Freezer operation

Temperature adjustment

The temperature of the freezer is adjusted by
means of the knob assembled on the

thermostat (item. 4), position „MAX” being the

lowest temperature.
The achieved temperatures can vary
according to the conditions of use of the
appliance, such as: place of the appliance,
ambient temperature, frequency of door
opening, extent of filling with food of the
freezer. The position of the thermostat knob
will change according to these factors.
Normally, for an ambient temperature of
approx. 430C, the thermostat will be adjusted
on an average position.

The signalling system is placed on the front
side of the freezer (Item 5).
It includes:

1. Thermostat adjustment knob – the inside

temperature is adjusted.

2. green LED – shows that the appliance is

supplied with electric energy.

3. red LED – damage – lights if the

temperature in the freezer is too high. The
LED will operate 15-45 minutes after the
putting into operation of the freezer, then it
must go off. If the LED goes on during the
operation, this means that defects have
occurred.

4. LED Orange – fast freeze function

activated – by setting the knob to
Superfreeze position the orange led goes
on, showing that the appliance entered
into the "fast freeze" mode. The exit of this
mode is done automatically after 50 hours
then the appliance runs in economic

mode, and the orange led goes off.
The three LEDs give information about the
mode of operation of the freezer.

EN Instruction for use

Advice for food conservation

The freezer is intended to keep the frozen
food for a long time, as well as to freeze fresh
food.
One of the main elements for a successful
food freezing is the packing.
The main conditions that the packing must
fulfill are the following: to be airtight, to be
inert towards the packed food, to resist to low
temperatures, to be proof to liquids, grease,
water vapours, smells, to be able to be
washed.
These conditions are fulfilled by the following
types of packings: plastic or aluminium film,
plastic and aliminium vessels, waxed
cardboard glasses or plastic glasses.

IMP O R T A NT!

- For freezing the fresh food please use the
supplied baskets of the appliance.

- Do not place into the freezer a too large
quantity of food at a time. The quality of the
food is best kept if they are deeply frozen as
quickly as possible. This is why it is advisable
not to exceed the freezing capacity of the
appliance specified in the "Product Fiche".

- The fresh food must not come into contact
with the food already frozen.

- The frozen food you have bought can be
placed into the freezer without having to
adjust the thermostat.

- If the freezing date is not mentioned on the
packing, please take into consideration a
period of max. 3 months, as a general guide.

- The food, even partially defrosted, cannot be
frozen again, it must be consumed
immediately or cooked and then refrozen.

- The fizzy drinks will not be kept in the
freezer.

- In case of a power failure, do not open the door
of the appliance. The frozen food will not be
affected if the failure lasts less than 67 hours.

Freezing with Superfrost

• Place the knob to super frost position. The

Superfrost lamp comes on.

• Wait 24 hours.

• Place the fresh food in the freezer. In order

to achieve fast freezing, food should be in
contact with the interior walls when it is placed
in the freezer.

• The Superfrost facility automatically switches

the fast freezing procedure off after 50 hours.

IMP O R T A NT!

When you place the knob to Superfrost
position, the compressor might not switch
on for a few minutes. This is due to the
integrated rise-delay switch which is
designed to increase the life span of the
refrigeration unit.

You should not switch on the Superfrost
function:

- when placing frozen food in the freezer;

- when freezing up to approx. 2 kg fresh food
daily.
