Freezer
Freezer is an electric apparatus that is designed for long-term storage of various kinds of products. If you decide to throw out your old refrigerator, the freezer is an excellent replacement. The average operating temperature in this electrical device is -20 degrees Celsius. The freezer section may be inside the refrigerator. A relatively small amount of food can be placed there. In the event that you have a desire to prepare as many products as possible for the winter season, for example, meat, then you will need a separate machine.
The operation of such an apparatus contains a number of manufacturer's rules that must be observed in order to increase the life of the device, as well as improve the quality of the products stored in it. You can find these rules in the manufacturer's instructions.
Let's look at how to use a freezer. How to set up a freezer in a room?
Freezer Operation
We consider each stage individually in more detail.
Installation and Connection
Installation
Install the freezer in a dry room that is well ventilated. Make sure that there are no heat sources near the device. But in what sense is “near”? Consider:
- The distance between the camera and the electric oven should be three centimeters.
- Heating appliances should be at a distance of five centimeters.
- Furniture should be located at a distance of two centimeters.
Now discuss the main rules:
- Avoid direct sunlight on the freezer.
- Ventilation holes should always be available.
- Do not use the machine outdoors.
- After you have completed the installation of the freezer, it cannot be connected to electricity for 2-3 hours.
- Use an outlet that is grounded for electrical power. Before connecting, check. The mains voltage must match the voltage recommended by the manufacturer of this device.
- Before the first connection, the surface of the device should be wiped with warm water. In this case, warm water should be diluted with acetic acid. If moisture remains, then it can be eliminated with an ordinary napkin.
Next, consider the rules of freezing and storage of products.
Defrost rules
Defrost rules:
- If frost is removed manually, then it should be carried out using a plastic scraper. The ice should not have a thickness of more than three millimeters. A plastic scraper is included in the general kit of the device.
- If the ice has a thickness of six millimeters, it is defrosted.
- To carry out a manual defrost, carefully read the instructions.
- The freezer, which has the above defrosting function, needs only to be washed once a year.
A properly configured freezer is the key to its excellent functioning.
Temperature and mode control
Adjustment
The temperature in this equipment is set depending on the temperature of the external environment, the number of products that are stored inside it. Also, the temperature depends on the frequency of opening the door of the device.
To adjust the temperature, use the regulator, which is located under the mask of the device. The roller must be installed on the necessary division. “Division 1” is the highest temperature, “division 7” is the lowest.
There is a "Storage" mode, which is intended for freezing and storage of products whose mass does not exceed four kilograms. To achieve high-quality freezing of a much larger number of products, it is necessary to use another mode - “Freezing”. This mode must be turned on in advance one day before loading the products.
Rules for the freezing and storage of products
Storage
The following rules apply:
- If you are adding fresh produce, exclude its contact with already frozen foods.
- Fresh foods should have a daily allowance.
- To ensure the safety of products, monitor the load level. It should be three centimeters below the edges of the equipment.
- Often you should not open the freezer.
- Monitor the timing of frozen foods.
Safety precautions
Precautionary measures:
- Do not use extension cords for electrical power. Use a start-up relay.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- If your hands are wet, never touch the power outlet.
- Carbonated drinks or drinks in glass bottles should not be frozen.
Atlant Freezer Setup
Atlant
Atlant equipment is quite easy to manage. The temperature is set using the regulator, which has positions from 1 to 7. For optimal temperature, stop the regulator at mark 3. To achieve powerful cooling, the regulator should be stopped at marks from 5 to 7. But do not forget that the compressor will work more intensively , while it will not turn off.
In order to defrost, do the following:
- It is necessary to take hot water and a hard sponge.
- The sponge should be moistened in water and begin to clean the ice crust. Chunks of ice can be easily assembled by hand. They can be removed in a prepared container.
- If the ice does not fall off, you can gently tap on the surface.
- The most difficult task is to defrost the ice on the upper tubes. They are located above the metal mesh. In order to defrost most quickly, this procedure should start from this point.
The device should be connected after a certain time. After connecting, the device should remain empty for a while. You can connect the device at night.
Liebherr Setup
Liebherr
Thanks to electronic control, the required temperature level for this manufacturer is very easy to set with an accuracy of one degree. The temperature recommended by manufacturers is -18 ° C. If desired, the temperature can be lowered to -30 ° C. This is the so-called “shock freezing”. The lowest possible temperature is -38 ° C. This is thanks to the SuperFrost function.
Temperature adjustment is carried out using the touch or keypad, which is quite simple.
The models of this manufacturer have the NoFrost function, so you can not think about defrosting.
How to freeze fresh food? To freeze as many fresh foods as possible, you must do the following:
- Four hours before laying the products, it is necessary to set the temperature in the freezer to 5 ° C. Maybe a little less.
- You can freeze two kilograms of products per day.
- Fresh produce should be placed at the bottom of the freezer. They should be located as far apart as possible.
To defrost, disconnect the freezer from the mains. The products must be pulled out and wrapped in a blanket, after which they must be placed in a cool place. To make this process faster, you can place a pot of hot water inside the device.
Hot water tank
Do not use any heating devices to defrost, otherwise you may damage this equipment.
During this procedure, the doors of the freezer can be left open. Do not forget to collect melt water, this can be done with a sponge or rag. In the end, it remains only to wash the surface.
To quickly freeze products, use the SuperFrost function. If you freeze a small amount of products, then you need to wait about six hours - this is enough. This mode is turned off automatically.
The instructions for the freezer should indicate the temperature for a particular product.
Following these guidelines will help you operate your Liebherr freezer properly. In principle, these rules are also suitable for operating models of other manufacturers, for example, Biryusa. Read the device manual carefully.
