Operation and use

Installation

Insert the plug into the socket. In order to switch on the
product, turn the thermostat (B) to a temperature lower
than << 1 >>. The green indicator will light up and the red
indicator will blink. The lighting up of the on/off indicator
(A) means that the product is switched on. The blinking of
the red indicator means an improper temperature in the
freezing compartment. In addition, an intermittent sound
can be heard, which can be stopped by pressing button (D)
once. You can switch off the freezer by turning the
thermostat (B) in position <<

Adjusting the temperature

The internal temperature of the freezer is regulated
electronically through five temperature positions and a
switch-off << >> setting.
Position << 1 >> indicates the highest (least cold)
temperature, while position << 6 >> is for the lowest
(coldest) temperature. Rotate the thermostat in the desired
position.

In general, it is best to set the thermostat to

<< 2-3 >> but, for the purpose of temperature setting, you
should also consider
the temperature of the room where the product is
installed,
the frequency of door openings,
the volume of food to be stored in the product,
the location of the product.

>>.
Therefore, you should consider all these factors and you
may have to do some testing for finding the best
temperature. If you want a lower temperature, turn the
thermostat into a position of higher number or, vice versa,
if you need a higher temperature, you should set a position
of lower number. Please allow 24 hours for the freezer
temperature to stabilize between two adjustments.
Alarm (red) indicator
The temperature alarm indicator (E) will light up when the
internal temperature of the freezer increases to a level
(above -12°C) where the long-term conservation of the
foods in not ensured. Please note that, when switching on
the freezer for the first time, the alarm indicator will blink
until the internal temperature has reached a level required
for the safe conservation of frozen food.
Temperature problem:
Under normal operating conditions, the internal
temperature of the freezer will ensure the long-term
conservation of the stored food. When such temperature
rises above a certain level (-12°C), it will trigger an acoustic
and light alarm. The light alarm is a blink red light (E),
while the acoustic alarm is an intermittent sound. You can
stop the acoustic alarm by pressing switch (D) once.

Freezing

Freezing different products should always be done in the
freezing compartment after proper preparation.
Move frozen food from the top drawer into the other two
drawers. For maximum freezing performance remove the
top drawer and then place the foods to be frozen directly
on the evaporator. In case of freezing smaller food volumes
you do not need to remove the drawer.
For using the quick freeze function, press the quick freeze
on/off switch (D) for 2-3 seconds; in the case of small and
great food volumes you should do it approx. 4 and 24
hours, respectively, before you want to freeze the fresh
food. The yellow indicator (C) will light up. The compressor
will operate continuously until the product reaches the
freezing temperature.
Once the food is completely frozen (it may take up to 24
hours) you can manually switch off the quick freeze
function by pressing the switch (D) for 2-3 seconds. If not
switched off manually, the quick freeze function will be
automatically switched off 48 hours later. The yellow
indicator (C) will also go out.
Move the fresh frozen food into the top drawer and insert
the drawer in the appliance in its working position.

Storing

It is practical to replace frozen products into the storing
compartments after freezing has finished so that to make
room in the freezing compartment for another freezing.
In large quantities of food are to be stored, remove the
baskets except the lowermost one from appliance and
place food on the shelves.
Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods already
stored.
