Storing

It is practical to replace frozen products into the

storing compartments (cages) after freezing has

finished so that to make room in the freezing

compartment for another freezing.

Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods

already stored.

How to make ice cubes

To make ice cubes fill the enclosed ice cube tray with

water and put it to the frozen food compartment.

Wetting the bottom of the tray and setting

thermostatic control knob to maximum stage can

shorten preparing time. After finishing do not forget

to reset the thermostatic control to the suitable stage.

Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under

running water then twist or hit it.

Some useful information and

advice

After opening and closing the door of freezer

vacuum will rise inside the appliance because of

the low temperature. So wait 2-3 minutes after

closing the door - if you want to open it again -

while inner pressure equalises.

Take care of operating the freezer at a position of

thermostatic

control

temperature can never go beyond -18 °C, since

temperature higher than this can deteriorate

frozen foods.

It is practical to make sure of faultless operation

of the appliance daily so as to notice possible

failure in time and prevent deterioration of frozen

foods.

After a power failure the product will restart and

the quick freeze function will be switched on. If

not switched off manually, the quick freeze

function will be automatically switched off 5 hours

later. When the quick freeze function is switched

off, the yellow indicator (C) will go out.

Hints and ideas

In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given

about how to use the appliance to reach maximum

energy saving and there is environmental information

about the appliance as well.

How to save energy

Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place and

near anything that gives off heat.

Be sure that the condenser and the compressor

are well ventilated. Do not cover the sections

where ventilation is.

Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling

film to avoid building up unnecessary frost.

Avoid products put in the freezer compartment to

touch foods already frozen.

Do not leave the door open longer than

necessary and avoid unnecessary openings.

that

the

inside

Put warm foods into the appliance only when

they are at room temperature.

The condenser must be kept clean.

The appliance and environment

This appliance does not contain gasses which could

damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant

circuit or insulation materials. The appliance shall not

be discarded together with the urban refuse and

rubbish. Avoid damaging the cooling unit, especially

at the rear near the heat exchanger. Information on

your local disposal sites may be obtained from your

municipal authorities.

The materials used on this appliance marked with

the sympol

are recyclable.

Maintenance

Defrosting

It is a normal phenomenon that a part of the internal

humidity is turned into frost and ice during operation.

However, a thick frost or ice layer has an insulating

effect and thus reduces the freezing performance

leading to rising internal temperatures and higher

energy consumption and, above a certain layer

thickness, to difficulties in the opening or sudden

break of the freezer door.

If the formation of frost and ice is not significant, use

the spatula (accessory) to remove or scrape off the

frost or ice layer.

Please note that the tray shown in the figure is not an

accessory.

If the frost or ice layer is too thick for removal with the

spatula, defrosting will be necessary. The frequency

of defrosting depends on the actual use.

To defrost the product:

Set the thermostat to position <<

Disconnect the product from the mains.

After removing them from the freezer, place the

frozen foods in a basket padded with paper or cloth

and kept in a cool place, or relocate them into the

deep-freezing or cooling compartment of a normal

fridge.

Leave the door open.

From time to time use a cloth or sponge to sweep off

laterally the defrost water so that it can be collected

in a drain at the bottom of the product and then

remove the water as follows:
