5. DAILY USE

5.1 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 food activate the
FastFreeze function at least 24 hours
before placing the food to be frozen in
the freezer compartment.
Store the fresh food evenly distributed in
the first compartment or drawer from the
top.
The maximum amount of food that can
be frozen without adding other fresh food
during 24 hours is specified on the rating
plate (a label located inside the
appliance).
When the freezing process is complete,
the appliance automatically returns to the
previous temperature setting (see
"FastFreeze Function").

5.2 Storage of frozen food

When activating an appliance for the first
time or after a period out of use, before
putting the products in the compartment
let the appliance run at least 3 hours with
the FastFreeze function switched on.
The freezer drawers ensure that it is
quick and easy to find the food package
you want. If large quantities of food are
to be stored, remove all drawers and
place the food on shelves.
Keep the food no closer than 15 mm
from the door.

6. HINTS AND TIPS

6.1 Hints for energy saving

• The internal configuration of the
appliance is the one that ensures the
most efficient use of energy.
CAUTION!
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
on rating plate under "rising
time", the defrosted food
must be consumed quickly
or cooked immediately then
cooled and then re-frozen.
Refer to "High temperature
alarm".
5.3 Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to
being consumed, can be thawed in the
refrigerator or inside a plastic bag under
cold water.
This operation depends on the time
available and on the type of food. Small
pieces may even be cooked still frozen.

5.4 Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or
more trays for the production of ice-
cubes.
Do not use metallic
instruments to remove the
trays from the freezer.
1. Fill these trays with water.
2. Put the ice trays in the freezer
compartment.
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than necessary.
• The colder the temperature setting,
the higher the energy consumption.
• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not
cover the ventilation grilles or holes.
