Important!
At start-up the displayed
temperature don't correspond with the set
temperature until stabilised (within 24
hours).
Difference between the temperature
displayed and temperature setting is normal.
Especially when:
• a new setting has recently been selected
• the door has been left open for a long
time
• warm food has been placed in the
compartment.
Difference until 5°C inside the compartment
are quite normal.
During normal functioning the indicator
shows the warmest temperature inside the
compartment.
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.
If large quantities of food are to be stored,
remove all drawers and baskets from
appliance and place food on cooling shelves
to obtain the best performance.
Warning!
Make sure that foods do
not exceed the load limit stated on
the side of the upper section (where
applicable)
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,
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.
Cold accumulators
The freezer contains at least one cold
accumulator which increases storage time in
the event of a power cut or breakdown.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or more
trays for the production of ice-cubes. Fill
these trays with water, then put them in the
freezer compartment.
Important!
Do not use metallic
instruments to remove the trays from the
freezer.
