Chiller system

No Frost

The No Frost system circulates cold air continuously to collect humidity and prevent ice and frost formation. The system maintains an optimal humidity level in the compartment, preserving the original quality of the food, preventing the food from sticking together and making defrosting a thing of the past. Do not block the aeration cells by placing food or containers in direct contact with the refrigerating back panel. Close bottles and wrap food tightly.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

•Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, never 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 the level of humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.

SHELVES: with or without grill.

Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height is adjustable (see diagram), allowing easy storage of large containers and food. Height can be adjusted without complete removal of the shelf.

TEMPERATURE Indicator light*: to identify the coldest area in the refrigerator.

1.Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see diagram).

*Varies by number and/or position, available only on certain models.

2. If the word “OK” does not appear it means that the temperature

is too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a GB 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.

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

•Adjust the temperature using the display.

•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 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 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.

!To maximise space inside the freezer, all drawers [with the exception of the bottom drawer] can be removed from their positions and the food placed directly on the racks/glass shelves supplied [where present].
