When the fast freeze switch is turned off, the thermostat assumes control of the tempe-
rature. The fast freeze switch is used for freezing fresh foods.
Red lamp
The red lamp lights when the temperature in the freezer is more than 3°C above the
temperature for which the thermostat is set.
Green lamp
Remains on as long as there is power to the freezer.
Before you use the freezer
Before use, the interior of the freezer should be cleaned with tepid water.
Temperature control
The temperature regulation can be turned using a coin or similar (fig. 4).
The correct setting depends on the temperature in the room where the freezer is placed.
During the first weeks you should check the temperature frequently until it is stable at
18°C (recommended storage temperature for food).
Operation of the freezer
The freezer is now ready for use and can be switched on. Wait 5-6 hours before placing
goods in the freezer. Hereafter the frozen goods can be placed in the freezer. See para-
grapf »Quick freezing instructions«
NB: The freezer should not be filled above the load line near the top at the back of the
food container. This line is the load limit line. All de luxe models are fitted with a lock in the
handle.
Warning
Sealed containers with carbon dioxide may not be placed in the freezer as they can
explode. Ice creams should not be eaten immediately after removal from the freezer
as the lips may be injured.
Note! At times the lid can be difficult to open if it has been opened shortly before. The
explanation is that hot air enters the box when the lid is opened. The air will then condence
when cooled and create negative pressure in the box. After some time this negative pres-
sure will be equalised and the lid is again easy to open. If you should need to open the lid
before the negative pressure is equalised, the gasket along the lid may be loosened care-
fully from the frame with the use of a thin blunt object.
Freezing
Switch on the fast freeze switch. After 24 hours the freezer is ready for freezing foods.
Place the fresh goods in the freezer so that they have good contact with the walls and do
not touch already frozen goods. Freezing is complete after 24 hours. Turn off the fast
freeze switch and then set the thermostat button so that the temperature in the freezer is
maintained at -18°C.
Never freeze larger lots at one time than stated in the enclosed information sheet.
Defrosting
As times goes on frost will build up in certain areas, i.e. on the sides just below the lid. This
frost should be scraped away periodically using a wooden or plastic scraper or a stiff bristle
brush. Never use a metal or sharp instrument. If possible, move existing foods to one
side of the cabinet - scrape off frost and then move foods back in order to gain access to
the other side.
Complete defrosting will in the course of time become necessary. This should be carried
out if the frost built up, cannot all be scraped away, or if it begins to interfere with the
foods storage. Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low, and proceed as
follows.
