TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The thermostat ensures that the required
temperature is maintained in the freezer.
Adjust the temperature by turning the
control knob with a coin that fits the
groove. Turning the thermostat control
knob towards no. 7 makes the
temperature in the freezer colder, and
turning the control knob towards no. 1
makes the temperature warmer.
The correct setting can be found by
measuring the temperature of the top
package in the middle of the freezer. This
should not have a temperature warmer
than -18°C.
OPENING/CLOSING THE LID
The lid is fitted with a tightly closing sealing
strip to prevent moisture getting inside the
freezer and increasing the amount of frost
formed. When the lid is opened the air
inside the freezer becomes slightly warmer
and expands. As soon as the lid is closed
again the air is cooled immediately. This
may lead to the creation of a vacuum which
makes it hard to open the lid immediately
after it has been closed. This is quite
normal. Wait a few minutes until the
vacuum has disappeared, then open the
lid by pulling gently. Never pull the handle
violently.
FREEZING
It is important that fresh food placed in the
freezer is frozen quickly, and that the food
already in the freezer is heated as little as
possible in this connection. If more than
3-4 kg of food is to be frozen:
Turn the control knob to 7. The
freezer will now run continuously,
creating a sufficient reserve of the
temperature required.
Turn the control knob to 7 6-24 hours
before placing fresh food in the
freezer, depending on how much food
is to be frozen.
Place the food in the freezer and leave
the control knob set to 7 on for about
24 hours more.
Return the control knob to a medium
setting. The freezer will return to normal
storage temperature. If you forget to
return the control knob to a medium
setting, the freezer will not be damaged
but energy will be wasted.
PACKAGING AND POSITIONING
Food must be cold before freezing (no
warmer than room temperature).
Food must be packed in airtight and
moisture-proof packaging to prevent it
from drying out.
Place fresh food for freezing close to
the cold sides of the freezer, making
sure that it is not in contact with the
frozen food already in the freezer.
Never fill the freezer to more than
5 mm below the top edge.
