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
basket(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.
In large quantities of food are to be stored, remove the
baskets except the lowermost one from appliance and
place food on the cooling surface.
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
maximum 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
recommended, 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.
Wetting the bottom of the tray and 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
running 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
compartment considerably. Rearranging the
shelves is 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 temperature. 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
thermostatic control so that the inside temperature
can never go above -18 °C, since temperature
higher than this can deteriorate frozen foods.

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.
