Do not move the glass shelf above
the vegetable drawer to ensure
correct air circulation.
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 FastFreeze
function and place the food to be frozen in the
freezer compartment.
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 fresh food to be frozen in the middle
compartment.
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 frozen.
When the freezing process is completed, 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.
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 settings.
Warning! In the event of
accidental defrosting, for
example due to a power
failure, if the power has been
off for longer than 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.
Fan
The refrigerator compartment is equipped with
a device that allows rapid cooling of food and
keeps a more uniform temperature in the
compartment.
This device activates automatically when
needed, for example for a quick temperature
recovery after door opening or when the
ambient temperature is high.
