"ACTIVE OXYGEN" FUNCTION
Through the emission of a small quantity of ozone, this function
enables a reduction in the proliferation of bacteria and microorganisms
inside the refrigerator and limits bad odours.
To activate the Active Oxygen function, press the
button on the
control panel.
When the function is activated, a coloured light will appear on the
device, according to the following cyclical features:
• Green light: ozone emission phase
• Blue light: antibacterial and anti-odour action phase (without
ozone emission)
To deactivate the function, simply press the
button on the control
panel.
Note: when the Active Oxygen function is activated, a faint odour might
be perceived inside the refrigerator (the same odour that sometimes
accompanies a thunder storm due to the zone produced by the lightning):
it is absolutely normal.
Note: Disabling the function optimizes energy consumption. Keep the
bottle rack grid in the upper parts of the comparison to optimize the
function.

FOOD CARE ZONE*
The drawer is specically designed to maintain a low temperature
to preserve fresh food for longer time (for example , fresh pasta,
sour cream, pesto/salsa,homemade preparation,pastry cream,
pudding,cream cheese , cold cuts, desserts, meat and sh).
The internal temperature of the drawer is between +3 °C and -2 °C.
For the correct functioning of the drawer, it is necessary that Vacation
mode option is not selected.
“0° ZONE” COMPARTMENT*
The “0°ZONE” compartment is specically designed to maintain a low
temperature and the correct humidity to preserve fresh food for longer
(for example, meat, sh, fruits and winter vegetables).
Humidity control technology coupled with Active0 provides the best
food preservation when the food is not completely packed.
TURNING ON AND TURNING OFF THE COMPARTMENT
The internal temperature of the compartment is approximately 0°
when the compartment is turned on.
To turn on the compartment, press the button (1) for more than one
second until the symbol (2) lights up. The lit symbol (2) means that the
compartment is working. Press the button (1) again for more than one
second to turn o the compartment. The temperature inside depends
on the general temperature of the refrigerator.

For the correct functioning of the “0°ZONE” compartment, it is
necessary that:
• the appliance is turned on;
• the fridge temperature is between +2°C and +6°C;
• the “0°ZONE” compartment is turned on
• Vacation Mode and Stand by are not selected
Note:
- if the symbol does not light up when you turn on the compartment,
check that the drawer is properly inserted; if the problem persists
contact the authorised Technical Assistance Service;
- when the “0°ZONE” compartment is inserted in the appliance you
may hear a faint noise, which you should consider as normal;
Important: be careful when positioning food and containers that are
small in size on the upper shelf of the “0°ZONE“ compartment in order
to prevent them accidentally falling between the shelf and the back
wall of the refrigerator compartment.
REMOVING THE “0° ZONE“ COMPARTMENT
Carry out the following steps:
1. To make it easier to remove the compartment, we recommend
that you empty (and possibly remove) the lower door shelves.
2. Remove the compartment by rotating it upwards.
3. Remove the white plastic shelf under the compartment.
Note: it is not possible to remove the upper shelf and side supports.
To use the “0° ZONE“ compartment again, carefully reposition the
white plastic shelf under the compartment before inserting the drawer
and turning the function back on.
To have a larger refrigerator volume and to reduce energy
consumption, it is recommended to remove the “0°ZONE“
compartment.
Clean the compartment and its components occasionally using a cloth
and a solution of warm water (taking care not to submerge the white
plastic shelf under the drawer) and neutral cleaning agents specically
for cleaning the inside of the refrigerator. Do not use abrasive cleaning
agents.
Before cleaning the compartment (also externally) it is necessary
to remove the drawer to disconnect the electrical supply.
STOP FROST SYSTEM*
The STOP FROST SYSTEM facilitates the defrost procedure for the
freezer compartment.
The STOP FROST accessory is designed to collect some of the frost
that forms in the freezer compartment and it is easy to remove and
clean, therefore reducing the time needed to defrost the freezer
compartment.
To remove the frost on the STOP FROST accessory follow the cleaning
procedure demonstrated below.
PROCEDURE TO CLEAN THE STOP FROST ACCESSORY
1. Open the freezer compartment door and remove the upper
drawer.
2.
Unfasten the STOP FROST accessory and remove it, taking care not
to drop it on the glass shelf below.
Note: if the accessory is jammed or dicult to remove, do not keep
trying to remove it, but proceed with the complete defrost of the freezer
compartment.
3.
Close the door of the freezer compartment.
Page 3
4. Remove the frost on the accessory by rinsing it under running (not
hot) water.
5.
Let the accessory drip dry and dry the plastic parts with a soft
cloth.
6. Reinsert the accessory by placing the back part on the projections
shown in gure, then refasten the handle of the accessory to the
clasps above.
7.
Reinsert the upper drawer and close the door of the freezer
compartment.
It is possible to clean the STOP FROST accessory on its own without
completely defrosting the freezer compartment.
Cleaning the STOP FROST accessory regularly helps to reduce the need
to completely defrost the freezer compartment.
Note: the product specications, including volume and energy, are
calculated without the STOP FROST accessory.
