Do not move the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer to
ensure correct air circulation.
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 FastFreeze
function and place 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
, 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
"FastFreeze Function").
In this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might
drop below 0°C. If this occurs
reset the temperature regulator
to a warmer setting.
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.
WARNING!
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,
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.
VitaSafe Compartment
The storage temperature and the relative
humidity (between 45 and 90 %) provide
optimal conditions for the storage of various
kinds of food.
To learn about the temperature settings in
the VitaSafe compartment please refer to
the “VitaSafe compartment setting” section
VitaSafe compartment is suitable for the

days.
