Do not move the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer to
ensure correct air circulation.
Vegetable drawers
There are special drawers in the bottom
part of the appliance suitable for storage
of fruits and vegetables.
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
FastFreeze function at least 24 hours
before placing the food to be frozen in the
freezer compartment.
Store the fresh food evenly distributed in
all compartments or drawers.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen without adding other fresh food
during 24 hours is specified on the rating
plate (a label located inside the
appliance).
When the freezing process is complete,
the appliance automatically returns to the
previous temperature setting (see
"FastFreeze Function").
In this condition, the
temperature inside the
refrigerator might change
slightly.
Storage of frozen food
When activating an appliance for the first
time or after a period out of use, before
putting the products in the compartment
let the appliance run at least 3 hours with
the FastFreeze function switched 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 and place the
food on shelves.
Keep the food no closer than 15 mm from
the door.
CAUTION! 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 on
rating plate under "rising time",
the defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked
immediately then cooled and
then re-frozen.
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
consumed, can be thawed in the
refrigerator or inside a plastic bag under
cold water.
This operation depends on the time
available and on the type of food. Small
pieces may even be cooked still frozen.

This appliance is equipped with one or
more trays for the production of ice-cubes.
Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the trays from the
freezer.
1. Fill these trays with water.
2. Put the ice trays in the freezer
compartment.
