It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism
on the top part of the refrigerator compartment ( see
diagram ).
The A.I.R. System maintains a constant fridge
temperature to keep food fresher for longer and will
quickly restore the temperature to the correct level, even
if the door is opened frequently: the blown air (A) is
cooled when it comes into contact with the cold wall,
whereas the hotter air (B) is sucked up ( see diagram ).
The back wall may be covered in frost or droplets of
water, depending on whether the compressor is in
operation or whether it is paused.
1. Once you have bought your food, remove all external
packaging made of paper/cardboard or other
wrappers, which could introduce bacteria or dirt
inside your refrigerator.
2. Protect the food, (especially easily perishable items
and those that have a strong smell), in order to avoid
contact between them, thereby removing both the
possibility of germ/bacteria contamination as well as
the diffusion of strong odours inside the fridge.
3. Store all food in such a way as to ensure air can
circulate freely between different items.
4. Keep the inside of your fridge clean, taking care not
to use oxidiser or abrasive products.
5. Remove all food past its expiry date from the
refrigerator.
6. For the correct preservation of food, all easily
perishable items (soft cheeses, raw fish, meat, etc.)
should be stored in the coldest zone of the fridge
compartment, i.e. just above the salad crisper where
the temperature indicator is situated.

• Adjust the temperature using the display.
• Press the SUPER COOL button (rapid cooling) to lower
the temperature quickly. For example, when you place
a large number of new food items inside a fridge the
internal temperature will rise slightly. The function
quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing
the temperature until it reaches the ideal level.
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment,
not 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 humidity in the refrigerator and cause
condensation to form.
• Adjust the temperature using the display.
• The Cool Care Zone is a compartment that allows
several types of food to be frozen at the most suitable
temperature (fruit, ice cream and alcoholic drinks); the
other two storage compartments (see overall view)
are designed to store frozen foods under normal
conditions.To freeze foods in safely and correctly,
follow the instructions below.
For a small quantity (less than half of the maximum
amount shown on the data plate):
if the Cool Care Zone is activated, place the food in
-
the two storage compartments, making sure that it
does not come into contact with any food that has
already been frozen; press the rapid-freezing SUPER
FREEZE button (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).
- if the Cool Care Zone is not activated the first
compartment may also be used: place the food inside
and repeat the same steps as detailed above.
For a large quantity (more than half of the maximum
amount shown on the data plate):
Deactivate the Cool Care Zone and empty it, hold
down the SUPER FREEZE button for a few seconds
until the corresponding LED begins to flash. After
approximately 24 hours the freezer will have reached
the optimal food freezing temperature. Once this time
has elapsed the LED remains lit constantly: place the
food inside the freezer and close the door. After 24
hours the food will have been frozen properly and the
