4.1 

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

FROSTMATIC function and place the

food to be frozen in the freezer

compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the

two bottom compartments.
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 appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours:

during this period do not add other food

to be frozen.
When the freezing process is completed,

return to the required temperature (see

"FROSTMATIC Function").

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

function turned on.

In the event of accidental

defrosting, for example due

to a power failure, if the

power has been off for

longer that the value shown

in the technical data chart

under "Rising time", the

defrosted food must be

consumed quickly or cooked

immediately and then re-

frozen (after cooling).

4.3 

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to

being used, can be thawed in the

refrigerator compartment 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.
