Using the freezer to its full potential

• 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).

• 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.
! If the room temperature drops below 10°C for an

extended period of time, the ideal temperature will not

be reached in the freezer compartment and food

preservation will be reduced.

ice tray

The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer

drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no longer

comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer

compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the water during

filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after filling with

water is also provided).
1. Pull out the tray by pushing it up.

Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with

water through the opening provided.

2. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX

WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes

from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to

melt and empty the tray).

3. Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments

each mould fills with water (see diagram).

4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the

tray back.

5. When the ice has formed (minimum time

approximately 8 hours) knock the tray against a hard

surface and wet the outside so that the ice cubes

come loose and take them out through the opening.
