Tricity Bendix TB 85 F, Operating And Installation Instructions

6

In order to freeze the quantity indicated on the rating

plate, arrange the food directly in contact with the

cooling surfaces. If the food is frozen in the baskets,

the maximum quantity that can be frozen is slightly

less.

Once the food is completely frozen (which could take

up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze switch to the

ÇNÈ position; the yellow light (D) goes off.
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other

compartments, so that the top compartments can be

used for a further freezing operation.
- The food to be frozen must be fresh and of the

best quality.

- Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is

already frozen.

- During the freezing process, ensure that the

freezer door remains closed.

Frozen food storage

When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has

been out of use for some time, we advise you to run

your appliance for at least two hours in the Çfast

freezeÈ mode before storing frozen food.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,

you should:

if large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all

drawers and baskets from appliance (except for the

last one at the bottom) and place food on the cooling

shelves.

Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated

on the wall of the upper section (where

applicable).
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the

manufacturer.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it

open longer than is absolutely necessary.

Important

Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in

the freezer compartment.
Ice Iollies, if consumed immediately after removal

from the freezer, can possibly result in a low

temperature skin burn.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands

are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or

Òfrost/freezer burnsÓ.

Important

In the event of a power cut do not open the door.

The food in the freezer will not be affected if the

power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should

the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly

and must not be re-frozen.

Thawing

Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in

the fridge or at room temperature depending on the

time available. Small food items may even be

cooked from frozen; in this case cooking will take

longer.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw

accidentally should either be eaten as soon as

possible or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is

uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it

can be cooked and then refrozen.
Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the

refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat

can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must

ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through. 
Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling

water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in

the oven in their aluminium wrapping. 
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing

any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the

oven instructions, particularly regarding the

placement of aluminium wrapping or containers in

the oven.

Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.

Making ice cubes

The appliance is provided with one or more plastic

ice cube trays.
Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to expand

and place them in one of the freezer compartment.
To release the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight

twist. Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to

remove the trays from the freezer.

INSTALLATION

Positioning

This appliance is designed to operate in ambient

temperatures between 10¡C (50¡F) and 32¡C (90¡F).

It should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of

direct sunlight and away from extreme temperature

e.g. not next to a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold

room e.g. an outhouse, where the temperatures may

fall below 10¡C (50¡F). If these temperatures are

exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, then the appliance

may not operate correctly.
You should also ensure that air can circulate freely

around the back and the top of the cabinet. There

must also be at least 100 mm (4Ó) distance between

the top of the cabinet and any overhanging kitchen

furniture (A). Ideally, the appliance should not be

positioned beneath overhanging furniture (B).
There should also be a gap of 25 mm either side of

the appliance. Do not obstruct the space

underneath.

Rear spacers

The plastic bag containing all relevant

documentation also contains two spacers to be fitted

into special holes in the back of the appliance.
Fit the spacers into the holes, taking care to ensure

that the arrow (A) is positioned as shown in the

diagram. Then turn them through 45¡ (arrow (A)

vertical) until they lock into place.

DO NOT install in places with restricted ventilation.
Adjust the level of the appliance by screwing out the

adjustable foot, or feet, at the bottom of the cabinet

using your fingers.
