First use
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.
Important! 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.
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 necessa-
ry to change the present setting.
To freeze fresh food activate the Fast Freeze function
24 hours before placing the food to be frozen in the
freezer compartment.
It is possible to place the fresh food to be frozen in all
compartments except the lowest.
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.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, be-
fore putting the products in the compartment let the ap-
pliance 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 possible to place food that protrude 15 mm
from the door.
Important! 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).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be
thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room tem-
perature, depending on the time available for this oper-
ation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly
from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.
Removal of freezing baskets from the freezer
The freezing baskets have a limit stop to prevent their
accidental removal or falling out. At the time of its re-
moval from the freezer, pull the basket towards yourself
and, upon reaching the end point, remove the basket
by tilting its front upwards.
At the time of putting it back, slightly lift the front of the
basket to insert it into the freezer. Once you are over
the end points, push the baskets back in their position.
