Daily use
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of
use, before putting the products in the compart-
ment let the appliance run at least 2 hours.
The freezer drawers ensure that it is quick and
easy to find the food package you want. If large
quantities of food are to be stored remove all
drawers . On all shelves it is possible to place
food that protrude until 15 mm from the door.
Important!
In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if
the power has been off for longer that 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).
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 Quick Chill
function at least 24 hours before placing the
food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the bottom
compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can be frozen
in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate, a la-
bel located on the inside of the fridge.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this
period do not add other food to be frozen.
After 24 hours, when the freezing process is
completed, deactivate the Quick Chill function
(see "Quick Chill function").
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.
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of
food packages of var-
ious sizes, the door
shelves can be
placed at different
heights.
Gradually pull the
shelf in the direction
of the arrows until it
comes free, then re-
position as required

Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be
positioned as desired.
Removal of freezing baskets from the
freezer
The freezing baskets have a limit stop to prevent
their accidental removal or falling out. At the
time of its removal from the freezer, pull the bas-
ket towards yourself and, upon reaching the end
point, remove the basket by tilting its front up-
wards.
At the time of putting it back, slightly lift the front
of the basket to insert it into the freezer. Once
you are over the end points, push the baskets
back in their position.
