The No Frost system circulates cold air continuously to collect
GB
humidity and prevent ice and frost formation. The system maintains
an optimal humidity level in the compartment, preserving the
original quality of the food, preventing the food from sticking
together and making defrosting a thing of the past. Do not block
the aeration cells by placing food or containers in direct contact
with the refrigerating back panel. Close bottles and wrap food
tightly.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment•
Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods.
• Do not store liquids in open containers: they will increase the
level of humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to
form.
COMPARTMENT 3 IN 1 ZONE*
This is the new box which offers maximum flexibility in order to
stock your food in an excellent way.
-store meat, fish and delicate food;
-rapid cooling of hot food from 70°C to 3°C and of other fresh
foods and leftovers
-low temperature defrosting (it inhibits the proliferation of
microorganisms).
You can get the 0°C temperature, in standard conditions, when
the fridge compartment temperature is at about 4°C.
By decreasing the fridge temperature you decrease the CHILLER
compartment temperature too.
SHELVES:
Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the
height is adjustable allowing easy storage of large containers
and food. Height can be adjusted without complete removal of
the shelf. (see diagram),

TEMPERATURE Indicator light
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: adjust the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a
higher position (colder) 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.

FRUIT and VEGETABLE bin
The salad crispers fitted inside the fridge have been specially
designed for the purpose of keeping fruit and vegetables fresh and
crisp. Open the humidity regulator (position B) if you want to store
food in a less humid environment like fruit, or close it (position A)
to store food in a more humid environment like vegetable.

Coolsaver*
Certain fruits and vegetables generate ethylene as a natural part
of their ripening cycle. Other fruits and vegetables are highly
sensitive to the presence of ethylene, but may or may not produce
the ethylene themselves. Coolsaver maintains longer shelf life
with better food quality and fresher perishables by removing the
ethylene gas that causes premature ripening and decay.
High relative humidity is good for most perishable foods but
condensation is not. Coolsaver eliminates excess condensation
that causes mould, mildew and bacteriological growth on food.
Coolsaver also avoids cross transfer of odors and provides an
ideal environment in your refrigerator.
Coolsaver is a 100% natural inorganic mineral and keeps its full
efficiency for several years. Considering the dust and humidity
around the Coolsaver during the normal use of the refrigerator,
it is recommended to recondition the Coolsaver periodically at
each 6 months to satisfy the full effectivity. Reconditioning is a
process of cleaning the Coolsaver bag with a vacuum cleaner
and then putting it under sunlight for around 6 hours or inside an
oven at 80 ˚C for 1 hour.
In order to keep the maximum effectivity and save the performance;
dust, oil or other liquids must be avoided to be in contact with the
Coolsaver. Such contact with these materials will cause reduction
or totally loss of the effectivity of the Coolsaver minerals and may
require replacement with a new one.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• Adjust the temperature using the display.
• 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 SUPER FREEZE function 24 hours before placing the food
in the freezer. After placing the food inside, activate the SUPER
FREEZE function again; it will be deactivated automatically after
24 hours;
