Using the freezer to its full potential

Use the FREEZER OPERATION knob to adjust the

temperature (see Description).

Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already

been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten

(within 24 hours).

Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into

contact with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh

food must be stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE

compartment where the temperature drops below -18°C

and guarantees rapid freezing.

Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and

which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer

because they could break.

The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is

indicated on the plate containing the technical properties

located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator

compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4).

To freeze (if the freezer is already operating):

- for small quantities which are less than half the

figure indicated on the data plate, press the rapid

freezing SUPER FREEZE button (the corresponding

yellow indicator light illuminates), place the food

inside and close the door. The function is disabled

automatically after 24 hours or when optimal

temperatures have been reached (indicator light

goes out);

- for large quantities which are greater than half the

figure indicated on the data plate, hold down the

rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button until the

corresponding indicator light begins to flash. After

another 24 hours, the function will be disabled

automatically (indicator light goes out).

In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the

freezer compartment, you may remove the bins

(except the lowest bin and the special COOL CARE

ZONE bin, which has an adjustable temperature)

and place the food directly onto the evaporator

plates.

! Do not open the door during freezing.
! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the

freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature

inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for

at least 9 -14 hours.
