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* :
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..

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, never 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 the level
of humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.
! To close the refrigerator door to pay attention to the vertical bracket
position (see figure)

Using the freezer to its full potential

• Adjust the temperature using the display.
• 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 re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been
defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24
hours).
