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 (M) where the temperature will fall below
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.
Press the freezing button “Super Freeze” (F), yellow lamp (E) lit, and insert the food to be frozen. After 24 hours, or once the optimum temperatures have been reached, the rapid freezing function will switch itself off automatically, yellow lamp (E) off.
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
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.
Ice trays
This new concept of ice trays is an exclusive Merloni patent. The fact that they are situated on the inner door of the freezer compartment ensures greater ergonomics and cleanliness: the ice no longer comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after filling with water is also provided).
Instructions for use (Fig. 2)
Fill up the tray with water via the special hole up to the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL), taking care not to exceed it: inserting more water than is necessary will lead to the formation of ice which could obstruct the exit of the ice cubes.
If you have used an excessive amount of water, you will have to wait until the ice has melted, empty out the tray and
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 the same is completely empty and that there are no traces of ice left inside it.
The minimum time required for ice to form well is approximately 8 hours.
