the 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: set a lower temperature and wait approximately 10
hours until the temperature has been 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

• 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

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*:
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.
