Storing in the freezer

It is practical to replace frozen products into the basket(s)
after freezing has finished. Doing this you could make
room in the freezing compartment for another freezing.
Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods already
stored.

If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove the
baskets except the lowermost one from appliance and
place food on the cooling surface.

Do not forget to keep to the storage time given on
the packaging of frozen products if you buy them

frozen. To store home-frozen products see the storing
instructions placed in the door of the freezer. Symbols
signify the various foods, numbers mean maximum stor-
ing time given in months.

It is safe to store quick-frozen, frozen foods only if
they have not dissolved even for a short time until

placing them into the freezer. If the deep-frozen food has
already dissolved, refreezing is not recommended, it has
to be used up as soon as possible.

How to make ice cubes

To make ice cubes fill the enclosed ice cube tray with
water and put it to the frozen food compartment. Setting
thermostatic control knob to maximum position can
shorten preparing time. After finishing do not forget to
reset the thermostatic control to the suitable position.

Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under run-
ning water then twist or hit it. If the ice tray freezes to the
compartment, avoid using metal tools or knife to take it
out as the cooling system can be damaged.

Some useful information and

advice

The variable shelves are worth paying attention to,
which increases the usability of the fresh food com-
partment considerably. Rearranging the shelves is
also possible when the door is open at an angle of
90°.

After opening and closing the door of freezer vacuum
will rise inside the appliance because of the low tem-
perature. So wait 2-3 minutes after closing the door
- if you want to open it again - while inner pressure
equalises.

Take care of operating the freezer at a position of
thermostatic control so that the inside temperature
can never go above -18 °C, since temperature high-
er than this can deteriorate frozen foods.

It is practical to make sure of faultless operation of
the appliance daily so as to notice possible failure in
time and prevent deterioration of frozen foods.

How to save energy

Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place and near
anything that gives off heat.

Be sure that the condenser and the compressor are
well ventilated. Do not cover the sections where ven-
tilation is.

Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film to
avoid building up unnecessary frost.

Do not leave the door open longer than necessary
and avoid unnecessary openings.

Put warm foods into the appliance only when they are
at room temperature.

Keep the condenser clean.

Hints and ideas

In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given about
how to use the appliance to reach maximum energy sav-
ing and there is environmental information about the
appliance as well.

Run the appliance this way for 24 hours.

After 24 hours set the thermostat knob according to your
choice or leave it in a medium position, which is in gener-
al appropriate for everyday cooling needs.

Setting the thermostat knob to a higher (e.g. maxi-
mum) position is not recommended. Although

doing so would make the freezing time shorter, on the
other hand the temperature of the fridge compartment
may go permanently below 0 °C, what yields freezing the
food and drinks stored there.

Never freeze food in bigger quantity than given
in the 'Technical data' at the same time, other-

wise freezing will not be thorough and after dissolv-
ing various deterioration may take place (losing taste
and aroma, lysing, etc.).

Do not make ice during freezing preferably,
because making ice reduces freezing capacity.
