zone of the fridge compartment, i.e. just above the salad crisper
where the temperature indicator is situated.

Using the freezer to its full potential

• 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. Fresh food must be
stored above the grill in the freezer compartment and if possible
be in direct contact with the walls (side and rear), where the
temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing.
• 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)
• In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the freezer
compartment, you may remove the bins (except the lowest bin
and the special COOL CARE ZONE bin, which has an
adjustabletemperature) and place the food directly onto the
racks/glass shelves supplied [where present].
! 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.
! If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an extended period
of time, the ideal temperature will not be reached in the freezer
compartment and food preservation will be reduced.

Ice tray
The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer drawers
ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no longer comes into contact
with the food placed inside the freezer compartment; furthermore,
the dripping of the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up
the hole after filling with water is also provided).
1. Pull out the tray by pushing it up.
Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with water
through the opening provided.
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°: due to the connected compartments each
mould fills with water ( see diagram ).
4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the tray back,
placing the top part in the corresponding housing and allowing it
to drop in again.
5. When the ice has formed (minimum time approximately 8 hours)
knock the tray against a hard surface and wet the outside so
that the ice cubes come loose and take them out through the
opening.

Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the
appliance from the electricity supply:
It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on OFF
(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.

Cleaning the appliance

• The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber seals may
be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm
water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. Do not use
