First Use; Daily Use - IKEA GENOMFRYSA Manuel D'utilisation

ENGLISH
First Use
Connect the appliance to the mains
power supply. The ideal temperatures for
preserving food have already been set at
the factory (2-3/MED).
Daily use
Operation of the freezer
The freezer can be used for storing already
frozen food and for freezing fresh food.
The amount of fresh food (in kg) that can
be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the
appliance data plate. The freezer can
operate at ambient temperatures between
+10°C and +32°C. Optimal performance is
obtained at temperatures between +16°C
and +32°C.
Switching on the freezer for the first time
• There is no need to set the freezer
temperature on the thermostat because
the appliance is already factory set.
• Plug in the appliance. The green LED
(indicating that the appliance is ON)
and the red LED will light up, and on
some models also the acoustic alarm
(if provided) will sound after about
1 minute, indicating that the freezer
has not yet reached a sufficiently cold
temperature for storage of foodstuffs.
• To mute the acoustic alarm press the
door switch.
Adjusting the thermostat
Select the freezer compartment temperature
using the thermostat knob:
1 = Minimum freezing power
4 = Maximum freezing power
Ambient air temperature, the frequency of
door opening and the amount of food to
freeze can affect the freezer temperature
adjustments.
We therefore recommend starting with a
medium temperature setting 2 - 3.
Note: After switching the appliance on,
it will be necessary to wait for 2 to 3
hours before a temperature suitable for a
standard appliance load is reached.
Function of LEDs
The green LED indicates whether the
appliance is ON.
The red LED indicates that the internal
temperature of the appliance is not suitable
for storing food.
Door alarm
If the door will be left open for more then
1 minute the alarm ring. Close the door or
press for few seconds the botton C.
Freeze operation
The recommended amount of food to be
frozen is indicated on the data plate on the
inside of the appliance. When putting food
in to freeze, the red LED may light up until
the ideal temperature is reached.
Tips for freezing and storing fresh food
• Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh
food in: aluminium foil, plastic wrap,
cling film, polyethylene containers with
lids, and other containers provided they
are suitable for freezing foods.
• Foodstuffs (except meat, see below)
must be fresh, mature and of prime
quality in order to obtain high quality
frozen food.
• Fresh vegetables and fruit should
preferably be frozen as soon as they
are picked to maintain the full original
nutritional value, consistency, colour and
flavour.
Some meat, especially game, should be
hung before it is frozen.
