Using the freezer to its full potential

Use the FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/ OFF Knob to adjust the temperature (see Description).

Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24 hours).

Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment where the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing.

Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break.

The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4).

To freeze (if the freezer is already operating):

-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 as many times as necessary for the SUPER FREEZE symbol to start flashing and then press the SELECT button to enable the SUPER FREEZE function. After 24 hours, or once the optimal temperatures have been reached, the rapid freezing function is automatically disabled.

-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 as many times as necessary for the SUPER FREEZE symbol to start flashing and then press the SELECT button for more than three seconds to ensure the function is enabled (symbol SUPER FREEZE function starts to flash slowly). After 24 hours, the function symbol will stop flashing and go back to being permanently lit; you can now insert the food to be frozen. After another 24 hours, the function will be disabled automatically.

!Do not open the door during freezing.

!If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.

ICE trays.

The Easy Ice trays are set into the top part of the freezer drawers to maximise the space within the freezer. The trays are drip-free and sealed to prevent food from tainting the ice cubes.

1.Check that the tray is completely empty and fill it with water through the opening provided.

2.Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to melt and empty the tray).

3.Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments each mould fills with water (see diagram).

4.Close the opening with the lid provided and put the tray back, placing the top part in the corresponding housing and allowing it to drop in again.

5.When the ice has formed (minimum time approximately 8 hours) knock the tray against a hard surface and wet the outside so that the ice cubes come loose and take them out through the opening.
