How to use the freezer

Freezing

Freezing different products should always be done in the
freezing compartment after proper preparing.
The quantity of food to be frozen should be 4 or 6 kg
depending on type.The quantity can be read on the data
label, which is on the left at the bottom of the fresh food
compartment.
Set the thermostat knob to „Max." position.
Operate the appliance in this position for 2 hours.
After 2 hours reset the thermostatic knob to a position
adequate for you or „Medium" position. Put the quantity
to be frozen into the freezing compartment (max. 4 or 6
kg).
After 24 hours replace the frozen products into the wire
basket (or baskets).
Never freeze food in bigger quantity than
given in the „Technical data" at the same
time, otherwise freezing will not be thorough
and after dissolving various deterioration may take
place (losing taste and aroma, lysing, etc.).
Do not make ice during freezing preferably,
because making ice reduces freezing capacity.

Storing in the freezer

It is practical to replace frozen products into the wire bas-
ket(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.
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 maxi-
mum storing 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 rec-
ommended, 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
46
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 ther-
mostatic control so that the inside temperature can
never go above -18 °C, since temperature higher than
this storing time of frozen foods can decrease.
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.

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 appli-
ance as well.

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.
The appliance and environ-
ment
This appliance does not contain gasses which could
damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant circuit or
insulation materials. The appliance shall not be discarded
together with the urban refuse and rubbish. Avoid damag-
ing the cooling unit, especially at the rear near the heat
exchanger. Information on your local disposal sites may
be obtained from your municipal authorities.
The materials used on this appliance marked with the
sympol are recyclable.

Maintenance

Defrosting

Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chambers in form of
frost and ice goes with the operation of the appliance.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces cool-
ing efficiency as the temperature increases in the cooling
chambers, they need more energy, at a certain thickness it
does not allow the door of the freezing compartment to open.
At this type of appliance defrosting the cooling plate of the
refrigerator is automatic without any external intervention.The
thermostatic control interrupts the operation of compressor at
