necessary to set the thermostat to

the coldest setting ("Max" position). This may cause the compressor to run continuously to maintain a low temperature in the cabinet.

- For the first time you install your freezer, set the thermostat knob to "Mid". Allow your freezer to cool completely before adding food to it. It is best to wait 24 hours before adding food. The thermostat knob controls the temperature.

Do not leave the door open too long so that the interior temperature does not rise too much.

FROZEN PRODUCTS / FROZEN PRODUCTS

Your household appliance allows you to freeze food, it quickly lowers the temperature to the core and you can thus keep it longer. Freezing is a faster and more intense industrial process than home freezing. The products that you buy in the trade are frozen.

PREPARING FOODS FOR FREEZING

Caution: Freezing does not sterilize. It is therefore important that you prepare your food for freezing by respecting a few simple rules of hygiene. Wash your hands before touching food, clean used kitchen utensils before using them again.

Only freeze fresh, quality food. Refer to the “Food Freezing Guide” table to find out which products you can freeze and how long you can keep them. Blanch fruits and vegetables before freezing so that they retain color, aroma, taste and vitamins, Immerse them for a few moments in boiling water. Divide the food you want to freeze into small individual portions corresponding to a meal. Small portions are quickly frozen to the core. Pack the food tightly to prevent it from losing its flavor or dry out. Use plastic bags, polyethylene film, aluminum foil or containers suitable for freezing. If you use plastic bags, squeeze the air before sealing them. hermetically.

Note on each package:

  • The freezing date.
  • The expiry date.
    ■ The type of food contained.
  • The number of servings contained.

If you buy frozen foods, take them last when shopping. Check carefully:

  • That their packaging is not damaged
  • That they are not covered with a layer of frost (this would mean that they have been partially thawed). Pack them in an insulated bag or in newspaper, transport them quickly, put them away immediately.
    Respect the expiry date indicated on their packaging. Your appliance is equipped with a freezer compartment ****, it allows you to keep frozen products in an optimal way.

FOOD STORAGE

Do not put fresh foods next to those that are already frozen in order to avoid causing an increase in the temperature of the latter.

Information: the maximum weight of food that you can freeze per 24 hours is indicated on the identification plate (located inside the freezer section of your appliance, on the left wall at the bottom) under the name: "FREEZING CAPACITY / FREEZING CAPACITY (kg/24h)".

DEFROST FOOD

You can defrost food in five different ways:

  • By putting them in the freezer section of your appliance for several hours.
  • By letting them thaw gently at room temperature.
  • In a traditional oven at very low temperature (40/50°C).
  • In the microwave.
  • By cooking them directly. Thawing in the freezer is the slowest but safest method.

Caution: Never refreeze food that has been defrosted, even partially, without having cooked it first. We do not recommend that you take products straight out of the freezer (ice cream, ice cubes, etc.) directly to your mouth, as they are then at a very low temperature and you risk cold burns. Avoid touching frozen or deep-frozen foods with wet hands, they may stick together. We advise you to defrost your food only for immediate use.

6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Defrost

  • The defrosting of your device is manual.
  • It is necessary to defrost your device when the accumulated frost is about 2mm:
  • Unplug your appliance from the main power.
  • Remove all contents from the freezer compartment.
  • Leave the door of your appliance open to allow the ice to melt.
    • If necessary, remove large chunks of ice with a cloth or something that won't damage the walls.
  • Do not use hot water or other electric heating devices to melt accumulated ice.
    • After defrosting, remove accumulated ice/water and wipe the freezer compartment with a soft cloth.
  • Restart the device according to the initial instructions. Never use a knife or other sharp instrument to scrape off the ice inside.

Internal cleaning of the device

Before any maintenance, unplug the appliance and disconnect the power.

You should clean the inside of your freezer with a weak solution of baking soda. Then rinse with lukewarm water with a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the accessories in hot soapy water and make sure they are completely dry before putting them back on. Water will flow into the defrost drain, it does not matter if the quantity of water is not important, this water arrives in the collection tank located at the back and evaporates naturally.

Warning: make sure that no piece of food obstructs the defrost drain.

Cleaning the exterior of the device

Before any maintenance, unplug the appliance and disconnect the power.

Use a soft cloth and no abrasive cleanser to avoid damaging the surface.

The condenser grill at the back of your freezer and adjacent components can be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner or soft brush to remove dust.

If you are going on vacation

If your appliance is not to be used for several months, remove all food, turn off and unplug the appliance from the outlet. Clean and dry the inside and outside of the appliance thoroughly. Also leave the door open, blocking it if necessary, to prevent condensation, odors, mold.

Moving the device

Caution: Condensation may appear on the outside of the device. This may be due to a change in ambient temperature. Wipe off any remaining moisture. If the problem persists, please contact a qualified technician for assistance.

Energy savings

  • The freezer should be placed in the coolest place in the room, away from heat sources from other electrical appliances or heating, and not in direct sunlight.
  • Allow hot food to cool to room temperature before placing it in the freezer. Overloading the freezer will result in higher compressor usage. Food that freezes too slowly can lose quality and spoil.
  • Make sure food is properly wrapped, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer. This reduces the formation of frost inside the freezer.
  • The freezer storage compartment should not contain aluminum foil or wax paper. These coatings prevent the normal circulation of cold air and make the freezer less efficient.
  • Organizing and labeling food reduces door opening times and lengthy searches. Take all the food you need at once and close the door as soon as possible.

Switch off your device

If the device is not likely to work for a long time:

  • Remove all food from your appliance
  • Switch off the appliance by unplugging the device.
  • Clean it well.
  • Leave the door open to prevent odors from rising.

Change of direction of the door

Warning! Before changing the door opening direction, please unplug the appliance.

Your freezer has a reversible door. You can choose to open it from the left or from the right. To change the door opening direction, please follow the instructions below.
