  • The recommended temperature setting is –18 °C. At this temperature, food quality and freshness are preserved longer.
  • If the ambient temperature in the room where the appliance is installed is below 16 °C, we recommend setting a temperature lower than -18 °C.Asko-FN31831I-Upright-Freezer-Frost-Free-fig 7

Intensive freezing (FastFreeze)
This appliance has an intensive freezing function. This function decreases the temperature in the freezer compartment as quickly as possible. Activate this function 24 hours before you put a large quantity of fresh food in the appliance.

When the intensive freezing function is selected, the appliance works at maximum capacity. It may then make more noise for a while.

  • To activate the intensive freezing function, press the A key several times until symbol C lights up.
  • To switch off the intensive freezing function, press the A key to select the desired temperature B.Asko-FN31831I-Upright-Freezer-Frost-Free-fig 8

Adjusting the temperature of the freezer compartment while the intensive freezing function is activated will immediately disable the intensive freezing function.
When the intensive freezing function is not manually disabled then the function will be automatically disabled after about two days. The temperature then returns to the latest set temperature.
Should a power failure occur while the function is activated then the function will be activated again when the power is restored.

Open door alarmAsko-FN31831I-Upright-Freezer-Frost-Free-fig 6

An alarm signal sounds when a door is open for too long.
Stopping the alarm

  1. Close the door.
    • The alarm will stop sounding.

If you only switch off the alarm by touching the A key, the alarm will switch on again after some time because the door is still open.

High temperature alarm
A signal will sound when the temperature in the appliance is too high. Furthermore, symbol D shown in the display will flash. A high temperature can be caused for several reasons:

  • The door has been opened for too long or too frequently.
  • The door does not seal properly.
  • Too much fresh food has been put in at the same time.

Every time the appliance is switched on again, it takes a while until the correct temperature is reached. For this reason, the alarm is disabled for the first 24 hours after the appliance is switched on to prevent the unnecessary activation of the alarm.

Stopping the alarm

  1. Touch the A key to stop the alarm.
    • The alarm will stop sounding.
    • Symbol D shown in the display continues to flash while the temperature is still too high.

When you press the A key for the first time, the alarm will be acknowledged and turned off. When you press the A key again, it will already work as a settings adjustment key.
When the alarm is not stopped manually then the signal will sound for the first minutes of every half hour and when the door is opened.Asko-FN31831I-Upright-Freezer-Frost-Free-fig 11

STORING AND FREEZING FOOD

Recommended distribution

The best location for freezing fresh food is marked with a.Asko-FN31831I-Upright-Freezer-Frost-Free-fig 10

Do not store lettuce, eggs, apples, pears, grapes, peaches, yoghurt, buttermilk, sour cream or mayonnaise in the freezer.

Avoid contamination of food

To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:

  • Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
  • If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
Freezing and storing foods in the freezer

Important recommendations for freezing fresh food

  • The maximum quantity of food that you can put in the freezer in one go is stated on the type plate. Putting more than this maximum quantity of food into the freezer will slow the freezing process and reduce the quality. Moreover, this will also harm the quality of frozen food already stored in the freezer.
  • Use only good-quality fresh food that is suitable for freezing.
  • Allow hot food to cool to room temperature.
  • Food needs to be frozen quickly. It is recommended that you use small packs.
  • Use air and watertight packaging to prevent the food from drying out and lose its vitamins.
  • Note the type and quantity of the food on the packaging, together with the date on which it was frozen.
  • Do not allow fresh food to come into contact with frozen food.
  • You can remove all the drawers to make use of the total volume of the freezer compartment.
  • Put the food directly on a shelf and on the base of the freezer.

Freezing small quantities of fresh food/making ice cubes
See the chapter ‘Recommended distribution’ for the best location for freezing fresh food (1 to 2 kilograms) and making ice cubes.

Freezing large quantities of fresh food

  • Activate the intensive freezing function 24 hours before you plan to freeze the food.
  • Distribute the fresh food equally between all the drawers in the freezer compartment.
  • After 24 hours, you can transfer the food to another compartment in the freezer and then freeze a new batch of food.

Important recommendations for storing frozen food

  • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the storage and use of frozen food. Take note of the recommended storage temperature and use-by date stated on the packaging.
  • Use only food in undamaged packaging that has been stored at a temperature of -18 °C or lower.
  • Do not buy food covered in frost. This indicates that the food has thawed or partially thawed several times and, as a result, is of inferior quality.
  • Make sure that the food does not thaw during transport. An increase in its temperature will shorten the storage life and harm the quality of the food.

Recommended storage times of frozen food in the freezer

Type of food Storage life
Fruit, beef 10 to 12 months
Vegetables, veal, poultry 8 to 10 months
Venison 6 to 8 months
Pork 4 to 6 months
Finely chopped or minced meat 4 months
Bread, pastas, cooked dishes, whitefish 3 months
Offal 2 months
Smoked sausage, bluefish 1 month

Thawing frozen food

  • Thawing is an important step in storing food preserved by freezing. Food must be thawed in the correct way.
  • Suitable methods of thawing food are:
    • in the refrigerator;
    • in cold water;
    • in a microwave or conventional oven with a suitable thaw program.
  • Some frozen products can be prepared without needing to thaw them first. The manufacturer will state this on the packaging.
  • The food needs to be packed in small portions. In this way the food thaws faster.
  • Use partially or completely thawed food as quickly as possible. The bacteria in thawed food are reactivated and the food will spoil rapidly. This applies in particular to fruit, vegetables and ready-made food.
  • Do not refreeze partially or completely thawed food.

MAINTENANCE

Defrosting the appliance

Defrosting of the NoFrost freezer
The NoFrost freezer defrosts automatically. Any frost deposits will then disappear.
Any ice or frost deposits that nevertheless form in the freezer compartment can be caused by unusual use of the appliance (opening the door too often and too long or poorly sealing door, etc.). The freezer will then need to be defrosted manually.

Cleaning the appliance 

  • Switch off the appliance and remove the plug from the socket before you start cleaning it.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, as they can damage the surface.
  • Activate the intensive freezing function 24 hours before you plan to clean the freezer.
  • Regularly clean the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water. If so required, add a neutral cleaning agent or special refrigerator cleaner to the water. Clean all surfaces with a soft cloth. Wipe the cleaned parts with a cloth with clean water and then dry them thoroughly.
  • Do not put parts of the appliance in a dishwasher: this could damage them.
  • When you are not going to use the appliance for a longer period then switch it off with the appropriate key and disconnect it from the mains. Empty, defrost and clean the appliance, and leave the door ajar.

OTHER

Faults table

When you have any doubts about whether your appliance is working properly you should not immediately assume that it is defective. We recommend that you should in any case check the points in the following table.

Problem Cause/Solution
Appliance is connected to the power supply but is not working. Check that the socket is live and that the appliance is switched on.
Appliance cools continuously for a long time. The compressor is operating for a longer time at low capacity (low energy consumption / high efficiency). This is the most efficient form of operation. The following factors can also influence the appliance’s operation:

•   The ambient temperature is too high.

•   The door has been opened for too long or too frequently.

•   The door is not closed properly.

•   The door does not seal properly (the seal is dirty, the door is misaligned or the seal is damaged, etc.).

•   Too much fresh food has been put in at the same time.

•   Insufficient air circulation around the compressor and condenser. Check that the ventilation around the appliance is sufficient (see the separate installation instructions).

Excessive ice formation in the freezer. •   The door has been opened for too long or too frequently.

•   The door is not closed properly.

•   The door does not seal properly (the seal is dirty, the door is misaligned or the seal is damaged, etc.).

Symbol D flashes: •   The door has been opened for too long or too frequently.

•   The door does not seal properly (the seal is dirty, the door is misaligned or the seal is damaged, etc.).

•   Too much fresh food has been put in at the same time.

Door does not open easily. You are trying to open the appliance’s door just after you have closed the door. Then opening the door is difficult. When you open the door, cold air escapes from the appliance and is replaced by warm air

from the surroundings. As this air cools a slight vacuum is created that makes it more difficult to open the door. The situation returns to normal after a few minutes, and the door opens easily again.

Some or all of the LED lighting does not work. Consult a service technician about LED lighting that is not working. You may not try to repair LED lighting.
Problem Cause/Solution
Appliance makes a noise. •   The appliance is cooled by a refrigeration system with a compressor (and with some models, also a fan) that makes a noise. The noise level depends on the installation of the appliance, its correct use and its age.

•   When you connect the appliance to the power supply the noise made by the compressor or flowing refrigerant may be slightly louder. This is not indicative of a defect, and has no effect on the service life of the appliance. The appliance will make less noise after a while.

•   The appliance may be temporarily noisier after the door has   been opened for too long or too frequently, a large quantity of fresh food has been put in the appliance or the intensive freezing function has been activated.

If you are unable to solve the problem then contact the service centre. When you do so, state the type, model and serial number shown on the type plate or label on the inside of the appliance.
