Some useful information and
advice
After opening and closing the door of freezer vacuum
will rise inside the appliance because of the low
temperature. 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 beyond -18 °C, since temperature higher
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.
After a power failure the product will restart and the
quick freeze function will be switched on. If not
switched off manually, the quick freeze function will
be automatically switched off 5 hours later. When the
quick freeze function is switched off, the yellow
indicator (C) will go out.

Maintenance

Defrosting

Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber in form
of frost and ice goes with the operation of the appliance.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces
cooling efficiency as the temperature increases, it needs
more energy, at a certain thickness it does not allow the
door of the freezing compartment to open, possibly the
door can be broken.
It is possible to scrape off and remove smaller frost and ice
with the enclosed ice scraper.
The tray in figure is not a piece of accessories to the
appliance!
When ice coating is so thick that it can not be removed
with the frost scraper defrosting is necessary. Its frequency
depends on usage.
How to defrost it:
Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply. If the
plug is not accessible turn the temperature control knob to
"0" position.
Take the frozen foods out of the appliance and put them
into a basket lined with paper or cloth. Store them in a
possibly cool place or replace them into a frozen or fresh
food compartment of a refrigerator.
Leave the door open.
Sweep off the melting water occasionally with a cloth or
sponge in direction of sides which gathers in the outlet
channel practically formed in the bottom of the appliance
and can be removed as follows:
Put a tray high enough in front of the appliance. Insert the
plastic scraper into the defrost water outlet according to
the picture. Defrost water will flow into the tray through
the outlet.
