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 setting.
To freeze fresh food activate the QuickFreeze
function at least 24 hours before placing the
food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
Place the food to be frozen in the
FROSTMATIC compartment.
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.
When the freezing process is completed, return
to the required temperature (see "QuickFreeze
Function").
In this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might
drop below 0°C. If this occurs reset
the temperature regulator to a
warmer setting.
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.
WARNING!
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).
DYNAMICAIR
The refrigerator compartment is equipped with a
device that allows for rapid cooling of foods and
more uniform temperature in the compartment.
This device activates by itself when needed, for
example for a quick temperature recovering
after door opening or when the ambient
temperature is high.
It is possible to switch on the device manually
when needed (refer to "DYNAMICAIR
function").
The DYNAMICAIR device stops
when the door is open and restarts
immediately after the door closing.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or more
trays for the production of ice-cubes.
Do not use metallic instruments to
remove the trays from the freezer.
1. Fill these trays with water
2. Put the ice trays in the freezer compartment.
Cold accumulators
The freezer contains at least one cold
accumulator which increases storage time in
the event of a power cut or breakdown.
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.
