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* :
A compartment designed to keep delicate food such as meat
and fish fresh. The low temperature in the compartment 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.
SHELVES*:
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.
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 QUCIK 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.

needs to be replaced, please contact the Technical Assistance
Service.
