Using the "Fresh box" compartment for meat and fish 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. The clear protective door to open the compartment avoids any oxidation or blackening to occur, which are typical of meat and fish when exposed to air. Moreover, the "Fresh box" compartment can also be used to cool dishes that are normally eaten "cold", such as melon and Parma ham, figs and ham, mozzarella and tomatoes. For the preparation of food to be frozen, please consult a specialized manual. Food that has be 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 "Q" where the temperature will fall below -18°C, which is ideal for freezing food properly. The maximum amount of food you can freeze per day is indicated on the data plate situated inside the refrigerator compartment. The first time, or after the freezer has been inactive, you can only freeze food after having let the appliance function at maximum. When the appliance is already on, freezing can be done in two ways: 1. For small quantities, less than the maximum capacity indicated on the data plate, just press the freezing button “G” (yellow lamp “E” lit) and insert the food to be frozen. After 24 hours, or once the optimum temperatures have been reached, the rapid freezing function will switch itself off automatically (yellow lamp “E” off). For large quantities of food to be frozen (up until the maximum load indicated on the data plate), keep the freezing button “G” pressed down until the yellow lamp starts flashing quickly. After 24 hours, the yellow lamp will stop flashing (permanently lit); you can now insert the food to be frozen. After 24 hours, the button will switch itself off automatically (yellow lamp off). In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is recommended that you divide food into small portions so that they freeze quickly and uniformly. Thanks to the connected compartments, the water fills up the special shapes, after which you can cover the hole up with the special cap and place the ice tray in the inner door of the freezer compartment.
