typical smell of a brand-new product, then
dried thoroughly.
DAILY USE
WARNING! Refer to Safety
chapters.
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 FastFreeze
function and place the food to be frozen in
the freezer compartment.
To freeze fresh food activate the FastFreeze
function at least 24 hours before placing the
food to be frozen in the freezer
compartment.
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
frozen.
When the freezing process is completed,
return to the required temperature (see
"FastFreeze Function").
In this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might
drop below 0°C. If this occurs
reset the temperature regulator
to a warmer setting.

place food on glass shelf to obtain the best
performance.
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 data
chart under "Rising time", the
defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked
immediately and then re-frozen
(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.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the shelves
can be positioned as desired.
