5.7 Temperature indicator
For proper storage of food the refrigerator is
equipped with the temperature indicator. The
symbol on the side wall of the appliance
indicates the coldest area in the refrigerator.
If OK is displayed (A), put fresh food into area
indicated by symbol, if not (B), wait at least
12 hours and check if it is OK (A).
If it is still not OK (B), adjust the setting
control to a colder setting.
5.8 Fan
The refrigerator compartment is equipped
with a device that allows rapid cooling of
foods and keeps a more uniform temperature
in the compartment.
This device activates automatically when
needed.
It is also possible to switch on the device
manually when needed (refer to "Fan
function").
The fan operates only when the door is
closed.
Do not remove the cover of the fan.
5.9 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 Extra
Freeze 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 "Extra
Freeze function").
For more information refer to "Hints for
freezing".
5.10 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 Extra Freeze
function switched on.
The freezer drawers ensure that it is quick
and easy to find the food package you want.
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".
5.11 Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
consumed, can be thawed in the refrigerator
or inside a plastic bag under cold water.
