5Using your freezer
Setting the operating
temperature
The operating temperature is regulated
by the temperature control.
Warm Cold
Please choose the setting according
to the desired temperature.
The interior temperature also depends
on ambient temperature, the frequency
with which the door is opened and the
amount of foods kept inside.
Frequently opening the door causes
the interior temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended
to close the door again as soon as
possible after use.
The normal storage temperature of
your appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F).
Lower temperatures can be obtained
by adjusting the thermostat knob
towards Position 4 (or Max.).
We recommend checking the
temperature with a thermometer to
ensure that the storage compartments
are kept to the desired temperature.
Remember to take the reading
immediately since the thermometer
temperature will rise very rapidly after
you remove it from the freezer.
Freezing
Freezing food
The freezing compartment is marked
with this symbol.
You can use the appliance for freezing
fresh food as well as for storing pre-
frozen food.
Please refer to the recommendations
given on the packaging of your food.
AAttention
Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the bottle
may burst when the liquid in it is frozen.
Be careful with frozen products such
as coloured ice-cubes.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity
of your appliance in 24 hours. See the
rating label.
In order to maintain the quality of the
food, the freezing must be effected as
rapidly as possible.
Thus, the freezing capacity will not be
exceeded, and the temperature inside
the freezer will not rise.
AAttention
Keep the already deep-frozen food
always separated with freshly placed
food.
When deep-freezing hot food, the
cooling compressor will work until the
food is completely frozen. This can
temporarily cause excessive cooling of
the refrigeration compartment.

EN
18
If you find the freezer door difficult
to open just after you have closed it,
don’t worry. This is due to the pressure
difference which will equalize and allow
the door to open normally after a few
minutes.
You will hear a vacuum sound just after
closing the door. This is quite normal.
• Frozenfoodcanbestoredupto3
months in general in temperatures
under -18°C. Storage periods may
vary depending on the type of the
food. Storage periods of expiry dates
of such food are indicated on the
food package by their manufacturers.
• Frozenfoodthatyouhavepurchased
should be placed in the freezer before
they thaw.
• Frozenfoodmaybekeptinthe
compartments with drawers.
To ensure that the high quality achieved
by the frozen food manufacturer and the
food retailer is maintained the following
should be remembered:
1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly
as possible after purchase.
2. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best
Before" dates on the packaging.
3. Please note that drawers, baskets,
flaps, trays are all removable.
Defrost
Increase in the thickness of the ice that
forms on the evaporator of your freezer
will decrease the cooling efficiency of it.
Therefore, you must defrost the ice
when the thickness of the ice layer
around the evaporator reaches to
approximately 5 mm. It is recommended
to defrost the ice when the freezer is
not filled too much or is empty.
Wrap the food in the freezer by a few
sheets of paper and keep them in the
coolest place possible or in another
freezer.
Turn the thermostat setting button to
“off” or unplug the power cable in order
to perform the defrosting.
Remove the drawers of your freezer
(it is not required to remove the lid of
the compartment equipped with a lid).
After some time, the water that melts
will accumulate in the pool located at
the bottom of your freezer.
Remove the accumulating water by
means of a soft sponge or etc. and dry
the pool thoroughly.
Do not forget to turn the thermostat
setting button to a position other than
the “off” in order to restart your freezer.
Operate your freezer for 2 hours while
it is empty and its doors are closed
before replacing your food into it.
