regulator to the OFF position.

Temperature regulation

The temperature within the appliance is con-
trolled by the Temperature Regulator situated
on the control panel.

First use

Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time,
the interior and all internal accessories should
be washed with lukewarm water and some
neutral soap to remove the typical smell of a
brandnew product, then dried thoroughly.

Daily use

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for freez-
ing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-
frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to
change the medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation, turn
the temperature regulator toward higher set-
tings to obtain the maximum coldness.
Place the fresh food to be frozen on the shelf
of the freezer compartment that is the coldest
place.
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.

To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:
• Turn the Temperature regulator toward
lower settings to obtain the minimum cold-
ness.
• Turn the Temperature regulator toward
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.
In case of freezing less food volumes,
the Half Loaded setting is the most
suitable. In case of freezing large food
volumes, the Full Loaded setting is the
most suitable.
CAUTION! Do not use detergents or
abrasive powders, as these will damage
the finish.
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
4 hours on the higher settings.
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 character-
istics chart under "rising time", the de-
frosted food must be consumed quickly
or cooked immediately and then refrozen
(after cooling).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator com-
partment 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.
