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).
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 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
22
can be stored, keeping it fresh for up to a week.
"FOOD CARE ZONE 0°C"/ Safe Defrost*:
In the "FOOD CARE ZONE 0°C" compartment there are lower
temperatures than in the fridge. Temperatures can go below 0°C.
This compartment is the ideal spot to store meat and fish. You
can also store milk, dairy products, fresh pasta, cooked food or
leftovers.
This compartment is also suitable to defrost foods in a healthy
way, because the defrosting process at low temperatures inhibits
the micro organisms proliferation.
This compartment is not suitable for vegetables, salad and salads.
The 0°C can be obtained in normal conditions and when the
fridge compartment is set to 4° and the freezer is set to -18° C.
When you decrease the fridge temperature you also decrease
the temperature of the "FOOD CARE ZONE 0°C" compartment.
