This function stops automatically after 52 hours. It is possible to deactivate the function at any time by pressing the FastFreeze switch for 2-3 seconds. The sound can be switched off at any time by pressing the Alarm reset switch. When normal conditions are restored the Alarm light stops blinking and the sound turns off automatically. HIGH TEMPERATURE ALARM When there is a temperature increase in the freezer compartment (e.g. due to a power failure) the Alarm light is blinking and sound is on. 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 FastFreeze function at least 24 hours before placing the food to be frozen in the freezer compartment. Store the fresh food evenly distributed in the first compartment or drawer from the top. The maximum amount of food that can be frozen without adding other fresh food during 24 hours is specified on the rating plate (a label located inside the appliance). When the freezing process is complete, the appliance automatically returns to the previous temperature setting (see "FastFreeze Function"). STORAGE OF FROZEN FOOD When activating an appliance for the first time or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run at least 3 hours with the FastFreeze function switched on. The freezer drawers ensure that it is quick and easy to find the food package you want. If large HINTS AND TIPS quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers, except for the bottom drawer which needs to be in place to provide good air circulation. Keep the food no closer than 15 mm from the door. CAUTION! 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 on rating plate under "rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately then cooled and then re-frozen. Refer to "High temperature alarm". THAWING Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being consumed, can be thawed in the refrigerator or inside a plastic bag under cold water. This operation depends on the time available and on the type of food. Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen. HINTS FOR ENERGY SAVING • The internal configuration of the appliance is the one that ensures the most efficient use of energy. • Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than necessary. • The colder the temperature setting, the higher the energy consumption. • Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover the ventilation grilles or holes. HINTS FOR FREEZING • Activate FastFreeze function at least 24 hours before placing the food inside the freezer compartment. • Before freezing wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, plastic film or bags, airtight containers with lid. • For more efficient freezing and thawing divide food into small portions. • It is recommended to put labels and dates on all your frozen food.
