Be careful not to place containers (plastic or glass), food
or other objects in direct contact with the cooling area
of the back wall of the refrigerator. This could harm
the food, increase energy consumption and facilitate
the formation of condensate (on food, containers, etc.).

(Fig. 2)
Thanks to the new "Play Zone" bottle rack, you can cool
several bottles, cans and energy drinks quickly to have them
constantly at hand.
How to use the freezer compartment...
For the preparation of food to be frozen, please con-
sult a specialized manual.
Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be re-
frozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24
hours) or to freeze it once again.
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
"M" where the temperature will fall below -18°C, which is
ideal for freezing food properly. Remember that proper con-
servation depends on the speed of freezing.
The maximum amount of food you can freeze per day is
indicated on the data plate situated inside the refrigerator
compartment.
The first time, or after the freezer has been inactive, you can
only freeze food after having let the appliance function at
maximum and the red lamp "B" has come off.
When the appliance is already on, freezing can be done in
two ways:
1. for small quantities, less than the maximum capacity
indicated on the data plate, just press the freezing button
"F" (yellow lamp "D" lit) and insert the food to be frozen.
After 24 hours, or once the optimum temperatures have
been reached, the rapid freezing function will switch itself
off automatically (yellow lamp "D" off).
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 place liquids in contain-
ers without covering them
because this will lead to an
increase in the level of mois-
ture within the refrigerator,
causing the formation of frost.
If the "Play Zone" is placed on the glass shelf, you can store
large and medium sized bottles on it simply by laying the
bottle on the flat rack. This is ideal for storing wine bottles.
When folded and secured in place on either side of the shelf,
the rack can be used to store cans (at the top), energy drinks
(in the centre) and other cans and energy drinks can be rested
horizontally on the remaining part of the shelf. When placing
cans (onto the Play zone rack), make sure they do not
touch the back of the refrigerator interior.
The "Play Zone" can be used just like a normal shelf (when
placed flat) and moved up or down along the fridge walls
together with the rest of the shelf. It can be washed easily,
and is also dishwasher safe. The ideal position for the Play
zone rack is the central shelf.

2. For large quantities of food to be frozen (up until the
maximum load indicated on the data plate), keep the freezing
button "F" pressed down until the yellow lamp starts flashing
quickly. After 24 hours, the yellow lamp will stop flashing
(permanently lit); you can now insert the food to be frozen.
After 24 hours, the button will switch itself off automatically
(yellow lamp off).
During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the
freezer.
In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is recom-
mended that you divide food into small portions so that they
freeze quickly and uniformly. The packages should be clearly
marked with the content and the date they were frozen.
In order to obtain a larger amount of space in the freezer
compartment, you can remove the central drawer, and place
the food directly onto the evaporator plate. Make sure that,
after having inserted the load, the door closes correctly.
Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power failure
or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in tem-
perature within the compartment. If the door is not opened,
frozen and fast-frozen foods will remain in their current state
for approximately 9-14 hours.
Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily
burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze.
