SHELVES: thanks to the special rails 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.

ICE TRAYS: to make ice.

1. Pull out the tray by pushing it up and then outwards (see diagram).

Check that the tray is completely empty and fill it with water through the opening provided.

MULTI-USEbin*: to store food (such as cold meats) for a long time and also prevent odours from lingering in the refrigerator. It can be removed for use and it may be shifted sideways to optimise space (see diagram).

FRESH BOX*: for fresh meat and fish. Due to the compartment’s low temperature (the coldest in the refrigerator), food can be stored for up to one week. It can also be used for “cold meals.”

WINE AREA*: to store up to three bottles of wine (see diagram). The air circulates freely between the bottles guaranteeing rapid cooling. When not in use, close it to increase the space on the shelf.

BOTTLE RACK/ CAN RACK* flap door:

to store a bottle or several cans horizontally (see diagram). When not in use, close the flap door to increase the space in the refrigerator compartment.

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°: the water fills up the moulds (see diagram). Close the opening with the lid and replace. When the ice has formed (minimum time approximately 8 hours), knock the tray against a hard surface.

ICE PARTY: to bring a bottle of sparkling wine or champagne to the right temperature. Place it in the bucket provided inside the FREEZER and STORAGE compartment. The bucket may be used to serve the bottle, keeping it cool. See Display.
