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
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. When the appliance is already on, freezing can be done in two ways:
1.For small quantities, less than the maximum capacity indicated on the data plate (situated on the lower left, next to the salad crisper), enable the SUPER FREEZE function on the display in the "24 hour" mode and insert the food to be frozen. To enable the function, press the MODE button "C" as many times as necessary for the SUPER FREEZE symbol to start flashing and then press the SELECT "B" button to
enable the 
function. After 24 hours, or once the optimal
temperatures have been reached, the rapid freezing function is automatically disabled.
2.For large quantities of food to be frozen (up until the maximum load indicated on the data plate situated on the lower left, next to the salad crisper), enable the SUPER FREEZE function on the display in the "48 hours" mode: To enable the function, press the MODE button "C" as many times as necessary for the SUPER FREEZE symbol to start flashing and then press the SELECT "B" button for more than three seconds to ensure the function is enabled (symbol
starts to flash slowly).
During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the freezer.
In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is recom- mended 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.
In order to obtain a larger amount of space in the freezer compartment, you can remove the central drawer, and place the food directly onto the evaporator plate. Make sure that, after having inserted the load, the door closes correctly.
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.
To cool drinks down quickly.
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). Once you have enabled this function, the appliance itself will inform you in the form of an alarm buzzer that the time has come to remove the bottle from the freezer compartment. To silence the alarm buzzer, just press the SELECT button "D". 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.
