Frigidaire FV 3501, Instruction Book

Setting the thermostat knob can be done practically

with a coin. Turning the control knob clockwise

cooling becomes more and more intensive.
In the appliance -18 °C or lower temperature can be

reached if the thermostat knob is set according to the

figure.
The thermostat can be switched off („0” position),

which means breaking the circuit of the compressor

i.e. stopping cooling.
The temperature coming about in the freezer is

effected by not only the position of the thermostatic

control and the ambient temperature, but frequency of

door openings and the quantity of food put into it, etc.

In maximum position of the thermostat - in case

of increased demand e.g. during heatwaves -

the compressor may operate continually. This does

not cause damages to the appliance.

Freezing

Freezing different products should always be done in

the freezing compartment after proper preparing.
Move the fast freezer switch to the right (yellow lamp

gives light) 4 hours before freezing food in small

quantity and about 24 hours before in case of

products in bigger quantity. This time the compressor

operates continually  to reach the temperature

necessary for freezing.
Place the foods to be frozen in and operate the

appliance as written for about 24 hours.
After these move the fast freezer switch to the left

(yellow light will go out).
The freezing tray is suitable for freezing smaller fruits

(raspberry, strawberry, currant, etc.). Fruits should be

put in the tray in thin layers without packaging. After

freezing they can be packed and sorted out then

placed into the storing compartments.

Storing

It is practical to replace frozen products into the

storing compartments (cages) after freezing has

finished so that to make room in the freezing

compartment for another freezing.
Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods

already stored.
