We recommend that freezer connects to a separate circuit, which does not power any other appliances.
Use an electrical outlet, which cannot be accidentally disconnected by an e.g. switch.
•
Do not use extension cables to connect the freezer.
•
Before you put in fresh or frozen foods, the freezer should run fi rst at least 2 to 3 hours, in summer months
at least 4 hours due to higher ambient temperature.
•
When you fi rst turn the appliance on, it should run continuously for 24 hours before it reaches a suffi
ciently
low temperature. Avoid frequent opening of door during that time and putting in large amount of foods.
•
If the appliance is turned off or disconnected from the power supply you need to wait at least 5 minutes
before restarting or plugging it in to prevent damage to the compressor.
Note:
Disconnect the freezer from the power supply before any manipulation. After fi nishing the installation
plug the freezer in the outlet and set the thermostat to the required value.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Control panel with the thermostat
•
After connecting the freezer to the power supply the green indicator “
Power
”
(Power) lights up.
•
Adjust the temperature inside the freezer using the rotary thermostat knob. Turn to
the right to lower the freezer temperature.
•
Setting the temperature to “COOLING” is used to cool and store frozen food. The
setting range “FREEZING” to “SUPER” is used to freeze food.
•
When the controller is set to the “SUPER” position, the quick freeze mode starts. The
freezer compressor runs continuously at this setting.
Notes:
•
The temperature in the freezer is aff ected by the ambient temperature, by the
temperature of the freshly placed foods and the frequency of door opening. If
necessary, adjust the thermostat.
Storing the foods in the freezer
•
The freezer is intended for long-term storage or deep-frozen foods and making of ice cubes.
•
When storing frozen food, follow the instructions on food packaging. If there are no instructions given, the
food should not be stored for more than 3 months from date of purchase.
•
When buying frozen food, make sure that it was frozen at suffi
cient temperature and that the packaging
is not damaged.
•
Frozen foods should be transported in a suitable packaging and placed in the freezer as soon as possible.
•
If the frozen food packaging shows signs of moisture or swelling, the food was probably stored at improper
temperatures and its quality is low.
•
The storage life of frozen foods depends on the room temperature, thermostat setting, the frequency of
door opening, type of food and the time needed to transport food from the store in the freezer. Never
exceed the indicated maximum storage life.
Freezing fresh foods
•
Make sure that the freezing procedure is carried out in the strictest hygienic conditions, since the freezing
alone does not sterilize the food.
•
Do not place hot or warm foods in the freezer.
•
Do not place fresh food side by side with frozen food, it could lead to partial thawing of already frozen
food.
•
When freezing fresh food (meat, fi sh, minced meat), it is recommended to divide the foods into individual
portions and freeze them separately.
•
Before storing food in the freezer, wrap it in plastic bags, aluminium foil or freezer bowls.
