area" is the one highlighted in the legend

REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

“0° Zone” compartment*

The “0° ZONE” compartment is specifically designed to maintain a low temperature and the correct humidity to preserve fresh food for longer (for example, meat, fish, fruits and winter vegetables).

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 off the compartment. The temperature inside depends on the general temperature of the refrigerator.

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.

Legend

TEMPERATE ZONE

Suggested for storage of tropical fruit, cans, drink, eggs, sauces, pickles, butter, jam

COOL ZONE

Suggested for storage of cheese, milk, daily food, delicatessen, yoghurt

COOLEST AREA

Suggested for storage of cold cuts, desserts, meat and fish

FRUIT & VEGETABLE DRAWER

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.

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 specifically 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.

Fan*

The Fan improves temperature distribution inside the product, allowing better preservation of stored food and reduction of excess humidity. The fan is switched on by default and can be activate/ deactivate manually. The fan operating mode is adjusted based

on product condition. You can turn the fan on/off by pressing the “Vacation” and “Alarm” buttons at the same time for 3 seconds.

* Available only on certain models

The lit 6th Sense FreshControl symbol indicates that the fan is on and therefore the 6th Sense FreshControl function is on. If the ambient temperature exceeds 27°C, or if drops of water are present on the glass shelves, it is essential that the fan is on to ensure the proper preservation of the food. Deactivation of the fan allows energy consumption to be optimised.
