6.9 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 fresh food activate the Extra
Freeze function at least 3 hours before
placing the food to be frozen in the
freezer compartment.
Store the fresh food evenly distributed in
the first and second compartment or
drawer from the top.
The maximum amount of food that can
be frozen without adding other fresh food
during 24 hours is specified on the rating
plate (a label located inside the
appliance).
6.10 Storage of frozen food
When activating an appliance for the first
time or after a period out of use, before
putting the products in the compartment
let the appliance run at least 3 hours with
the Extra Freeze function switched on.
7. HINTS AND TIPS
7.1 Hints for energy saving
• Freezer: The internal configuration of
the appliance is the one that ensures
the most efficient use of energy.
• Fridge: Most efficient use of energy is
ensured in the configuration with the
drawers in the bottom part of the
appliance and shelves evenly
distributed. Position of the door bins
does not affect energy consumption.
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than necessary.
Keep the food no closer than 15 mm
from the door.
CAUTION!
In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due
to a power failure, if the
power has been off for
longer than the value shown
on rating plate under "rising
time", the defrosted food
must be consumed quickly
or cooked immediately then
cooled and then re-frozen.
6.11 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.
6.12 Ice-cube tray
This appliance is equipped with one or
more trays for the production of ice-
cubes.
Do not use metallic
instruments to remove the
trays from the freezer
compartment.
1. Fill the ice-cube trays with water.
2. Put them in the freezer compartment.
• Freezer: The colder the temperature
setting, the higher the energy
consumption.
• Fridge: Do not set too high
temperature to save energy unless it
is required by the characteristics of
the food.
• If the ambient temperature is high and
the temperature control is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice
formation on the evaporator. In this
case, set the temperature control
toward higher temperature to allow
