[. . . ] 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. 5 GB Storing It is practical to replace frozen products into the storing compartments after freezing has finished so that to make room in the freezing compartment for another freezing. In large quantities of food are to be stored, remove the baskets except the lowermost one from appliance and place food on the shelves. Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods already stored. Hints and ideas In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given about how to use the appliance to reach maximum energy saving and there is environmental information about the appliance as well. How to save energy Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place and near anything that gives off heat. Place the foods to be frozen in the lower part of the product. For the perfect 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. Perform defrosting and cleaning operations as described above. Problem Possible causes Thermostat is set too low. No sufficient pre-cooling done before freezing started. Too large quantity of food inserted: Too much food inserted for freezing at the same time. Thermostat is set too high. Remedial action Set to higher position. Provide for sufficient pre-cooling time. Set to lower position. Cooling is too weak. Cooling is too strong. No cooling at all. Check plug-socket connection. Plug is not properly inserted into socket. According to the indicator, the on/off switch (B) is not Check presence of current. Press the on/off switch (B) for more than a second. Check stability of product support (all four feet should stand on floor). [. . . ] The refrigerant circuit comprises primarily of an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and pipe work. Evaporator The refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator. Similar to all other liquids, refrigerant requires heat to evaporate. This heat is removed from the interior of the appliance, as a result the interior is cooled. [. . . ]
