2.7. ZERO DEGREES DRAWER*
The Zero Degrees Drawer is specifically designed to
maintain a low temperature and a suitable humidity
level, in order to keep foods fresher for longer (e.g.
meat, fish, fruit and winter vegetables).
Activating and deactivating the box
The temperature inside the box, when active, is
approximately 0°. The following factors are vital for the
“Zero Degrees” box to work properly:
- the refrigerator compartment must be switched on
- the temperature of the refrigerator compartment must
be between +2°C and +5°C
- the box must be inserted to enable activation
- no special functions must have been selected
(Standby, Vacation – where applicable).
If one of these special functions has been selected, the
“Zero Degrees” box must be deactivated manually, and
any fresh food inside it removed. If manual deactivation
does not take place, the box will be deactivated
automatically after 8 hours.
Note:
- if the symbol does not light up when the function is
activated, check that the drawer is properly inserted; if
the problem persists, contact your nearest authorized
After-sales Service
- if the function is active and the drawer open, the
symbol on the control panel may be deactivated
automatically. If the drawer is inserted, the symbol will
become active again
- irrespective of the state of the function, a slight noise
may be heard: this is normal and is not a cause for
concern.
- when the function is not active, the temperature in the
drawer depends on the general temperature inside
the refrigerator.
In this case, we recommend it is used to store fruit
and vegetables which are not sensitive to cold
temperatures (fruits of the forest, apples, apricots,
carrots, spinach, lettuce, etc.).

By default, the fan is switched on. It is advisable to
keep the fan switched on, so that the 6th Sense Fresh
Control / ProFresh function can work properly and also
when the ambient air temperature is above 27 ÷ 28°C
or if you notice drops of water on the glass shelves or
in sever humidity conditions. Please note that when the
fan is switched on it will not continuously work. The fan
will start/stop working depending on the temperature
and/or humidity level inside the product. It is therefore
absolutely normal if the fan does not move even if the
fan is switched on.
To activate or deactivate this function – see enclosed
Quick Start Guide.
Attention: Switching- off the Fan deactivate the 6th
Sense Fresh Control / ProFresh function.
Note:
Do not obstruct the air intake area with food items.
To guarantee the right performance at lower ambient
temperature (colder than 18°C) and to minimize Energy
Consumption, turn off the fan.
To turn off the fan please see above procedure.

automatic.
Droplets of water on the rear wall inside the refrigerator
compartment indicate that the automatic defrost phase
is in progress. The defrost water is automatically run
into a drain hole and collected in a container, where it
evaporates.
2.11. LED LIGHT SYSTEM*
The light system inside the fridge compartment uses
LEDs light, allowing a better lightning as well as very
low energy consumption. If the LED light system does
not work, please contact the Service to replace it.
Important:
The refrigerator compartment light switches on when
the refrigerator door is opened. If the door is kept open
for more than 10 minutes the light will be automatically

4. FOOD-STORAGE TIPS
The refrigerator is the ideal storage location for ready
meals, fresh and preserved food, dairy products, fruit
and vegetables and beverage.
4.1. AIR VENTILATION
• The natural circulation of air in the refrigerator
compartment results in zones with different
temperatures. It is coldest directly above the fruits
and vegetables crisper and at the rear wall. It is
warmest at the top front of the compartment.
• Insufficient ventilation results in an increase
in energy consumption and reduction of the
refrigerating performance.
4.2. HOW TO STORE FRESH FOOD AND
BEVERAGE
• Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminum and glass
containers and cling film to wrap foods.
• Always use closed containers for liquids and for
food that may give off or be tainted by odor or flavor
transfer or cover them.
• Foods which give off a large amount ethylene
gas and those that are sensitive to this gas, such
as fruit, vegetables and salad, should always be
separated or wrapped so as not to reduce the
storage life; for example do not store tomatoes
together with kiwi fruits or cabbage.
• Do not store food too close together to enable
sufficient air circulation.
• To avoid bottles falling over, you can use the bottle
holder (available on selected models).
• If you have a little quantity of food to store in the
refrigerator, we recommend to use the shelves
above the crisper for fruits and vegetables since this
is the coolest area of the compartment.

*Available on selected models only. Please check on the QUICK START GUIDE if this function is actually available on your model.

Fuse replacement
If the mains lead of this appliance is fitted with a BS 1363A 13amp fused
plug, to change a fuse in this type of plug use an A.S.T.A. approved fuse
to BS 1362 type and proceed as follows:

1. Remove the fuse cover (A) and fuse (B).

2. Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse cover.
3. Refit both into plug.

Important:
The fuse cover must be refitted when changing a fuse and if the fuse cover is lost the plug must not be used until
a correct replacement is fitted.
Correct replacement are identified by the colour insert or the colour embossed in words on the base of the plug.
Replacement fuse covers are available from your local electrical store.

For the Republic of Ireland only

The information given in respect of Great Britain will frequently apply, but a third type of plug and socket is also
used, the 2-pin, side earth type.

Socket outlet / plug (valid for both countries)

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, please contact After-sales Service for further instruction.
Please do not attempt to change plug yourself. This procedure needs to be carried out by a qualified technician in
compliance with the manufactures instructions and current standard safety regulations.

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.
• Insufficient ventilation on back of the product
increases energy consumption and decreases
cooling efficiency.
• The internal temperatures of the appliance may be
affected by the ambient temperature, frequency of
door opening, as well as location of the appliance.
Temperature setting should take into consideration
these factors.
• Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before
placing in the appliance.
• Do not obstruct the fan (if available) with food items.
• After placing the food check if the door of
compartments closes properly, especially the freezer
door.
• 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.
• Appliances could have special compartments (Fresh
Food Compartment, Zero Degree Box,...). In case
not differently specified in the specific booklet
of product, they can be removed, maintaining
equivalent performances.
• Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has
no impact on the efficient 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.
• Damaged gasket must be replaced as soon as
possible.
• High energy class products are fitted with high-
efficiency motors that remain operational for longer,
but have a low power consumption. Do not worry if
the engine continues to run for longer periods.
