Initial power on
Caution! Before inserting the power plug
in to the outlet and switching on the
cabinet for the first time, leave the
appliance standing upright for at least 4
hours. This will assure a sufficient
amount of time for the oil to return to the
compressor. Otherwise the compressor
or electronic components may sustain
damage.
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 with the QuickFreeze
function turned on.
If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all
drawers from appliance and place food on glass shelf to
obtain the best performance.
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 data chart
under "Rising time", the defrosted food
must be consumed quickly or cooked
immediately and then re-frozen (after
cooling).
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 fresh food to be frozen in the bottom
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.
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.
