To use the col cuts/cheese box, unhook it and remove it

from the shelf. To optimise space according to your needs,

the same can be moved laterally (Fig. 2).

The side bottle rack can be used either for storing bottles

(Fig. 3) as well as several cans (2-4) placed horizontally. If

not in use, the bottle/can rack can be tipped up and away to

make more room inside the refrigerator.

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

"Q" 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, just press the freezing button

"G" (yellow lamp "E" lit) and insert the food to be frozen.

After 24 hours, or once the optimum temperatures have

been reached, the rapid freezing function will switch itself

off automatically (yellow lamp "E" off).

Using the "Fresh box" compartment for meat

and fish

This compartment was designed to allow for longer

preservation times for fresh meat and fish (for as long as a

week).

This is possible as the coldest temperature of the entire fridge

is available inside this specific compartment.

The clear protective door to open the compartment avoids

any oxidation or blackening to occur, which are typical of

meat and fish when exposed to air.

Moreover, the "Fresh box" compartment can also be used

to cool dishes that are normally eaten "cold", such as melon

and Parma ham, figs and ham, mozzarella and tomatoes.

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

maximum load indicated on the data plate), keep the freezing

button "G" pressed down until the yellow lamp starts flashing

quickly. After 24 hours, the yellow lamp will stop flashing

(permanently lit); you can now insert the food to be frozen.

After 24 hours, the button will switch itself off automatically

(yellow lamp off).

During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the

freezer.

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

ommended 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.
