For the preparation of food to be frozen, please con-
sult a specialized manual.
Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be re-
frozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24
hours) or to freeze it once again.
When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should not
touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place
the food that you wish to freeze in the top compartment
"
H
" where the temperature will fall below -18°C, which is
ideal for freezing food properly. Remember that proper con-
servation depends on the speed of freezing.
The maximum amount of food you can freeze per day is
indicated on the data plate situated inside the refrigerator
compartment.
The first time, or after the freezer has been inactive, you can
only freeze food after having let the appliance function at
maximum. When the appliance is already on, freezing can
be done in two ways:
1.
For small quantities, less than the maximum capacity
indicated on the data plate (situated on the lower left, next
to the salad crisper), enable the
SUPER FREEZE
function on
the display in the
"24 hour"
mode and insert the food to be
frozen. To enable the function, press the
MODE
button
"C"
as many times as necessary for the
SUPER FREEZE
symbol
to start flashing and then press the
SELECT "B"
button to
enable the
function. After 24 hours, or once the optimal
temperatures have been reached, the rapid freezing function
is automatically disabled.
2.
For large quantities of food to be frozen (up until the
maximum load indicated on the data plate situated on the
lower left, next to the salad crisper), enable the
SUPER
FREEZE
function on the display in the
"48 hours"
mode: To
enable the function, press the MODE button
"C"
as many
times as necessary for the
SUPER FREEZE
symbol to start
flashing and then press the
SELECT "B"
button for more
than three seconds to ensure the function is enabled (symbol
starts to flash slowly).
During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the
freezer.
In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is recom-
mended that you divide food into small portions so that they
freeze quickly and uniformly. The packages should be clearly
marked with the content and the date they were frozen.
In order to obtain a larger amount of space in the freezer
compartment, you can remove the central drawer, and place
the food directly onto the evaporator plate. Make sure that,
after having inserted the load, the door closes correctly.
Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power failure
or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in tem-
perature within the compartment. If the door is not opened,
frozen and fast-frozen foods will remain in their current state
for approximately 9-14 hours.
Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily
burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze.
How to use the freezer compartment...
To cool drinks down quickly.
Thanks to the special
ICE PARTY
function, you will no longer
have to deal with the problem of finding broken bottles
placed to cool inside the freezer compartment (all liquids,
upon freezing, expand and increase in volume). Once you
have enabled this function, the appliance itself will inform
you in the form of an alarm buzzer that the time has come
to remove the bottle from the freezer compartment. To
silence the alarm buzzer, just press the
SELECT
button
"D"
.
Do not forget to use the ergonomic bucket provided to store
the bottle inside the freezer compartment; as well as
accelerating the cooling process of the same, once it is time
to serve it at the table, you can take it there easily thanks to
the special handles and keep it cool at length at the table.
WARNING:
always keep the bucket provided for the bottle
inside the freezer compartment (even when you don't have
bottles to cool); only this way can the low temperature of
the liquid be guaranteed in a short amount of time.
