• Activate the fast freeze function by pressing the button (C) for
continuous operation 24 hours prior intended freezing.
- control unit 1 and 2: with knob B, position SF/SC;
- control unit 3: with key C;
- mechanical regulation: knob position approximately between
4 and 6.
Upon expiry of this period insert fresh food in the freezing
compartment. Do not let the already frozen packages touch the
fresh ones.
Be sure to provide the NO FROST freezer models with enough
room below the ceiling for cool air circulation, so avoid storing
food over the marked maximum storage level (see Fig.).
• After 24 hours you may relocate the food to the storage
compartment, and repeat the freezing procedure if required.
You may also remove the drawers and store frozen food
directly on cooling shelves.
• For freezing smaller quantities of fresh food (1-2 kg), the
engagement of the fast freeze function is not required.
• Freeze only such food which is suitable for freezing and sustain
low temperatures. Food should be of adequate quality and
fresh.
• Select adequate packaging for each kind of food and pack it
correctly.
• The packaging should be air tight and well sealed without
leaking since this could cause substantial vitamin loss and
dehydration.
• Mark packages with following data: kind and amount of foods
and the date of loading.
• It is imperative that food is frozen as quickly as possible. We
therefore recommend the size of the package not to be too
large and to be cooled before loading into the freezer.
• The amount of the fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer
as a single load is declared on the rating plate. If the loaded
amount is too large, the quality of freezing is reduced which in
turn affects the quality of frozen foods.
