Instructions for Use

Freezing Fresh Foods

Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct

temperature and taking into account hygienic precautions will

substantially influence the quality of freezing the food or storing

of the frozen foodstuffs.

• Carefully select food you intend to freeze; it should be of

adequate quality and suitable for freezing.

• Use correct packaging and wrap it right.

− The packaging should be air tight and shouldn't leak

since this could cause substantial vitamin loss and

dehydration of foods.

− Foils and bags should be soft enough to tightly wrap

around the foods.

• Mark packages with following data: kind and amount of

foods and the date of loading.

• It is most important that the food is frozen as quickly as

possible. Therefore we recommend the size of the package

not to be too large and to be cooled before loading into the

freezer.

• The amount of fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer

within 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate (freezing

capacity). If the loaded amount is too large, the quality of

freezing is reduced which affects the quality of frozen foods.

Freezing Procedure

• If you have a model without the integrated switch for

intensive cooling, turn the thermostat knob to position 5-7

some 24 hours before loading. After 24 hours load the

freezer shelf with fresh food packages. Some 24 hours after

loading, turn the thermostat knob to operating position if

necessary (see "Temperature selection"), and then reload

the frozen packages into the storage baskets.

If you have a model with integrated switch for intensive

cooling, switch it on some 24 hours before loading the

appliance with larger amounts of fresh foods and turn the

thermostat knob to position 5-7. After 24 hours load the

appliance with fresh food packages. After loading, wait for

another 24 hours and switch off the switch and turn the

thermostat knob to required position (see "Temperature

selection"). The switch is ON when the marking

(I) or

colour marking is visible, and OFF when the marking

(0)

is visible or colour marking is not visible (depending on

model). If a condense appears on the ceiling of the

refrigerator, turn-on the switch located inside the refrigerator

(with models having such a switch). After the condense has

vanished, turn the switch on again.

• The next time you want to freeze fresh foods, repeat the

freezing procedure and be careful that packages with fresh

foods do not touch frozen packages.

• For freezing smaller amount of foods (up to 1 kg) there is no

need to change the thermostat setting (see Temperature

Selection).

Storing Frozen Foods

Packages of frozen foods are stored in the basket. If you

remove the baskets, you can store frozen packages directly on

the cooling shelves.

Foods

The storage time and the recommended temperature for

storing commercially frozen foods are indicated on the

packaging. For storing and using consider the manufacturer's

instruction. When shopping, be careful and choose only

adequately packed foods provided with complete data and

stored in freezers where the temperature is not higher than -

18°C. Do not buy packages of food covered with frost layer.

This indicates that the package was thawed before at least

once. Be careful that packages don't start to thaw, as the

temperature raise reduces the quality of foods.Approximate .

Defrosting Frozen Food

Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as

possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy

microorganisms which rapidly activate after defrosting and

make foods perishable. Partial defrosting reduces the

nutritional value of foods, especially of fruits, vegetables and

ready-made meals.

Ice Making

(certain models only)

Recommended thermostat position for ice making is on the

middle setting. Fill two thirds of the ice tray with cold water or

any other liquid convenient for freezing. Insert the ice tray into

the guides or on the cooling plate. Time required for the ice to

form, largely depends on ambient temperature, thermostat

setting and on how often you open the door. It usually takes 2-
