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 Action
freeze function at least 24 hours before plac-
ing the food to be frozen in the freezer com-
partment.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the 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 fro-
zen.
When the freezing process is completed, re-
turn to the required temperature (see "Action
freeze Function").
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator com-
partment 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.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of
use, before putting the products in the com-
partment let the appliance run at least 2
hours on the higher settings.
Important! 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 in the technical
characteristics chart under "rising time", the
defrosted food must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after
cooling).
Natura fresh 0°C Compartment
In the Natura fresh 0°C compartment the
temperature is controlled automatically. It
stays constantly at about 0°C, no adjustment
is necessary.

Type of food

The constant storage temperature of about
0°C and the relative humidity of between 45
and 90 % provide optimal conditions for the
various kinds of food.
Important!
You can therefore store a variety of fresh food
in the Natura fresh 0°C compartment, where
it will last up to 3 times longer with better
quality compared to normal refrigerator com-
partments. This allows you to stock more
fresh food. Taste, degree of freshness, qual-
ity and nutritional values (vitamins and min-
erals) are well preserved. Loss of weight in
vegetables and fruit diminishes. Food yields
a higher degree of nutritional value.
Important!
The Natura fresh 0°C compartment is also
suitable for defrosting food.
In this case the thawed food can be stored
up to two days .
Humidity control
Both drawers can be used according to the
desired storage conditions independently of
each other with lower or higher humidity.
Regulation for each drawer is separate and
is controlled using the slide valve at the front
of the drawer.
• „Dry": low air humidity - up to 50 % relative
humidity
This humidity level is reached when both
sliders are set into this position and the
ventilation openings are wide open.
• Humid": high relative humidity - up to 90%
This humidity level is reached when both
sliders are set in this position
ventilation openings are closed. Humidity
is kept and can not escape.
