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: 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.

AIR maximises air circulation, improving the efficiency of the
evaporator and helping to achieve the optimal temperature inside the
refrigerator as quickly as possible each time it has been opened. The
blown air (A) is cooled when it comes into contact with the cold wall,
whereas the hotter air (B) is sucked up (see diagram).

• 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.

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.
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.
