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
fridge.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during
this period do not add other food to be
frozen.
After 24 hours, when the freezing process is
completed, deactivate the Fast Freezing
function (see "Fast Freezing function").

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
before 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 Fast Freezing setting.
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,
depending on the time available for this
operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still
frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with two trays
for the production of ice-cubes.
1. Fill the trays with water.
2. Put the trays in the freezer compartment
Caution! 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
power failure or breakdown.
