Removal of freezing baskets from the
freezer
The freezing baskets
have a limit stop to
prevent their acciden-
tal removal or falling
out.
At the time of its re-
moval from the freezer,
pull the basket to-
wards yourself (1) and,
upon reaching the end
point, remove the basket by tilting its front up-
wards (2).
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.
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for freez-
ing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-
frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to
change the medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation, turn
the temperature regulator toward higher set-
tings to obtain the maximum coldness.
Important! In this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might drop below
0°C. If this occurs reset the temperature
regulator to a warmer setting.
Place the fresh food to be frozen on the top
compartment.

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
on the higher settings.
Important! In the event of accidental
defrosting, 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).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator com-
partment 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.
