- Air in the refrigerator circulates naturally so that cold heavier
air tends to fall towards the bottom. This is why meat and
cheese should be stored in drawer "M", just above the crisper.
- Remember to follow our instructions on the storage life of
foods: If not stored correctly, even the freshest food will
deteriorate quite quickly.
- Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not keep longer
than fresh food.
- The refrigerator compartment of your appliance is fitted
with practical removable shelves (Fig. 1) whose height can
be adjusted to allow storage of large containers. This shelves
can also be tilted for storage of opened bottles.
- Remember to cool hot food before storing otherwise the
temperature inside the appliance will increase, causing the
compressor to work harder and use more energy.
- Do not store liquids in unsealed containers since this will
increase the humidity and lead to the formation of frost in
the refrigerator.
- The fittings on the inside of the door offer maximum flex-
ibility and convenience, and the easy-to-remove door shelves
make cleaning extremely easy (Fig, 2).

Freezing
- To package foods for freezing, consult a specialized
manual.
- There is no need to defrost the freezer since the "venti-
lated cold air" cooling system prevents the formation of frost
and ice on the walls. Moreover, frost does not form on the
packets of frozen foods which will therefore not stick to-
gether and will be easy for you to recognise.
- Remember that you should never re-freeze products you
have allowed to thaw, even if only partially: cook the food,
then either eat (within 24 hours) or re-freeze it.
- When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should not
touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place
the food that you wish to freeze in the top compartment
where the temperature will fall below -18°C, ideal for freez-
ing food properly. Remember that proper conservation de-
pends on the speed of freezing.
- Do not open the freezer door during freezing.
- Freeze only the quantities (in kg) shown on the data plate
on the left of the crisper.
-The first time you use your freezer, or if you have not run
the freezer for some time, allow the appliance to run until
red LED "B" turns off before storing your food.

To preserve meat, place the cover as indicated in Fig. A.
To preserve cheese, overturn the cover and place it as indi-
cated in Fig. B.
This box is not supplied with some models.
- To freeze foods when the freezer is running follow these
steps: to freeze small quantities of food (under the maxi-
mum quantity shown on the data plate) set switch "E" to
when you store the food. For large quantities, set the
switch to
24 hours before storing the food that you wish
to freeze.
- When foods are frozen, normally after about 24 hours, al-
ways remember to return the fast freezing switch "E" to its
original position (yellow light "C" OFF) since this will save
energy..
- For the best conservation and defrosting, remember to freeze
small portions; this will ensure rapid and uniform freezing.
Mark the freezing date and description of the contents on
the package, as shown in the table.
- In the case of power failure or breakdown, do not open the
freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside
the freezer ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9-
14 hours.
- Do not store full bottles in the freezer since they could
explode when they freeze. (Remember that liquids increase
in volume when frozen).
- Fill the ice trays so that they are no more than 3/4 full.
