from the power supply and then reconnected, the
control unit remembers previously set temperatures for
freezer and refrigerator.
FAN WITH A BUTTON
The fan improves temperature distribution inside the
refrigerator compartment, allowing better preservation
of stored food.
By default, the fan is ACTIVE.
It is advisable to keep the fan active, so that the "Fresh
Control" / "ProFresh" function can work and also when
the ambient air temperature is over 27 ÷ 28°C or if you
perceive drops of water on the glass shelves or in the
severe humidity conditions.
Note
Do not obstruct the air intake area with food
items.
When "Fresh Control" / "ProFresh" is disabled
remember to turn off the fan when there is a lower
ambient air temperature.
To turn off the fan press the button (1a).
If the appliance has the fan it can be equipped with the
antibacterial filter.
Remove it from the box (found in the crisper drawer
(item 7) and insert into the cover of fan (item 1b).
The replacement procedure is attached with the filter.
“ZERO DEGREES” BOX
(depending on the model)
The "Zero Degrees" box is
specifically designed to maintain a
low temperature and a suitable
humidity level, in order to keep
foods fresher for longer (e.g.
meat, fish, fruit and winter
vegetables).
Activating and deactivating the box
The temperature inside the box, when active, is
approximately 0°.
The following factors are vital for the "Zero Degrees" box
to work properly:
- the refrigerator compartment must be switched on
- the temperature of the refrigerator compartment must
be between +2°C and +5°C
- the box must be inserted to enable activation
- no special functions must have been selected (Standby,
Cooling-Off, Vacation – where applicable).
If one of these special functions has been selected, the
"Zero Degrees" box must be deactivated manually, and
any fresh food inside it removed. If manual deactivation
does not take place, the box will be deactivated
automatically after 8 hours.
Note:
- if the symbol does not light up when the box is
activated, check that the box is properly inserted; if the
problem persists, contact your nearest authorized
After-sales Service
- if the box is active and the drawer open, the symbol on
the control panel may be deactivated automatically. If
the drawer is inserted, the symbol will become active
again
- irrespective of the state of the box, a slight noise may
be heard: this is normal and is not a cause for concern.
- when the box is not active, the temperature inside it
depends on the general temperature inside the
refrigerator compartment. In this case, we recommend
it is used to store fruit and vegetables which are not
sensitive to cold temperatures (fruits of the forest,
apples, apricots, carrots, spinach, lettuce, etc.).
Important: when the function is activated and there are
foodstuffs with a high water content, condensation may
form on shelves. In this case, disable the function
temporarily.
Removing the "Zero Degrees" box:
The "Zero Degrees" box can be removed to create more
space inside the refrigerator. In this case proceed as
follows:
- switch off the box
- pull out the drawer and the white plastic shelf
underneath the box.
Note: the upper shelf and the side supports cannot be
removed.
To restore "Zero Degrees" box operation, make sure you
replace the white plastic shelf underneath the box before
inserting the drawer and reactivating the function. To
optimise energy consumption, we recommend you
deactivate the "Zero Degrees" box and remove it.
Clean the box and all its parts regularly, using a cloth and
a solution of warm water and neutral detergent
