**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 flavour. 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.
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
Temperature indicator informs you if the temperature in this cavity is cold
enough for storage with the word “OK”.
-
Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see the picture below).
-
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 stabilised.
-
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.
SHELVES
Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height is adjustable, allowing easy storage of large containers and food.
ICE DEVICE
After pouring water in the special ice cups, place them in their places in the
ice device. After about 2 hours, the ice cubes will be ready. In order to get
the ice cubes, it will be sufficient to turn the two buttons to the right. The
ice cubes will fall in to the tray below, ready to be used.

HOW TO STORE FOOD AND BEVERAGE
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 to use the shelves above the crisper for fruits and vegetables since this is the coolest area of the compartment.
- 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.
- 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 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.
