4. FIRST USE
4.1 Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time,
wash the interior and all internal accesso-
ries with lukewarm water and some neutral
soap so as to remove the typical smell of a
brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.
5. DAILY USE
5.1 Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartments (the first and the
second boxes) are suitable for freezing
fresh food and storing frozen and deep-fro-
zen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the fast freeze
function.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rat-
ing 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 fro-
zen.
The freezing tray can be used for freezing
small fruits (raspberry, strawberry, currant,
etc.).
Place a thin layer of the unpacked fruits in
the tray. Once they are frozen, the fruits
can be packed, sorted and placed in the
storing compartments.
5.2 Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, before putting the products in the
compartments (storing compartments)
to make room for another freezing.
If the Fast Freeze Switch is acci-
dentally left on, the fast-freeze
function will be automatically
switched off 48 hours later. The
Yellow Fast Freeze Indicator light
will also go out.
Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage the
finish.
compartment let the appliance run at least
2 hours on the higher settings.
In the event of accidental defrost-
ing, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off for
longer than the value shown in the
technical characteristics chart un-
der "rising time", the defrosted food
must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately and then re-
frozen (after cooling).
5.3 Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed at room temperature.
Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-
zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.
