Note:
In general, a medium power level works best for an optimized food storage. A high power level also increases
the energy consumption.
If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit.
If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the appliance will not start. Large amounts of food will lower
the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust the temperature control by one numerical increment
at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between adjustments.
After power on, the power light will keep lighting.
If users need to use the fast freezing function, press the fast freezing switch and the compressor will keep
working without interruption.
Once the alarm light illuminates for malfunction, please contact our customer service or professional
maintenance personnel for repair.
Storing food
Note: Recommendation!
To guarantee that the temperature is low enough, you should pre-cool the appliance a few times before initial
loading foods.
Caution: Always pay attention to the storage instructions on the sales packaging.
The 4-star freezer allows you to store frozen food at a temperature of ≤ -18°C for several months; to produce
ice cubes and to freeze fresh food.
To avoid contamination of food, respect the following instructions:
Opening the lid for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments
of the appliance.
Regularly clean surfaces that can come in contact with food and the water discharge channel inside the
bottom of the appliance.
Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the appliance, so that it is not in contact with or drip
onto other food.
If the appliance is out of use for long period, follow the instructions under "Switching off".
Storage space
If necessary, the freezing basket can be removed to optimize the storage space.
Freezing
Fresh food should be frozen as fast as possible to the core. During freezing operation, the temperature
of fresh food should be lowered as fast as possible to keep formation of ice crystals as little as possible
and not to damage the food structure.
If possible, keep a space between the individual items, so that the cold air can circulate.
The following foods are suitable for freezing: Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry,
vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese and butter, ready meals and
leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts.
The following foods are not suitable for freezing: Types of vegetables, which are usually consumed raw,
such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-boiled eggs,
yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, and mayonnaise.
