English 5 Start-up 1. Fully unpack the appliance. 2. Remove the polystyrene parts in the compressor chamber (if supplied). 3. Remove documents and any accessories from the inside of the appliance. 4. Clean the interior with lukewarm water, and dry thoroughly with a cloth. 5. Close the appliance. 6. Insert the plug in the socket 7. Switch on the appliance by turning the temperature control (FIG.4) to the right (For the time being, turn the controller fully to the right to Max position). (green and red lights go on). 8. If equipped with a SUPER FREEZE SWITCH, turn it on (yellow light goes on too). 9. Do not open the appliance any more for about 4 hours or as long as the red light is on, to allow the temperature in the inner compartment to drop to the necessary level. 10. You can now fill the appliance with any amount of deep frozen food (purchased ready frozen goods). (Consult the following chapter "Maximum stacking height"). 11. Turn off the SUPER FREEZE SWITCH again after 24 hours at the latest. 12. If you wish to freeze fresh, unfrozen food, go on to the following section " Freezing/storage of fresh food". Important! When storing ready frozen food, you must observe the manufacturer's instructions on the food packaging. 6 Freezing/storage of fresh food Useful tip for food storage Storing food in the freezer Hot food should be cooled down to room temperature prior to placing it in the freezer. Smaller portions food portions will freeze and defrost faster. The recommend portion size is approximately 2.5kg Food should be stored in air tight, sealed containers, food storage bags prior to freezing . Ensure that the storage containers are dry to prevent the sticking together. It is advisable to write the date and time limit of food being stored on the container to avoid expiration of the food. Only de-frost the required amount of food, as frozen food should not be re-frozen once thawed. Food is better to be encapsulated before storied in the freezer to avoid water loss and odor taint. Warning: Acid, alkali and salt etc., could erode the internal surface of the freezer. Do not place the food having these substances (e.g. sea fish) directly on the internal surface. Salt water in the freezer should be cleaned in time. Do not exceed the storage time(s) recommended by the food manufacturers for any kind of food and particularly for commercially quick-frozen food in the freezer. Instruction for use Then continue as follows a) We recommend you place fresh foods in the prefreezing compartment at the side (I) (not all models are equipped) or on the bottom of the freezer. This is the coldest part. Avoid placing fresh foods directly in contact with deep frozen food. Deep frozen food could defrost and may not outlast the foreseen storage time. b) The capacity of the freezer,as shown on the rating plate,shoud not be exceeded c) If available, switch on the SUPER FREEZE SWITCH (FIG.4) (not absolutely necessary wh. en filling in already frozen (e.g. deep-frozen food) items. d) After 24 hours, move deep-frozen goods from the freezer bottom or the pre-freeze shelf to a hung basket (K), so that the pre-freeze shelf or freezer bottom are available for freezing additional fresh foods. e) Turn off the SUPER FREEZE SWITCH (yellow light goes off). f) Set the temperature control to one of the appliance's relevant filling capacities (see "Maximum stacking height"). g) Keep the temperature in the storage shelf (E) under control, preferably by placing a thermometer with a scale range of up to -26°C. The storage temperature must always be at least -18°C. Refilling of fresh food (not frozen) Make sure that you re-fill fresh food, in quantities adequate to the freezing capacity (XXkg/24h) earliest 24 hours after the previous filling. Super switch should be turned on at least 24hours in advance when a mass of hot load released, then it should be switch off. (do not exceed maximum stacking height) 7 Maximum stacking height To ensure correct storage of frozen food, never fill the storage shelf (E) up to the edge. Always allow space between the lid and the frozen foods. The largest capacity can reach to the part under the lid. Set the temperature control (FIG.4) strictly according to the filling capacity. To save energy when operating in normal ambient temperature (+18 to + 22°C), we recommend the following settings for the temperature control: Capacity pos.
