6. BEFORE FIRST USE

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

6.1 Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first

time, the interior and all internal

accessories should be washed with

lukewarm water and some neutral soap

to remove the typical smell of a brand-

new product, then dried thoroughly.

CAUTION!

Do not use detergents,

abrasive powders, chlorine

or oil-based cleaners as they

will damage the finish.

6.2 Electrical Connection

When you connect the appliance to the

power supply, or it turns on after a power

failure all indicator lights flash once.

Then the appliance returns to the

previous setting.

7. DAILY USE

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

7.1 Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for

freezing fresh food and storing frozen

and deep-frozen food for a long time.
The maximum amount of food that can

be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the

rating plate (refer to "Technical data").

Start the SUPER function 24

hours before placing food in

the appliance.

The freezing process lasts 24 hours,

during this period do not add other food

to be frozen.

7.2 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 at

least 24 hours on the higher settings.

You can remove the basket

to get more storage space.

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

in the technical

characteristics chart under

"rising time", the defrosted

food must be consumed

quickly or cooked

immediately and then re-

frozen (after cooling).

7.3 Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to

being used, can be thawed in the

refrigerator 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.
