Operation and use

Installation

Insert the plug into the socket. In order to switch on
the product, turn the thermostat (B) to a temperature
lower than << 1 >>. The green, yellow and red
indicators will light up. The lighting up of the on/off
indicator (A) means that the product is switched on.
The yellow indicator lights continuously indicating an
uninterrupted refrigeration for 5 hours (it can be
switched off manually after 2 hours). The red
indicator lights continuously indicating an improper
temperature in the freezing compartment. As well as
an intermittent sound can be heard, which can be
stopped by pressing button (D) once. You can switch
off the freezer by turning the thermostat (B) in
position <<
>>.
When the product is switched on for the
first time, the quick freeze function will
start automatically and will stop only 5 hours
later. You can manually switch off this function
any time by pressing the quick freeze (D) switch.

Adjusting the temperature

The internal temperature of the freezer is regulated
electronically through five temperature positions and
a switch-off <<
>> setting.
Position << 1 >> indicates the highest (least cold)
temperature, while position << 6 >> is for the lowest
(coldest) temperature. Rotate the thermostat in the
desired position.

In general, it is best to set the thermostat to
<< -18°C >> but, for the purpose of temperature
setting, you should also consider
the temperature of the room where the product is
installed,
the frequency of door openings,
the volume of food to be stored in the product,
the location of the product.
Therefore, you should consider all these factors and
you may have to do some testing for finding the best
temperature. If you want a lower temperature, turn
the thermostat into a position of higher number or,
vice versa, if you need a higher temperature, you
should set a position of lower number. Please allow
24 hours for the freezer temperature to stabilize
between two adjustments.

Alarm (red) indicator
The temperature alarm indicator (E) will light up
yellow
when the internal temperature of the freezer
increases to a level (above -12°C) where the long-
red
term conservation of the foods in not ensured.
Please note that, when switching on the freezer for
the first time, the alarm indicator will keep on lighting
until the internal temperature has reached a level
required for the safe conservation of frozen food.
Temperature problem:
Under normal operating conditions, the internal
temperature of the freezer will ensure the long-term
conservation of the stored food. When such
temperature rises above a certain level (-12°C), it will
trigger an acoustic and light alarm. The light alarm is
a continuous red light (E), while the acoustic alarm is
an intermittent sound. You can stop the acoustic
alarm by pressing switch (D) once.

Freezing

Prepare the various foods properly and then freeze
them always in the freezing compartment. For
maximum freezing performance remove the freezer
tray and baskets and then place the foods to be
frozen directly on the evaporator. In case of freezing
smaller food volumes you do not need to remove the
freezer tray and baskets.
For using the quick freeze function, press the quick
freeze on/off switch (D) for 2-3 seconds; in the case
of small and great food volumes you should do it
approx. 4 and 24 hours, respectively, before you
want to freeze the fresh food. The yellow indicator
(C) will light up. The compressor will operate
continuously until the product reaches the freezing
temperature.
Once the food is completely frozen (it may take up to
24 hours) you can manually switch off the quick
freeze function by pressing the switch (D) for 2-3
seconds. If not switched off manually, the quick
freeze function will be automatically switched off 48
hours later. The yellow indicator (C) will also go out.
The freezing tray can be used for freezing small fruits
(raspberry, strawberry, currant, etc.). Place a thin
layer of the unpacked fruits in the tray. Once they are
frozen, the fruits can be packed, sorted and placed in
the storage boxes.
