Frequently Asked Questions - LTFFFS12 Logik

What is the ideal temperature for my Logik LTFFFS12 freezer?

The recommended temperature is -18°C for long-term storage of frozen foods. Use the adjustable thermostat to set it.

How often should I defrost the freezer?

Defrost when the ice layer reaches 5 mm thickness to maintain efficiency. This typically occurs every 6-12 months depending on usage.

Why is my freezer making strange noises?

Normal sounds include gurgling from refrigerant flow, clicking from the thermostat, and humming from the compressor. If noises are loud or irregular, check if the freezer is level.

What should I do during a power outage?

Keep the door closed. The freezer will keep food frozen for up to 10 hours. Avoid opening the door unnecessarily. If power returns within that time, food should be safe.

How do I clean the condenser coils?

Unplug the freezer, access the coils at the back or bottom, and use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust. Clean annually to maintain performance.

Can I install the freezer in an unheated garage?

Yes, but the ambient temperature must be between -15°C and 38°C. Below -15°C, the freezer may not operate correctly.

How do I reverse the door swing?

Refer to the manual for step-by-step instructions. You will need a screwdriver and possibly a spanner. The door is reversible by swapping hinges and handles.

What is the fast freeze function and when to use it?

Fast freeze lowers the temperature rapidly to freeze fresh food quickly. Activate it 24 hours before adding large amounts of unfrozen food to preserve quality.

How do I adjust the temperature?

Use the thermostat dial inside the freezer. Usually 1 is warmest, 5 is coldest. Set to 3-4 for normal use (-18°C).

What spare parts are available for this freezer?

Common replaceable parts include the door gasket, thermostat, light bulb (if applicable), and compressor. Contact Logik support or authorized dealers.

Location

When selecting a position for your unit you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 16^ C and 38^ C. Avoid locating your unit near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight as it may increase the electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or outdoor installation. Do not drape the unit with any covering.

When installing the unit, ensure that 100 mm of free space is left at both sides, 100 mm at the rear and 75 mm at the top of the unit. The door can be opened to the right or the left, depending on what better suits the location. Please ensure there is adequate space for the door to fully open.

• If you want to have the door swing reversed, we recommend that you contact a qualified technician. You should only try to reverse the door yourself if you believe that you are qualified to do so.
• All parts removed must be saved to do the reinstallation of the door. You should rest the unit on something solid so that it will not slip during the door change process. Do not lay the unit flat as this may damage the coolant system. Ensure the unit is unplugged and empty.

Reversing the Door Swing

Tools required: Phillips style screwdriver / Flat bladed screwdriver / Hexagonal spanner.

• Ensure the unit is unplugged and empty.
• Adjust the two levelling feet to their highest position.
• To take the door off it is necessary to tilt the unit backwards. You should rest the unit on something solid so that it will not slip during the door reversing process.
• All parts removed must be saved to do the reinstallation of the door.

• Do not lay the unit flat as this may damage the coolant system.

Cleaning Before Use

Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda. Then rinse with warm water using a 'wrung-out' sponge or cloth. Wash the drawers in warm soapy water and dry completely before replacing in the unit. Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth.

If you require more information refer to the Cleaning section.

• Before Plugging in YOU MUST
Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the unit.
• Before Turning On!
Do not turn on until two hours after moving the unit. The coolant fluid needs time to settle.

Before Using Your Unit

Before placing any food in your unit, turn it on and wait for 24 hours, to make sure it is working properly and to allow it time to fall to the correct temperature. Your unit should not be overfilled.

Main Unit

Control Panel

1. Thermostat Control Dial
2. Alarm Indicator
3. Power Indicator
4. Super Indicator

5. Super Freeze Button

6. Connect the mains cable to the mains socket. The power indicator will turn on. The internal temperature of your unit is controlled by a thermostat. There are three setting Min, Normal and Max.

7. After the unit has been on for 20 minutes adjust the thermostat control dial to Normal. This is the recommended setting when operating at normal room temperature (between 16°C and 38°C).
8. The unit may not operate at the correct temperature if it is in a particularly hot or a particularly cold room, or if you open the door often.
9. To ensure that the unit is cool enough to sufficiently chill your food, wait 24 hours before filling it with food.
10. If you are concerned that your unit is not being kept cold enough and wish to check the temperature, you will need a special fridge/freezer thermometer. These are available from most supermarkets and hardware shops.

Place the thermometer in the centre of the unit, where it can be read easily. Leave overnight, the temperature in the unit should be between -18^ or lower.

Adjusting the Temperature

The internal temperature of the unit is controlled by a thermostat. Max position is the coldest setting and it is used for fast freezing. The recommended position is Normal, but it should be adjusted according to the environment.

Fast Freezing

Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. Press the Super Freeze button to makes your unit operate at its coldest temperatures (approximately -28°C) continuously. The Super indicator will turn on. It helps to quickly freeze and retain more of the goodness of your food. Freezing will be completed after 24 hours. After freezing your food, press the Super Freeze button. The Super indicator will turn off. Never freeze large quantities of fresh food at one time.

When the Super Freeze button is set on, the compressor works continuously to fast freeze much hot food quickly. So you must turn off the Super Freeze button to normal mode in 24 hours.

Alarm for Freezer

When the freezer temperature is higher than -8^ , the alarm indicator will illuminate until the temperature is below -8^ .

Noises Inside the Unit!

You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them!

These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.

Shopping for Frozen Foods

- Your unit is 4-star. * * * *

When you are buying frozen food, check the storage guidelines on the packaging. You will be able to store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the 4-star rating. This is usually the period stated as "Best before" on the front of the packaging. The maximum freezing capacity of this freezer is shown on the rating plate. Do not exceed the maximum capacity.

• Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy your frozen foods. It should show a temperature lower than -18°C.
  • Take a quick look at the frozen food package and make sure it is in perfect condition.
  • Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket. Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping and on the journey home as this will help to keep the food frozen.
• Don't buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Specially insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These bags can keep frozen food frozen longer.

Preparations for Freezing

• Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. Freeze food in small quantities as it freezes faster, takes less time to defrost and enables you to control the quantity you need better.
• Leave cooked food to cool completely. Chill food before freezing if possible.
• Consider how you will want to cook the food before freezing it.
• Don't freeze food in metal containers if you may want to microwave it straight from the freezer.
• Use special freezer bags, freezer film, polythene bags, plastic containers, and aluminium foil (heavy duty grade only). If in doubt, double wrap your food. Don't use aluminium foil for acidic foods, e.g. citrus fruits. Don't use thin cling film, glass, or used food containers without cleaning.
• Exclude as much air from the container as possible. You could buy a special vacuum pump which sucks excessive air out of the packaging.
• Leave a small amount of air space when freezing liquids to allow expansion.
• You can use the space in the freezer most efficiently if you freeze liquids (or solids with liquids, e.g. stew) in square blocks. This is known as "Preforming". Pour the liquid into a polythene bag which is inside a square sided container. Freeze it, and then remove it from the container and seal the bag.

• Label your frozen foods as they will look the same when in frozen state. Use special freezer tapes, labels and pens with different colours. This allows you to easily organise and to effectively use the freezer. Write the contents and date; otherwise the frozen food might exceed the storage time and this could cause food poisoning. Please refer to your food packaging for the recommended storage time.
• You may also add the weight and cooking notes, e.g. "defrost first", "cook from frozen" and keep a separate log of what is in each drawer. This will save opening the door and searching around unnecessarily.

Defrosting Frozen Food

1. Take the frozen food out from the unit and uncover the frozen food. Let it defrost at room temperature. Don't forget that defrosting in a warm area encourages the growth of bacteria and low temperature cooking may not destroy dangerous bacteria.
2. Drain off and throw away any liquid lost during defrosting.
3. Always make sure there are no ice-crystals in the food before cooking, particularly with meat. These crystals indicate that the food has not fully defrosted.
4. Cook food as soon as possible after defrosting.
5. Many microwaves and ovens have a defrost setting. To avoid bacterial build up, only use these if you intend to cook the food immediately afterwards.

Never refreeze anything that has been defrosted out unless you cook it again, to kill off harmful bacteria. Never re-freeze defrosted shellfish. Re-seal packs properly after removing items. This prevents drying or freezer-burn and a build up of frost on any remaining food

Defrosting

Frost might build up in the unit after the it has been used for a period of time. Scrape away the frost using a plastic scraper (not included).

Do not use a metal or sharp instrument to scrape away the frost, nor should you use any electrical appliances to aid defrosting.

We recommend that defrosting should be carried out when the frost layer builds up to 10 mm (0.39"). Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low, follow these procedures:

1. Place a shallow bowl or pan below the unit. Scrape away the frost using a plastic scraper (not included). Defrosting the remaining frost can be speeded up by placing a bowl of hot water inside the unit and closing the door. As the solid frost loosens, scrape it away with the plastic scraper and remove.

2. Take out the food, turn the unit off at the mains supply and leave the door open. Ideally, the frozen food should be put into another freezer. If this is not possible, wrap the food in several sheets of newspaper or large towels and then a thick blanket to keep it cool.

3. When defrosting is complete, clean your unit's interior and exterior.

Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit

• Remove all the drawers before cleaning.
• Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with warm water using a ‘wrung-out’ sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the drawers.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make sure that the door is closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside the unit.
• The grille of the condenser at the back of the unit and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.

Cleaning Tips

Condensation may appear on the outside of the unit. This maybe due to a change in room temperature. Wipe off any moisture residue. If the problem continues, please contact a qualified technician for assistance.

Care When Handling / Moving the Unit

Hold the unit around its sides or base when moving it. Under no circumstances should it be lifted by holding the edges of the top surface.

Servicing

The unit should be serviced by an authorised engineer and only genuine spare parts should be used. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the unit yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunction. Contact a qualified technician.

Switching Off for Long Periods of Time

When the unit is not in use for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains supply, empty all food and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

Disposal

Old units still have some residual value. An environmentally friendly method of disposal will ensure that valuable raw materials can be recovered and used again. The refrigerant used in your unit and insulation materials require special disposal procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the unit are damaged prior to disposal.

Up to date information concerning options of disposing of your old unit and packaging from the new one can be obtained from your local council office.

When disposing of an old unit break off any old locks or latches and remove the door as a safeguard.
