Use and care guide

The Active 0 compartment 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
COMPARTMENT
To activate/deactivate the Active 0
compartment, press the dedicated
button on the control panel ( indicator
in the figure below).
Active 0 compartment off:
button partially lighted
Active 0 compartment ON:
button fully lighted
When activated, the lighting bar on the
Active 0 compartment lights up.
The temperature inside the
compartment/drawer, when active, is
approximately 0 degrees.
The following factors are vital for the
compartment to work properly:
- the temperature of the refrigerator
compartment must be switched
between +2 °C and +4°C.
- the compartment must be inserted to
enable activation
- no special function must have been
selected (as Standby, Vacation
mode – where applicable).
If one of these special functions has
been selected, the fresh food inside
the Active0 compartment should be
removed.
Note:
- if the lighting bar and symbol does
not light up but the the symbol blinks
when the box is being activated, check
that the box is properly inserted; When
the drawer is inserted, the function is
able to activate again after few seconds
by simple pressing the button. if the
problem persists, contact your nearest
authorized After-sales Service
- if the Active 0 compartment is active
and the drawer is open, more than 2
minutes, the function is deactivated
automatically.
After the drawer is inserted, the
function is able to activate again after
few seconds by simple pressing the
button.
- 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.
Attention:
• Incompatibility with the
“Vacation” function
To guarantee optimal performance,
the “Vacation” and “Active 0” functions
cannot be used at the same time.
Therefore, if the “Vacation” function
has been already engaged, it has to be
disengaged first to activate the “Active
0” function (and viceversa).
REMOVING THE ACTIVE 0
COMPARTMENT
The Active 0 compartment can be
removed to create more space inside
the refrigerator. In this case proceed as
follows:
- switch o the compartment
- pull out the drawer
- pull out the glass shelf below Active 0
- remove the white plastic insulation
form the glass shelf
- put back the glass shelf.
Note: the upper shelf and
the side supports cannot

To restore Active 0
compartment box
operation, make sure you
.replace the white plastic
shelf underneath the box (with the glass
shelf assembled into the plastic) before
inserting the drawer and reactivating
the function. The Active 0 compartment
satisfies the requirements of a chill
compartment according to EN 62552.
Clean the compartment 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
compartment in water).
Before cleaning the box (including the
