SYSTEM B B B A A It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism on the top part of the refrigerator compartment (see diagram). System maintains a constant fridge temperature to keep food fresher for longer and will quickly restore the temperature to the correct level, even if the door is opened frequently: the blown air (A) is cooled when it comes into contact with the cold wall, whereas the hotter air (B) is sucked up (see diagram). The back wall may be covered in frost or droplets of water, depending on whether the compressor is in operation or whether it is paused. 18 Using the freezer to its full potential • Use the FREEZER OPERATION knob to adjust the temperature (see Description). • Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been defrosted. • Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment where the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing. • 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). • To freeze (if the freezer is already operating): - for small quantities which are less than half the figure indicated on the data plate, press the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button (the corresponding yellow indicator light illuminates), place the food inside and close the door. The function is disabled automatically after 24 hours or when optimal temperatures have been reached (indicator light goes out); - for large quantities which are greater than half the figure indicated on the data plate, hold down the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button until the corresponding indicator light begins to flash. After another 24 hours, the function will be disabled automatically (indicator light goes out). • 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. Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours • The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or sealed properly. • If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open. 20 Defrosting the freezer compartment If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost manually: 1. The day before defrosting, press the SUPER FREEZE button (the yellow SUPER FREEZE indicator light illuminates) to further cool the food. The function is automatically disabled after 24 hours, or it may be disabled at any moment by pressing the SUPER FREEZE button again. At this point, set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on which will switch the refrigerator off. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in another freezer or in a cool place.
