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: set a lower temperature and wait approximately 10 hours
until the temperature has been stabilised.
3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it following
the initial process. If large quantities of food have been added or if
the refrigerator door has been opened frequently, it is normal for
the indicator not to show OK. Wait at least 10 hours before adjusting
the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher setting.
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.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• Use the FREEZER OPERATION button to adjust the temperature
(see Description).
• 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.
• 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).
• To freeze (if the freezer is already operating): press the rapid
freezing SUPER FREEZE button (corresponding blue indicator
light illuminates), insert the food and close the door. The function is
disabled automatically after 24 hours or when optimal temperatures
have been reached (indicator light goes out)
!
Do not store food too large in the upper freezer drawer if is present
the ‘Ice Device”.
!
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.

Food Care Zone 0°C / Safe Defrost* :
A compartment designed to keep delicate food such as meat and
fish fresh. The low temperature in the compartment (-2 / +3° C)
makes it possible to store the food for up to one week - tests
performed on meat products - without changing its nutrients,
appearance and flavour.
The compartment is also very suitable for healthy food defrosting,
as low-temperature defrosting prevents any proliferation of
microorganisms, while protecting its taste and organoleptic
properties.
It is not suitable for fruit, vegetables and green salad. But it can be
used for fresh or very fresh dairy products and milk, stuffed fresh
pasta and even cooked food or leftovers.
