to be frozen.
5.2
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period
out of use, before putting the products
in the compartment let the appliance run
at least 2 hours on the higher settings.
CAUTION!
In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due to
a power failure, if the power
has been off for longer than
the value shown in the
technical characteristics chart
under "rising time", the
defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked
immediately and then re-
frozen (after cooling).
5.3
Opening and closing the
lid
CAUTION!
Never pull the handle with
immense force.
As the lid is equipped with a tightly
closing seal, it is not easy to reopen it
shortly after closing (due to the vacuum
formed inside). Wait for few minutes
before reopening the appliance.
The vacuum valve will help you to open
the lid.
