Important! At start-up the displayed temperature don't correspond with the set temperature until stabilised (within 24 hours).

Difference between the temperature displayed and temperature setting is normal. Especially when:

a new setting has recently been selected

the door has been left open for a long time

warm food has been placed in the

compartment.

Difference until 5°C inside the compartment are quite normal.

During normal functioning the indicator shows the warmest temperature inside the compartment.

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 on the higher settings.

If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and baskets from appliance and place food on cooling shelves to obtain the best performance.

Warning! Make sure that foods do not exceed the load limit stated on the side of the upper section (where

applicable)

Important! In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer that the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under "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, depending on the time available for this operation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.

Cold accumulators

The freezer contains at least one cold accumulator which increases storage time in the event of a power cut or breakdown.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with water, then put them in the freezer compartment.

Important! Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.
