wash the interior and all internal accesso­ries with lukewarm water and some neutral
soap so as to remove the typical smell of a
brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.

Important! Do not use detergents or abra­sive powders, as these will damage the fin­ish.

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.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the left
compartments, and, once frozen, moved to
the storage baskets.
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.

27

Important! When use the Fast Freezing
function:

about 6
hours be­fore

Introducing small quantities of
fresh food (about 5 kg)

about 24
hours be­fore

Introducing the maximum quan­tity of food (see rating plate)

not needed Introducing frozen food
not needed Introducing small quantities of

fresh food daily 2 kg maximum

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 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).

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or
more trays for the production of ice-cubes.
Fill these trays with water, then put them in
the freezer compartment.

Important! Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the trays from the freezer.

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.

28

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the shelves
can be positioned as desired.
For better use of space, the front half­shelves can lie over the rear ones.

Fridge Doors

For proper opening and closing, it is advis­able to act on both doors simultaneously
(as shown in the figure).
