[. . . ] • Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break. • The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4). • The top drawer can be used to store several types of food (semifreddo frozen desserts, ice creams and alcohol) at the most suitable temperature; the lower drawer (see overall view) is designed to store frozen food in normal conditions. To freeze food (if the freezer is already in operation), deactivate the TVZ and empty the top drawer, press the rapid-freezing SUPER FREEZE button (the corresponding LED lights up), place the food inside and close the drawer. The function is deactivated automatically after 24 hours or when the optimal temperatures have been reached (LED switches off). The food may now be moved to the lower drawer (so that the TVZ functions may be used) or left in the TVZ compartment which, when left inactive, will function as a normal storage compartment. To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer compartment, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or containers. If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours. TVZ compartment The TVZ is a special compartment in the freezer which allows the user to choose between 5 different operating modes that may be set according to specific requirements and the type of food stored inside. The temperature settings available are +4°C, 0°C, -12°C and -18°C; these options are displayed on the control panel (FREEZER COMPARTMENT knob). The TVZ has an independent control feature; it may also be deactivated using the control panel, for use as a normal freezer compartment. WARNING: the TVZ compartment does not instantly shift from one temperature setting to another, as it requires a certain amount of time to stabilise. Using the freezer to its full potential • Use the FREEZER OPERATION knob to adjust the temperature (see Description). 16 Maintenance and care Switching the appliance off During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply: 1. set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on OFF 2. If this procedure is not followed, the alarm may sound. This alarm does not indicate a malfunction. To restore normal operation, it is sufficient to set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on the desired value. To disconnect the appliance, follow point 1 and 2. Holiday function If you are going on holiday, you do not have to switch the appliance off; it features a low-energy function which keeps the temperature of the refrigerator compartment at approximately 12°C (you may, for example, wish to protect cosmetics and beauty products from the heat).
