Control panel
OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS
Do not put food into the fridge freezer before it has reached its operating tem-
perature,
1. Thermostat dial
The thermostat automatically keeps the internal temperature at a constant level. The tempe-
rature is regulated by the thermostat dial, located on the freezer control panel. To change the
temperature, turn the dial anti-clockwise from 1 (highest temperature) to 5 (coldest temperatu-
re). We recommend that you start with the appliance set to position 3.
2. Super freeze switch
This freezer is equipped with a super freeze function. This allows the freezer compressor to
run continuously and so freezes food more quickly. To select this function, push the switch
across until the super freeze indicator light (5) illuminates. To switch the function off, then push
the switch back across until the indicator light goes out again.
Note that this should not be used for more than 24 hours.
3. Power indicator light
This green light will illuminate when the freezer is switched on.
4. Over temperature indicator light
This red light will illuminate when the temperature inside the freezer is too high. This may
illuminate after the door has been opened, or when fresh food is added and should switch off
again once the temperature within the freezer has stabilised.
5. Super freeze indicator light
This yellow light will illuminate when the super freeze function has been switched on with the
super freeze switch (2).

OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS
Storage of food in the freezer
Observe the following recommen-
dations to ensure the food remains
fresh.
Freezing food
lPractically all the food products, except for
vegetables consumed raw, such as lettuce
can be frozen.
l Only food products of the highest quality,
divided into small portions for single use,
should be frozen.
l Products should be packed in materials that
are odourless, resistant to air and moisture
penetration, and not susceptible to fat.
Plastic bags, polyethylene and aluminium
sheets are the best wrapping materials.
l The packaging should be tight and should
stick to the frozen products. Do not use
glass containers.
l Keep the fresh and warm foodstuff at am-
bient temperature away from the products,
which have already been frozen.
l We advise not to place more than 2 kg of
fresh food at a time to the freezer per day
(see table on page 59).
lIn order to maintain good quality of the
frozen food, reorganise the food that is in
the middle of the freezer, so that it does not
touch the products that are not frozen yet.
l It is recommended to move the already
frozen products to one side and place the
fresh products that are to be frozen to the
opposite side, as close to the rear and side
walls as possible.

10
OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS
The time of storage of the frozen products depends on their quality when fresh, before freezing
and on the storage temperature.
The following storage periods are recommended when the temperature of -18°C or lower is
maintained:
Products Months
Beef 6-8
Veal 3-6
Giblets 1-2
Pork 3-6
Poultry 6-8
Eggs 3-6
Fish 3-6
Vegetables 10-12
Fruit 10-12

USING THE REFRIGERATOR EFFICIENTLY
Practical everyday tips
lDo not place fridges or freezers next to
radiators, heaters, stoves or in direct sun-
light.
l Make sure that air vents are not covered up
and clean the dust off them once or twice
a year.
l Select the right temperature: 6 to 8°C
in your refrigerator and -18°C in your
freezer is sufcient.
l When on holiday, turn up the temperature
in your fridge.
l Only open your fridge or freezer when
necessary. It helps if you know what food
they contain and where it is located. Return
food to the fridge or freezer as soon as
possible after you have used it so that it
doesn't warm up too much.
l Wipe out the inside of your fridge regularly
with a cloth soaked in a mild detergent.
Appliances which are not self-defrosting
will require regular defrosting. Don't allow
frost layers thicker than 10 mm to form.
l Keep the seal around the door clean,
otherwise it won't shut properly. Always
replace broken seals.
Understanding the stars
*Temperature is at least -6°C; sufcient
to store frozen food for about a week.
Drawers or compartments marked with
one star used to be a feature of (mostly)
cheaper fridges.
** Food can be stored at -12°C or below for
1-2 weeks without losing their taste. Not
suitable for freezing food.
*** Mainly used to store foods at -18°C or
below. Can also be used to freeze up to
1 kilogram of fresh food.
****This appliance is suitable for storing foods
at -18°C or below and freezing larger
quantities of fresh foods.

DEFROSTING, WASHING AND MAINTENANCE
You must not put an electric heater,
a heating fan or a hair dryer into the
freezer by any means.
Defrosting the freezer
lIt is recommended to combine defrosting
the appliance with washing it.
l Excessive accumulation of ice on the
freezing areas impairs the appliance’s
freezing capacity and increases the energy
consumption.
l Defrost the appliance at least once or twice
a year.
l If there is food in the freezer, set the knob
to the max. position about 4 hours before
the planned defrosting. This will ensure the
possibility of storing the food at the ambient
temperature for a longer time.
l After taking the food out of the freezer, put
it in a container, wrap it with several layers
of paper, a blanket and store it at a cool
place.
lThe defrosting operation should last as
short as possible. Long storage of food
at the ambient temperature shortens their
shelf life. 11
In order to defrost the freezer chamber,
you must take the following steps:
l Take out the plug from the mains socket.
lOpen the door and remove the food from
the freezer.
l After about 0.5 hours. easily from the smo-
oth surface of the walls to remove the layer
of frost and water (Fig. 11).
l Wash and dry the interior of the freezer.
l Switch on the freezer as described in the re-
levant section of its operating instructions.

Certain sounds can be heard during normal use of the refrigerator, which do not affect its
correct operation.
Sounds, which can be easily prevented:
lnoise caused by the appliance which is not level - adjust the position with the adjustable turn-
in front feet. Alternatively, place pads made of soft material under the rear rollers, especially
when the appliance is placed on tiles.
ltouching the adjacent piece of furniture - move the refrigerator away.
lcreaking of the drawers or shelves - take out and put back the drawer or shelf.
lsounds of clinking bottles - move bottles apart.
Sounds heard during normal use are mainly due to operation of the thermostat, compressor
(switching on) and cooling system (thermal expansion and contraction of the radiator caused
by ow of the cooling agent).
