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.
Active Oxygen
This device releases ozone molecules inside the refrigerator; ozone
is a natural substance which combats bacteria and microorganisms,
reducing their proliferation while limiting unpleasant odours.
The device automatically establishes the amount of ozone required
for correct operation and can be activated and deactivated by
pressing the corresponding button.
There may be a slight distinctive odour inside the refrigerator. The
very same smell can sometimes be detected during a storm, due to
the ozone produced as the charge in the lightning bolts is released;
this is completely normal. The amount produced by the device is very
small and abates quickly as the antibacterial action takes place.

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.
