HOW TO USE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT...

For the preparation of food to be frozen, please con- sult a specialized manual.

Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be re- frozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24 hours) or to freeze it once again.

When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should not touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place the food that you wish to freeze in the top compartment "I" where the temperature will fall below -18°C, which is ideal for freezing food properly. Remember that proper con- servation depends on the speed of freezing.

The maximum amount of food you can freeze per day is indicated on the data plate situated inside the refrigerator compartment.

The first time, or after the freezer has been inactive, you can only freeze food after having let the appliance function at maximum.

Food can be frozen by enabling the SUPER FREEZE 24 hour function (see the paragraph on "How to use the display"). After 24 hours, or once the optimal temperatures have been reached, the rapid freezing function is automatically disabled. During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the freezer.

In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is rec- ommended that you divide food into small portions so that they freeze quickly and uniformly. The packages should be clearly marked with the content and the date they were frozen.

Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power failure or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in tem- perature within the compartment. If the door is not opened, frozen and fast-frozen foods will remain in their current state for approximately 9-14 hours.

Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze.

WARNING: to avoid blocking the air circulation inside the refrigerator, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or containers.

Thanks to the special ICE PARTY function, you will no longer have to deal with the problem of finding broken bottles placed to cool inside the freezer compartment (all liquids, upon freezing, expand and increase in volume). By enabling this function, the appliance itself will let you know, by sounding a buzzer and by means of a visual signal (a message on the display in the form of scrolling text), when it is the best time to remove the bottle from the compartment. To turn the buzzer off and cancel the message from the display, just press the RESET ALARM (C) button. Do not forget to use the ergonomic bucket provided to store the bottle inside the freezer compartment; as well as accelerating the cooling process of the same, once it is time to serve it at the table, you can take it there easily thanks to the special handles and keep it cool at length at the table.

WARNING: always keep the bucket provided for the bottle inside the freezer compartment (even when you don't have bottles to cool); only this way can the low temperature of the liquid be guaranteed in a short amount of time. Remember that for optimal operation, the bucket with the bottle inside it should be stored in the top part "I" of the freezer compartment when the ICE PARTY function has been enabled.
