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).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator
compartment or at room temperature, de-
pending on the time available for this opera-
tion.
Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-
zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.
Important!
this appliance is sold in France.
In accordance with regulations valid in this
country it must be provided with a special
device (see figure) placed in the lower com-
partment of the fridge to indicate the cold-
est zone of it.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the shelves
can be positioned as desired.
Important!
Do not move the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer and the bottle
shelf to ensure correct air circulation.
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of vari-
ous sizes, the door shelves can be placed
at different heights.
To make these adjustments proceed as fol-
lows:
gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the
arrows until it comes free, then reposition
as required.
