4. DAILY USE
4.1 Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first
time, wash the interior 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.
Do not use detergents or
abrasive powders, as these
will damage the finish.
4.2 Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen
and deep-frozen food for a long time.
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.
1. To freeze fresh food activate the
FROSTMATIC function at least 24
hours before placing the food to be
frozen in the freezer compartment.
2. Place the fresh food to be frozen in
the FROSTMATIC compartment.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours:
during this period do not add other food
to be frozen.
4.3 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 on the higher settings.
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)
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).
4.4 Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to
being used, can be thawed in the
refrigerator compartment or at room
temperature, 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.
4.5 Temperature Indicator
CAUTION!
This appliance is sold in
France. In accordance with
regulations valid in this
country it must be provided
with a special device (see
