Freezing and storage of frozen food

The freezing procedure

♦Freeze your food in the freezingcompartment. Activate theSUPERFROST function by pressing the

button (8) for continuous operation24 hours prior intended freezing. Afterthis period insert fresh food in thefreezing compartment.

♦ After 24 hours you may relocate thefood to the storage compartment, and

repeat the freezing procedure ifrequired.

♦ Do not let the already frozen packagestouch the fresh ones.

Important cautions in freezing

fresh food

Freeze only such food which issuitable for freezing and sustain lowtemperatures. Food should be ofadequate quality and fresh.

Select adequate packaging for eachkind of food and pack it correctly.

− The packaging should be air tight andwell sealed without leaking since thiscould cause substantial vitamin lossand dehydration.

Mark packages with following data:kind and amount of foods and the date ofloading.

It is most important that the food isfrozen as quickly as possible. Wetherefore recommend the size of thepackage not to be too large and to becooled before loading into the freezer.

The amount of the fresh foods that canbe loaded in the freezer as a single load is

stated on the rating plate. If the loadedamount is too large, the quality of freezingis reduced which affects the quality offrozen foods.

Storing commercially frozen

food

The storage time and recommendedtemperature for storing commerciallyfrozen foods is indicated on thepackaging. Always follow manufacturer's

instructions for storage and use of frozenfood. When shopping be careful tochoose only food which is adequatelypacked and provided with complete dataand stored in freezers where thetemperature is not higher than -18°C.Do not buy packages of food wrappedwith frost. This indicates that the packagewas thawed before at least once. Takecare that packages don't start to thaw.Temperature rise shortens the storagetime of commercially frozen foods.

Approximate Storage Time of

Frozen Foods

• Fruit, beef 10 to 12 months

• Vegetables, veal, poultry

8 to 10 months

• Venison 6 to 8 months

• Pork 4 to 6 months• Minced meat 4 months

• Bread, pastry, ready dishes fat

free fish

3 months

• Intestines 2 months

• Smokedsausages,fat fish 1 month


11/18


Defrosting of Frozen Food

Partially thawed or defrosted foods shouldbe used as soon as possible. Cold airpreserves the food but it does not destroymicroorganisms which rapidly activatethemselves after defrosting and makefoods perishable.Partial defrosting reduces the nutritionalvalue of foods, especially of fruits,vegetables and readymade meals.


12/18


Defrosting the appliance

Automatic defrosting of the

refrigerator

There is no need to defrost therefrigerator, because ice deposited at theinner back wall is defrosted automatically.Ice deposited on the inner back wallduring the compressor operation isdefrosted when the compressor stopsoperating, and condensed water drops aredrained through the outlet in the innerback wall into the drain pan situated

above the compressor where itevaporates. In case of excessive icedeposits at the inner rear wall of therefrigerator (3-5 mm), switch the appliance

off by pressing the button (A2) for 3seconds and defrost it manually.

Freezer Defrosting

♦ Clean the freezer when the frost layer in

the freezer reaches thickness of 3-5mm.

♦ 24 hours before defrosting set the

SUPERFROST switch (8) tocontinuous operation. The yellow lightis on. After that empty the freezer andtake care that the packages remainfrozen.

♦ Switch the appliance off by pressing thebutton (B2) for 3 seconds.

♦ Insert the enclosed pipe into the groovein the bottom of the appliance and placea vessel underneath to collect thedefrost water.

♦ Do not thaw the appliance with electricappliances (hair dryer, etc...).

♦ Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they

may cause damage to the plastic partsand may be hazardous to health.

♦ Clean the interior of the appliance andwipe it dry (see Cleaning of theappliance).

♦ Before reloading of food into the freezer

press the button (B2) to switch theappliance on. Previously settemperatures are preserved.


13/18


Cleaning the appliance

Switch the appliance off by pressing

both buttons (A2 and B2) for

refrigerator and freezer operation.Be careful to remove any cleanser agentremaining after cleaning.

♦ Clean the exterior of the appliance withwater and liquid detergent.

♦ Do not use abrasive or aggressiveagents for cleaning of plastic andcoated surfaces as you can damagethem.

♦ Coated surfaces are cleaned with softcloth and an alcohol based cleaningagent (for example glass cleaners). Youmay also use alcohol (ethanol orisopropyl alcohol).

♦ The application of abrasive andspecially aggressive cleaners, such asthe stainless steel cleaners, is notappropriate for the cleaning of plastic

and coated parts.

♦ Wash the interior of the appliance withlukewarm water, mixed with littlevinegar.

♦ Groove and drain outlet located belowthe cooling panel at the rear wall mustnot be clogged (with food particles, forexample), so do not forget to inspectthem and clean if necessary (use plastic

straw to free the outlet hole).

♦ The condenser on the rear wall mustalways be clean and free of dust orkitchen fumes deposits, therefore cleanthe dust periodically with non-metallicbrush or vacuum cleaner.

♦ Clean also the drip pan above thecompressor (do not remove the pan).

♦ After cleaning switch the appliance onand reload the food.

♦ Ice and(or frost deposits exceeding 3-5mm increase energy consumption, so

remove them regularly. Do not usesharp pointed objects, solvents orsprays.

15/18


Fault Cause / remedy

Difficult opening of the door• If you want to open the immediately closed

door of the freezer you may experienceresistance. This happens because certainquantity of cold air escapes from the appliancethrough the open door and is replaced bywarm ambient air. Cooling of such air createsnegative pressure (vacuum) which preventseasy opening of the door. Situation isnormalized after a few minutes, and you canopen the door with ease.

Bulb replacement

• Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the

appliance form the power supply. Press thecover at the rear side with your fingers (in thearrow 1 direction) to detach it from its position.Remove the plastic cover (in the arrow 2direction). Replace the bulb with a new one –halogenous or standard (E 14, max. 25 W -Osram Halolux, Philips H.E.) and fit back thecover.

• Don't forget: the old bulb does not belong to

organic waste. • Light bulb is consumption material and is not

covered with the warranty.

Digital temperature displayflashes

• This is normal when setting the refrigerator orfreezer temperature.

• In case of power failure.

• When the temperature is outside normal limits.

•When the letter E appears on the display, callthe service center.

Troubleshooting helpful hints • If none of the above proves effective and youcan not remove the fault by yourself, call thenearest service center and tell them theinformation from the rating plate: type ofappliance, model and serial number, locatedinside or at the rear of the appliance.
