WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
Initial power on
CAUTION!
Before inserting the power plug in to
the outlet and switching on the cabinet
for the first time, leave the appliance
standing upright for at least 4 hours.
This will assure a sufficient amount of
time for the oil to return to the
compressor. Otherwise the
compressor or electronic components
may sustain damage.
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 with the FastFreeze function turned
on. The freezer drawers 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 drawer which needs to be in
place to provide good air circulation. On all
shelves it is possible to place food that
protrude until 15 mm from the door.
WARNING!
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).
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
setting.
To freeze fresh food activate the
FastFreeze function at least 24 hours
before placing the food to be frozen in the
freezer compartment.
Place the 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
"FastFreeze Function").
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed at room temperature.
Small pieces may even be cooked still
frozen, directly from the freezer: in this
