Using the freezer to its full potential

• Use the FREEZER OPERATION knob to adjust the

temperature ( see Description ).

• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already

been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten

(within 24 hours).

• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact

with food that has already been defrosted.

• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which

are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they

could break.

• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is

indicated on the plate containing the technical properties

located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment

(for example: Kg/24h: 4).

• The top drawer can be used to store several types of food

(semifreddo frozen desserts, ice creams and alcohol) at the

most suitable temperature; the lower drawer (see overall view)

is designed to store frozen food in normal conditions.

To freeze food (if the freezer is already in operation),

deactivate the TVZ and empty the top drawer, press the rapid-

freezing SUPER FREEZE button (the corresponding LED lights

up), place the food inside and close the drawer. The function

is deactivated automatically after 24 hours or when the

optimal temperatures have been reached (LED switches off).

The food may now be moved to the lower drawer (so that the

TVZ functions may be used) or left in the TVZ compartment

which, when left inactive, will function as a normal storage

compartment.

• In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the freezer

compartment, you may remove the bins (except the lowest

bin and the special COOL CARE ZONE bin, which has an

adjustable temperature) and place the food directly onto the

evaporator plates.

! To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer

compartment, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes

with food or containers.

! Do not open the door during freezing.

! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer

door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer,

ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.

TVZ compartment

The TVZ is a special compartment in the freezer which allows the

user to choose between 6 different operating modes that may be

set according to specific requirements and the type of food

stored inside. The temperature settings available are 0°C, -6°C,

-12°C and -18°C; these options are displayed on the control

panel (FREEZER COMPARTMENT knob). The TVZ has an

independent control feature; it may also be deactivated using the

control panel, for use as a normal freezer compartment.

WARNING: the TVZ compartment does not instantly shift

from one temperature setting to another, as it requires a

certain amount of time to stabilise.

Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect

the appliance from the electricity supply:

1. set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on

2. pull the plug out of the socket

! If this procedure is not followed, the alarm may sound. This alarm

does not indicate a malfunction. To restore normal operation, it is

sufficient to set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on the desired

value. To disconnect the appliance, follow point 1 and 2.

Cleaning the appliance

• The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber seals

may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in

lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. Do

not use solvents, abrasive products, bleach or ammonia.

• The removable accessories may be soaked in warm water

and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them carefully.

• The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be

removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set

on medium power. The appliance must be switched off and

the plug must be pulled out before cleaning the appliance.

• During the cleaning of the slide rails for the drawers in the

freezer compartment, it may happen that the automatic drawer

closure mechanism is deactivated. To reactivate it, simply close

the drawer a little more forcefully than is usually necessary.

Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours

• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which

are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator

and to prevent the formation of stains, food must always be

covered or sealed properly.

• If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period

of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.

Holiday function

To minimise energy usage when on holiday, it is not necessary to

switch the appliance off. The appliance has a function which

allows it to maintain the temperature of the refrigerator

compartment at approximately 12°C (which can also be used to

conserve make-up and beauty products). The freezer temperature

must be set to the minimum value in order to preserve the food.

To enable the function:

set the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob on

A double acoustic signal informs you when it has been enabled.

A single acoustic signal informs you when it has been disabled.

Optimization Energy Saving function

The "Optimization Energy Saving" function may be activated in

order to optimise energy consumption while maintaining the

cooling performance of the product. This function maximises the

energy saved. It is activated by setting the knobs to "I CARE",

then pressing and holding the Super Freeze button for at least 3

seconds; the Super Freeze indicator light will begin to flash,

signalling the activation of this function.

The "Optimization Energy Saving" function may also be

deactivated by pressing the Super Freeze button again. The

corresponding indicator light will stop flashing, thereby signalling

that the original operating conditions have been restored.

In humid environments, when the "Optimization Energy

Saving" function is activated, slight condensation may form on

the door of the appliance; normal operating conditions are

restored when the function is deactivated.
