ASSEMBLING FREEZERS /THE INITIAL START UP
Remove the plastic blackings inserted between the lid and the body.
Air circulation at the rear is required for the body to operate efficiently.
Move the freezer backwards to place it properly.
Allow minimum 10 cm of space from the sides and the rear in order to ensure
proper air circulation. Your freezer is now ready to plug in.
Attention: When you initially operate the freezer or open the lid while the freezer is functioning, ambient air in the room will flow into the body. Since this fresh air will suddenly cool, its volume will get dense and it will make a vacuum effect for a period of 10 minutes in the body. In this case, you may find it hard to open the lid of the freezer. Wait for a little while and don’t force on the handle. After a short time, the lid will allow itself for an easy opening.
If you have a Dual Mode Chest Freezer;
WARNING! When you switch mode of your appliance from freezer to cooler,
water may accumulate in the product. Accumulated water should be drained out.
Follow the steps outlined in the Defrost Process for evacuation. (see page-8)
When the product running in freezer mode, if cabinet’s door remains open for a
long time, snow may occur. This is a normal situation.
When the product running in cooler mode, if cabinet’s door remains open for a
long time condensation may occur. This is a normal situation.
OPERATING THE FREEZER
Freezer Control Panel
Dual Mode Freezer Control Panel
Thermostat Adjustment Switch:
For Freezer :
Thermostat adjustment is the most optimum adjustment in products with
mechanical thermostat in factory defaults. It is recommended not to be
replaced as long as it is not troubled with the inter product temperature. If
you think that the product is not in desired temperature range you can make
thermostat adjustment.
Thermostat is set to maximum during manufacturing (set to end position in the
clockwise). You can easily adjust the thermostat knob by the help of a coin
from the 1. Level (warmest) up to the 7. Level (coldest). Make the thermostat
setting considering the seasonal changes, food load in the freezer and the
ambient conditions under which it is operated.
For Dual Mode Freezer:
The product temperature can be adjusted with thermostat switch. With the help
of thermostat switch you can use your product as cooler or freezer. You can
turn this switch easily with the help of a coin.
The product will work as cooler or freezer according to the adjustment you
made in the temperature range that specified in the Control Panel.
When you turn the switch until the end of left (counter clockwise), you will
obtain highest temperature in your product. When you turn the switch until the
end of right (clockwise), you will obtain lowest temperature in your product.
Thermostat should be adjusted considering seasonal changes, loading condition
of product and the environmental conditions.
Power Light:
It indicates that, product is plugged in and activated.
Temperature Warning Light (For Freezer):
If it is on this indicates that the interior temperature of the freezer is not
at the desired limit value.
Compressor Light (For Dual Mode Freezer) :
If compressor light is on, it means that compressor is running. When the
thermostat reaches the cut-off value, compressor will stop and light will be
off.
Fast Freeze Switch:
When you push the fast freeze switch, its light will be on and the product
starts running with highest performance. (Compressor runs continuously) When
light is on, auto temperature setting (thermostat) will be deactivated.
WARNING: This feature is deactivated in some products. When you push the fast freeze switch, its light will not be on and the product runs according to auto temperature setting (thermostat). Consult your supplier regarding the feature of your product.
WARNING: When the fast freeze switch is pressed, the compressor runs continuously and thermostat will remain deactivated. If this switch is pressed for a long time, this can lead to more energy consumption or a compressor failure.
If you have a Dual Mode Freezer:
WARNING: If your product is running in cooler mode, certainly do not
press the fast freeze switch. If you press the fast freeze switch, compressor
will start to run continuously, thermostat will be deactivated and your
product will switch to freezer mode. In this case your foods will freeze.
If your product running in cooling mode, it is not suitable for the storage of
food items such as meat and chicken.
Fast Freeze:
Allow minimum 24 hours of operating time at the freeze mode before you place
fresh food in the chest freezer. Do not make any change in the thermostat
setting for fast freezing. Push the fast freeze button to start fast freeze
mode and then stop it again by repushing the button. By this way, the frozen
foods you take out of the freezer for thawing can stand without thawing for a
longer time.
Packing
Packing materials (cling wrap polyethylene films and tin foil) should tightly
wrap foods leaving no space for air.
Containers without lids should be covered with two folds of foil or cling
wraps and then fixed with a rubber.
Avoid overfilling a container as fluid and paste like foods expand in volume
at a rate of 1/10 during freezing.
Mark the packages with labels before freezing. Use self-sticking labels for
this purpose. Write the date of freezing, quantity, expiry date and maximum
storage time on the labels.
Storing Foods:
Place the products which are going to be stored longer in the bottom part of
the conservator and those which are intended for realization in the top part
of the conservator. In order to gain maximum benefit from the chest freezer
and ensure proper food storage, leave enough space between the top lid and the
food packages. Therefore never exceed the maximum load line marked in the
body.
maximum load line
Please strictly observe the following rules:
Foods should be divided into portions in line with the nutritional needs on a
daily or usage amount base in your enterprise.
Foods should be air tightly packed to prevent water loss even if they are to
be preserved for a short period of time.
Packing materials should be air proof as well as resistant to cold, moist,
oil, acid, doors and tearing. They must also be tightly closed, convenient and
made of materials suitable for deep freezing.
If your freezer has a fast freezing compartment; First place the foods on the
floor of the fast freeze compartment. In order to prevent partial thawing of
previously frozen foods, do not let the new ones contact them.
If your freezer does not have a fast freezing compartment, ambient temperature
food items to be frozen-to be new placed should first be placed in the basket
or in a way that previously frozen food does not come into contact with them
in order to prevent them from partially thawing.
Warning: If you have a double lidded chest freezer, since there is a
resistor in the middle bridge offreezer, the products should not contact this
area.
Please find the information as to freezing capacity of your freezer in the
technical features table.

MEATS
Soujouks, frankfurters and all other meat products should be possibly fat free
and left to sit for a while before freezing.
Preparation: Make the portions according to the usage needs. It is easier
to stack and freeze foods if the packages are not thicker than 10-11 cm. Make
sure that the bones do not tear the pouches; otherwise meat loses water and
taste.
Packaging: Wrap the foods carefully with a cling wrap or put them in
plastic pouches. Before freezing, foods should be tightly wrapped without
leaving any room for air in the packages.
Storage Time: Mutton: 8 months; Pork: 6-10 months.
Preparation: When frozen meat is thawed, it should be cooked in the same
way as fresh meat.
Resting meat in the fridge: In order to make fresh meat softer, it needs
to be left to rest in the fridge. Your butcher can tell you how long the meat
you have bought has already been rested.
Attention! Never refreeze any thawed meat if they are not cooked after
thawing.
POULTRY
All poultry (chicken, goose, duck and the like} as well as all wild game
(rabbit, venison, wild boar) allow for freezing. Poultry should be well
dressed and cleaned before freezing and left in the fridge for one day after
washing under running water for a couple of times. Wrap small ones as a whole
and divide the larger ones into parts before storing them. Wild game should be
cut into pieces after 24 hours following the slaughter.
Frozen meats can be stored for 3 months if they are added extra oil and for 12
months when not, therefore it is recommended to add oil after thawing.
Packing: It is possible to wrap poultry and wild game with freezer film
wraps or preferably with aluminium foil. Pieces should be tightly wrapped
without leaving any space for air before freezing.
Storage time: Duck: 2-4 months; chick and chicken: 7-9 months; Goose,
Rabbit: 9-12 months
FISH
Since the fish bought from the market cannot be considered fresh enough, only
the new caught ones should be considered as fresh.
Preparation: Fish for stewing and frying should be well washed under
running water after gutting. Cut up fish heavier than 1 kg. Place the ready to
freeze fish on the foil or film and freeze them for 1-2 hours without wrapping
and then soak them upside down into the salty water and wait until a layer of
ice forms on them. (If they are fatty fish , add a 5grof lemon acid into the
water).
Packing: It is possible to wrap fish with freezer film wraps or preferably
with aluminium foil. Pieces should be tightly wrapped without leaving any
space for air before freezing.
Storage time: Fatty fish storage time is shorter than that of the lean
fish.
Lean fish: 4-8 months; Fatty fish: 2 months; Shellfish: 2-6 months.
VEGETABLES
All precooked and boiled vegetables can be deep-frozen.
Vegetables not suitable for freezing : Lettuce, cress, garden radish,
onion, raw or ripe vegetables
Preparation: Clean the vegetables and wash them thoroughly under running
water, cut them into small pieces and slightly boil.
Shock boiling : Shock boiling is done in order to preserve the colour,
taste, smell and the Vitamin C contained in the vegetables. Get a colander and
a pan ready, full of 7-8 litters of hot water.
Clean the vegetables, put max. 0.5 kg each time in the colander, cover with a
lid and soak it into the boiling water (5 litters) and keep for 2-3 minutes.
If the water gets warmer ii should be reboiled. The water should be hot enough
when soaking the vegetables.
Keep the vegetables under running water and leave them to drain. It is
possible to use the same boiled water fora couple of times in the soaking
process.
Packing: Plastic bags can be used for freezing vegetables. Wrap properly
to ensure occupying minimum storage place. Green leaf vegetables such as
spinach can be put into plastic containers. Portions should not exceed 1 kg
each.
Preparation of the thawed vegetables: You should thaw frozen vegetables
in boiling water or in oil.
Before mashing vegetables (spinach, cabbage), they should be left to thawing.
Once thawed, they should be immediately cooked. Cooking time of previously
frozen vegetables are 1/3 less than that of the fresh ones.
FRUITS
Freeze only ripe (not over-ripe) fruits. Shock boil or sterilize those fruits
that can easily lose colour (apple,
pear and the like). It is possible to use frozen fruits later on as stewed,
jell, marmalade and additives to
pastry. You can either freeze fruits with or without adding sugar according to
the purpose of use. Fruits that
are stored in sugar added water keep their smell and taste after freezing.
Preparation according to purpose of use:
For raw consumption: Fruits can be frozen either in sugar added water or
not in it. Take out of the container, leave for thawing when desired.
For making jelly marmalade. and stewing: Thaw the frozen foods and then treat
as if fresh.
For tarts: Thaw well before use Once thawed, use immediately to make
tarts.
For cakes. pies: Freeze the fruits without adding any sugar. Thaw in the
ambient room temperature. place at the top of the pastry dough, spread sugar
on top before baking.
Packing: Keep those fruits in plastic bags that do not give out juice and
those in plastic containers that give out juice.
Storage Time: Apricot, Fruit jell: 4-6 months, all other fruits 8-12
months.
DAIRY PRODUCTSAND EGGS
Dairy and oily products (sour cream, custard, clotted cream and mayonnaise) do
not allow for deep
Freezing. Eggs: Don not freeze in shells. (Otherwise they would break).
Therefore stir yolks and whites either separately or together until well
blended before freezing. Add a small amount of salt or sugar to ensure that
the yolk mixture is not very consistent.
Packing: Freeze yolks and whites in plastic containers and then store
them packed.
PASTRIES (Breads. cakes and pies)
It is possible to freeze baked tarts, pies, cakes and crusts. For the pastries
keep fresh for a long time, they need to be stored frozen. It is possible to
refreeze the thawed pastries. Pies that are fully ready with the cream on
crust should be well packed after freezing.
Packing: Wrap previously baked pastries with aluminium foil. Leave them
for thawing for the time indicated in the table. It is more convenient to
store cakes in plastic containers. It is easier to store pastry doughs in
plastic cling wraps, as it may be hard to separate the frozen dough from
aluminium foil wrapping.
Storage Time: Breads; Cookies: 3-6 months; others: 1-3 months
Thawing: If thawed pastries (cakes) are baked at 150-200 oC for 5-10
minutes wrapped in aluminium foil, they become crisper and keep their aroma in
contrast to those thawed at the room temperature.
PREVIOUSLY COOKED DISHES:
Some spices change their aroma if stored for a long time and become stronger
in taste. (For instance: anise, basil, dill, vinegar, spice mixtures, ginger,
garlic, paprika, marjoram, black pepper, capsicum, mustard, thyme, vanilla and
onion).
Therefore if you are to freeze a dish, just add a small amount of spice into
it. You can add the desired amount and type of spice after it has thawed.
Storage time of previously cooked dishes depends on also the type of fat and
oil used. Margarine, olive oil and butter in dishes allow for freezing. Peanut
oil and lard (hog fat) are not suitable for deep freezing.
Packing: Keep fluid dishes in plastic containers and keep the others in
freezer wrap or plastic bags.
Storage time: Dairy and dough desserts: 1-3 months; Potato dishes and
Casseroles: 2 3 months.
CLEANING, MAINTAINING AND TRANSPORTING FREEZER
To ensure higher efficiency of your freezer, the body must be cleaned and maintained at least once in a year. Always remove the plug from the mains socket before cleaning the body.
DEFROSTING:
It will take longer to form ice crystals interior if the lid of the body is
not frequently opened and foods are stored in closed packages.
Ice forming on the interior walls of your freezer decreases the efficiency of
your freeze within time. We recommend that you defrost the body when the ice
reaches 5-6 mm of thickness. Set your freeze to fast freeze mode 24 hours
before you start defrosting. Then remove the packages and wrap them separately
and put in the freezer compartment of your fridge to prevent heat gain. So
foods will be well preserved during defrosting and cleaning.
If yourfreezer has a Water Drainage:
Follow the steps described to drain the water that may have accumulated on the
floor of your freezer during defrosting:
Step 1. Pull out the separator of the freezer (optional) (Picture A)
and place it under the exterior water drain tap. (Picture C).
For products that do not have this option, it is recommended to use a
ceiling that can partially get under the product to collect the drainage
water.
Step 2. The exterior drain tap is placed on the front at the bottom of
your freezer. Rotate it 90 ° to left (quarter rotation), pull it out for 2-3
cm and leave it (Picture B). If you want to accelerate water draining, you can
remove the tap.
Step 3. Remove the rubber tap on the floor of the body. (The tap is fixed to
the floor sheet therefore do not exert force. (Picture D)
Attention! Never use any hot water, electrical heater, sharp tools or
similar things as they may harm the freezer.
If your freezer does not have a Water Drainage:
- Unplug the plug from the wall socket.
- Pour 3 It. of hot water into the freezer, close the lid and wait for 30 minutes, then scrape the ice sheet off with a plastic scraper (not supplied with the product).
- After scraping the ice off, clean your freezer with a dry cloth.
WARNING: Never put an electrical appliance inside the freezer and never use a sharp tool to clean the freezer
Replacing the Electric Bulb
If the light bulb does not function anymore, always unplug the freezer from
the mains before replacing it.
Push in the notched lamp cover on the long sides and pull it up.
Rotate the electric bulb, take it off and replace it with a new one max 15
Watts.
Place the lamp cover back.
Plug in the freezer for further use.
Holidays-Non Working Days /Stop Using For A WHILE:
Do not unplug your freezer if you are going to stop usage & expluatation fora
short time.
If you are going to stop usage and expluatation for a long time, unplug the
freeze and empty it. After defrosting, clean the freezer and wipe it out with
a cloth. Leave the lid open to prevent door in the freezer.
Transporting your freeze: Before relocating the body, unplug it from the mains socket, defrost it, wipe the interior walls and floor with a damp cloth, place the plastic blackings between the top lid and the body and carry it in the normal position as it is used.
Attention: Expansion gas (C-Pentane) is used in the insulation system of the freezer. When you dispose the freezer, it is required to observe the applicable laws and rules of the country in which it is used.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
-
If the Red Signal on the control panel is steadily on:
It indicates that the interior temperature is high. Wait for a couple of hours and see if the freezer reaches to the desired temperature. Check if the lid is left open or the freezer is close to a source of heat. -
If the compressor continuously functions:
Check if the ambient temperature is above 43 °C.
See also if the fast freeze mode is in function, if the thermostat is set to cool more than desired or if the grills need cleaning for proper air circulation. -
If the Green power light is off and the freeze does not function:
Check if there is power failure or the freezer is properly plugged. -
If your freeze functions loudly,
Check if the feet are properly levelled. -
If there is door in your freezer,
Clean your freezer as soon as possible. -
If there are tears on the frame of your freeze,
Temporary tears can occur in intensively moisturized environments. This is normal.
After having checked the above-mentioned points and carried out the recommendations, if your freezer still functions unsatisfactorily, contact the nearest authorized service.
