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.
When the freezing process is completed,
return to the required temperature (see
"FROSTMATIC Function").
In this condition, the
refrigerator compartment
temperature might drop
below 0°C. If this occurs reset
the temperature regulator to a
warmer setting.
5.2 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 FROSTMATIC
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).
5.3 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.
5.4 Positioning the door
shelves
To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the door shelves can be
placed at different heights.
1. Gradually pull the shelf in the
direction of the arrows until it comes
free.
2. Reposition as required.
1
Do not move the lower door
shelf to ensure correct air
circulation.
5.5 Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are
equipped with a series of shelves
support so that the shelves can be
positioned as desired.
Some shelves must be lifted up by the
rear edge to enable them to be
removed.
Do not move the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer
to ensure correct air
circulation.
