How to use the freezer
Freezing
The appliance can be used to freeze fresh food of quantity specified on the
data label. Freezing different products should always be done after proper
preparing as follows.
Set the thermostat knob to a medium position. 
Put the previously frozen food - or some of it - to the basket or baskets. Put
the fresh food into the freezing compartment, leaving enough space for air-
flow. If there is some previously frozen food left in the freezing compartment,
put this food into...

Storing in the freezer
It is practical to replace frozen products into the basket(s) after freezing has
finished. Doing this you could make room in the freezing compartment for
another freezing. Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods already
stored.
In large quantities of food are to be stored, remove the baskets except the
lowermost one from appliance and place food on the cooling surface.
Do not forget to keep to the storage time given on the packaging of frozen
products if you buy them...

Some useful information and advice
1. The variable shelves are worth paying attention to, which increases the usabil-
ity of the fresh food compartment considerably. Rearranging the shelves is
also possible when the door is open at an angle of 90 .
2. After opening and closing the door of freezer vacuum will rise inside the
appliance because of the low temperature. So wait 2-3 minutes after closing
the door - if you want to open it again - while inner pressure equalises.
3. Take care of opening the...

Hints and ideas
In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given about how to use the appli-
ance to reach maximum energy saving and there is environmental informa-
tion about the appliance as well.
How to save energy
1. Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place near anything that gives off
heat.
2. Be sure that the condenser and the compressor are well ventillated. Do not
cover the sections where ventilation is.
3. Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film to avoid bulding up...

Maintenance
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chambers in form of frost and goes
with the operation of the appliance.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as
the temperature increases in the cooling chambers, they need more energy.
At this type of appliance defrosting the cooling surface of the refrigerator is
automatic without any external intervention. The thermostatic control inter-
rupts the operation of compressor at regular intervals...

46When small frost and ice occurs scrape off and remove frost and ice coating
with the supplied plastic scraper.
When ice coating is so thick that it cannot be removed with the plastic
scraper, the cooling gill have to be defrosted. Frequency of defrosting depends
on usage (generally 2-3 times a year).
Take the frozen foods out of the appliance, and put them into a basket lined
with paper or cloth. Store them in a possibly cool place or replace them into
another refrigerator.
Pull out the mains plug from...
