5.3 Vegetable drawer
There is a special drawer in the bottom part
of the appliance suitable for storage of fruits
and vegetables.
5.4 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 all
compartments or drawers.
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".

6. HINTS AND TIPS

6.1 Hints for energy saving
• 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

5.5 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.
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.
5.6 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.
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.
6.2 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
