Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated.
To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:
• turn the Temperature regulator toward lower
settings to obtain the minimum coldness.
• turn the Temperature regulator toward higher
settings to obtain the maximum coldness.
The intermediate position is usually the most
suitable.
However, the exact setting should be chosen
keeping in mind that the temperature inside the
appliance depends on:
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
Daily use
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of
use, before putting the products in the com-
partment let the appliance run at least 2 hours.
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 except for the bottom drawer which
needs to be in place to provide good air circu-
lation. On all shelves it is possible to place food
that protrude until 15 mm from the door.
Important! In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if
the power has been off for longer that 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).
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 Fast Freezing
function at least 24 hours before placing the
food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the top
compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can be fro-
zen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate,
a label located on the inside of the fridge.

Fast Freeze function
To activate the Fast Freeze function, press the
Fast Freeze switch.
The Fast Freeze light will light up.
Excessive Temperature Alarm
In the event of an abnormal temperature rise in-
side the freezer (e.g. power cut) alarm light
comes on.
When normal conditions are restored the alarm
light will switch off automatically.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this
period do not add other food to be frozen.
After 24 hours, when the freezing process is
completed, deactivate the Fast Freezing func-
tion (see "Fast Freezing function").
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.
Removal of freezing baskets from the
freezer
The freezing baskets have a limit stop to pre-
vent their accidental removal or falling out. At
the time of its removal from the freezer, pull the
basket towards yourself and, upon reaching the
end point, remove the basket by tilting its front
upwards.
At the time of putting it back, slightly lift the
front of the basket to insert it into the freezer.
Once you are over the end points, push the
baskets back in their position.
