Using the freezer to its full potential

•Adjust the temperature using the display.

•The Cool Care Zone is a compartment that allows several types of food to be frozen at the most suitable temperature (fruit, ice cream and alcoholic drinks); the other two storage compartments (see overall view) are designed to store frozen foods under normal conditions.To freeze foods in safely and correctly, follow the instructions below.

For a small quantity (less than half of the maximum -amount shown on the data plate):

if the Cool Care Zone is activated, place the food in the two storage compartments, making sure that it does not come into contact with any food that has already been frozen; press the rapid-freezing SUPER FREEZE button (the corresponding LED lights up) and close the door. The function deactivates automatically after 24 hours or when the inside of the compartment has reached the optimal temperature (the LED switches off).

- if the Cool Care Zone is not activated the first compartment may also be used: place the food inside and repeat the same steps as detailed above.

For a large quantity (more than half of the maximum amount shown on the data plate):

Deactivate the Cool Care Zone and empty it, hold down the SUPER FREEZE button for a few seconds until the corresponding LED begins to flash. After approximately 24 hours the freezer will have reached the optimal food freezing temperature. Once this time has elapsed the LED remains lit constantly: place the food inside the freezer and close the door. After 24 hours the food will have been frozen properly and the function will be deactivated automatically (the LED switches off); the food may now be moved into the two lower compartments (so that the Cool Care Zone can be used if necessary) or even left in the Cool Care Zone compartment, which operates as a normal storage compartment when the function has not been activated.

•Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24 hours).

•Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been defrosted.

•Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break.

•The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4).

!Do not open the door during freezing.

!If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.

Cool Care Zone

The Cool Care Zone is a special compartment in the freezer which allows the user to choose between 4 different operating modes that may be set according to specific requirements and the type of food stored inside. The temperature settings that may be selected are -8°C, -12°C and -18°C, indicated by the icons depicting a strawberry, an ice cream and a bottle on the control panel. The Cool Care Zone is equipped with controls that may be operated independently from the other compartments inside the freezer, by the Cool Care Zone may also be deactivated using the control panel, so that it can then be used as a normal freezer compartment.
