Using the freezer to its full potential
• 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 for freezing should not be placed in contact with
the one already frozen; it should be placed in the lower
FREEZER and STORAGE compartment that provides the best
freezing rate.
• To freeze fresh food in the best and safest way possible,
activate the SUPER function 24 hours before placing the
food in the freezer. After placing the food inside, activate the
SUPER function again; it will be deactivated automatically
after 24 hours;
• 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: 2Kg/24h ).
! To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer
compartment, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation
holes with food or containers.
! 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 12-18
hours.
! To get more space inside your freezer, you can take out any
drawers (and flaps, if appropriate), from their slots, by putting
your food directly on the provided shelves.
