appliance from the power supply, but only reduce the power
consumed by external display.
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 stuffed fresh
pasta and even cooked food or leftovers.
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR *
Temperature indicator informs you if the temperature in this
cavity is cold enough for storage with the word "OK".
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see
the picture below).

SOME OF THE FUNCTIONAL SOUNDS
YOU MIGHT HEAR
A hissing sound when switching on the
appliance for the first time or after a long
pause.
Buzzing sound when water valve or fan
start working.
* Available only on certain models
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.
SHELVES *
Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the
height is adjustable, allowing easy storage of large containers
and food.
