It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism on the
top part of the refrigerator compartment (see diagram).

AIR
maximises air circulation, improving the efficiency of the
evaporator and helping to achieve the optimal temperature inside
the refrigerator as quickly as possible each time it has been
opened. The blown air (A) is cooled when it comes into contact
with the cold wall, whereas the hotter air (B) is sucked up (see
diagram).
Food Care Zone *
Area dedicated to the storage of fresh food, such as meat and
fish. Thanks to the low temperature inside the compartment, the
Food Care Zone extends the period of time for which the food
can be stored, keeping it fresh for up to a week.
“Food Care Zone 0°C” / Safe Defrost* :
In the “Food Care Zone 0°C” compartment there are lower
temperatures than in the fridge. Temperatures can go below 0°C.
This compartment is the ideal spot to store meat and fish. You
can also store milk, dairy products, fresh pasta, cooked food or
leftovers.
This compartment is also suitable to defrost foods in a healthy
way, because the defrosting process at low temperatures inhibits
the micro organisms proliferation.
This compartment is not suitable for vegetables, salad and salads.
The 0°C can be obtained in normal conditions and when the
fridge compartment is set to 4° and the freezer is set to -18° C.
When you decrease the fridge temperature you also decrease the
temperature of the “Food Care Zone 0°C” ”compartment.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• Adjust the temperature using the display.
• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been
defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24
hours).
• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact
with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must
be stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment
where the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees
rapid freezing.
• To freeze fresh food in the best and safest way possible,
activate the
QUICK FREEZE
function 24 hours before placing
the food in the freezer. After placing the food inside, activate
the
QUICK FREEZE
function again; it will be deactivated
automatically after 24 hours;
• 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).
• In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the freezer
compartment, you may remove the bins (except the lowest
bin , the uppermost bin and the special COOL CARE ZONE
bin, which has an adjustable temperature) and place the food
directly onto the evaporator plates.
!
If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an extended period
of time, the ideal temperature will not be reached in the freezer
compartment and food preservation will be reduced.
!
Do not open the door during freezing.
!
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.
Easy Ice
*
The double tub was designed to optimise space in the freezer
compartment and to ensure that ice is always readily available.
The trays can be stacked or filled and used separately.
Furthermore, the special fastening system makes Easy Ice an
extremely flexible solution, as it can be positioned in the right or
left part of the top drawers.
Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect
the appliance from the electricity supply:
1. Press the ON/OFF button to switch off the appliance.
2. Pull the plug out of the socket.
!
If this procedure is not followed, the alarm may sound. This alarm
does not indicate a malfunction. To restore normal operation,
hold the ON/OFF button down for more than two seconds. To
disconnect the appliance, follow points 1 and 2 above.
I Care function
The
I Care function can be activated to optimise energy
consumption while maintaining the cooling performance of the
product.This function maximises the amount of energy saved.
Under these conditions, the display remains off even when the
door is opened. The function is activated by pressing and holding
the super freezer and FRZ (+) buttons simultaneously for at least
6 seconds. Once the function has been activated, all LEDs will
light up for 2 seconds to confirm activation, and the temperature
setting of +5, -18 will appear on the display. The display switches
off after 5 seconds. To change the temperature, simply press the
+ and – buttons until you have reached the desired temperature.
However, the I Care function can also be disabled by switching
the product off using the ON/OFF button. When it is switched back
on, the I Care will be disabled.In humid environments, when the
I Care function is enabled, slight condensation may form on the
appliance door; normal operating conditions are restored when
the function is disabled.
Cleaning the appliance
• The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber seals may
be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm
water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. Do not use
solvents, abrasive products, vinegar , bleach or ammonia.
• The removable accessories may be soaked in warm water and
soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them carefully.
• The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be
