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 and place the food to be frozen in the
freezer compartment.
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").
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 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).

trays for the production of ice-cubes.
Do not use metallic instruments to
remove the trays from the freezer.

2. Put the ice trays in the freezer compartment.
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 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).
