SHELVES: with or without grill.
Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the
height is adjustable ( see diagram ), allowing easy storage of
large containers and food. Height can be adjusted without
complete removal of the shelf.
FLEX COOL BOX*
This is the new box to keep meat, fish and cheese fresh. When
positioned in the “lower” part of the fridge compartment, it is
ideal for meat and fish; when moved to the “top” part of the
fridge, it is perfect for cheese. It can be taken out of the fridge
when it is not needed.
CAN RACK shelf: stores cans horizontally ( see diagram ).
Yoghurt, butter or general containers may also be stored here.
ODOUR FILTER*: Some models are fitted with a new odour filter
with active carbons, which ensures better air quality inside the
refrigerator.
The filter is located on the bottom right-hand side, inside the
ventilation opening.
FRUIT and VEGETABLE bin
The salad crispers fitted inside the fridge have been specially
designed for the purpose of keeping fruit and vegetables fresh
and crisp. Open the humidity regulator (position B) if you want to
store food in a less humid environment, or close it (position A) to
store food in a more humid environment.

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 FTZ 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
FTZ functions may be used) or left in the FTZ 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.
FTZ compartment
The FTZ 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 +4àC, 0°C,
-12°C and -18°C; these options are displayed on the control
panel (FREEZER COMPARTMENT knob). The FTZ has an
independent control feature; it may also be deactivated using the
control panel, for use as a normal freezer compartment.
WARNING: the FTZ compartment does not instantly shift
from one temperature setting to another, as it requires a
certain amount of time to stabilise.
