When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before
putting the products in the compartment let the appli-
ance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.
Important!
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 tem-
perature, depending on the time available for this op-
eration.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly
from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.
