[. . . ] I 10 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. [. . . ] 2) on the inner door allows you to store not only cans, but also yoghurt, butter and other containers, according to your requirements. WARNING: to avoid blocking the air circulation inside the refrigerator, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or containers. 2 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. gB 14 How to use the freezer compartment. 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 "Q" 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. 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 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. 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.
