DAILY USE
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
FROSTMATIC function at least 24 hours
before placing the food to be frozen in
the freezer compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can
be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the
rating plate
.
1)
The freezing process lasts 24 hours:
during this period do not add other
food to be frozen.
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 set-
tings.
If large quantities of food are to be
stored, remove all drawers and baskets
from appliance and place food on cool-
ing shelves to obtain the best perform-
ance.
WARNING!
Make sure that foods do not ex-
ceed the load limit stated on
the side of the upper section
(where applicable)
In the event of accidental de-
frosting, for example due to a
power failure, if the power has
been off for longer that the val-
ue shown in the technical char-
acteristics 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
being used, can be thawed in the re-
frigerator compartment or at room tem-
perature, depending on the time availa-
ble for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still
frozen, directly from the freezer: in this
case, cooking will take longer.
MOVABLE SHELVES
The walls of the refrigerator are equip-
ped with a series of runners so that the
shelves can be positioned as desired.
For better use of space, the front half-
shelves can lie over the rear ones.
POSITIONING THE DOOR
SHELVES
To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the door shelves can be
placed at different heights.
