4. DAILY USE

4.1 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 op-
eration.
Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-
zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.

4.2 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 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.
2. The FreeStore indicator is shown.
To switch off the function:
1. Press the Mode button until the Free-
Store indicator flashes.
2. The FreeStore indicator goes off.
If the function is activated auto-
matically the FreeStore indicator is
not shown (refer to "Daily use").
The activation of the FreeStore
mode increases the energy con-
sumption.

3.16 Door open alarm

An acoustic alarm will sound if the door is
left open for a few minutes. The door
open alarm conditions are indicated by:
• flashing Alarm indicator
• acoustic buzzer
When normal conditions are restored
(door closed), the alarm will stop.
During the alarm, the buzzer can be
switched off by pressing any button.
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
under "rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed quickly
or cooked immediately and then
re-frozen (after cooling).

4.3 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 Fast
Freezing 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
bottom compartment.
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 fridge.
