Fan
The refrigerator
compartment is
equipped with a de-
vice that allows for
rapid cooling of
foods and more uni-
form temperature in
the compartment.
This device activates
by itself when nee-
ded, for example for a quick temperature
recovering after door opening or when the
ambient temperature is high.
Allows you to switch on the device manually
when needed (refer to "Fan Function").
Important! The device stops when the door
is open and restarts immediately after the
door closing.
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 Action
Freeze function at least 24 hours before
placing the food to be frozen in the freezer
compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the up-
per drawer, as this is the coldest point.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating
plate, a label located on the inside of the
appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during
this period do not add other food to be fro-
zen.

The symbols show different types of frozen
goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in
months for the appropriate types of frozen
goods. Whether the upper or lower value of
the indicated storage time is valid depends
on the quality of the foods and treating be-
fore freezing.
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
12 hours on the Action Freeze setting.
If large quantities of food are to be stored,
remove all drawers from appliance and
place food on glass shelf to obtain the best
performance.
Important! In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off for longer
that 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 being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator
compartment or at room temperature, de-
pending on the time available for this oper-
ation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-
zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one tray for
the production of ice-cubes.
1. Fill the tray with water.
2. Put the tray in the freezer compartment
Important! Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the tray from the freezer.
Freezer Blocks
Two freezer blocks are supplied in the
freezer; this increase the length of time for
which food will keep in the event of a pow-
er failure or breakdown.
