To freeze fresh food activate the FROSTMATIC 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.

To utilize the maximum quantity indicated on the rating plate, remove all the drawers from

the freezer compartment.

To guarantee the best functionality and perform-

ance of the appliance, the food must be not

placed in contact with the back wall of the freezer

in the area as shown in the figure.

Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up 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

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator compart-

ment 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.
