[. . . ] Positioning the door shelves To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed at different heights. To make these adjustments proceed as follow: gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free, then reposition as required. The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen. When the freezing process is completed, return to the required temperature (see "Action freeze Function"). Thawing Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation. Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer. Storage of frozen food When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings. 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 in the technical characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after cooling). The constant storage temperature of about 0°C and the relative humidity of between 45 and 90 % provide optimal conditions for the various kinds of food. You can therefore store a variety of fresh food in the NaturaFresh 0°C compartment, where it will last up to 3 times longer with better quality compared to normal refrigerator compartments. This allows you to stock more fresh food. Taste, degree of freshness, quality and nutritional values (vitamins and minerals) are well preserved. Carbon Air Filter Your appliance is equipped with a carbon filter behind a flap in the rear wall of the fridge compartment. The filter purifies the air from unwanted odours in the fridge and NaturaFresh 0°C compartment meaning that the storage quality will be further improved. During the operation, always keep the air ventilation flap closed. 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 Action freeze function at least 24 hours before placing the food to be frozen in the freezer compartment. The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating Food yields a higher degree of nutritional value. In this case the thawed food can be stored up to two days . Humidity control Both drawers can be used according to the desired storage conditions independently of each other with lower or higher humidity. Regulation for each drawer is separate and is controlled using the slide valve at the front of the drawer. ⷠ, , Dry": low air humidity - up to 50 % relative humidity This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set into this position Type of food Onion "dry" Butter "dry" Large pork cuts "dry" Beef, venison, small pork cuts, poultry "dry" Tomato sauce "dry" Fish, shellfish, cooked meat products "dry" Cooked seafood "dry" Salad, vegetables Carrots, herbs, Brussels sprouts, celery "humid" Humid": high relative humidity - up to 90% This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set in this position and the ventilation openings are closed.
