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.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays

for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with

water, then put them in the freezer compartment.

Do not use metallic instruments to remove the

trays from the freezer.

Freezing fresh food

The 4-star compartment is suitable for

long term storage of commercially frozen food, and

for freezing fresh food.

To freeze fresh foods turn the fast freezing knob at

least 24 hours before introducing the food into the

freezer in order to ensure better freezing results.

Place the food to be frozen in the compartment as

shown in figure.

In order to freeze the quantity indicated on the rating

plate, arrange the food directly in contact with the

cooling surfaces. If the food is frozen in the baskets,

the maximum quantity freezable is slightly less.

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 Òrising timeÓ, the

defrosted food must be consumed quickly or

cooked immediately and then refrozen (after

cooling).

Frozen food storage

When the freezer is being turned on for the first

time, or after a prolonged period of disuse, turn the

N/S knob to the Quick-freezing position and then

wait at least two hours before introducing the food to

be conserved. You may then return the knob to the

ÇNÈ position. This two-hour waiting period may be

avoided if the freezer has already been in operation.

To obtain the best performance from this appliance,

you should:

if large quantities of food are to be stored, remove

all drawers and baskets from appliance (except for

the last one at the bottom) and place food on cooling

shelves.

Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated

on the side of the upper section (where applicable).

Cold accumulator

A cold accumulator is supplied in the freezer; this

increases the length of time for which food will keep

in the event of a power failure or breakdown. It must

be placed in the top drawer.
