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 Fast Freezing 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 compart-
ment.
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 fridge.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period
do not add other food to be frozen.
After 24 hours, when the freezing process is completed,
deactivate the Fast Freezing function (see "Fast Freezing
function").
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.
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 opera-
tion.
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 refrigera-
tor are equipped with a
series of runners so that
the shelves can be posi-
tioned as desired.
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food
packages of various sizes,
the door shelves can be
placed at different heights.
Gradually pull the shelf in
the direction of the arrows
until it comes free, then
reposition as required.
Vegetable Drawer
The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables.
There is a separator inside the drawer that can be placed
in different positions to allow for the subdivision best
suited to personal needs.
There is a grille (if foreseen) on the bottom of the drawer
to separate the fruit and vegetables from any humidity that
may form on the bottom surface.
All parts inside the drawer can be removed for cleaning
purposes

Removal of freezing baskets from the freezer
The freezing baskets have a limit stop to prevent their
accidental removal or falling out. At the time of its removal
from the freezer, pull the basket towards yourself and,
upon reaching the end point, remove the basket by tilting
its front upwards.
At the time of putting it back, slightly lift the front of the
basket to insert it into the freezer. Once you are over the
end points, push the baskets back in their position.
