You can use the freezer compartment
The amount of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours, at an
ambient temperature of +25°C, is indicated on the data plate.
How to operate:
24 hours before freezing fresh food, press the fast freeze
button (6). The freezer compartment operation LED (7) turns
from green to yellow and remains so while this function is
selected (24 h).
Wrap and seal the food in: aluminium foil, cling film,
watertight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or
special freezer containers.
Place food in the top compartment, leaving enough space for
air to circulate around packs. To speed up the freezing
process and increase the compartment capacity remove the
top basket and the ice pack storage drawer (if provided). Put
the already frozen food into the other drawers and the food
still to be frozen directly onto the refrigerator grid. .or more
efficient freezing, use the fast freeze function for the next 24
hours by pressing the button (6) again when the
(7) turns back to green.
When the freezer is only partially full, put all the food in the
central basket and set the knob (4) to HAL. LOAD for energy
saving.
In the event of a power failure, the freezer compartment
maintains the correct storage temperature for about 16 hours.
In models with one or two ice packs, this temperature can be
maintained for about 25/30 hours.
Do not open the freezer compartment door during a power
failure.
Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in
damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package
is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored
under optimal conditions and defrosting may have already
begun.
When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and
transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag.
Place the items in the freezer compartment as soon as you
get home.
If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it.

Respect the best-before date on the package.
