First use
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the inte-
rior 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.
Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as
these will damage the finish.
Daily use
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.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the two top compart-
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
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before
putting the products in the compartment let the appliance
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.
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 compartment or at room temper-
ature, 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.
