not necessary to change the present
setting.

To freeze fresh food activate the

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
frozen.

When the freezing process is completed,
return to the required temperature (see
"QuickFreeze Function").

In this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might
drop below 0°C. If this occurs
reset the temperature regulator
to a warmer setting.

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.

WARNING! 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).

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of supports so that the shelves
can be positioned as desired.

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the door shelves can be
placed at different heights.

To make these adjustments proceed as
follows:

1. Gradually pull the shelf in the direction

of the arrows until it comes free.

2.

Reposition the shelf as required.

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.

more trays for the production of ice-cubes.

Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the trays from the
