Initial power on
CAUTION!
Before inserting the power plug in to
the outlet and switching on the
cabinet for the first time, leave the
appliance standing upright for at
least 4 hours. This will assure a
sufficient amount of time for the oil
to return to the compressor.
Otherwise the compressor or
electronic components may sustain
damage.
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 with the QuickFreeze function turned on.
If large quantities of food are to be stored,
remove all drawers from appliance and place
food on glass shelf to obtain the best
performance.
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
data chart under "Rising time", the
defrosted food must be consumed
quickly or cooked immediately and
then re-frozen (after cooling).
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 small amount of fresh foods it is not
necessary to change the present setting.
To freeze fresh food activate the QuickFreeze
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
compartment.
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 appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this
period do not add other food to be frozen.
48
When the freezing process is completed, return
to the required temperature (see "QuickFreeze
Function").
In this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might
drop below 0°C. If this occurs reset
the temperature regulator to a
warmer setting.
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.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be
positioned 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.
