A power failure can cause the defrosting of
the freezer.
If the power was off, for a period of time longer
than the "Rising Time" value, you must use or
cook immediately the defrosted food. Refer to
"TECHNICAL INFORMATION" for the value.
You can freeze the cooked food when it be-
comes cool.
Thawing
Before you cook frozen food or deep-frozen
food, thaw the food in the fridge or at room tem-
perature.
It is possible to cook small quantities of frozen
food directly from the freezer, but this increases
the cooking time.
Glass shelves
You can put the glass shelves at different
heights.
Hints and tips
Energy saving
• Do not to open the door of the fridge or of
the freezer frequently .
• Do not keep the door of the fridge or of the
freezer open for more than the necessary
time.
• If the appliance operates continuously and
there is frost on the internal rear part, the
cause can be:
– The temperature knob is set at the lowest
position.
– The room temperature, where the appli-
ance is installed, is too warm.
– The appliance is full.
Set the temperature knob at a higher position.
The automatic defrosting starts and the ener-
gy consumption decreases.
