To freeze fresh food activate the Action
freeze function at least 24 hours before
placing 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 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.
When the freezing process is completed,
return to the required temperature (see
"Action freeze Function").
3.6 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.
3.7 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).
3.8 NaturaFresh Compartment
The storage temperature and the relative
humidity (between 45 and 90 %) provide
optimal conditions for the storage of vari-
ous kinds of food.
To learn about the temperature settings in
the NaturaFresh compartment please re-
fer to the "NaturaFresh compartment set-
ting" section
NaturaFresh compartment is suitable for
the storage of a variety of fresh food as it
preserves its high nutritional values as well
as high humidity level much longer in
comparison to the regular refrigerator.
The NaturaFresh compartment is also
suitable for defrosting food.
The thawed food can be stored up to two
days.
3.9 Humidity control
Both drawers can be used according to
the desired storage conditions independ-
ently of each other with lower or higher
humidity.
Regulation for each drawer is separate
and is controlled using the slide valve at
the front of the drawer.
• "Dry": low air humidity - up to 50 % rel-
ative humidity
This humidity level is reached when
both sliders are set into this position
and the ventilation openings are
wide open.
• Humid": high relative humidity - up to
90%
This humidity level is reached when
both sliders are set in this position
and the ventilation openings are
closed. Humidity is kept and can
not escape.
