Some useful information and advice

After opening and closing the door of freezer vac-
uum 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.
Take care of operating the freezer at a position of
thermostatic control so that the inside temperature
can never go beyond -18 °C, since temperature
higher than this can deteriorate frozen foods.
It is practical to make sure of faultless operation of
the appliance daily so as to notice possible failure
in time and prevent deterioration of frozen foods.

Maintenance

Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber in
form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the
appliance.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it
reduces cooling efficiency as the temperature increas-
es, it needs more energy, at a certain thickness it does
not allow the door of the freezing compartment to
open, possibly the door can be broken.
It is possible to scrape off and remove smaller frost
and ice with the enclosed ice scraper.
The tray in figure is not a piece of accessories to the
appliance!
Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film
to avoid building up unnecessary frost.
Avoid products put in the freezer compartment to
touch foods already frozen.
Do not leave the door open longer than necessary
and avoid unnecessary openings.
Put warm foods into the appliance only when they
are at room temperature.
The condenser must be kept clean.
