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.
Dual led
*
Thanks to the powerful light it emits, the new dual LED lighting system
offers a clear view of all foods, with no shadowy areas.
If the LEDs need to be replaced, please contact the Technical Assistance
Service.
Using the freezer to its full potential
Use the FREEZER OPERATION knob 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. 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;
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 avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer compartment,
it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or
containers.
! 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.

prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or
sealed properly.

switch the appliance off. The appliance has a function which allows it to
maintain the temperature of the refrigerator compartment at

and beauty products). The freezer temperature must be set to the
minimum value in order to preserve the food.
