SUPER FREEZE
Thanks to the super freeze feature you can freeze food in much shorter times. In this way the water contained in food transforms into micro ice crystals.
They are so small that they don’t damage the food tissues. In this way the nutritional values both of fresh and cooked foods remain unchanged.
At the end of the freezing process the temperature reverts to the programmed level.
In order to get better results, we recommend that you enable this feature 1 hour before you start inserting food inside the freezer compartment. This feature works for max. 24 hours.
ACTIVE OXYGEN *
This device releases ozone molecules inside the refrigerator; ozone is a natural substance which combats bacteria and microorganisms, reducing their proliferation while limiting unpleasant odours.
Automatically defines the amount of ozone required for prolonging the freshness of foodstuffs, eliminating odours and preventing bacteria build-up.There may be a slight distinctive odour inside the refrigerator. The very same smell can sometimes be detected during a storm, due to the ozone produced as the charge in the lightning bolts is released; this is completely normal.
The amount produced by the device is very small and abates quickly as the antibacterial action takes place.
Device is activated pressing the dedicated key on the display located in front of the fridge door.
By holding the active oxygen button for 8 seconds you can enable the eco feature.
ECO*
Controls the activation and deactivation of the eco function (optimal operating temperature for minimal energy consumption). Consumption will be optimized 24h after the function was enabled.
When this function is activated, the eco led on the keypad lights up. Press and hold the eco button for 8 seconds so that the corresponding led begins to flash; this will allow you to set the temperature to in
the refrigerator compartment and in the freezer compartment. Two minutes after the most recent user interaction, the display enters its energy saving mode.
To exit the energy saving mode, simply press any button or open the refrigerator door.
HOLIDAY
Activates or deactivates the holiday function (the holiday led on the keypad lights up), while the temperature values +12°c
and -18°c appear on the refrigerator and freezer displays respectively. Two minutes after the most recent user interaction, the
display enters its energy saving mode (see eco function).
NO-FROST REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
Refrigerator compartment defrosting is completely automatic. Droplets of water on the rear wall inside the refrigerator compartment indicate that the automatic defrost phase is in progress.
The No Frost system circulates cold air continuously to collect humidity and prevent ice and frost formation.
The system maintains an optimal humidity level in the compartment,
preserving the original quality of the food, preventing the food from sticking together and making defrosting a thing of the past.
Do not block the aeration cells by placing food or containers in direct contact with the refrigerating back panel.
Close bottles and wrap food tightly.
NO-FROST FREEZER COMPARTMENT
No Frost freezers provide chilled air circulation around the storage areas, and prevent the formation of ice, thereby completely eliminating the need for defrosting.
Frozen items don’t stick to the walls, labeling stays legible and storage space remains neat and clear.
COMPARTMENT 3 IN 1 ZONE
This is the new box which offers maximum flexibility in order to stock your food in an excellent way.
• store meat, fish and delicate food;
• rapid cooling of hot food from 70°C to 3°C and of other fresh foods and leftovers
• low temperature defrosting (it inhibits the proliferation of
microorganisms).
You can get the 0°C temperature, in standard conditions, when the fridge compartment temperature is at about 4°C. By
decreasing the fridge temperature you decrease the CHILLER compartment temperature too.
HUMIDITY CONTROL *
Open the humidity regulator (position B) if you want to store food in a less humid environment like fruit, or close it (position A) to store food in a more humid environment like vegetable.
REFRIGERATOR LIGHT
If the LED light system does not work, please contact the Service to replace it.
Important: The refrigerator compartment light switches on when the refrigerator door is opened . If the door is kept open for
more than 8 minutes the light will be automatically switched off.
