FREEZE CONTROL
Freeze Control is an advanced
technology that reduces temperature
fluctuations in the whole freezer
compartment to minimum, thanks
to an innovative air system, totally
independent from the fridge. Freeze
burns are reduced up to 60% and food
preserves its original quality and color.
To activate/deactivate the Freeze
Control function simply press FREEZE
CONTROL button.
The function works properly in a
defined range of temperature: between
-22°C and -24°C.
When the function is engaged and the
current temperature in the freezer is
set to the warmer set point than -22°C,
the temperature is automatically set to
-22°C to match the working range.
If the function is engaged and the user
modify the freezer temperature out
of the working range, the function is
automatically switched off.
In case of Fast freezing is engaged, the
function “Freeze control” is inhibited
until the Fast Freezing function
switched off.
BLACK OUT ALARM
After a power blackout, your product
is designed to automatically monitor
the temperature in the freezer
when electricity is resupplied. If
the temperature in the freezer rises
above freezing level, the Black Out
icon lit the Alarm indicator blinks and
the acoustical alarm sounds when
electricity is re-supplied. To reset the
alarm press the Reset Alarm button just
once.
In case of Black Out Alarm, the
following actions are recommended:
• If the food in the freezer is unfrozen
but still cold, all the food in the
freezer should be moved to the fridge
compartment and eaten within the
next 24 hours.
• If the food in the freezer is frozen, this
indicates the food was thawed and
then refrozen when electricity was
re-supplied which degrades taste,
quality and nutritional value and also
could be unsafe. It is recommended
to not consume the food but to
dispose of the entire content of the
freezer.
The Black Out Alarm is designed to
provide guidance on food quality in the
freezer in the event of electricity black
out.
This system does not guarantee food
quality or safety and consumers are
advised to use their own judgment in
evaluating food quality in freezer and
refrigerator compartments.

ACTIVE 0
COMPARTMENT
The Active 0 compartment is
specifically designed to maintain a low
temperature and a suitable humidity
level, in order to keep foods fresher for
longer (e.g. meat, fish, fruit and winter
vegetables).
ACTIVATING AND DEACTIVATING THE
COMPARTMENT
To activate/deactivate the Active 0
compartment, press the dedicated
button on the control panel ( indicator
in the figure below).
Active 0 compartment off:
button partially lighted
Active 0 compartment ON:
button fully lighted
When activated, the lighting bar on the
Active 0 compartment lights up.
The temperature inside the
compartment/drawer, when active, is
approximately 0 degrees.
The following factors are vital for the
compartment to work properly:
-- the temperature of the refrigerator
compartment must be switched
between +2 °C and +4°C.
-- the compartment must be inserted to
enable activation
-- no special function must have been
selected (as Standby, Vacation mode
– where applicable).
If one of these special functions has
been selected, the fresh food inside
the Active0 compartment should be
removed.
Note:
-- - if the lighting bar and symbol does
not light up but the the symbol blinks
when the box is being activated, check
that the box is properly inserted; When
the drawer is inserted, the function is
able to activate again after few seconds
by simple pressing the button. if the
problem persists, contact your nearest
authorized After-sales Service
-- if the Active 0 compartment is active
and the drawer is open, more than 2
minutes, the function is deactivated
automatically. After the drawer is
inserted, the function is able to activate
again after few seconds by simple
pressing the button.
--
irrespective of the state of the box, a
slight noise may be heard: this is normal
and is not a cause for concern.
-- when the box is not active, the
temperature inside it depends on
the general temperature inside the
refrigerator compartment.
In this case, we recommend it is used
to store fruit and vegetables which are
not sensitive to cold temperatures (fruits
of the forest, apples, apricots, carrots,
spinach, lettuce, etc.).
Important: when the function is
activated and there are foodstuffs with
a high water content, condensation may
form on shelves.
Attention:
• Incompatibility with the
“Vacation” function
To guarantee optimal performance,
the “Vacation” and “Active 0” functions
cannot be used at the same time.
Therefore, if the “Vacation” function
has been already engaged, it has to be
disengaged first to activate the “Active
0” function (and viceversa).
REMOVING THE ACTIVE 0
COMPARTMENT
The Active 0 compartment can be
removed to create more space inside
the refrigerator. In this case proceed as
follows:
-- switch off the compartment
-- pull out the drawer
-- pull out the glass shelf
below Active 0
-- remove the white
plastic insulation form
the glass shelf
-- put back the glass
shelf.
Note: the upper shelf and the side
supports cannot be removed.
To restore Active 0 compartment box
operation, make sure you .replace the
white plastic shelf underneath the box
(with the glass shelf assembled into the
plastic) before inserting the drawer and
reactivating the function. The Active 0
compartment satisfies the requirements
of a chill compartment according to
EN 62552. Clean the compartment and
all its parts regularly, using a cloth and
a solution of warm water and neutral
detergent specifically formulated for
refrigerator interiors (take care not
to immerse the white plastic shelf
underneath the compartment in water).
Before cleaning the box (including the
outside), remove the drawer so as to
disconnect the box from the electricity
supply.
Never use abrasive detergents.

FOOD-STORAGE TIPS
FRIDGE COMPARTMENT
The refrigerator is the ideal storage location for ready
meals, fresh and preserved food, dairy products, fruit
and vegetables and beverage.
AIR VENTILATION
The natural circulation of air in the refrigerator
compartment results in zones with different
temperatures. It is coldest directly above the fruits
and vegetables crisper and at the rear wall. It is
warmest at the top front of the compartment.
Insufficient ventilation results in an increase in energy
consumption and reduction of the refrigerating
performance.
Do not cover air slots by food on other staff - they
are optimized for proper air circulation and food
preservation.
HOW TO STORE FRESH FOOD AND BEVERAGE
› Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminum and glass
containers and cling film to wrap foods.
› Always use closed containers for liquids and for
food that may give off or be tainted by odor or flavor
transfer or cover them.
› Foods which give off a large amount ethylene gas
and those that are sensitive to this gas, such as fruit,
vegetables and salad, should always be separated
or wrapped so as not to reduce the storage life; for
example do not store tomatoes together with kiwi
fruits or cabbage.
› Do not store food too close together to enable
sufficient air circulation.
› To avoid bottles falling over, you can use the bottle
holder.
› If you have a little quantity of food to store in the
refrigerator, we recommend to use the shelves above
the crisper for fruits and vegetables since this is the
coolest area of the compartment.
› Be aware to do not close air slots by the food.
WHERE TO STORE FRESH FOOD AND BEVERAGE
› On the fridge shelves: ready meals, tropical fruits,
cheeses, deli.
› In the coldest area (the one above the fruits and
vegetables crisper): meat, fish, cold cuts, cakes
16
› In the fruits and vegetables crisper: fruits, salad,
vegetables.
› In the door: butter, jams, sauces, pickles, cans,
bottles, beverage cartons, eggs.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT
The freezer is the ideal storage location for store
frozen food, make ice cubes and freeze fresh food in
the freezer compartment.
The maximum number of kilograms of fresh food that
can be frozen within a 24-hour period is indicated on
the rating plate (…kg/24h).
If you have a little quantity of food to store in the
freezer, we recommend to use the coldest areas of
your freezer compartment, corresponding to the
middle area.
TIPS FOR FREEZING AND STORING FRESH FOOD
› We recommend to label and date all your frozen
food. Adding a label will help you to identify foods
and to know when they should be used before their
quality deteriorates.Do not re-freeze defrosted food.
› Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in:
aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic
bags, polythene containers with lids or freezer
containers suitable for freezing fresh food.
› Food must be fresh, mature and of prime quality in
order to obtain high quality frozen food.
› Fresh vegetables and fruit should preferably be
frozen as soon as they are picked to maintain the full
original nutritional value, consistency, colour and
flavor. Some meat, especially game, should be hung
before it is frozen.
› Always leave hot food to cool before placing in the
freezer.
› Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately.
Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it
has thawed. Once cooked, the thawed food can be
refrozen.
› Do not freeze bottles with liquid.
› Please use fast cooling function to speed up
cooling of freezing process (see Daily Reference
Guide).
FROZEN FOOD: SHOPPING TIPS
When purchasing frozen food products:
› Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen
food in damaged packaging may have deteriorated).
If the package is swollen or has damp patches, it may
not have been stored under optimal conditions and
defrosting may have already begun.
› When shopping, buy frozen foods at the end of your
trip and transport them in a thermally insulated cool
bag.
18
› Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately
in the freezer.
› If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze
it. Consume within 24 hours.
› Avoid or reduce temperature variations to the
minimum. Respect the best-before date on the
package.
› Always observe the storage information on the
package.
