In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due
to a power failure, if the

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-

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.
