DAILY USE
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.
In the event of accidental defrost-
ing, 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).
THAWING
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be-
ing used, can be thawed in the refrigera-
tor compartment or at room temperature,
depending on the time available for this
operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-
zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the FROST-
MATIC function at least 24 hours before
placing the food to be frozen in the freez-
er compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the
FROSTMATIC compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the
rat-
ing plate
, a label located on the inside of
the appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: dur-
ing this period do not add other food to
be frozen.
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
Thermostat requires adjustment
Correct temperature
OK
To assist you in controlling your appliance
correctly we have fitted a temperature in-
dicator to your refrigerator.
The symbol at the side indicates the cold-
est area in the refrigerator.
The coldest area goes from the glass shelf
of the fruit and vegetable drawer to the
symbol or to the shelf positioned at the
same height of the symbol.
For proper storage of the food, ensure
that the temperature indicator is display-
ing the “OK” message.
If “OK” is not displayed adjust the tem-
perature controller to a colder setting and
wait 12 hours before checking the tem-
perature indicator again.
After putting fresh food into the appli-
ance or after opening the door repeatedly
for a long period, it is normal for the
“OK” message to disappear.
CLEANAIR CONTROL FILTER
Your appliance is equipped with a carbon
filter behind a flap in the rear wall of the
air distributing box.
The filter purifies the air from unwanted
odours in the fridge compartment mean-
ing that the storage quality will be further
improved.
