How to use the freezer

Freezing

The appliance can be used to freeze fresh food of quantity
specified on the data label. Freezing different products
should always be done after proper preparing as follows.
Push the fast freezing button 4 hours before placing fresh
food in smaller quantity or 24 hours before placing fresh
food in bigger quantity into the appliance. Now the freezer
compressor runs continually to reach the temperature
needed for freezing.
At the beginning on the display of the thermometer
alternately shows the SU text, the AL text and the
temperature. Later the SU text and the temperature vary.
Put the previously frozen food - or some of it - to another
basket or baskets. Put the fresh food into the upper basket,
leaving enough space for airflow. If there is some previously
frozen food left in the upper basket, put this food into one
side of the basket avoiding the contact between the fresh
food and the already frozen food.
Run the appliance this way for 24 hours.
Push the fast freeze button again and the appliance will
operate in automatic mode. The display of the thermometer
shows the temperature again.
Should you want to freeze the quantity declared by the
producer, remove the upper basket from the appliance and
put the fresh food uniformly distributed directly on the
cooling surface.
Never freeze food in bigger quantity than given
in the 'Technical data' at the same 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.
The freezing tray is suitable for freezing smaller fruits
(raspberry, strawberry, currant, etc.). Fruits should
be put in the tray in thin layers without packaging. After
freezing they can be packed and sorted out then placed
into the storing compartments.

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.
