Storing
It is practical to replace frozen products into the storing
compartments (drawers) 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 place 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 setting.
To release the ice cubes hold the tray under running water
then twist the tray.
Some useful information and
advice
After opening and closing the door of the freezer,
vacuum will rise inside the appliance because of the
low temperature. So wait 2-3 minutes after closing the
door while inner pressure equalises.
Take care of operating the freezer at a position of
thermostatic control so that the inside 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.
Freezing and storage of frozen foods
As freezing with "No-Frost" technology is quicker, the
foods frozen this way will preserve their original form,
nutritional value and taste even after thawing.
Place the foods to be frozen in the lower part of the
product.
For the perfect operation of the product, make sure
that the frozen foods will not touch the ventilator
cover or the ventilator mounted on the backside of the
product.
For the best results it is recommended to distribute
the frozen foods evenly in the boxes.
If you make small portions of the foods, the freezing
process will take less time and subsequent thawing
will be possible in small portions also.
In order to avoid freezing burns, do not touch ice-
creams immediately after they have been taken out
from the freezer.
It is recommended to state the freezing date on the
package in order to check the storage duration.
The time of transportation from the seller to the
consumer must be as short as possible.
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 the
ventilation is.
Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film to
avoid building up unnecessary frost.
Avoid products put in the freezer compartment
touching foods already frozen.
Do not leave the door open longer than necessary and
avoid unnecessary openings.
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
Automatic defrosting
This product is designed to avoid the formation of ice in
the freezer. Accordingly, there is no need for manual
defrosting. The product will automatically perform any
defrosting once it becomes necessary.
No-Frost technology
In order to facilitate the removal of the ice layer, the
evaporator is assisted by electric heating during the
defrosting procedure. The ventilator is in OFF position. The
defrost water will drip in the tray placed at the compressor
and will evaporate. In the course of the defrosting
procedure (approx. 30 minutes) the evaporator becomes
warm but it has no influence on the internal temperature.
The foods should be kept well-packed in order to avoid any
moisture loss as a result of air circulation.
Do not obstruct the vent holes because otherwise the
operability of the product may be compromised.
For such purpose it is recommended to put all foods in the
drawers in the freezer compartment.
