How to use the freezer compartment...

For the preparation of food to be frozen, please consult 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, where the temperature will fall below -18°C, which is ideal for freezing food properly. Remember that proper conserva- tion depends on the speed of freezing.

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

-When using the appliance for the first time, or after it has been turned off, you can place food into it only after it has been running for 6-8 hours. Then put the fresh food into the the appropriate compartments and turn the temperature control (A) to setting 3. Freezing will be complete after approximately 24 hours.

-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 tempera- ture 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.

-Fill ice trays so that they are no more than 3/4 full.

-If the room temperature remains below 14°C for a long peraiod of time the freezer will not reach the temperatures required for storage and storage life will be shorter. In this case frozen food should be used within a relatively short period of time.

Ice trays

This new ice tray concept is exclusive to us. The ice tray is situated on the top part of the freezer drawers to ensure greater ergonomics and cleanliness and leave more room free inside the drawers : the ice no longer comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer compartment; furthermore, dripping of water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after filling with water is also provided).

Instructions for use (Fig. 4)

Fill up the tray with water via the special hole up to the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL), taking care not to overfill, inserting excess water will lead to the formation of ice which could obstruct the exit of the ice cubes.

If you do use an excessive amount of water, you will have to wait until the ice has melted, empty out the tray and re-fill it with water.

Once you have filled the ice tray up with water through the hole indicated, turn it by 90 °. Thanks to the connected compartments, the water fills up the special shapes, after which you can cover the hole up with the special cap and place the ice tray in the inner door of the freezer compartment. Once the ice has formed, all you need to do is to knock the tray against a hard surface so that the ice cubes come away from their housing and come out of the same hole used to fill the tray with water. To make it easier for the ice cubes to come out, wet the outside of the tray.

WARNING: every time you fill up the ice tray with water , make sure that it is completely empty and that there are no traces of ice left inside it.

The minimum time required for ice to form properly is approximately 8 hours.
