6.2 Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator compartment are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.
To ensure correct air circulation, do not move the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.
6.3 Fresh Zone
The Fresh Zone drawer protects the nutrients, taste, texture, colour and
weight of fruits and vegetables so you can enjoy quality food for longer and
throw away less. The Fresh Zone is located in the bottom part of the
refrigerator, directly above the MultiChill 0° drawer.
6.4 Humidity control
The glass shelf incorporates a device with slits, adjustable by means of a
sliding lever, which makes it possible to regulate the humidity in the
vegetable drawer.
Do not place any food products on the humidity control device.
The position of the humidity control depends on the type and amounts of fruit and vegetables:
- Slits on MIN: recommended for small amounts of fruit and vegetables. In this setting, the natural moisture content in fruit and vegetables is preserved longer.
- Slits on MAX: recommended for large amounts of fruit and vegetables. In this setting, more air circulation results in a lower humidity.
6.5 Multichill 0°
The appliance comes with the Multichill
0° marked with / O , a specialized compartment that may be used either as a
chilling or refrigerating compartment, depending on your actual needs.
To set a temperature between 5°C and -3°C, press repeatedly the corresponding compartment key until you reach the desired temperature. The temperature indicator flashes for 5 seconds after the selection.
- Set the 4°C to use the Multichill 0° as a fridge fresh food compartment.
- Set the 0°C to use the Multichill 0°as a 0°C star compartment.
Other temperature settings are considered as incorrect use of the appliance
and they do not guarantee the proper preservation of food.
You may turn the Multichill 0° off by pressing repeatedly the corresponding
compartment key until you reach “- -“. The temperature indicator flashes for 5
seconds after the selection. This indicates the Multichill 0° stops
refrigerating.
After switching off, the Multichill 0° compartment obtains the ambient temperature.
6.6 Removing and installing the freezer drawers
To remove a drawer from the freezer compartment:
1. Open the freezer door completely.
2. Pull the drawer out until it stops.
3. Lift slightly the front of the drawer and detach it from the appliance.
To put the drawer back into its initial position, follow the above steps in reverse order.
6.7 Fan
The refrigerator compartment is equipped with a device that allows rapid
cooling of food and keeps a more uniform temperature in the compartment.
This device activates automatically when needed.
Do not block the air inlet and outlet openings when storing food, otherwise air circulation provided by the fan will be impaired.
6.8 Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen
and deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the Super Freezing function at least 24 hours
before placing the food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
Store the fresh food evenly distributed in the first, second and third
compartment or drawer from the top.
The maximum amount of food that can be frozen without adding other fresh food
during 24 hours is specified on the rating plate (a label located inside the
appliance).
6.9 Storage of frozen food
When activating an appliance for the first time or after a period out of use,
before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run at least
3 hours with the Super Freezing function switched on.
Keep the food no closer than 15 mm from the door.
CAUTION!
In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if
the power has been off for longer than the value shown on rating plate under
“rising time”, the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked
immediately then cooled and then re-frozen.
6.10 Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the
refrigerator compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time
available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.
7. HINTS AND TIPS
7.1 Hints for energy saving
- Freezer: The internal configuration of the appliance is the one that ensures the most efficient use of energy.
- Fridge: Most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the drawers in the bottom part of the appliance and shelves evenly distributed. Position of the door bins does not affect energy consumption.
- Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than necessary.
- Freezer: The colder the temperature setting, the higher the energy consumption.
- Fridge: Do not set too high temperature to save energy unless it is required by the characteristics of the food.
- If the ambient temperature is high and the temperature control is set to low temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice formation on the evaporator. In this case, set the temperature control toward higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and to save energy this way.
- Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover the ventilation grilles or holes.
- Make sure that food products inside the appliance allow air circulation through dedicated holes in the rear interior of the appliance.
7.2 Hints for freezing
- Activate Super Freezing function at least 24 hours before placing the food inside the freezer compartment.
- Before freezing wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, plastic film or bags, airtight containers with lid.
- For more efficient freezing and thawing divide food into small portions.
- It is recommended to put labels and dates on all your frozen food. This will help to identify foods and to know when they should be used before their deterioration.
- The food should be fresh when being frozen to preserve good quality. Especially fruits and vegetables should be frozen after the harvest to preserve all of their nutrients.
- Do not freeze bottles or cans with liquids, in particular drinks containing carbon dioxide – they may explode during freezing.
- Do not put hot food in the freezer compartment. Cool it down at room temperature before placing it inside the compartment.
- To avoid increase in temperature of already frozen food, do not place fresh unfrozen food directly next to it. Place food at room temperature in the part of the freezer compartment where there is no frozen food.
- Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer. Risk of frostbites.
- Do not re-freeze defrosted food. If the food has defrosted, cook it, cool it down and then freeze it.
7.3 Hints for storage of frozen food
-
Freezer compartment is the one marked with .
-
Good temperature setting that ensures preservation of frozen food products is a temperature less than or equal to -18°C.
Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life. -
The whole freezer compartment is suitable for storage of frozen food products.
-
Leave enough space around the food to allow air to circulate freely.
-
For adequate storage refer to food packaging label to see the shelf life of food.
-
It is important to wrap the food in such a way that prevents water, humidity or condensation from getting inside.
7.4 Shopping tips
After grocery shopping:
- Ensure that the packaging is not damaged – the food could be deteriorated. If the package is swollen or wet, it might have not been stored in the optimal conditions and defrosting may have already started.
- To limit the defrosting process buy frozen goods at the end of your grocery shopping and transport them in a thermal and insulated cool bag.
- Place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer after coming back from the shop.
- If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume it as soon as possible.
- Respect the expiry date and the storage information on the package.

7.6 Hints for fresh food refrigeration
-
Good temperature setting that ensures preservation of fresh food is a temperature less than or equal to + 4°C.
Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life of food. -
Cover the food with packaging to preserve its freshness and aroma.
-
Always use closed containers for liquids and for food, to avoid flavours or odours in the compartment.
-
To avoid the cross-contamination between cooked and raw food, cover the cooked food and separate it from the raw one.
-
It is recommended to defrost the food inside the fridge.
-
Do not insert hot food inside the appliance. Make sure it has cooled down at room temperature before inserting it.
-
To prevent food waste the new stock of food should always be placed behind the old one.
7.7 Hints for food refrigeration
- Fresh food compartment is the one marked (on the rating plate) with
- Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable packaging and place it on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
- Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly (eliminate the soil) and place in a special drawer (vegetable drawer).
- It is advisable not to keep the exotic fruits like bananas, mangos, papayas etc. in the refrigerator.
- Vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and garlic should not be kept in the refrigerator.
- Butter and cheese: place in an airtight container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible.
- Bottles: close them with a cap and place them on the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack.
- Always refer to the expiry date of the products to know how long to keep them.
