[. . . ] D 28 Safety - a good habit to get into. ATTENTION Read your manual carefully since it contains instructions which will ensure safe installation, use and maintenance of your appliance. Your Refrigerator is built to International safety standards (EN60) ans has been awarded the European approval mark (IMQ) for compliance with UK electrical safety requirements. It also meets the EC standards on the prevention and elimination of readio interference (EC directive 87/308 - 02. [. . . ] The refrigerator compartment of your appliance is fitted with practical removable shelves (Fig. 1) whose height can be adjusted to allow storage of large containers. This allows you to place even large containers and foodstuffs in the refrigerator. 4 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. For the preparation of food to be frozen, please consult a specialized manual. Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be refrozen: 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 "I" where the temperature will fall below -18°C, which is ideal for freezing food properly. Remember that proper conservation 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. Food can be frozen by enabling the SUPER FREEZE 24 hour function (see the paragraph on "How to use the display"). After 24 hours, or once the optimal temperatures have been reached, the rapid freezing function is automatically disabled. During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the freezer. In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is recommended 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. Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power failure or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in temperature 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. [. . . ] After 24 hours, the freezing function is automatically disabled but you can disable it yourself from the display. Turn the appliance off by pressing the ON/OFF (A) button for more than two seconds. WARNING: this operation switches off the whole appliance (including the fridge compartment). Wrap all frozen foods in newspaper and place them either in another refrigerator or in a cool place. [. . . ]
