Fan with a button

The fan helps to achieve better temperature distribution inside the refrigerator compartment, and optimizes food storage conditions Press button (1b) to turn the fan on when the ambient temperature is above 27/ 28°C, when condensation occurs on the shelves, or in the instances of high air humidity.

Note: Do not obstruct the air intake area (1a) with food items. The fan ONLY runs if the compressor is working. Make sure to turn the fan off in lower ambient temperatures.

While the fan is ON, you have the option to fit in the Hygiene+ filter which helps trap and kill airborne microorganisms caught within it. Remove it from the box (found in the crisper drawer (item 5)) and insert into the grille (item 1c). For any optimum performance of the Hygiene+ filter, replace the filter every 6 months.

1. Remove the filter and dispose as a whole (grate box + insert).

- Flashing of the green indicator lamps (4, 5, 6).

- Activation of a beep. When the “Black-out” alarm is active, it is recommended to proceed as follows:

- If the food in the freezer is not frozen but is still cold, transfer it promptly to the refrigerator compartment and consume within 24 hours.

- If the food in the freezer is frozen, it has re-frozen after thawing caused by the power failure. The consumption of re-frozen food is not recommended because it has lost its nutritive value and may be hazardous to your health.
