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 small amount of fresh foods it is
not necessary to change the present set-
ting.
To freeze fresh food activate the FROST-
MATIC function at least 24 hours before
placing the food to be frozen in the freez-
er compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in all
compartments except the bottom drawer.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rat-
ing plate, a label located on the inside of
the appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: dur-
ing this period do not add other food to
be frozen.
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 2 hours.
The freezer baskets ensure that it is quick
and easy to find the food package you
want. If large quantities of food are to be
stored, remove all drawers except for the
bottom basket which needs to be in place
to provide good air circulation. On all
shelves except for the top shelf it is possi-
ble to place food that protrude 15 mm
from the door.
In the event of accidental defrost-
ing, 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 be-
ing used, can be thawed in the refrigera-
tor compartment or at room temperature,
depending on the time available for this
operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-
zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Before using the appliance for the first
time, wash the interior and all internal ac-
cessories with lukewarm water and some
neutral soap so as to remove the typical
smell of a brand-new product, then dry
thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage the
finish.
Check that the drain hose at the rear of
the cabinet discharges into the drip tray
