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 except for the bottom drawer which
needs to be in place to provide good air circula-
tion. 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 Fast Freezing
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 Fast Freezing func-
tion (see "Fast Freezing 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.
Movable shelves

frigerator are equip-
ped with a series of
runners so that the
shelves can be posi-
tioned as desired.

The refrigerator com-
partment is equipped
with a device that al-

quick temperature re-
covering after door
opening or when the
ambient temperature
is high.
Allows you to switch on the device manually by
activating the Shopping function when needed.
