Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
If you want freezing small amount of fresh
food, do these steps:
1. Activate the Ambient Switch function.
2. Place the food on the upper drawer of the
freezer compartment.
3. When the freezing process is completed
deactivate the Ambient Switch function.
If you want freezing big quantities of fresh
food, do these steps:
1. Activate the Ambient Switch function at
least 24 hours before placing food.
2. Place the food on the upper drawer of the
freezer compartment.
3. After 24 hours, when the freezing process
is completed, deactivate the Ambient
Switch function.
Warning! The freezing process takes
some hours: during this period do not
add other food to be frozen.
Important! 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.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of
use, before putting the products in the com-
partment let the appliance run at least 2
hours on the higher settings.
If large quantities of food are to be stored,
remove all drawers and baskets from appli-
ance and place food on cooling shelves to
obtain the best performance.
Warning! Make sure that foods do not
exceed the load limit stated on the side
of the upper section (where applicable)
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).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator com-
partment 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.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or more
trays for the production of ice-cubes. Fill

freezer compartment.
Important! Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the trays from the freezer.
