Turn the temperature knob to higher set-
tings to obtain maximum cold tempera-
ture.
We recommend that you set a
medium cold temperature.
The conditions that follow can have an ef-
fect on the temperature setting.
• The room temperature and the location
where the appliance is installed.
• How frequently the opening of the ap-
pliance door occurs.
• The quantity of food that is in the appli-
ance.

DAILY USE
4.1
Freezing the fresh food
The freezer is applicable to freeze fresh
food and for the storage of frozen food
and of deep-frozen food.
If the temperature knob is set at a
medium position, it is not neces-
sary to change the setting.
If you want to freeze the food
more quickly, set the temperature
knob at a higher position. In this
condition, the temperature of the
fridge can decrease to 0 °C and
more. If this occurs, set the tem-
perature knob to a lower position.
4.2
Storage of frozen food
Do not put immediately frozen food in the
freezer if the appliance is new or was de-
activated for a period of time.
Set the temperature knob at the highest
position and let the appliance operate for
minimum 2 hours.
A power failure can cause the de-
frosting of the freezer.
If the power was off, for a period
of time longer than the “Rising
Time” value, you must use or
cook immediately the defrosted
food. Refer to “TECHNICAL IN-
FORMATION” for the value.
You can freeze the cooked food
when it becomes cool.
4.3
Thawing
Before you cook frozen food or deep-fro-
zen food, thaw the food in the fridge or at
room temperature.
It is possible to cook small quantities of
frozen food directly from the freezer, but
this increases the cooking time.
4.4
Glass shelves
You can put the glass shelves at differ-
ent heights.
