Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the
interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water
and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell
of a brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.

Daily use

Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartments (the second and the third box-
es) are suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen
and deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the fast freeze function.
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.
The freezing tray can be used for freezing small fruits
(raspberry, strawberry, currant, etc.).
Place a thin layer of the unpacked fruits in the tray. Once
they are frozen, the fruits can be packed, sorted and placed
in the storing compartments.

formance remove the freezer tray and drawers (if the
drawer is foreseen) and then place the foods to be
frozen directly on the evaporator. In case of freezing
smaller food volumes do not need to remove the
freezer tray and drawers.
4. Once the food is completely frozen (it may take up to
24 hours) you can manually switch off the fast-freeze
function by pressing the Fast Freeze Switch for 2- 3
seconds and the Yellow Fast Freeze Indicator light
will also go out.
5. Move frozen food from the freezing compartments
into the other three compartments (storing compart-
ments) to make room for another freezing.
If the Fast Freeze Switch is accidentally left on, the
fast-freeze function will be automatically switched
off 48 hours later. The Yellow Fast Freeze Indicator light
will also go out.
Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive powders,
as these will damage the finish.
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 at room temperature.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly
from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.
