HOW TO USE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
The freezer compartment
The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate.
Freezing fresh food:
• Press the freeze button (4) 12 hours before placing food in the freezer. The freeze function LED (4) lights up.
• Set the thermostat (1) to 3-4.
• If your appliance is equipped with a grid, position food to be frozen as indicated in Fig. 1, otherwise
position food as illustrated in Fig. 2.
A Arrange the fresh food on the grid, leaving sufficient space around each pack for the air to circulate and
avoiding contact with already frozen food (Fig.1).
B Arrange the food centrally in the compartment
already frozen food. Leave a space of approx. 20 mm around packages (Fig. 2).
• After 24 hours press the button (4) to switch off. Reset the thermostat (1) to the normal position.
When purchasing frozen food products:
• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If
the package is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored under optimal conditions and
defrosting may have already begun.
• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and transport the products in a thermally insulated
cool bag.
• Place the items in the compartment as soon as you get home.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume within 24 hours.
• Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum. Respect the best-before date on the package.
• Always observe the storage information on the package.
Making ice cubes
• Fill the ice cube tray 2/3 full and place it in the compartment
• Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to detach the tray if it is stuck to the freezer bottom
• Bend the ice tray slightly to remove the cubes.
