Using the refrigerator to its full potential
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not hot
foods ( see Precautions and tips ).
• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods.
• Do not store liquids in open containers. They will increase
humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.
SHELVES: with or without grill.
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.
ACTIVE OXIGEN
This device releases ozone molecules inside the refrigerator; ozone
is a natural substance which combats bacteria and
microorganisms, reducing their proliferation while limiting
unpleasant odours.
Automatically defines the amount of ozone required for prolonging
the freshness of foodstuffs, eliminating odours and preventing
bacteria build-up.
There may be a slight distinctive odour inside the refrigerator. The
very same smell can sometimes be detected during a storm, due
to the ozone produced as the charge in the lightning bolts is
released; this is completely normal. The amount produced by the
device is very small and abates quickly as the antibacterial action
takes place.
Device is activated pressing the dedicated switch located in right
side of the Oxigen device.With the Active Oxigen switched on, the
device will operate a repeted cycle until the key is pressed again.
There will be an Ozone emission noticed by the switching on of the
green led located on the Active Oxigen device located in the fridge
compartment and a stand-by cicle (without zone emission) noticed
by blue light.

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 vegetable, or close it
(position A) to store food in a more humid environment like fruit.
TEMPERATURE
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 (colder) position and wait approximately 10 hours until
the temperature has 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.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• 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. Fresh food must be
stored above the grill in the freezer compartment and if possible
be in direct contact with the walls (side and rear), where the
temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing.
• 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)

! 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.
! If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an extended period
of time, the ideal temperature will not be reached in the freezer
compartment and food preservation will be reduced.
