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
all compartments or drawers.
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").
In this condition, the
temperature inside the
refrigerator might change
slightly.
Storage of frozen food

the FastFreeze function switched on.
The freezer drawers ensure that it is quick
and easy to find the food package you

HINTS AND TIPS

Hints for energy saving

• Freezer: The internal configuration of
the appliance is the one that ensures
the most efficient use of energy.
• Fridge: Most efficient use of energy is
ensured in the configuration with the
drawers in the bottom part of the
appliance and shelves evenly
distributed. Position of the door bins
does not affect energy consumption.
bottom drawer which needs to be in place
to provide good air circulation.
Keep the food no closer than 15 mm from
the door.
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.
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.

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.
• Freezer: The colder the temperature
setting, the higher the energy
consumption.
• Fridge: Do not set too high temperature
to save energy unless it is required by
the characteristics of the food.
• If the ambient temperature is high and
the temperature control is set to low
