WARNING!
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).
5.2 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 small amount of fresh foods it
is not necessary to change the present
setting.
To freeze fresh food activate the
FROSTMATIC function at least 24 hours
before placing the food to be frozen in
the freezer compartment.
Place the food to be frozen in the two
top compartments.
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
"FROSTMATIC Function").
5.3 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.
5.4 Temperature indicator
For proper storage of food the
refrigerator is equipped with the
temperature indicator. The symbol on
the side wall of the appliance indicates
the coldest area in the refrigerator.
If “OK” is displayed (A), put fresh food
into area indicated by symbol, if not (B),
adjust the temperature controller to a
colder setting and wait 12 hours before
checking the temperature indicator
again.

or for a long period, it is
normal for the indicator not
to show "OK"; wait at least
12 hours before readjusting
the temperature controller.

The freezer contains at least one cold
accumulator which increases storage
time in the event of a power cut or
breakdown.
