Frequently Asked Questions - L200CFB18 Logik

How do I set the temperature on my Logik L200CFB18 freezer?

The temperature is controlled by a thermostat dial inside the unit. Turn the dial to the desired position; 7 is the coldest. The recommended setting is 5. Wait 24 hours after first turning on before adding food.

How do I defrost the freezer?

When frost builds up to 10 mm thick, unplug the unit and remove food. Scrape frost with the included plastic scraper (do not use metal tools). Place a container under the drain hole, remove both drain plugs, and let the water drain. Speed up by placing a bowl of hot water inside with the door closed. After defrosting, dry thoroughly, replace plugs, and turn on.

Why is my freezer making unusual noises?

Noises from the refrigerant circulation and compressor are normal. The unit uses CFC-free gases which may be more audible. This does not affect performance. If noises are excessive, check that the unit is level and not touching walls or cabinets.

How much free space is needed around the freezer?

Ensure at least 25 mm of free space on both sides and 50 mm at the rear. Also allow enough space for the door to open fully. The room should be well-ventilated and within 10°C to 43°C ambient temperature.

Can I install the freezer in an unheated garage or outbuilding?

Yes, the unit can be used in a garage or outbuilding as long as the ambient temperature stays between 10°C and 43°C. In colder conditions, performance may be affected. Avoid placing near heat sources or in direct sunlight.

How do I clean the inside and outside of the freezer?

For the interior, wipe with a weak bicarbonate of soda solution, then rinse with warm water and dry completely. For the exterior, use a damp cloth and then a standard furniture polish (avoid getting polish on the magnetic door seal or inside).

What should I do if condensation appears on the outside?

Condensation on the surface is normal and can be wiped dry with a cloth. It may occur due to changes in room temperature. If it persists, contact your retailer. Check that the door seals are not damaged.

What is the maximum freezing capacity?

The freezer can freeze up to 14 kg of fresh food in 24 hours. For best results, freeze food in small portions and allow cooked food to cool completely before freezing.

How do I move the freezer safely?

Always move the unit by holding its sides or base. Never lift by the top edges. After moving, wait at least 2 hours before plugging in to allow the coolant to settle. Two persons are recommended for manoeuvring.

How should I dispose of the freezer at the end of its life?

Do not dispose of with household waste. Take it to a designated WEEE recycling collection point. Ensure refrigerant pipes are not damaged. Local council or retailer can advise on disposal options. Remove doors and locks to prevent child entrapment.

Installing the Inner Drain Plug before use

Take the inner drain plug from the accessory bag and install it into the inner drain plug hole inside the bottom of the unit.

Cleaning Before Use

Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda. Then rinse with warm water using a sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before. 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.

Switching On Your Unit

1. To switch on the unit, connect the mains cable to the mains socket. To switch off the unit, unplug it from the mains socket.

2. The internal temperature of your freezer is controlled by a thermostat. Adjust the thermostat control dial to the desired position, 7 is the coldest. The ideal position is 5 but should be adjusted according to its environment. The appliance may not operate

correctly if it is in a particularly hot or cold room or if the door is opened often or for prolonged periods.

1. The Running indicator will light up or extinguish as the unit maintains its internal temperature (as the compressor switches on or off).
2. To ensure that the unit is cool enough to sufficiently freeze your food, wait 24 hours before filling it with food.
3. 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 freezer and leave overnight. The correct temperature for the freezer should be -18°C or lower.

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.

Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit

• Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored above raw meats/fishes to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect juices and cover it properly. Place the container at the bottom inside the unit.
• Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of the unit are kept cool.
• To prevent transfer of flavours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
  • Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain the internal temperature of the unit.
• To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the door. We recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take food out.

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 fridge freezer tapes, labels and pens with different colours. This allows you to easily organise and to effectively use the freezer. Write the

Line drawing of a hand pouring liquid from a container into a container with a small object inside (no text or symbols)

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.

Defrosting Frozen Food

- Take the frozen food out and 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.

- Drain off and throw away any liquid lost during defrosting.

- 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.

• Cook food as soon as possible after defrosting.

- 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 re-freeze anything that has been defrosted 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 may build up in the freezer compartment after it has been used for a period of time. Scrape away the frost using the plastic scraper (included).

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

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

1. 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 rug or blanket to keep it cool.
2. To remove melted frost from the drain hole, place a suitable container under it. Remove the Water Drain Plug on the front of the unit. Reach down into the freezer and unscrew the inner drain plug.
3. Scrape away the frost using the plastic scraper. Defrosting the remaining frost can be sped up by placing a bowl of hot water inside the freezer compartment and closing the door. As the solid frost loosens, scrape it away with the plastic scraper and remove.
4. After all the water has drained away, replace the inner drain plug and then the Water Drain Plug.
5. When defrosting is complete, clean your unit's interior and exterior.
6. When the compartment is completely clean and dry, close the door, switch on the freezer again.
7. Leave the unit to cool down for an hour, and then you can start placing frozen food inside the unit.

Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit

• Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with warm water using a sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry.
• 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.

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 unit, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

Condensation Appears on the Outside of the Freezer

Condensation may appear on the surface of the Chest Freezer, this is normal - wipe dry with a dry cloth.

This may be due to a change in the room temperature. Wipe off any residue of moisture. If the problem continues contact the local store where you purchased your freezer.

When your appliance is working, the condenser at the back (exposed models) may become hot or alternatively the sides may become hot (hidden condenser models).

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 the 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 doors as a safeguard.
