Daily use

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 Action Freeze
function at least 24 hours before placing the food
to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can be frozen
in 24 hours is specified on the 

rating plate

3)

The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this
period do not add other food to be frozen.

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 2 hours on the higher
settings.

Important!

  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).

Care and cleaning

Caution!

  Unplug the appliance before

carrying out any maintenance operation.

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its
cooling unit; maintenance and recharging

must therefore only be carried out by authorized
technicians.

Defrosting the freezer

Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a
thickness of about 10-15 mm.
The best time to defrost the freezer when it con-
tains no or only a little food.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1. Switch off the appliance.

2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several lay-

ers of newspaper and put it in a cool place.

3. Leave the lid open , remove the plug from the

defrost water drain and collect all defrost water
on a tray. Use a scraper to remove ice quickly.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior

thoroughly and refit the plug.

5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain the

maximum coldness and run the appliance for
two or three hours using this setting.

7. Reload the previously removed food into the

compartment.
