REMOVING THE “0° ZONE“ COMPARTMENT
Carry out the following steps:
1.
To make it easier to remove the compartment, we recommend
that you empty (and possibly remove) the lower door shelves.
2.
Remove the compartment by rotating it upwards.
3.
Remove the white plastic shelf under the compartment.
Note: it is not possible to remove the upper shelf and side supports.
To use the
“0° ZONE“
compartment again, carefully reposition the
white plastic shelf under the compartment before inserting the drawer
and turning the function back on.
To have a larger refrigerator volume and to reduce energy
consumption, it is recommended to remove the “
0° ZONE
“
compartment.
Clean the compartment and its components occasionally using a cloth
and a solution of warm water (taking care not to submerge the white
plastic shelf under the drawer) and neutral cleaning agents specifically
for cleaning the inside of the refrigerator. Do not use abrasive cleaning
agents.
Before cleaning the compartment (also externally) it is necessary
to remove the drawer to disconnect the electrical supply.
STOP FROST SYSTEM*
The STOP FROST SYSTEM facilitates the defrost procedure for the
freezer compartment.
The STOP FROST accessory is designed to collect some of the frost
that forms in the freezer compartment and it is easy to remove and
clean, therefore reducing the time needed to defrost the freezer
compartment.
To remove the frost on the STOP FROST accessory follow the cleaning
procedure demonstrated below.
PROCEDURE TO CLEAN THE STOP FROST ACCESSORY
1.
Open the freezer compartment door and remove the upper
drawer.
2.
Unfasten the STOP FROST accessory and remove it, taking care not
to drop it on the glass shelf below.
Note: if the accessory is jammed or difficult to remove, do not keep
trying to remove it, but proceed with the complete defrost of the freezer
compartment.
3.
Close the door of the freezer compartment.
