[. . . ] After approximately 24 hours the freezer will have reached the optimal food freezing temperature. After 24 hours the food will have been frozen properly and the function will be deactivated automatically (the indicator light 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. • In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the freezer compartment, you may remove the bins (except the lowest bin and the special COOL CARE ZONE bin, which has an adjustable temperature) and place the food directly onto the evaporator plates. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours. 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 (FREEZER OPERATION Knob ). 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. ICE CARE tray The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no longer comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after filling with water is also provided). Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with water through the opening provided. Excess water prevents the ice cubes from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to melt and empty the tray). Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments each mould fills with water (see diagram). When the ice has formed (minimum time approximately 8 hours) knock the tray against a hard surface and wet the outside so that the ice cubes come loose and take them out through the opening.

This can be made easier by placing containers with lukewarm water in the freezer compartment. Certain appliances are fitted with the DRAIN SYSTEM to lead the water outside: let the water flow into a container (see diagram). , Replacing the light bulb To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment, pull out the plug from the electrical socket. Access the light bulb by removing the cover as indicated in the diagram. [. . . ] • Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air from escaping (see Maintenance). 21 Troubleshooting GB Malfunctions: The green POWER indicator light does not illuminate.
