Prepare the various foods properly and then freeze them always in the freezing compartment. For using the quick freeze function, press the quick freeze on/off switch (D) for 2-3 seconds; in the case of small and great food volumes you should do it approx. 4 and 24 hours, respectively, before you want to freeze the fresh food. The compressor will operate continuously until the product reaches the freezing temperature. Once the food is completely frozen (it may take up to 24 hours) you can manually switch off the quick freeze function by pressing the switch (D) for 2-3 seconds. If not switched off manually, the quick freeze function will be automatically switched off 48 hours later. The yellow indicator (C) will also go out. Adjusting the temperature The internal temperature of the freezer is regulated electronically through five temperature positions and a switchoff << >> setting. Position << -16 °C>> indicates the highest (least cold) temperature, while position << -24 °C>> is for the lowest (coldest) temperature. In general, it is best to set the thermostat to << -18°C >> but, for the purpose of temperature setting, you should also consider the temperature of the room where the product is installed, the frequency of door openings, the volume of food to be stored in the product, the location of the product. Therefore, you should consider all factors and you may have to do some testing to find the best temperature. If you want a lower temperature, turn the thermostat into a position of higher number or, vice versa, if you need a 7 Freezing and storage of frozen foods As freezing with "No-Frost" technology is quicker, the foods frozen this way will preserve their original form, nutritional value and taste even after thawing. For the perfect operation of the appliance, make sure that the frozen foods will not touch the ventilator cover or the ventilator mounted in the rear of the product. For the best results it is recommended to distribute the frozen foods evenly in the boxes. If you make small portions of the foods, the freezing process will take less time and subsequent thawing will be possible in small portions also. In order to avoid freezing burns, do not touch ice-creams immediately after they have been taken out from the freezer. It is recommended to state the freezing date on the package so that later you can check the storage duration. The time of transportation from the seller to the consumer must be as short as possible. Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer can cause a low temperature skin burn. Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns. In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and the freezer is full. Should the food begin to thaw it must be consumed quickly and must not be refrozen.
