pudding,cream cheese , cold cuts, desserts, meat and sh).
“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

.
.
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.
Humidity control technology coupled with Active0 provides the best
food preservation when the food is not completely packed.
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.
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.
PROCEDURE TO CLEAN THE STOP FROST ACCESSORY
1. Open the freezer compartment door and remove the upper
drawer.
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.
To remove the frost on the STOP FROST accessory follow the cleaning
procedure demonstrated 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.
