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 compartments.
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 regulation").
Storage of frozen food
When first startingup or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the com-
partment let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.
In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has
been off for longer than 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).
Frozen Food Calendar
The symbols show different types of frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods.
Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the
quality of the foods and treating before freezing.
Thawing
Deepfrozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed at room temperature.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking
will take longer.
Cold accumulators
One or more cold accumulators are supplied in the freezer; these increase the length of
time for which food will keep in the event of a power failure or breakdown.
