for the refrigerator compartment is +4°C.

SUPER FREEZE FUNCTION
This function is recommended for freezing fresh food. Fresh food should be
frozen as quickly as possible, for the best possible preservation and for
keeping its nutritional value. Press the Super freeze button when you need to
freeze fresh food; the Super freeze indicator will come on.
We recommend you press the Super freeze button 24 hours before putting the
food in, in order to prepare the freezer compartment for the best possible
freezing conditions. We recommend you use the bottom drawer to maximize the
freezing capacity.
The Super freeze function is automatically deactivated after 48 hours, or you
can disable it manually by pressing the Super freeze button.

REFRIGERATION COMPARTMENT

- Droplets of water on the rear wall inside the refrigerator compartment indicate that the automatic defrost phase is in progress.
- The defrost water is automatically run into a drain hole and collected in a container, where it evaporates.
**Fresh Zone 0°C drawer ***
The Fresh Zone 0°C it is a drawer (b) ideal to store meat and fish. By
decreasing/increasing the fridge temperature, you impact the Fresh Zone 0°C

mechanical feature operating all the time and it cannot be switched off.
**Humidity Control***
Turn the knob to the left if you are storing vegetables (for which a more
humid environment is recommended), rotate the knob to the right if you are
storing fruit (for which a less humid environment is recommended), turn the

**Foldable shelf***
This shelf can be used in three different ways:
- Full-depth, to use the entire surface.
- Half-depth, to use the rear part and at the same time create space for taller items (like bottles and jugs) on the shelf below. To adjust the shelf to half-depth, slightly raise the front part then pull it in.
- Flipped up if you need to make space for tall or bulky items on the shelf below. To flip the shelf up, first adjust it to the halfway position from half-depth. Flip the shelf down to go back to using it in half-depth and full-depth.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Total No Frost freezers provide chilled air circulation around the storage
areas, and prevent the formation of ice, thereby completely eliminating the
need for defrosting.
Frozen items don’t stick to the walls, labeling stays legible and storage
space remains neat and clear.
The freezer compartment allows for the storage of frozen food and the freezing
of fresh food.
The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in a specific time period is
indicated on the rating plate. Arrange the fresh food in the freezing area
inside the freezer compartment, leaving enough space around it to allow air to
circulate freely. Avoid allowing fresh food to come into direct contact with
frozen food. Load limits are determined by baskets, flaps, drawers, shelves
etc..
Make sure that these components can still close easily after loading. The freezing zone’s drawer/compartment is shown in the picture above. To optimize freezing speed and get more storage space, the freezer compartment can be used without the freezer drawers and the food can be placed directly on the bottom of the compartment. To avoid food waste, please refer to the recommended setting and storage found in the online user manual.
Ice cubes
Fill 2/3 of the ice tray with water and place it back in the freezer
compartment. Do not use sharp or pointed objects to remove the ice.
ACCESSORIES*
GENERAL INFORMATION
The drawers, baskets, and shelves should be kept in their current position
unless otherwise specified in this quick guide.
The light system inside the refrigerator compartment uses LED lights, which
provide better lighting and use less energy than traditional bulbs.
Doors and lids of the refrigerator should be removed before disposal, to avoid
children or animals getting trapped inside.
