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 FROST-
MATIC function at least 24 hours before
placing the food to be frozen in the freez-
er compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rat-
ing plate (Refer to "Technical data").
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: dur-
ing 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, before putting the products in
the compartment let the appliance run at
least 2 hours on the higher settings.
In the event of accidental defrost-
ing, 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).
OPENING AND CLOSING THE
LID
As the lid is equipped with a tightly clos-
ing seal, it is not easy to reopen it shortly
after closing (due to the vacuum formed
inside).
Wait a few minutes before reopening the
appliance. The vacuum valve will help you
to open the lid.
WARNING!
Never pull the handle with im-
mense force.
LOW FROST SYSTEM
The appliance is equipped with Low frost
System (you can see a valve inside the
freezer in the backside) what reduces ice-
build-up in the chest freezer by up to 80
percent. That means for you up to 5 years
without defrosting.
STORAGE BASKETS

the freezer (A) or place them inside the

ture.

your local Service Centre.
