Please make fine adjustment according to the conditions of actual use.
When the temperature control knob is set at the fast freezer, the compressor will continuously work without
stop, and the food can be quickly frozen.
Caution: Do not keep the temperature control knob stay at the fast freezer after the food has been frozen.
Basically, the temperature will change depending on the ambient temperature,frequency of lid opening and the
amount of food in the appliance.
During initial operation, turn the temperature control to the highest setting first, until the appliance has
reached the desired operating temperature. Afterwards it is recommended to turn the control back to a
medium setting; correcting the temperature at a later point would then be easier.
Note:
In generally a medium power level works best for an optimized food storage. A high power level also increases
the energy consumption.
If you need to change freezing or soft freezing status to refrigerating mode, you should take the following
steps:
Set the temperature control knob to the refrigeration mode.
Remove all of the frozen food from the freezing compartment.
Keep the compartment empty for one hour, and finally put the required food into it.
Storing food
Note: Recommendation!
To guarantee that the temperature is low enough, you should pre-cool the appliance a few times before initial
loading foods.
Caution:
Always pay attention to the storage instructions on the sales packaging.
To avoid contamination of food, respect the following instructions:
Opening the lid for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments
of the appliance.
Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems (see
“Cleaning and Maintenance”).
Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the appliance, so that it is not in contact with or drip
onto other food.
If the appliance is out of use for long period, follow the instructions under "Switching off".
Storage space
If necessary, the freezing basket can be removed to optimize the storage space.
Freezing
Fresh food should be frozen as fast as possible to the core. During freezing operation, the temperature
of fresh food should be lowered as fast as possible to keep formation of ice crystals as little as possible
and not to damage the food structure.
If possible, keep a space between the individual items, so that the cold air can circulate.
Never exceed this maximum capacity. Do not freeze a too large quantity at any one time.
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
The following foods are suitable for freezing: Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry,
vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese and butter, ready meals and
