Starting up the appliance
1. Plug in the appliance
2. When the appliance is plugged in, it is
normally factory set to a temperature of 5°C.
3. If the led “L” is “ON” press button “B”.
Adjusting the temperature
For temperature adjustment, see the enclosed
product sheet.
Note:
Ambient air temperature, the frequency of
door opening, the introduction of hot food and
unsuitable appliance positioning can all affect
the internal temperature of the refrigerator,
which may differ from that shown on the
display
How to use the refrigerator compartment:
Position the food as shown in the figure.
A Cooked food
B Vegetables
C Fish, meat
D Fruit and vegetables
E Bottles
F Cheese
Note:
• Coverfoodtopreventitdryingout
• Thespacebetweentheshelvesandthe

• Donotplacefoodindirectcontactwiththe
rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.
• Donotplacehotfoodintherefrigerator
• Storeliquidsinclosedcontainers
Important:
Storing vegetables with a high water
content can cause condensation to form
on the glass shelves; this will not affect the
correct operation of the appliance.

Theapplianceisequippedwithaseparatebox
for optimum storage of Meat and Fish.

other parts of the refrigerator compartment.
Thisenablesconsiderablyprolongedstorage
of fresh food (meat and fish) without the need
to freeze. Furthermore, food retains its original
freshness and nutritional properties.
Toensuretheidealtemperatureinthe
meatandfishbox,selecttheintermediate
temperature setting.
Donotstorefruitorvegetablesinthisbox,
since the temperature may drop below 0°C,
causing water contained in the food to freeze.

“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°.
Toactivatethecompartment,pressthe
button shown in the figure for more than
1 second, until the symbol lights up
Thesymbollitindicatesthatthecompartment
is functioning. Press the button again for
more than 1 second to deactivate the
compartment
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 +6°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: If the function is activated and food with high water content is present, condensate
may form on the shelves. In this case, temporarily deactivate the function. When placing small
containers and food products on the top shelf of the “zero degrees” compartment, make sure they
do not accidentally fall between the drawer and the back of the refrigerator compartment.
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:
- to facilitate removal, we recommend emptying (and if necessary, removing) the two lower door
trays
-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 specifically formulated for refrigerator interiors (take care not to immerse the white
plasticshelfunderneaththeboxinwater).
Before cleaning the box (including the outside), remove the drawer so as to disconnect
the box from the electricity supply.
Never use abrasive detergents.

The freezer compartment can
also be used for freezing fresh food. The
quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in
24 hours is shown on the rating plate.
Freezing fresh food
• Therecommendedpositionforfreshfood
is that indicated in Fig. 1, if a wire shelf is
present, or that in Fig. 2 for models with no
wire shelf.
• Placefoodinthemiddleofthecompartment,
making sure it does not touch already
frozen food, but is placed at a distance of
approx.20mm(fig. 1 and 2).
• Forappliancewitha
compartment,
press button (D) to activate the Fast Freeze
function:theled(E) lights up and remains lit
for the duration of freezing.
• Afterapprox.26hthefunctionswitchesoff
automatically and the led (E)switchesoff.To
cancel the function manually, press button (D)
again.
The table alongside shows the
recommended maximum storage time for
frozen fresh foods.
When purchasing frozen food products:
• Makesurethepackagingisnotdamaged,
since the product quality may have
deteriorated. If the package is swollen or has
damp patches, it may not have been stored
under optimal conditions and defrosting may
have already begun.
• Whenshopping,leavefrozenfoodpurchases
until last and transport the products in a
thermally insulated cool bag.
• Placetheitemsinthecompartmentassoon
as you get home.
• Iffoodhasdefrostedevenpartially,donot
re-freeze it. Consume within 24 hours.
• Avoid,orreducetemperaturevariationstothe
minimum. Respect the best-before date on
the package.
• Alwaysfollowthestorageinstructionsonthe
frozen food packages.
Making ice cubes
• Filltheicecubetray2/3fullandplaceitinthe

HOW TO USE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
(if present)

Before defrosting the appliance, unplug it
or switch off the power at the mains.
Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment
is completely automatic. Droplets of
water on the rear wall of the refrigerator
compartment indicate that the periodic
automatic defrost cycle is in progress.
The defrost water is automatically routed
to a drain outlet and into a container from
which it evaporates.
Clean the defrost water drain outlet regularly
using the tool supplied with the appliance
in order to ensure defrost water is removed
correctly. (Fig. 1)
Defrosting the compartment
(if present)
Defrostthe compartment once or twice
ayearorwheniceformationisexcessive.
Itisperfectlynormalforicetoform.The
amount of ice which forms and the rate at
which it accumulates will vary depending on
ambient conditions and the frequency with
which the freezer door is opened. Ice formation
is concentrated at the top of the compartment
and does not affect the efficiency of the
appliance.
If possible, defrost the freezer when it is nearly
empty.
• Removethefoodfromthefreezer
compartment and group together in a cool
place or in a cool bag.
• Leavethedooropentoallowthefrostto
melt.
• Cleantheinteriorofthefreezerwitha
spongeandwarmwaterand/orneutral
detergent.Donotuseabrasivesubstances.
• Rinsetheinterioranddrythoroughly.
• Putthefoodbackintothefreezer.
• Closethedoor.
Plug the appliance back in and switch on,
following the instructions in chapter “How to
operatetherefrigeratorcompartment”.The
settings and selections made prior to switching
off will be restored.
