The control panel (Fig. 5) 4 1 3 2 ABC D E Fig. 5 A. Temperature alarm light B. Quick-freezing indicator light C. N/S knob D. Function indicator light E. Thermostat knob Starting Insert the power supply plug into the nearest wall socket (the function indicator light (D) will light up indicating that the freezer is receiving electrical input). Turn the thermostat knob (E) to the right to a medium setting (the temperature alarm light (A) will light up). For the satisfactory conservation of frozen foods, the freezer’s internal temperature must be lower than –18° C. Wait until the temperature alarm light (A) turns off when the optimum temperature has been reached. Thermostat settings may be modified according to the surrounding room temperature, the location of the freezer and the frequency of door openings, etc. To turn off the freezer, turn the thermostat knob to the «O» position. Quick-freezing For quick-freezing, turn the N/S knob (C) to the «S» symbol. The quick-freezing indicator light (B) will then light up. The temperature alarm light (A) The temperature alarm light turns on automatically whenever the temperature within the freezer rises above a certain value which might endanger satisfactory long-term conservation. It is perfectly normal for the temperature alarm light to remain lit up for a short time after the freezer is initially turned on. It will remain lit up until the optimum temperature for the conservation of frozen food is attained. Internal thermometer This indicates the internal temperature of the freezer. It may indicate a temperature above –18° C when large quantities of food are placed inside for freezing or when the door is left open for a long time. Blue: normal Red: alarm Fig. 6 -180 +10 °C D008 Freezing food Set the freezer to quick-freezing operational status. Wait at least 3 hours before introducing fresh foods into the freezer if it has only recently been turned on. If the freezer has already been working for some time, turn the respective knob to the «S» position at least 24 hours before introducing the food into the freezer in order to ensure better freezing results. This period of time may be shortened according to the quantity of food. When quick-freezing is being performed, the compressor works continuously, employing all of its refrigerating power to the maximum. Keep the knob as it is for another 24 hours after the introduction of the food into the freezer and then return the knob to the «N» position. Bear in mind the freezing capacity of your freezer; that is, the maximum quantity of food that may be frozen in 24 hours. This freezing capacity is 22 kg. Distribute the packages as shown in Figure 7. Arrange the foods to be frozen in the upper compartments. When the necessary freezing time has elapsed, distribute the newly-frozen foods into the drawers to free the compartments for new foods to be frozen. Fig. 7 A B C 11 Kg 11 Kg D309 Rules to observe when freezing foods All products to be frozen must be fresh and of excellent quality. Each freezing package must be adjusted to the family’s consumption quantity in order to be used just once. Small-sized freezing packages allow a more rapid and uniform freezing. Do not forget that once frozen foods have thawed out, they spoil rapidly. Low-fat content foods are better conserved in the freezer than those with higher fat content. Salt (whenever present) reduces the duration of satisfactory conservation. Foods to be frozen must be enclosed in air-tight sacks or containers especially indicated for this purpose. Close these sacks or containers tightly to eliminate all air. Never place bottles or cans of carbonated beverages in the freezer. These might explode. Never introduce hot foods or liquids. Never fill the freezing sacks or containers with covers to the brim. Do not consume certain products (popsicles, etc.) immediately after removing them from the freezer, because their extremely low temperature might cause burns. Indicate the freezing date on every sack or container as a means of controlling conservation times. Never open the freezer door or introduce new foods to be frozen whenever a Quick-freezing phase is already in progress. A special card is located in the holder on the inner door of the freezer compartment. On the upper part it shows pictures of different types of food followed by a figure. These figures indicate the maximum storage time, in months, for each type of food. Details of food being stored, can also be written in pencil on the lower part of the card. Important When electrical current happens to be cut off, the freezer door must not be opened. If the power failure is short (up to 6-8 hours) and the freezer is full, there is no risk that the food will spoil. If the power failure lasts longer, the food must be consumed as rapidly as possible, or otherwise cooked and re-frozen again. Frozen food storage When the freezer is being turned on for the first time, or after a prolonged period of disuse, turn the N/S knob...
