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.

FLEX COOL 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.
*
FLEXY SHELVES
The central shelf of the fridge compartment folds on itself to create
space for the bulky containers located on the shelf beneath it.
For maximum flexibility in the use of internal space, the shelf can be
positioned in place of other shelves according to the required need.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• Adjust the temperature using the display.
• To freeze foods properly, and in the safest way possible, follow
the instructions below.
- Place the food in the upper "FREEZER and STORAGE"
compartment, making sure that it does not come into contact with
any food that has already been frozen; press the SUPER FREEZE
button (rapid-freezing; "SF" appears on the freezer display and
the corresponding LED lights up) and close the door. The function
deactivates automatically after 24 hours or when the inside of the
compartment has reached the optimal temperature (the LED
switches off).
• 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 compartment,
it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or
containers.

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.
