OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Temperature control
The thermostat controller is located inside the freezer behind the front door. The thermostat regulates the
temperature of the interior automatically. Thermostat settings:
•
Setting „Min“:
Lower cooling power, higher temperature.
•
Setting „Mid“:
Regular operation, suitable in most cases.
•
Setting „Max“:
Maximum cooling power, lowest temperature.
Notes:
•
At high ambient temperatures, for example during a hot summer day, it may be necessary to set the
thermostat to "Max". In this case, the compressor can run continuously to provide the required low
temperature inside the freezer.
•
When switching on the first time after installing the freezer, set the thermostat to a medium value and
allow the freezer interior space to cool well before inserting the food. We recommend to wait 24 hours
before inserting the food.
Tips for storing food in a freezer
•
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 sufficient 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.
•
Make sure that the foods do not damage the freezer pipes when closing the drawers.
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.
•
It is advisable to store cooked meat and fish in places above raw meat and fish to prevent any transfer of
bacteria.
•
Leave space between the frozen food to allow the air to circulate inside the appliance.
•
Wrap the individual foods separately in plastic bags, foil or freezer bowls to avoid transfer of taste and the
drying of food.
•
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, fish, minced meat), it is recommended to divide the foods into individual
portions and freeze them separately.
•
The maximum freezing capacity in kg in 24 hours at room temperature 25 °C is specified in the section
„Technical specifications“ at the end of this manual. Never freeze more than the maximum allowable
quantity of food.
Note:
Never place beverages or foods in preserving jars in the freezer. For ensuring optimum performance,
keep in the freezer enough space to allow air flow around individual packages.
