4. DAILY USE

4.1 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 foods it is not necessary
to change the medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation,
turn the temperature regulator toward
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.
In this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might
drop below 0°C. If this occurs re-
set the temperature regulator to a
warmer setting.
Place the fresh food to be frozen on the
top compartment.
4.2 Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, before putting the products in the
4.4 Temperature indicator

compartment let the appliance run at least
2 hours on the higher settings.
In the event of accidental defrost-
ing, 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).
4.3 Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator
compartment or at room temperature, de-
pending on the time available for this op-
eration.
Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-
zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.
To assist you in controlling your appliance
correctly we have fitted a temperature in-
dicator to your refrigerator.
The symbol at the side indicates the cold-
est area in the refrigerator.
The coldest area goes from the glass
shelf of the fruit and vegetable drawer to
the symbol or to the shelf positioned at
the same height of the symbol.
For proper storage of the food, ensure
that the temperature indicator is display-
ing the "OK" message.
If "OK" is not displayed adjust the temper-
ature controller to a colder setting and
wait 12 hours before checking the tem-
perature indicator again.
After putting fresh food into the appliance
or after opening the door repeatedly for a
long period, it is normal for the "OK" mes-
sage to disappear.
