5. DAILY USE

5.1 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
Freeze 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
two top compartments.
The maximum amount of food that can
be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the
rating plate, a label located on the in-
side of the appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: dur-
ing this period do not add other food to
be frozen.
After 24 hours, when the freezing proc-
ess is completed, return to the required
temperature (see "Temperature regula-
tion").

5.2 Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period
out of use, before putting the products
in the compartment let the appliance run
at least 2 hours on the higher settings.

6. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which
can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on

frosting, for example due to a
power failure, if the power has
been off for longer than the val-
ue shown in the technical charac-
teristics chart under "rising
time", the defrosted food must
be consumed quickly or cooked
immediately and then re-frozen
(after cooling).
5.3 Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be-
ing used, can be thawed at room tem-
perature.
Small pieces may even be cooked still
frozen, directly from the freezer: in this
case, cooking will take longer.

5.4 Cold accumulators

One or more cold accumulators are sup-
plied in the freezer; these increase the
length of time for which food will keep in
the event of a power failure or break-
down.
