DAILY USE
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze small amount of fresh foods it is
not necessary to change the present set-
ting.
To freeze fresh food activate the Action
Freeze function 24 hours before placing the
food to be frozen in the freezer compart-
ment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the two
top compartments.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rat-
ing plate, a label located on the inside of
the appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during
this period do not add other food to be fro-
zen.
STORAGE OF FROZEN FOOD
When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least
2 hours.
In the event of accidental defrost-
ing, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off for
longer than the value shown in the
technical characteristics chart un-
der "rising time", the defrosted food
must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately and then re-
frozen (after cooling).
THAWING
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator
compartment or at room temperature, de-
pending on the time available for this oper-
ation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-
zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.
VEGETABLE DRAWER
The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and
vegetables.
Some models have a separator inside the
drawer that can be placed in different posi-
tions to allow for the subdivision best suit-
ed to personal needs.
All parts inside the drawer can be removed
for cleaning purposes.
FREEZING BASKETS
The freezer baskets ensure that it is quick
and easy to find the food package you
want. To gain space, the baskets can be
removed and the food can be put directly
on the shelves. On all shelves, except the
top shelf, it is possible to place food that
protrude 20 mm from the front edge. This
allows maximum use of the available
space.
Do not remove the bottom basket
to ensure correct air circulation.
MOVABLE SHELVES
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the shelves
can be positioned as desired.
Some shelves must be lifted up by the rear
edge to enable them to be removed.
Do not move the glass shelf above
the vegetable drawer to ensure
correct air circulation.
