• FREEZER TEMPERATURE
  To adjust the Freezer Temperature, press the Freezer Operation °C button. The Freezer Temperature can be adjusted between -18°C and -26°C, as shown by the Freezer Temperature LEDs.

• SUPER FREEZE
  The use of this function is recommended when placing a very high quantity of food to be frozen in the freezer compartment. Press the SUPER FREEZE button to enable or disable the function. When the Super Freeze function is activated, blue light illuminates on the freezer display. After 24 hours place the food to be frozen in the upper basket of the freezer compartment. The function is automatically disabled after 48 hours or can be manually disabled by pressing the Super Freeze °C button.

• FRIDGE TEMPERATURE
  To adjust the Fridge Temperature, press the Fridge Operation °C button. The Fridge Temperature can be adjusted between +2°C and +8°C, as shown by the Fridge Temperature LEDs.

  Using the Speed Cool function it is possible to increase the cooling in the refrigerator compartment. The use of this function is recommended when placing a very high quantity of food in the refrigerator compartment. Press the Speed Cool button to activate the Speed Cool function. When the speed cooling function is activated, blue light illuminates the refrigerator display. The function is automatically disabled after 6 hours or can be manually disabled by pressing the Speed Cool button.

• REFRIGERATOR LIGHT
  The light system inside the refrigerator compartment uses LED light, allowing better lighting as well as very low energy consumption. If the LED light system does not work, please contact the Service to replace it.

• 6th SENSE
  6th Sense technology automatically works to ensure optimal conditions to preserve the stored food.

• SMART DISPLAY
  This optional function can be used to save energy. To activate the Smart Display, press the Fridge °C and Freezer °C buttons at the same time for 3 seconds until an audible signal sounds. To deactivate this function repeat the same procedure. Remember that this function does not disconnect the appliance from the power supply, but only reduces the power consumed by the external display.

**TEMPERATURE INDICATOR ***
The temperature indicator informs you if the temperature in this cavity is cold enough for storage with the word “OK”.

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

2. If the word “OK” does not appear it means that the temperature is too high: set a lower temperature and wait approximately 10 hours until the temperature has been stabilized.

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 0 °C / SAFE DEFROST ***
A compartment designed to keep delicate food such as meat and fish fresh. The low temperature in the compartment makes it possible to store the food for up to one week – tests performed on meat products – without changing its nutrients, appearance, and flavor. The compartment is also very suitable for healthy food defrosting, as low-temperature defrosting prevents any proliferation of microorganisms while protecting its taste and organoleptic properties. It is not suitable for fruit, vegetables, and green salad. But it can be used for stuffed fresh pasta and even cooked food or leftovers.

**FRUIT AND VEGETABLE BIN ***
The salad crispers fitted inside the fridge have been specially designed for the purpose of keeping fruit and vegetables fresh and crisp. Open the humidity regulator (position B) if you want to store food in a less humid environment like fruit, or close it (position A) to store food in a more humid environment like vegetable

**SHELVES ***
Due to the special guides, the shelves are removable and the height is adjustable, allowing easy storage of large containers and food.

FRIDGE COMPARTMENT
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. If you have a little quantity of food to store in the refrigerator, we recommend using the shelves above the crisper for fruits and vegetables since this is the coolest area of the compartment.

Foods that give off a large amount of 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. To avoid bottles falling over, you can use the bottle holder (available on selected models). Do not store food too close together to enable sufficient air circulation.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT
The freezer is the ideal storage location for storing frozen food, making ice cubes, and freezing 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 using the coldest areas of your freezer compartment, corresponding to the middle area.
