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 QuickFreeze
function 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 rating 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 frozen.
When the freezing process is completed, return
to the required temperature (see "QuickFreeze
Function").

Hints and tips

The following sounds are normal during
operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from
coils sound when refrigerant is pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from the
compressor when refrigerant is pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside
appliance caused by thermic dilatation (a
natural and not dangerous physical
phenomenon).

CAUTION!
Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage the
finish.
compartment let the appliance run at least 2
hours on the higher settings.
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 in the
technical characteristics chart under
"rising time", the defrosted food
must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately and then re-
frozen (after cooling).
Cold accumulators
The freezer contains at least one cold
accumulator which increases storage time in
the event of a power cut or breakdown.
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.
• A faint click noise from the temperature
regulator when the compressor switches on
or off.
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If foreseen, do not remove the cold
accumulators from the freezer basket.
