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 Frostmatic 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 and second 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 “Frostmatic function”).

In this condition, the temperature inside the refrigerator might change slightly.
For more information refer to “Hints for freezing”.

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 Frostmatic function switched on.
The freezer drawers ensure that it is quick and easy to find the food package you want.

If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and place the food on shelves.
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.

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 AND TIPS

Hints for energy saving

• Freezer: The internal configuration of the appliance is the one that ensures the most efficient use of energy.
• Fridge: Most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the drawers in the bottom part of the appliance and shelves evenly distributed. Position of the door bins does not affect energy consumption.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than necessary.
• Freezer: The colder the temperature setting, the higher the energy consumption.
• Fridge: Do not set too high temperature to save energy unless it is required by the characteristics of the food.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the temperature control is set to low temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice formation on the evaporator. In this case, set the temperature control toward higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and to save energy this way.
• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover the ventilation grilles or holes.
• Make sure that food products inside the appliance allow air circulation through dedicated holes in the rear interior of the appliance.

Hints for freezing

• Activate Frostmatic 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. This will help to identify foods and to know when they should be used before their deterioration.
• The food should be fresh when being frozen to preserve good quality. Especially fruits and vegetables should be frozen after the harvest to preserve all of their nutrients.
• Do not freeze bottles or cans with liquids, in particular drinks containing carbon dioxide – they may explode during freezing.
• Do not put hot food in the freezer compartment. Cool it down at room temperature before placing it inside the compartment.
• To avoid increase in temperature of already frozen food, do not place fresh unfrozen food directly next to it. Place food at room temperature in the part of the freezer compartment where there is no frozen food.
• Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer. Risk of frostbites.
• Do not re-freeze defrosted food. If the food has defrosted, cook it, cool it down and then freeze it.

Hints for storage of frozen food

• Freezer compartment is the one marked with
• The medium temperature setting ensures good preservation of frozen food products.
• Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life.
• The whole freezer compartment is suitable for storage of frozen food products.
• Leave enough space around the food to allow air to circulate freely.
• For adequate storage refer to food packaging label to see the shelf life of food.
• It is important to wrap the food in such a way that prevents water, humidity or condensation from getting inside.

Shopping tips
After grocery shopping:

• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged – the food could be deteriorated. If the package is swollen or wet, it might have not been stored in the optimal conditions and defrosting may have already started.
• To limit the defrosting process buy frozen goods at the end of your grocery shopping and transport them in a thermal and insulated cool bag.
• Place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer after coming back from the shop.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume it as soon as possible.
• Respect the expiry date and the storage information on the package.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

• Good temperature setting that ensures preservation of fresh food is a temperature less than or equal to + 4°C.
• Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life of food.
• Cover the food with packaging to preserve its freshness and aroma.
• Always use closed containers for liquids and for food, to avoid flavours or odours in the compartment.
• To avoid the cross-contamination between cooked and raw food, cover the cooked food and separate it from the raw one.
• It is recommended to defrost the food inside the fridge.
• Do not insert hot food inside the appliance. Make sure it has cooled down at room temperature before inserting it.
• To prevent food waste the new stock of food should always be placed behind the old one.

Hints for food refrigeration

• Fresh food compartment is the one marked (on the rating plate) with
• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable packaging and place it on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly (eliminate the soil) and place in a special drawer (vegetable drawer).
• It is advisable not to keep the exotic fruits like bananas, mangos, papayas etc. in the refrigerator.
• Vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and garlic should not be kept in the refrigerator.
• Butter and cheese: place in an airtight container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible.
• Bottles: close them with a cap and place them on the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack.
• In order to accelerate cooling down of the goods, it is advisable to turn on the fan. The activation of DYNAMICAIR allows greater homogenization of internal temperatures.
• Always refer to the expiry date of the products to know how long to keep them.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.

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 brand-new product, then dried thoroughly.

CAUTION!
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, chlorine or oil-based cleaners as they will damage the finish.
CAUTION!
The accessories and parts of the appliance are not suitable for washing in a dishwasher.

Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

1. Clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
