Using the freezer to its full potential
• Adjust the temperature using the display.
• The Cool Care Zone is a compartment that allows
several types of food to be frozen at the most suitable
temperature (fruit, ice cream and alcoholic drinks);
the other two storage compartments (see overall
view) are designed to store frozen foods under normal
conditions.To freeze foods in safely and correctly,
follow the instructions below.
For a small quantity (less than half of the maximum
amount shown on the data plate):
-
if the Cool Care Zone is activated, place the food in
the two storage compartments, making sure that it
does not come into contact with any food that has
already been frozen; press the rapid-freezing SUPER
FREEZE button (the corresponding LED lights up) and
close the door. The function deactivates automatically
after 24 hours or when the inside of the compartment
has reached the optimal temperature (the LED
switches off).
- if the Cool Care Zone is not activated the first
compartment may also be used: place the food inside
and repeat the same steps as detailed above.
For a large quantity (more than half of the maximum
amount shown on the data plate):
Deactivate the Cool Care Zone and empty it, hold
down the SUPER FREEZE button for a few seconds
until the corresponding LED begins to flash. After
approximately 24 hours the freezer will have reached
the optimal food freezing temperature. Once this time
has elapsed the LED remains lit constantly: place the
food inside the freezer and close the door. After 24
hours the food will have been frozen properly and the
function will be deactivated automatically (the LED
switches off); the food may now be moved into the
two lower compartments (so that the Cool Care Zone
can be used if necessary) or even left in the Cool
Care Zone compartment, which operates as a normal
storage compartment when the function has not been
activated.
• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already
been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten
(within 24 hours).
• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into
contact with food that has already been defrosted.
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which
are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because
they could break.
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is
indicated on the plate containing the technical properties
located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment
(for example: Kg/24h: 4).
!
Do not open the door during freezing.
!
If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the
freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside
the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9
-14 hours.
Cool Care Zone
The Cool Care Zone is a special compartment in the
freezer which allows the user to choose between 4
different operating modes that may be set according to
specific requirements and the type of food stored inside.
The temperature settings that may be selected are -8°C,
-12°C and -18°C, indicated by the icons depicting a
strawberry, an ice cream and a bottle on the control
panel. The Cool Care Zone is equipped with controls
that may be operated independently from the other
compartments inside the freezer, by the Cool Care Zone
may also be deactivated using the control panel, so that
it can then be used as a normal freezer compartment.
