Freezer operation

Temperature adjustment

The temperature of the freezer is adjusted by means of the knob assembled on the thermostat (item. 4), position “MAX” being the lowest temperature. The achieved temperatures can vary according to the conditions of use of the appliance, such as: place of the appliance, ambient temperature, and frequency of door opening, extent of filling with food of the freezer. The position of the thermostat knob will change according to these factors. Normally, for an ambient temperature of approx. 250C, the thermostat will be adjusted on an average position.

The signaling system is placed on the front side of the freezer.

It includes:

1. Thermostat adjustment knob – the inside temperature is adjusted.

2. Green LED – shows that the appliance is supplied with electric energy.

3. Red LED – damage – lights if the temperature in the freezer is too high. The LED will operate 15-45 minutes after the putting into operation of the freezer, then it must go off. If the LED goes on during the operation, this means that defects have occurred.

4. Orange button– fast freeze – by pushing it the orange led goes on, showing that the appliance entered into the "fast freeze" mode . The exit of this mode is done by pushing the button again, and the orange led goes off.

The three LEDs give information about the mode of operation of the freezer.

Advice for food conservation

The freezer is intended to keep the frozen food for a long time, as well as to freeze fresh food. One of the main elements for a successful food freezing is the packing. The main conditions that the packing must fulfill are the following: to be airtight, to be inert towards the packed food, to resist to low temperatures, to be proof to liquids, grease, water vapours, smells, to be able to be washed. These conditions are fulfilled by the following types of packing: plastic or aluminum film, plastic and aluminum vessels, waxed cardboard glasses or plastic glasses.

Noises during operation

In order to keep the temperature at the value you have adjusted, the compressor of the appliance starts periodically. The noises which can be heard in such situation are normal. They are reduced as soon as the appliance reaches the operation temperature. The humming noise is made by the compressor. It can become a little stronger when the compressor starts.
