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 small amount of fresh foods it is
not necessary to change the present setting.
To freeze fresh food activate the Action
Freeze function 24 hours before placing the
food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
It is possible to place the fresh food to be
frozen in all compartments except the lowest.
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 appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during
this period do not add other food to be frozen.
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.
The freezer baskets ensure that it is quick
and easy to find the food package you
want. If large quantities of food are to be
stored, remove all drawers except for the
bottom basket which needs to be in place
to provide good air circulation. On all
shelves except for the top shelf it is possible to place food that protrude 15 mm from
the door.
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 characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted food
must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooling).
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.

prevent their accidental removal or falling
out. At the time of its removal from the
freezer, pull the basket towards yourself
