Using the freezer to its full potential

•  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 above the grill in the 
freezer compartment and if possible be in direct 
contact with the walls (side and rear), where the 
temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid 
freezing.

•  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 and the special COOL CARE 

ZONE bin, which has an adjustable temperature) 
and place the food directly onto the racks/glass 
shelvessupplied [where present].

!

 To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the 

freezer compartment, it is advisable not to obstruct the 
ventilation holes with food or containers.

!

 

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.

!

 

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.

FAST FREEZE 

and

 LOW AMBIENT

 switch

The appliance is fitted with a manual “Fast Freezer and 

Low Ambiant” switch.

When loading fresh food to freeze switch “Fast Freeze 

and Low Anbiant” on.

To set “Fast Freeze and Low Ambient” ON, press the 

switch to “

This switch activates intensive cooling to ensure that 

required temperatures are reached quickly.

So when the fresh food is frozen return the switch to its 

OFF position, “

“.

Note: for Energy Saving ensure that “Fast Freeze and 

Low Ambient” is switched off after 24 hours.

For the refrigerator to operate properly the “Fast Freeze 

and Low Ambient” button must be ON when room 

temperature is 16°C or lower.

Ice tray

The fact that they are situated on the top part of the 
freezer drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no 
longer comes into contact with the food placed inside 
the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the 
water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole 
after filling with water is also provided).

1. Pull out the tray by pushing it up.

Check that the tray is completely empty and fill it with 
water through the opening provided.

2. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX 

WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes 

from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to melt 
and empty the tray).

3. Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments 

each mould fills with water (see diagram).

4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the 

tray back, placing the top part in the corresponding 
housing and allowing it to drop in again.

5. When the ice has formed (minimum time approximately 

8 hours) knock the tray against a hard surface and wet 
the outside so that the ice cubes come loose and take 
them out through the opening.
