4. DAILY USE
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
4.1 Initial power on
CAUTION!
Before inserting the power
plug in to the outlet and
switching on the cabinet for
the first time, leave the
appliance standing upright
for at least 4 hours. This will
assure a sufficient amount of
time for the oil to return to
the compressor. Otherwise
the compressor or electronic
components may sustain
damage.
4.2 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 with the FastFreeze
function turned on. The freezer drawers
ensure that it is quick and easy to find
the food package you want. If large
quantities of food are to be stored,
remove all drawers except for the bottom
drawer which needs to be in place to
provide good air circulation. On all
shelves it is possible to place food that
protrude until 15 mm from the door.
4.3 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 small amount of fresh food it is
not necessary to change the present
setting.
To freeze fresh food activate the
FastFreeze function at least 24 hours
before placing the food to be frozen in
the freezer compartment.
Place the food to be frozen in the top
compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can
be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the
rating plate.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours:
during this period do not add other food
to be frozen.
When the freezing process is complete,
return to the required temperature (see
"FastFreeze Function").
In this condition, the
refrigerator compartment
temperature might drop
below 0°C. If this occurs
reset the temperature
regulator to a warmer
setting.
