How to use the refrigerator compartment...
The temperature inside the refrigerator is automatically ad-
justed according to the setting made on the display.We rec-
ommend, however, a medium position (+5°C).
The refrigerator compartment of your appliance is equipped
with "A.I.R. System" which makes it possible to achieve
optimal food storage while simplifying the use of the refrigerator
thanks to the following features:
- Fast temperature reset: after the doors heve been opened,
the internal temperatures return to optimal levels faster,
improving food storage.
- More uniform temperature distribution: this makes it possible
to place any type of food on any shelf.
- Higher humidity level: this allows you to store food longer.

Hotter air is drawn in (B above). This air is cooled
when it comes into contact with the refrigeration
panel (A above).
Super Cool function
When the fridge compartment is filled up after a heavy
shopping spree, use the SUPER COOL (J) function in order
to reach optimum operating conditions quickly. Once the
necessary time has elapsed, the function is disabled
automatically.
Remember to follow our instructions on the storage life of
foods: If not stored correctly, even the freshest food will dete-
riorate quite quickly.
Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not keep longer
than fresh food.
The refrigerator compartment of your appliance is fitted with
practical removable shelves (Fig. 1) whose height can be
adjusted to allow storage of large containers. This allows
you to place large items in the refrigerator.
Remember to cool hot food before storing otherwise the tem-
perature inside the appliance will increase, causing the com-
pressor to work harder and use more energy.
Do not store liquids in unsealed containers since this will in-
crease the humidity and lead to the formation of frost in the
refrigerator.
To use the cold cuts/cheese box, unhook it and remove it
from the shelf. To optimise space according to your needs,
the same can be moved laterally (Fig. 2).
The side bottle rack can be used either for storing a bottle
(Fig. 3) or several cans (2-4) placed horizontally (Fig. 4). If not
in use, the bottle/can rack can be tipped up and away to
make more room inside the refrigerator.

Using the 'Fresh box' compartment for meat
and fish
This compartment was designed to allow for longer
preservation times for meat and fish (for as long as a week).
This is possible, as this compartment has the coldest
temperature of the entire fridge.
The clear protective door prevents any oxidation or blackening
(typical of meat and fish when exposed to air).
The 'Fresh box' compartment can also be used to cool dishes
that at normally eaten 'cold', such as melon and Parma ham,
figs and ham, mozzarella and tomatoes.
