Refrigerator compartment
Depending on the model, the product may be equipped with a special “Zero Degrees” compartment, which
is ideal for storing fresh meat and fish.
Warning: do not clean refrigerator accessories in a dishwasher.
Note: the ambient temperature, how often the doors are opened and the position of the appliance may
affect the internal temperatures in the two compartments. Set the temperatures depending on these factors.
Note: in very humid conditions, condensation may form in the refrigerator compartment, especially on the
glass shelves. In this case, it is recommended that you close containers with liquids in (e.g. a pot of stock),
wrap up food with a high water content (e.g. vegetables) and turn on the fan, if there is one.
Removing the fruit and vegetable drawer (depending on the model)
Pull the drawer outwards as far as it will go, lift it up and take it out.
To make it easier to remove the fruit and vegetable drawer, it may be necessary to empty (and possibly
remove) the two lower door shelves and then continue to remove the drawer.
Fan and antibacterial anti-odour filter (depending on the model)
The fan allows for the even distribution of the temperatures inside the compartments and, consequently,
better preservation of the food and reduction of excess humidity. Do not obstruct the ventilation area. The
fan can be turned on/off manually (see the Quick Guide); if it is turned on, it operates automatically when
necessary.
Freezer compartment
Model with separate freezer compartment
The freezer compartment allows for the storage of frozen food (for the period indicated on the
packaging) and the freezing of fresh food. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is
written on the rating plate. Arrange the fresh food in the freezing area inside the freezer compartment (see
Quick Guide), leaving enough space around the food packages to allow air to circulate freely. It is
advisable that you do not re-freeze food that has partially defrosted. It is important to wrap the food in a
way that prevents the ingress of water, humidity or condensation.
Making ice cubes
Fill 2/3 of the ice tray (if available) with water and put it back in the freezer compartment. Do not use
sharp or pointed objects to remove the ice under any circumstances.
Removing the drawers (depending on the model)
Pull the drawers outwards as far as they will go, lift them up and
remove them. To get more volume, the freezer compartment can be used
without the drawers.
Make sure that the door is closed properly after putting the food back
on the grilles/shelves.
Models with an internal product compartment
In the freezer compartment you can also freeze fresh food.
The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is written
on the rating plate.
How to freeze fresh food:
• arrange the food on the grille, if present (figure 1), or directly on the
bottom of the compartment (figure 2)
• put the food in the middle of the compartment without it
coming into contact with food that is already frozen, keeping a
distance of about 20 mm (figure 1 and 2).
