Salad crispers
The salad crispers fitted inside the fridge have been specially
designed for the purpose of keeping fruit and vegetables
fresh and crisp. Open the humidity regulator (position B) if
you want to store food in a less humid environment, or
close it (position A) to store food in a more humid
environment (Fig. 3).
The easy-to-open lids (all you have to do is pull the crisper
out) make it easy to put food in and take it out (Fig. 4).

Freezing Foods Properly
For the preparation of food to be frozen, please con-
sult a specialized manual.
Food that has been thawed, even partially, must not be re-
frozen: 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. Please keep pressing the fast freezing

button until the yellow lamp "R" begins to flash. After 24
hours, the yellow lamp will stop flashing and go back to
being permanently lit; you can now insert the food to be
frozen. After another 24 hours, the function will be
disabled automatically.
During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the
freezer.
The maximum daily quantity of food that can be frozen is
indicated on the rating plate located to the left of the veg-
etable crisper.
In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is rec-
ommended 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.
Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power failure
or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in tem-
perature within the compartment. If the door is not opened,
frozen and fast-frozen foods will remain in their current state
for approximately 9-14 hours.
Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily
burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze.
WARNING: to avoid blocking the air circulation inside
the freezer compartment, it is advisable not to obstruct
the ventilation holes with food or containers.
