CHAPTER -3: USING YOUR FREEZER
Warnings for temperature settings
• Your temperature adjustments will not be deleted when an energy breakdown occur.
• Do not pass to another adjustment before completing an adjustment.
• The ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened, affects the
temperature in the freezer. If required,change the temperature setting.
• It is not recommended that you operate your freezer in environments colder than 10°C .
• The temperature setting should be set by taking into consideration how often the freezer door is opened and
closed, how much food is stored in the freezer and the environment in which and the positioning of the appliance.
• We recommend that when first using the freezer it should be left running for 24 hours uninterrupted to ensure
it is completely cooled. Do not open the freezer door, or put food inside for this period.
• Your freezer has a 5 minute built in delay function,
designed to prevent damage to the compressor. When
power is applied to your freezer, it will begin to operate
normally after 5 minutes.
• Your freezer is designed to operate in the ambient
temperature intervals stated in the standards, according
to the climate class stated in the information label. It is
not recommended that your freezer is operated in the
environments which are out of the stated temperature
intervals in terms of cooling efficiency.
Cleaning
• Before cleaning your freezer, turn your mains supply off and remove the plug from the socket.
• Do not wash your freezer by pouring water on to it.
• Use a warm, soapy cloth or sponge to wipe the interior and exterior of your freezer.
• Carefully remove all baskets by sliding upwards or outwards and clean with soapy water. Do not wash in a
washing machine or dishwasher.
• Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or all purpose cleaning agents to clean your freezer. This
may cause damage to the plastic surfaces and other components with the chemicals they contain.
• Clean the condenser at the back of your freezer at least once a year with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.
Make sure that your freezer is unplugged while cleaning.
Defrosting
WARNING: Never use sharp metal tools, unless recommended by manufacturer, for this operation as they can damage
the freezing circuit.
After a period of time, frost will build up in certain areas in the freezer compartment. The frost, accumulated in the
freezer compartment, should be removed periodically (use the plastic scraper if available).
Complete defrosting will become necessary if the frost layer exceeds 3-5 mm to maintain the efficiency of the freezer.
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to position "5" to freeze
the foods completely. (Recommendation)
• During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper
and kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their
storage life. Remember to use these foods within a relatively short period
of time.
• Set the thermostat knob to position "•" and switch off the appliance.
• Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting.
• Dry the inside of the compartment with a sponge or a clean cloth. Never use
abrasive products or aggressive cleaning agents.
• Dry the inside of the unit, plug on the mains, and set the thermostat knob
to position "5". After 24 hours, reset the thermostat to the desired position.
(Recommendation)
CHAPTER -4: FOOD STORAGE GUIDANCE
• The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen food for long periods of time and making ice cubes.
• Do not put fresh and warm food with frozen food side by side as it can thaw the frozen food.
• While freezing fresh food (i.e. meat, fish and mincemeat) divide them in parts in order to use in one time.
• Maximum load; if you want to load large quantities and use the maximum net capacity, you can remove the
drawers (Except the bottom one).You can store bulky items directly on the shelves
• For storing the frozen food; the instructions shown on frozen food packages should always be followed carefully
and if no information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date.
• When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packing
is intact.
• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality of the food and should be
returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest possible time.
