TEMPERATURE Indicator light
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
position (colder) 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.

FRESH BOX
This is the new box to keep meat, fish and cheese fresh. When
positioned in the "lower" part of the fridge compartment, it is ideal
for meat and fish; when moved to the "top" part of the fridge, it is
perfect for cheese. It can be taken out of the fridge when it is not
needed.

• 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)
! 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.
! To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer, it is advisable
not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or containers.
Ice 3
ice tray
The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer drawers
ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no longer comes into contact
with the food placed inside the freezer compartment; furthermore,
the dripping of the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up
the hole after filling with water is also provided).
1. Pull out the tray by pushing it up. Check that the tray is ompletely
empty and fill it with water through the opening provided.
2. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL).
Excess water prevents the ice cubes from dispensing (if this
happens, wait for the ice to melt and empty the tray).
3. Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments each mould
fills with water (see diagram).
4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the tray back,
placing the top part in the corresponding housing and allowing it
to drop in again.
5. When the ice has formed (minimum time approximately 8 hours)
knock the tray against a hard surface and wet the outside so that
the ice cubes come loose and take them out through the opening.
