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.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rat-
ing plate
1)
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.
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 un-
der "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 closing
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 immense
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.
STORAGE BASKETS
A B
Hang the baskets on the upper edge of the
freezer (A) or place them inside the freezer
(B). Turn and fix the handles for these two
positions as shown in the picture.
