This feature allows you to store large containers and food products. 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.

Food that has been 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 "B". Remember that proper conservation depends on the speed of freezing. The first time or after the freezer has been inactive, you can only freeze food after having let the appliance function at maximum. Freezing can be done in two ways: - 24 HOURS FAST FREEZING For small quantities of food, less than the maximum capacity indicated on the data plate, enable the SUPER FREEZE function in the “24 hour” mode by pressing the button until the yellow lamp “R” lights on and insert the food to be frozen. After 24 hours, or once the optimum temperatures have been reached, the rapid freezing function is automatically disabled. - 48 HOURS FAST FREEZING For large quantities of food to be frozen (up until the maximum load indicated on the data plate), enable SUPER FREEZE function in the “48 hours” mode. We recommend you to enable this function 24 hours before placing the food to be frozen in. [. . . ] Dust may deposit on the back panel and affect the proper running of the appliance.
