Note:

the "Quick freeze on/off switch")

Freezing

Prepare the various foods properly and then freeze

them always in the freezing compartment.
The quick freeze function ("FROSTMATIC") is used to

achieve the quick freezing of fresh food and to prevent

the already frozen goods from undesirable warming

up.
For using the quick freeze function, press the quick

freeze on/off switch (J) 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 yellow indicator (H) will light up and 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 (J) for 2-3 seconds. If

not switched off manually, the quick freeze function

will be automatically switched off 48 hours later. The

yellow indicator (H) will also go out.

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.

Place the foods to be frozen in the second part of

the product.

For the best operation of the product, make sure

that the frozen foods will not touch the ventilator

cover or the ventilator mounted on the backside 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.

Thawing

Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used,

can be thawed in a fridge or at room temperature,

depending on the time available. Small food items

may even be cooked from frozen, in this case

cooking will take longer.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw

accidentally should either be eaten as soon as

possible, or thrown away.Alternatively, if the food is

uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it

can be cooked and then refrozen.

Defrosted cooked food must never be

refrozen.

How to make ice cubes

Fill the supplied ice cube tray ¾ full with water and place

in the freezer compartment. Turning up the thermostat

control will speed up the freezing process, but remember

to turn the thermostat control back to its original

position.
To release the ice cubes, twist the tray along its length.
Do not use sharp or pointed items to remove a frozen

ice cube tray from the freezer compartment.
