Freezing fresh food
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.
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
compartment or at room temperature, de-
pending on the time available for this opera-
tion.
Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-
zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or
more trays for the production of ice-cubes.
Fill these trays with water, then put them in
the freezer compartment.
Important! Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the trays from the freezer.
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 FROST-
MATIC 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 "X"
compartment, as shown in the figure.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rat-
ing plate, a label located on the inside of
the appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during
this period do not add other food to be fro-
zen.
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 breakdown.
Wine arrangement
The temperature can be adjusted between
+ 6 and + 16°C.
This compartment is ideal for storing and
refining red or white wines for long periods.
Lay the bottles down in such a way that the
corks do not dry.
Keep the wine in the dark. The door is in
anti-UV darkened double glass to protect
the wine from the light in case the appliance
is located in a well-lit place.
Avoid switching the appliance light on too
often or for too long. Wine keeps better in
the dark.
Handle the bottles with care, to avoid agi-
tating the wine.
Follow the recommendations and advice re-
ceived at the time of purchase or given in
the technical documentation regarding the
quality, duration and optimum storage tem-
perature of the wine.
Air circulation
Do not cover the shelves with any protec-
tive material, such as paper, cardboard or
plastic, which may obstruct the air circula-
tion through them.
