Daily use

Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartments (the first and the
second boxes) are 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.
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 appli-
ance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this
period do not add other food to be frozen.
The freezing tray can be used for freezing small
fruits (raspberry, strawberry, currant, etc.).
Place a thin layer of the unpacked fruits in the
tray. Once they are frozen, the fruits can be
packed, sorted and placed in the storing com-
partments.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of
use, before putting the products in the com-

Helpful Hints and Tips

Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear a faint gurgling and a bubbling
sound when the refrigerant is pumped
through the coils or tubing. This is correct.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is
being pumped around and you will hear a
whirring sound and a pulsating noise from
the compressor. This is correct.
• The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden
cracking noise. It is natural, not dangerous
physical phenomenon. This is correct.
• When the compressor switches on or
switches off, you will hear a faint "click" of
the temperature regulator. This is correct.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which can be
frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;
30
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 at room temperature.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,
directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking
will take longer.
• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No fur-
ther food to be frozen should be added dur-
ing this period;
• only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly
cleaned, foodstuffs;
• prepare food in small portions to enable it to
be rapidly and completely frozen and to make
it possible subsequently to thaw only the
quantity required;
• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or poly-
thene and make sure that the packages are
airtight;
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch
food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a
rise in temperature of the latter;
• lean foods store better and longer than fatty
ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;
• water ices, if consumed immediately after re-
moval from the freezer compartment, can
possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
