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 freez-
er compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the
top compartment.
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 fridge.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: dur-
ing this period do not add other food to
be frozen.
After 24 hours, when the freezing process
is completed, deactivate the Fast Freez-
ing function (see "Fast Freezing func-
tion").
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 24 hours on the Fast Freeze setting.
If large quantities of food are to be stor-
ed, remove the drawers but the lower one
from appliance and place food on evapo-
rator shelves to obtain the best perform-
ance.
In the event of accidental defrost-
ing, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off
for longer that 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 be-
ing used, can be thawed in the refrigera-
tor compartment or at room temperature,
depending on the time available for this
operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-
zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.
