Place the fresh food to be frozen in the
"X" compartment, as shown in the figure.
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 appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: dur-
ing this period do not add other food to
be frozen.
3.3 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 defrost-
ing, 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).
3.4 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.
3.5 Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or
more trays for the production of ice-
cubes. Fill these trays with water, then put
them in the freezer compartment.
Do not use metallic instruments to
remove the trays from the freezer.
3.6 Cold accumulators
One or more cold accumulators are sup-
plied in the freezer; these increase the
length of time for which food will keep in
the event of a power failure or breakdown.
3.7 Wine arrangement
The temperature can be adjusted be-
tween + 6 and + 16°C.
This compartment is ideal for storing and
refining red or white wines for long peri-
ods.
Lay the bottles down in such a way that
the corks do not dry.
Keep the wine in the dark. The door is in
anti-UV darkened double glass to protect
the wine from the light in case the appli-
ance is located in a well-lit place.
Avoid switching the appliance light on too
often or for too long. Wine keeps better in
the dark.
Handle the bottles with care, to avoid agi-
tating the wine.
Follow the recommendations and advice
received at the time of purchase or given
in the technical documentation regarding
the quality, duration and optimum storage
temperature of the wine.
3.8 Air circulation
Do not cover the shelves with any protec-
tive material, such as paper, cardboard or
plastic, which may obstruct the air circula-
tion through them.
Do not place the bottles at directly against
the back wall of the compartment which
will obstruct the air circulation through
them.
3.9 Storage advice
The storage time for wine depends on
ageing, the type of grapes, alcoholic con-
tent and level of fructose and tannin con-
tained in it. At the time of purchase, check
