Vegetable drawer with humidity control
The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and
vegetables.
There is a separator
inside the drawer that
can be placed in dif-
ferent positions to al-
low for the subdivi-
sion best suited to
personal needs.
There is a grille (if
foreseen) on the bot-
tom of the drawer to
separate the fruit and vegetables from any
humidity that may form on the bottom sur-
face.
All parts inside the drawer can be removed
for cleaning purposes
To regulate the hu-
midity in the vegeta-
ble drawer there is a
device with slits (ad-
justable by means of
a sliding lever).
When the ventilation
slots are closed:
the natural moisture
content of the food in
the fruit and vegetable compartments is pre-
served for longer.
When the ventilation slots are opened:
more air circulation results in a lower air mois-
ture content in the fruit and vegetable com-
partments.
Air cooling
The Dynamic Air Cooling (DAC) fan let food
cool quickly and a more uniform temperature
in the compartment.
You can activate the fan by pressing the fan
function switch (refer to "Control panel"). The
fan light comes on.
Important! Switch on the fan when the
ambient temperature exceeds 25°C.
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 Action
Freeze function at least 24 hours before plac-
ing the food to be frozen in the freezer com-
partment.
Move the shelf present in the freezer com-
partment to the middle seat, keeping it hori-
zontal.
Place the fresh food to be frozen on that
shelf.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating
plate, a label located on the inside of the ap-
pliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during
this period do not add other food to be fro-
zen.
After 24 hours, when the freezing process is
completed, return to the required tempera-
ture (refer to "Temperature regulation").
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of
use, before putting the products in the com-
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 in the refrigerator com-
partment or at room temperature, depending
on the time available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,
directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking
will take longer.
