FIRST USE

Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time,
wash the interior and all internal accesso-
ries 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 abra-
sive powders, as these will damage the fin-
ish.

If “dEMo” appears on the Display, the
appliance is in demonstration mode:
refer to “WHAT TO DO IF...” paragraph.

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 fresh food activate the Action
Freeze 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 fro-
zen.

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.

Important! 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).

Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator
compartment or at room temperature, de-
pending on the time available for this opera-
tion.
Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-
zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.

Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or
more trays for the production of ice-cubes.
Fill these trays with water, then put them in
the freezer compartment.

Important! Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the trays from the freezer.

Cold accumulators
The freezer contains at least one cold accu-
mulator which increases storage time in the
event of a power cut or breakdown.
