24 hours is specified on the rating plate (a
label located inside the appliance).
5.5 Storage of frozen food
When activating an appliance for the first time
or after a period out of use, before putting the
products in the compartment let the appliance
run at least 3 hours with the Super Freeze
function switched on.
CAUTION!
In the event of accidental defrosting, for
example due to a power failure, if the
power has been off for longer than the
value shown on rating plate under "rising
time", the defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked immediately
then cooled and then re-frozen.
6. HINTS AND TIPS
6.1 Hints for energy saving
• Fridge: Most efficient use of energy is
ensured in the configuration with the
drawers in the bottom part of the
appliance and shelves evenly distributed.
Position of the door bins does not affect
energy consumption.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than necessary.
• Fridge: Do not set too high temperature to
save energy unless it is required by the
characteristics of the food.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the
temperature control is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice
formation on the evaporator. In this case,
set the temperature control toward higher
temperature to allow automatic defrosting
and to save energy this way.
• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover
the ventilation grilles or holes.
6.2 Hints for freezing
• Activate Super Freeze function at least 24
hours before placing the food inside the
freezer compartment.
5.6 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.
• Before freezing wrap and seal fresh food
in: aluminium foil, plastic film or bags,
airtight containers with lid.
• For more efficient freezing and thawing
divide food into small portions.
• It is recommended to put labels and dates
on all your frozen food. This will help to
identify foods and to know when they
should be used before their deterioration.
• The food should be fresh when being
frozen to preserve good quality. Especially
fruits and vegetables should be frozen
after the harvest to preserve all of their
nutrients.
• Do not freeze bottles or cans with liquids,
in particular drinks containing carbon
dioxide - they may explode during
freezing.
• Do not put hot food in the freezer
compartment. Cool it down at room
temperature before placing it inside the
compartment.
• To avoid increase in temperature of
already frozen food, do not place fresh
unfrozen food directly next to it. Place food
at room temperature in the part of the
freezer compartment where there is no
frozen food.
• Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice
lollies immediately after taking them out of
the freezer. Risk of frostbites.
