6.2 Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator compartment
are equipped with a series of runners so
that the shelves can be positioned as
desired.
To ensure correct air
circulation, do not move the
glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer.
6.3 Extra Chill drawer
The Extra Chill drawer ensures an
environment with a lower temperature
thanks to the active circulation of cold air
and is suitable for the storage of a variety
of fresh food (like fish, meat, seafood,
lightly pickled food etc.) as it preserves
its high nutritional values as well as high
humidity level.
The Extra Chill drawer is located in the
lower part of the refrigerator, directly
above the vegetable drawer.
To remove the drawer:
1. Pull the drawer out until it stops.
2. Once you reach the end of runners,
lift slightly the front of the drawer and
detach it from the appliance.
ENGLISH 15

To put the drawer back into
its initial position, follow the
above steps in reverse
order.
6.4 Vegetable drawer
There is a special drawer in the bottom
part of the appliance suitable for storage
of fruits and vegetables.
6.5 Removing and installing the
freezer drawers
To remove a drawer from the freezer
compartment:
1. Open the freezer door completely.
2. Pull the drawer out until it stops.
3. Lift slightly the front of the drawer
and detach it from the appliance.
To put the drawer back into
its initial position, follow the

6.6 Humidity control
The glass shelf incorporates a device
with slits (adjustable by means of a
sliding lever), which makes it possible to
regulate the humidity in the vegetable
drawer(s).
Do not place any food
products on the humidity
control device.
The position of the humidity control
depends on the type and on the amount
of fruits and vegetables:
• Slots closed: recommended when
there is a small amount of fruits and
vegetables. In this way, the natural
moisture content in fruits and
vegetables is preserved longer.
• Slots opened: recommended when
there is a big amount of fruits and
vegetables. In this way, more air
circulation results in a lower air
moisture.
6.7 Fan
The refrigerator compartment is
equipped with a device that allows rapid
cooling of food and keeps a more
uniform temperature in the compartment.
This device activates automatically when
needed.
Do not block the air inlet and
outlet openings when storing
food, otherwise air
circulation provided by the
fan will be impaired.
6.8 Bottle rack
The refrigerator compartment is
equipped with the bottle rack, which
enables storing bottled wine or drinks,
and it can be taken out to clean.
Place the bottles (with the opening facing
front) in the pre-positioned shelf.

Use the bottle rack only to
store bottles. Make sure
placed bottles are closed.
6.9 Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen
and deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the Extra
Freeze function at least 3 hours before

the first compartment or drawer from the
top.
The maximum amount of food that can
be frozen without adding other fresh food
during 24 hours is specified on the rating
plate (a label located inside the
appliance).
6.10 Storage of frozen food
When activating an appliance for the first
time or after a period out of use, before
putting the products in the compartment
let the appliance run at least 3 hours with
the Extra Freeze function switched on.
CAUTION!
In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due
to a power failure, if the
power has been off for
longer than the value shown
on rating plate under "rising
time", the defrosted food
must be consumed quickly
or cooked immediately then
cooled and then re-frozen.
6.11 Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to
being used, can be thawed in the
refrigerator compartment or at room
temperature, depending on the time
available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still
frozen, directly from the freezer: in this
case, cooking will take longer.

drawers in the bottom part of the
appliance and shelves evenly
distributed. Position of the door bins
does not affect energy consumption.
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than necessary.
• Freezer: The colder the temperature
setting, the higher the energy
consumption.
• Fridge: Do not set too high
temperature to save energy unless it
is required by the characteristics of
the food.
• If the ambient temperature is high and
the temperature control is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice
formation on the evaporator. In this
case, set the temperature control
ENGLISH 17

toward higher temperature to allow
automatic defrosting and to save
energy this way.
• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not
cover the ventilation grilles or holes.
• Make sure that food products inside
the appliance allow air circulation
through dedicated holes in the rear
interior of the appliance.
7.2 Hints for freezing
• Activate Extra Freeze function at least
3 hours before placing the food inside
the freezer compartment.
• Before freezing wrap and seal fresh
food in: aluminium foil, plastic film or
bags, airtight containers with lid.
• For more efficient freezing and
thawing divide food into small
portions.
• It is recommended to put labels and
dates on all your frozen food. This will
help to identify foods and to know
when they should be used before their
deterioration.
• The food should be fresh when being
frozen to preserve good quality.
Especially fruits and vegetables
should be frozen after the harvest to
preserve all of their nutrients.
• Do not freeze bottles or cans with
liquids, in particular drinks containing
carbon dioxide - they may explode
during freezing.
• Do not put hot food in the freezer
compartment. Cool it down at room
temperature before placing it inside
the compartment.
• To avoid increase in temperature of
already frozen food, do not place
fresh unfrozen food directly next to it.
Place food at room temperature in the
part of the freezer compartment
where there is no frozen food.
• Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice
lollies immediately after taking them
out of the freezer. Risk of frostbites.
• Do not re-freeze defrosted food. If the
food has defrosted, cook it, cool it
down and then freeze it.
7.3 Hints for storage of frozen
food
• Freezer compartment is the one
marked with .
• Good temperature setting that
ensures preservation of frozen food
products is a temperature less than or
equal to -18°C.
Higher temperature setting inside the
appliance may lead to shorter shelf
life.
• The whole freezer compartment is
suitable for storage of frozen food
products.
• Leave enough space around the food
to allow air to circulate freely.
• For adequate storage refer to food
packaging label to see the shelf life of
food.
• It is important to wrap the food in such
a way that prevents water, humidity or
condensation from getting inside.
7.4 Shopping tips
After grocery shopping:
• Ensure that the packaging is not
damaged - the food could be
deteriorated. If the package is swollen
or wet, it might have not been stored
in the optimal conditions and
defrosting may have already started.
• To limit the defrosting process buy
frozen goods at the end of your
grocery shopping and transport them
in a thermal and insulated cool bag.
• Place the frozen foods immediately in
the freezer after coming back from the
shop.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do
not re-freeze it. Consume it as soon
as possible.
• Respect the expiry date and the
storage information on the package.

7.6 Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
• Good temperature setting that
ensures preservation of fresh food is
a temperature less than or equal to
+4°C.
Higher temperature setting inside the
appliance may lead to shorter shelf
life of food.
• Cover the food with packaging to
preserve its freshness and aroma.
• Always use closed containers for
liquids and for food, to avoid flavours
or odours in the compartment.
• To avoid the cross-contamination
between cooked and raw food, cover
the cooked food and separate it from
the raw one.
• It is recommended to defrost the food
inside the fridge.
• Do not insert hot food inside the
appliance. Make sure it has cooled
down at room temperature before
inserting it.
• To prevent food waste the new stock
of food should always be placed
behind the old one.
7.7 Hints for food refrigeration
• Fresh food compartment is the one
marked (on the rating plate) with .
• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable
packaging and place it on the glass
shelf above the vegetable drawer.
Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly
(eliminate the soil) and place in a
special drawer (vegetable drawer).
• It is advisable not to keep the exotic
fruits like bananas, mangos, papayas
etc. in the refrigerator.
• Vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes,
onions, and garlic should not be kept
in the refrigerator.
ENGLISH 19

• Butter and cheese: place in an airtight
container or wrap in an aluminium foil
or a polythene bag to exclude as
much air as possible.
• Bottles: close them with a cap and
place them on the door bottle shelf, or
(if available) on the bottle rack.
• Always refer to the expiry date of the
products to know how long to keep
them.
