How to use the freezer compartment...

For the preparation of food to be frozen, please con-

sult a specialized manual.

Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be re-

frozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24

hours) or to freeze it once again.

When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should not

touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place

the food that you wish to freeze in the top compartment

"I" where the temperature will fall below -18°C, which is

ideal for freezing food properly. Remember that proper con-

servation depends on the speed of freezing.

The maximum amount of food you can freeze per day is

indicated on the data plate situated inside the refrigerator

compartment.

The first time, or after the freezer has been inactive, you can

only freeze food after having let the appliance function at

maximum. When the appliance is already on, freezing can

be done in two ways:

1. For small quantities, less than the maximum capacity

indicated on the data plate (situated on the lower left, next

to the salad crisper), enable the SUPER FREEZE function on

the display in the "24 hour" mode and insert the food to be

frozen. To enable the function, press the MODE button "C"

as many times as necessary for the SUPER FREEZE symbol

to start flashing and then press the SELECT "B" button to

enable the

function. After 24 hours, or once the optimal

temperatures have been reached, the rapid freezing function

is automatically disabled.

2. For large quantities of food to be frozen (up until the

maximum load indicated on the data plate situated on the

lower left, next to the salad crisper), enable the SUPER

FREEZE function on the display in the "48 hours" mode: To

enable the function, press the MODE button "C" as many

times as necessary for the SUPER FREEZE symbol to start

flashing and then press the SELECT "B" button for more

than three seconds to ensure the function is enabled (symbol

starts to flash slowly).

During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the

freezer.

In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is recom-

mended that you divide food into small portions so that they

freeze quickly and uniformly. The packages should be clearly

marked with the content and the date they were frozen.

In order to obtain a larger amount of space in the freezer

compartment, you can remove the central drawer, and place

the food directly onto the evaporator plate. Make sure that,

after having inserted the load, the door closes correctly.

Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power failure

or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in tem-

perature within the compartment. If the door is not opened,

frozen and fast-frozen foods will remain in their current state

for approximately 9-14 hours.

Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily

burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze.

To cool drinks down quickly.

Thanks to the special ICE PARTY function, you will no longer

have to deal with the problem of finding broken bottles

placed to cool inside the freezer compartment (all liquids,

upon freezing, expand and increase in volume). Once you

have enabled this function, the appliance itself will inform

you in the form of an alarm buzzer that the time has come

to remove the bottle from the freezer compartment. To

silence the alarm buzzer, just press the SELECT button "D".

Do not forget to use the ergonomic bucket provided to store

the bottle inside the freezer compartment; as well as

accelerating the cooling process of the same, once it is time

to serve it at the table, you can take it there easily thanks to

the special handles and keep it cool at length at the table.

WARNING: always keep the bucket provided for the bottle

inside the freezer compartment (even when you don't have

bottles to cool); only this way can the low temperature of

the liquid be guaranteed in a short amount of time.
