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 Freeze function at
least 24 hours before placing the food to be frozen in
the freezer compartment.

ments.
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.
After 24 hours, when the freezing process is completed,
return to the required temperature (see "Temperature reg-
ulation").
Storage of frozen food

fore putting the products in the compartment let the ap-
pliance run at least 12 hours on the Fast Freeze setting.
If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all
drawers and baskets from appliance and place food on
cooling shelves to obtain the best performance.
