Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the door shelves can be
placed at different heights.
1. Gradually pull the shelf up until it
comes free.
2. Reposition as required.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the
shelves can be positioned as desired.
Do not move the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer to
ensure correct air circulation.
Freezing and storage of frozen
food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
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.
To freeze fresh food place it in the top
compartment.
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 frozen.
When the freezing process is completed,
you can restore previously set
temperature.
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,
depending on the time available for this
operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still
frozen, 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.
Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the trays from the
freezer.
1. Fill these trays with water
2. Put the ice trays in the freezer
compartment.
