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.
For a faster freezing operation, turn the
temperature regulator toward maximum at
least 24 hours before placing the food to
be frozen in the freezer compartment.
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.
Turn back the temperature regula-
tor to the previous setting 24 hours
after the food was placed in the
freezer 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.
The freezer baskets ensure that it is quick
and easy to find the food package you
want. If large quantities of food are to be
stored, remove all drawers except for the
bottom basket which needs to be in place
REMOVAL OF FREEZING BASKETS FROM THE FREEZER
to provide good air circulation. On all
shelves except for the top shelf it is possi-
ble to place food that protrude 15 mm from
the door.
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.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Before using the appliance for the first time,
wash the interior and all internal accesso-
ries with lukewarm water and some neutral
soap so as to remove the typical smell of a
brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.
The freezing baskets have a limit stop to
prevent their accidental removal or falling
out. At the time of its removal from the
freezer, pull the basket towards yourself
and, upon reaching the end point, remove
2
the basket by tilting its front upwards.
At the time of putting it back, slightly lift the
1
front of the basket to insert it into the freez-
er. Once you are over the end points, push
the baskets back in their position.
In the event of accidental defrost-
ing, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off for
longer that 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).
Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage the
finish.
