Installation and operation Starting the appliance 1. Close the device lid. 2. Plug the device into a suitable single socket. 3. Use the temperature control knob to select the required temperature within the range from 1 (highest temperature) to 7 (lowest temperature). The appliance will be chilled to the set temperature.
Page 19
Installation and operation • The items for freezing should be described as follows: – name of the product (eg. beef steak) – weight of the portion – quantity (number of pieces) – freezing date – use by date. • Use popular labels to describe the frozen food items. How to proceed: 1.
Page 20
Installation and operation Preparation, freezing and storage of different food products MEAT Sausages and other meat products to be frozen should be skimmed and rested beforehand. Preparation: Packages less than 10-11 cm thick are easier to arrange and store. Please be careful not to punch the freezing bags with meat bones. Otherwise the meat will dry out and lose its flavour.
Page 21
Installation and operation Storage time: It is shorter for fatty fish than for lean fish. Lean fish: 4–8 months, fatty fish: 2 months; shellfish: 2–6 months. VEGETABLES All cooked and blanched (steamed) vegetables can be frozen. Inappropriate vegetables: Endive, watercress, radish, onion. Preparation: Thoroughly wash the vegetables, cut into small pieces and blanch (steam).
Page 22
Installation and operation DAIRY PRODUCTS, EGGS Dairy and fatty products (sour cream, cream and mayonnaise) are not suitable for freezing. Eggs should not be frozen in eggshells (they will break). Separate yolk and white, mix well and freeze. To prevent the yolk or the mixture from thickening, add a pinch of salt or sugar.
Page 23
Installation and operation • Select only properly packed food products, provided with full data and store them in deep freezers in the temperature of -18°C or below. • When buying deep-frozen food products, transport them in suitable containers to avoid thawing and refreezing. As soon as possible, place such products in a deep freezer.

Cleaning and Maintenance Defrosting With normal use (3-4 lid openings per day), the freezer needs to be defrosted one to two times a year (more often in other cases). We recommend defrosting the appliance when the ice layer is 5–6 cm thick. NOTE! Never use electrical appliances such as a hair dryer, heat blower, etc., or an open flame to defrost the appliance.
Page 26
Cleaning and Maintenance 7. Once the defrosting water has drained into the collection tray, the inner compartment of the freezer should be thoroughly cleaned using warm water and a little vinegar. 8. Wipe with a cloth and clean water. 9. Finally, dry the inner chamber thoroughly with a lint-free cloth and let it air out for 3-4 minutes.
Cleaning and Maintenance 19. As soon as the set temperature inside the chest freezer or the baskets is reached, put the frozen products back in. 20. Arrange the frozen products with the shortest storage period on top. 21. Once the red indicator light goes off, set the temperature as appropriate considering the amount of stored products.
