Daily use
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 at least 24 hours before placing the
food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the bottom
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 with the FastFreeze function turned on.
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.
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 data 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.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of shelves support so that the shelves can
be positioned as desired.
Some shelves must be lifted up by the rear edge
to enable them to be removed.
Do not move the glass shelf above
the vegetable drawer to ensure
correct air circulation.
