according to the position of the
thermostat knob.
min
= warmest
max
= coldest
We recommend, however, a
medium position.
It is recognisable by aeration cells located on the back
walls of the compartments.
The No Frost system circulates cold air continuously to
collect humidity and prevent ice and frost formation.
The system maintains an optimal humidity level in the
compartment, preserving the original quality of the
food, preventing the food from sticking together and
making defrosting a thing of the past.
Do not block the aeration cells by placing food or
containers in direct contact with the refrigerating back
panel.
Close bottles and wrap food tightly.
Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment,
not hot foods (
see Precautions and tips
).
Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than
raw foods.
SHELVES
: with or without grill.
Due to the special guides the shelves are removable
and the height is adjustable
(
see diagram
), allowing easy
storage of large containers
and food. Height can be
adjusted without complete
removal of the shelf.

FRESH BOX
: for fresh meat and
fish. Due to the compartments
low temperature (the coldest in
the refrigerator) and to the clear
door that provides protection
against oxidation and
blackening, food can be stored
for even up to one week. It can
also be used for cold meals.
FRUIT
and
VEGETABLE
bin
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.
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.
BEVERAGE CAN
shelves.
The can rack on the inner
door allows you to store not
only cans, but also yoghurt,
butter and other containers,
according to your
requirements.
TEMPERATURE
Indicator light: to identify the coldest
area in the refrigerator.
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light
(
see diagram
).
2. If the word OK does not appear it means that the
temperature is too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR
OPERATION knob to a higher position (colder) and
wait approximately 10 hours until the temperature
has been stabilised.
