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.
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.
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).
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.
WARNING: to avoid blocking the air circulation inside
the refrigerator, it is advisable not to obstruct the
ventilation holes with food or containers.
