The thermostat ensures that the required temperature is
maintained in the freezer. Turning the thermostat knob
towards no. 7 makes the temperature in the freezer colder,
and turning the knob towards no. 1 makes the temperature
warmer. The correct setting can be found by measuring the
temperature of the top package in the middle of the freezer.
This should not have a temperature higher than -18°C.

The lid is fitted with a tightly closing sealing strip to prevent
moisture getting inside the freezer and increasing the
amount of frost formed.
When the lid is opened the air inside the freezer becomes
slightly warmer and expands.
As soon as the lid is closed again the air is cooled
immediately.
This may lead to the creation of a vacuum which makes it
hard to open the lid immediately after it has been closed.
This is quite normal.
Wait a few minutes until the vacuum has disappeared, then
open the lid by pulling gently. Never pull the handle violently.

It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer is frozen
quickly, and that the food already in the freezer is heated as
little as possible.
If more than 3-4 kg of food is to be frozen:
Turn the thermostat knob to the coldest setting (“7”). The
freezer will now run continuously, creating a sufficient
reserve of the temperature required.
Turn the thermostat knob 6-24 hours before placing new
food in the freezer, depending on how much food is to be
frozen.
Place the food in the freezer and leave the thermostat set
at “7.” for about 24 hours more.
Then turn the thermostat knob back again. The freezer
will return to normal storage temperature. If you forget to
turn the thermostat knob back, the freezer will not be
damaged by running at this setting for some time -
but energy will be wasted.

Food must be cold before freezing (no more than
room temperature).
Food must be packed in airtight and moisture-proof
packaging to prevent it from drying out.
Place fresh food for freezing close to the cold sides of
the freezer, making sure that it is not in contact with
the frozen food already in the freezer.
Never fill the freezer to more than 5 mm below the top
edge.
See under “Helpful hints”.

The freezing capacity of the freezer is stated in the data
plate (kg/24 hours). Do not exceed the amount stated -
if you do, the freezing time will be extended. The data
plate is located inside the lid.

The baskets are designed for the storage of food which
has already been frozen.

CAPACITY
IMPORTANT
The freezing capacity stated can be utilised to
the full occasionally to freeze large amounts
of fresh food. However, if the freezer is filled
with large amounts of food for freezing every
day, the capacity stated is reduced by about
one-third.
