Storage of food in the freezer

Observe the following recommendations to ensure the food remains fresh.

Freezing food

● Practically all the food products, except for vegetables consumed raw, such as lettuce can be frozen.
- Only food products of the highest quality, divided into small portions for single use, should be frozen.
● Products should be packed in materials that are odourless, resistant to air and moisture penetration, and not susceptible to fat. Plastic bags, polyethylene and aluminium sheets are the best wrapping materials.
- The packaging should be tight and should stick to the frozen products. Do not use glass containers.
- Keep the fresh and warm foodstuff at ambient temperature away from the products, which have already been frozen.
- We advise not to place more than 2 kg of fresh food at a time to the freezer per day (see table on page 59).
- In order to maintain good quality of the frozen food, reorganise the food that is in the middle of the freezer, so that it does not touch the products that are not frozen yet.
- It is recommended to move the already frozen products to one side and place the fresh products that are to be frozen to the opposite side, as close to the rear and side walls as possible.

The time of storage of the frozen products depends on their quality when fresh, before freezing and on the storage temperature.

The following storage periods are recommended when the temperature of -18^ or lower is maintained:

Products Months
Beef 6-8
Veal 3-6
Giblets 1-2
Pork 3-6
Poultry 6-8
Eggs 3-6
Fish 3-6
Vegetables 10-12
Fruit 10-12

Practical everyday tips

• Do not place fridges or freezers next to radiators, heaters, stoves or in direct sunlight.
  ● Make sure that air vents are not covered up and clean the dust off them once or twice a year.
• Select the right temperature: 6 to 8°C in your refrigerator and -18°C in your freezer is sufficient.
• When on holiday, turn up the temperature in your fridge.
• Only open your fridge or freezer when necessary. It helps if you know what food they contain and where it is located. Return food to the fridge or freezer as soon as possible after you have used it so that it doesn't warm up too much.
• Wipe out the inside of your fridge regularly with a cloth soaked in a mild detergent. Appliances which are not self-defrosting will require regular defrosting. Don't allow frost layers thicker than 10 mm to form.
• Keep the seal around the door clean, otherwise it won't shut properly. Always replace broken seals.

Understanding the stars

* Temperature is at least -6°C; sufficient to store frozen food for about a week. Drawers or compartments marked with one star used to be a feature of (mostly) cheaper fridges.
** Food can be stored at -12°C or below for 1-2 weeks without losing their taste. Not suitable for freezing food.
*** Mainly used to store foods at -18°C or below. Can also be used to freeze up to 1 kilogram of fresh food.
****This appliance is suitable for storing foods at -18°C or below and freezing larger quantities of fresh foods.

Defrosting the freezer

• It is recommended to combine defrosting the appliance with washing it.
• Excessive accumulation of ice on the freezing areas impairs the appliance's freezing capacity and increases the energy consumption.
• Defrost the appliance at least once or twice a year.
• If there is food in the freezer, set the knob to the max. position about 4 hours before the planned defrosting. This will ensure the possibility of storing the food at the ambient temperature for a longer time.
• After taking the food out of the freezer, put it in a container, wrap it with several layers of paper, a blanket and store it at a cool place.
• The defrosting operation should last as short as possible. Long storage of food at the ambient temperature shortens their shelf life.

In order to defrost the freezer chamber, you must take the following steps:

● Take out the plug from the mains socket.
- Open the door and remove the food from the freezer.
● After about 0.5 hours. easily from the smooth surface of the walls to remove the layer of frost and water (Fig. 11).
● Wash and dry the interior of the freezer.
- Switch on the freezer as described in the relevant section of its operating instructions.

You must not put an electric heater, a heating fan or a hair dryer into the freezer by any means.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Problems Possible	causes Remedies
The appliance does not work	Electric circuit rupture -	check whether the plug is properly inserted into the socket- check whether the power cable of the appliance is not damaged- check whether there is voltage in the socket, by plugging another appliance, e.g. a night lamp- check whether the appliance is switched on by setting the thermostat to a position above 0.
Temperature inside the appliance is not low enough	Incorrect setting of the adjustment knob	- reset the knob to a higher position
	The ambient temperature is higher or lower than the ST climate range	- the appliance is adapted to operation in the ST climate range (see page 60).
	The appliance is located at the sunlit place or near the heat sources	- move the appliance to another place. Observe the guidelines contained in the manual
	Too much warm food loaded at a time	- wait 72 hours until the food becomes cool (freezes) and the required temperature is reached inside the chamber
	Internal air circulation hindered	- place the food and containers in such a way that they do not touch the rear wall of the fridge
	The air circulation at the back of the appliance is hindered	- move the appliance min. 30 mm away from the wall
	Too much white frost accumulated on the freezing elements	defrost the freezer chamber
	The door of the fridge/freezer are opened too often and/or remain open for too long	- reduce the frequency of opening the door and/or shorten the time when door remains open
	The door does not close completely	- place the food and containers so that they would not interfere with door closed

TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Problems Possible causes	Remedies
	The compressor is switched on too rarely	- check whether the ambient temperature is not lower than 16°C
	Door gasket inserted incorrectly	- press the gasket in
The appliance works continuously	Incorrect setting of the adjustment knob	- reset the knob to a lower position
	See. "Temperature inside the appliance is not low enough for description of other possible causes	See. "Temperature inside the appliance is not low enough for description of other possible remedies
The appliance generates unusual noise	Incorrect levelling of the appliance	- level the appliance properly
	The appliance touches furniture and/or other objects	- place the appliance at a location that ensures proper clearances around it

Certain sounds can be heard during normal use of the refrigerator, which do not affect its correct operation.

Sounds, which can be easily prevented:

• noise caused by the appliance which is not level - adjust the position with the adjustable turn-in front feet. Alternatively, place pads made of soft material under the rear rollers, especially when the appliance is placed on tiles.
• touching the adjacent piece of furniture - move the refrigerator away.
• creaking of the drawers or shelves - take out and put back the drawer or shelf.
  ●sounds of clinking bottles - move bottles apart.

Sounds heard during normal use are mainly due to operation of the thermostat, compressor (switching on) and cooling system (thermal expansion and contraction of the radiator caused by flow of the cooling agent).
