Use of the freezer compartment

The symbol
long term storage. The temperature may be regulated between -15°C and -24°C. We suggest
setting the temperature to -18°C, which is optimal for energy consumption and frozen
food storage.
Difference between setting temperature and actual temperature is normal.
Especially when:
• a new setting has recently been selected
• the door has been open for a long time
• warm food has been placed in the compartment.
Difference until 5°C inside the compartment are quite normal.
During operation the temperature indicator shows setting value.

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 to provide good air circulation. On all shelves except for the top
shelf it is possible to place food that protrude until load limit stated on the side of the
middle section
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 com-
partment 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.

Your appliance is equipped with a carbon filter behind the air lever flap.
The filter purifies the air from unwanted odours in the fridge compartment preserving food
quality.
On delivery the filter is in a plastic bag. Refer to "Installation of the Clean Air Control filter"
for instructions.
Make sure that the air lever flap is closed to obtain proper function.
