SAFEGUARDING
THE ENVIRONMENT
EN
DISPOSAL OF PACKAGING
MATERIALS
The packaging material is 100%
recyclable and is marked with the
recycle symbol:
The various parts of the
packaging must therefore be
disposed of responsibly and in
full compliance with local
authority regulations governing
waste disposal.
SCRAPPING OF HOUSEHOLD
APPLIANCES
This appliance is manufactured
with recyclable or reusable
materials. Dispose of it in
accordance with local waste
disposal regulations.
For further information on the
treatment, recovery and recycling
of household electrical
appliances, contact your
competent local authority, the
collection service for household
waste or the store where you
purchase the appliance.
This appliance is marked in
compliance with European
Directive 2002/96/EC, Waste
Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE).
By ensuring this product is
disposed of correctly, you will
help prevent potential negative
consequences for the
environment and human health,
which could otherwise be caused
by inappropriate waste handling
of this product.
This symbol on the product
or on the accompanying
documentation indicates
that it should not be treated as
domestic waste but must be
taken to an appropriate collection
centre for the recycling of
electrical and electronic
equipment.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Install the appliance in a dry, well
ventilated room far away from
any heat source (e.g. radiator,
cooker, etc.) and in a place not
exposed directly to the sun. If
required, use an insulating plate.
To guarantee adequate
ventilation follow installation
instructions. Insucient
ventilation on back of the
product increases energy
consumption and decreases
cooling eciency.
The internal temperatures of the
appliance may be aected by the
ambient temperature, frequency
of door opening, as well as
location of the appliance.
Temperature setting should take
into consideration these factors.
Reduce to a minimum door
opening
When thawing frozen food, place
them in the refrigerator. The low
temperature of the frozen
products cools the food in the
refrigerator.
Allow warm food and drinks to
cool down before placing in the
appliance.
Positioning of the shelves in the
refrigerator has no impact on the
ecient usage of energy. Food
should be placed on the shelves
in such way to ensure proper air
circulation (food should not touch
each other and distance between
food and rear wall should be
kept).
You can increase storage capacity
of frozen food by removing
baskets and, if present, Stop Frost
shelve, maintaining an equivalent
energy consumption.
High energy class products are
tted with high eciency motors
that remain operational for
longer, but have a low power
consumption. Do not worry if the
engine continues to run for
longer periods.

ACTIVE ZERO
DRAWER
EN
The Active Zero compartment is specically
designed to maintain a low temperature and the
correct humidity to preserve fresh food for longer
TURNING ON AND TURNING OFF
THE COMPARTMENT
The internal temperature of the compartment is
approximately 0° when the compartment is turned
on.
For the correct functioning of the Active Zero
compartment, it is necessary that:
› the refrigerator compartment is turned on;
› the temperature is between +2°C and +6°C
› the drawer in the Active Zero compartment must
be inserted for it to be turned on;
› one of the following special functions is not
selected: Stand-by, Cooling-O, Vacation (if
present), in this case, remove the food contained in
it.
Important
If the compartment is turned on and food with a
high water content is present, condensation may
form on the shelves. In this case, turn the function
o temporarily.
Be careful when positioning food and containers
that are small in size on the upper shelf of the Active
Zero compartment in order to prevent them
accidentally falling between the shelf and the back
wall of the refrigerator compartment.
(for example, meat, sh, fruits and winter
vegetables).
To activate/
deactivate the
box, press the
button.
When the box has been activated, the symbol lights
up.
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.
› if the compartment is turned on and the drawer is
open, the symbol in the control panel may
automatically turn o. The symbol will light up
again when the drawer is inserted
› regardless of the state of the compartment, you
may hear a faint noise, which you should consider as
normal
› when the compartment is not in operation, the
temperature inside it depends on the general
temperature of the refrigerator compartment. In
this case, it is advised that fruits and vegetables that
are not sensitive to cold (berries, apples, apricots,
carrots, spinach, lettuce, etc.) are stored in it.
REMOVING THE ACTIVE ZERO COMPARTMENT
Carry out the following steps:
› to make it easier to remove the compartment, we
recommend that you empty (and possibly remove)
the lower door shelves;
› turn o the compartment;
› remove the compartment by rotating it upwards;
› remove the white plastic shelf under the
compartment.
Note
It’s not possible to remove the upper shelf and side
supports.
To use the Active Zero 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 that you
turn o and remove the Active Zero compartment.
