Important If there is a power failure when food is in the freezer, do not open the door of the freezer compartment. The frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration (up to 6-8 hours) and the freezer compartment is full, otherwise, it is recommended that the food should be used within a short time (a temperature increase of the frozen food shortens its safe storage period). The 4-star compartment is suitable for long term storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing fresh food. To freeze fresh foods It is not necessary to change the setting of the thermostatknob. However, for a quicker freezing operation, turn the thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but remeber that, in this condition, the refrigerator compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. Place the food to be frozen in the upper in the freezer compartment as this is the coldest part. 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. This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes.
