unless they have been cooked already.
• Stored food should be prepared while fresh (chopped,
sliced, peeled, cooked) and should be in perfect
condition.
• Perishable foods stored using the vacuum system must
still be stored inside the refrigerator.
• Cooked foods must be left to cool before being stored
using the vacuum system.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
• Adjust the temperature using the display.
• Press the SUPER COOL button (rapid cooling) to lower
the temperature quickly. For example, when you place a
large number of new food items inside a fridge the
internal temperature will rise slightly. The function
quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing the
temperature until it reaches the ideal level.
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment,
not hot foods (see Precautions and tips).
• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than
raw foods.
• Do not store liquids in open containers. They will
increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause
condensation to form.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• Adjust the temperature using the display.
• The Cool Care Zone is a compartment that allows
several types of food to be frozen at the most suitable
temperature (ice cream and alcoholic drinks); the other
two storage compartments (see overall view) are
designed to store frozen foods under normal
conditions.
To freeze (if the freezer is already operating)
deactivate the Cool Care Zone and empty it, press the
rapid-freezing SUPER FREEZE button (the
corresponding LED lights up), place the food inside and
close the door. The function is disabled automatically
after 24 hours or when the optimal temperatures have
been reached (LED switches off).
The food may now be moved into the two lower
compartments (so that the Cool Care Zone can be
used if necessary) or even left in the Cool Care Zone
compartment, which operates as a normal storage
compartment when the function has not been
activated.
• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already
been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten
(within 24 hours).
• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into
contact with food that has already been defrosted.
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which
are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they
could break.
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is
indicated on the plate containing the technical properties
located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment
(for example: Kg/24h: 4).
! Do not open the door during freezing.
! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the
freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside
the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9
-14 hours.
Cool Care Zone
The Cool Care Zone is a special compartment in the
freezer which allows the user to choose between 4
different operating modes that may be set according to
specific requirements and the type of food stored inside.
The temperature settings that may be selected are -8°C, -
12°C and -18°C, indicated by the icons depicting a
strawberry, an ice cream and a bottle on the control
panel. The Cool Care Zone is equipped with controls that
may be operated independently from the other
compartments inside the freezer, by the Cool Care Zone
may also be deactivated using the control panel, so that it
can then be used as a normal freezer compartment.
