Vegetable drawer with humidity control

The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables.

There is a separator inside the drawer that can be placed in dif- ferent positions to al-

low for the subdivi- sion best suited to

personal needs. There is a grille (if foreseen) on the bot- tom of the drawer to

separate the fruit and vegetables from any humidity that may form on the bottom sur- face.

All parts inside the drawer can be removed for cleaning purposes

To regulate the hu- midity in the vegeta- ble drawer there is a device with slits (ad- justable by means of

asliding lever). When the ventilation slots are closed: the natural moisture content of the food in

the fruit and vegetable compartments is pre- served for longer.

When the ventilation slots are opened: more air circulation results in a lower air mois- ture content in the fruit and vegetable com- partments.

Air cooling

The Dynamic Air Cooling (DAC) fan let food cool quickly and a more uniform temperature in the compartment.

You can activate the fan by pressing the fan function switch (refer to "Control panel"). The fan light comes on.

Important! Switch on the fan when the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C.

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.

Move the shelf present in the freezer com- partment to the middle seat, keeping it hori- zontal.

Place the fresh food to be frozen on that shelf.

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 ap- pliance.

The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be fro- zen.

After 24 hours, when the freezing process is completed, return to the required tempera- ture (refer to "Temperature regulation").

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).

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.
